Important Update: Prescription Refill Policy

At Malvern Medical Centre, our priority is ensuring that patients receive timely and appropriate medical care. As part of this commitment, we want to inform you about a potential $20 prescription refill fee, which may apply at your physician’s discretion.

 Why is there a fee?
Prescription refills require time for review to ensure they are appropriate and safe. While some refills can be completed without a visit, others require a more in-depth assessment. The fee helps cover the administrative and clinical time involved in processing these requests.

What are my options?

If you prefer not to pay the fee, you can schedule an appointment with your doctor for a no-cost refill. If you choose this option, please cancel your refill request and book a visit instead.
If your request is urgent and you cannot see your physician, you can visit our After Hours Clinic, which is available to all Malvern patients who have met their family doctor.

Processing Time
Please allow 2-3 business days for refill requests. Requests may take longer during holidays or office closures.

Emergency Situations
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please visit your nearest emergency department.

Our email address is offered as a convenience for three purposes only: (1) requesting an appointment (booking through the [patient portal] is faster), (2) asking about the status of a referral, (3) sending forms that require a physician's completion, such as insurance or disability forms, and (4) contacting us about a specific concern only if you have been instructed by your physician to do so.

Email is not for medical care. We cannot provide medical advice, assess symptoms, renew prescriptions, or respond to urgent concerns by email. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For urgent same-day matters, call the clinic at 416-291-7745

Emails are read during business hours only and may take up to 2 business days to receive a reply.

By emailing the clinic you accept this risk and consent to our replying to the address you write from. Please include only the minimum personal health information necessary — your name, date of birth, and a phone number are usually enough for us to find your file and call you back.
