Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals; therefore, you do NOT need a physician’s referral to see one of our physios. However, your extended benefits plan may require you to submit a doctor’s referral in order to get reimbursed for your physiotherapy session…

Are you able to bill under “Acupuncture” for extended benefits?
Unfortunately we cannot bill any of our physiotherapy treatments under “Acupuncture” as we are not Registered Acupuncturists. All of the physiotherapy treatments provided at Turtle Bay Physiotherapy will be billed under “Physiotherapy.” We perform acupuncture as a complementary treatment to physiotherapy.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Interac Debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and E-Transfer.
What is your cancellation policy?
We would really appreciate if you could provide 24 hour notice when cancelling your appointment.
