OAKVILLE SHOULDER AND UPPER LIMB CLINIC
The current wait for a consultation is 5-8 months and surgery is approximately 1 year
APPOINTMENTS
​
To care for a high volume of referrals, we are working as a team to see you sooner.
​
Dr. Gopie is a sports medicine specialist, experienced in the assessment and non-surgical management of shoulder, elbow and wrist injuries and problems. He will see new patients and guide further treatment and testing. He may suggest physiotherapy or an injection as many of these conditions do not require surgery. Patients who may require surgery or further assessment will be seen by Dr. Haverstock
​
Appointments with Dr. Gopie are on Tuesday at the North Oakville Medical Centre
​
Dr. Haverstock is at the North Oakville Medical Centre on Monday and Thursday, and at the OTMH Fracture Clinic on Wednesday morning.
IMAGING
Xray and MRI that were not done at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial, Milton or Georgetown Hospitals will need to be brought in on CD or Pockethealth.
​
We prefer that you print a "secure access page" and bring it to your appointment. This should have a nine digit code, and not a link to click on.
​
Patients are responsible to ensure that Xray and MRI done elsewhere are available to review. Reports alone are not sufficient and the images are not sent by any doctor or facility.
Ultrasound reports are sufficient and we don't need these images.
​
PLAN AHEAD

Consultation appointments are 20 minutes in length, Follow up appointments are 10 minutes long.
