We are writing to inform you that Dr. Shihani Thillaivasan will be leaving her practice at Malvern Medical Centre as of August 31, 2025, to pursue new professional opportunities.

​

Please rest assured that your medical records will remain securely on file at Malvern Medical Centre, and you will continue to have access to ongoing care.

​

In the coming months, we will be welcoming a new female family physician, expected to join our team within the next six months. In the interim, locum physicians will be available to provide continuity of care for Dr. Thillaivasan’s patients.

​

You may continue to use our online booking portal or call the clinic as usual to schedule appointments during this transition period.

​

Should you choose to transfer your care to another provider, we can provide a copy of your medical records upon receiving written consent. Please note that an administrative fee may apply for the preparation and transfer of these records.

After an incredible 48 years of serving the Scarborough community, Dr. Teplinsky is retiring from Malvern Medical Centre on April 30, 2025.

​

We are deeply grateful for the trust and connections built over the years and are committed to ensuring a smooth transition of care with Dr. Chinedu Okudo, who will take over the practice.

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.
