FAQ

Many patients wish to specifically consult a male doctor or a female doctor. This could be because for certain types of medical concerns, it’s easier for patients to relate to a doctor of their own gender as they have had similar medical experiences and can speak from those experiences. For example, young men may find it easier to open up to a male doctor about specific types of medical questions that they may otherwise be reserved to talk about.

Sometimes the preference may have its basis in religious reasons -- women from some cultures prefer to consult female physicians, and the same could be true for men.

Further, the gender information is sourced directly from the CPSO’s register of physicians. We have no input into this. There are also physicians who identify as non-binary and for those doctors the gender will show as "Non-binary".

The Find My Doctor team remains committed to respecting all genders and does not condone the use of gender information for any type of discriminatory purposes. Our sole objective is to provide patients with all the information we can to help them select a doctor they are comfortable with.

While we strive to update our information regularly, it’s inevitable that with the passage of time some of that information will change without our knowing about it. If you discover that any information has changed, we invite you to contact us at ____. We will review it and once confirmed, we’ll make the necessary updates.
