MEDCAN 150 YORK STREET


Comprehensive Health Assessment

We identify health risks, before they become a risk to you.

Medcan’s flagship service is our Comprehensive Health Assessment which includes 12-15 sophisticated diagnostic tests, all performed at one location within a single 4 hour visit. During your Assessment, your physician will spend an hour to understand your medical history, conduct a thorough medical exam and synthesize the results of the diagnostic on-site tests that we will conduct. Medcan’s objectives are to not only pick up early signs of disease, but also to give you a strategy to improve your health.
Should any health concerns arise during your Assessment, we will book an appointment for you with one of our growing number of on-site specialists, or our dedicated referral team will book an appointment for you in the community with one of our preferred specialists. For clients who wish to access services in the United States, Medcan has a partnership with Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, the number one ranked hospital in the U.S., to provide seamless referrals and care.
Our Comprehensive Health Assessment is available to both individuals who want a complete analysis of their health, and corporations who want their employees to benefit from an Executive Health Plan.

Your Comprehensive Health Assessment at the Medcan Clinic includes:


Comprehensive Health Assessment Cost: $2,395
Comprehensive Health Assessment Membership Bundle: $2,795

SELF-HELP MEDICINE: "CHEMSTRIP 10" urine test strips (ROCHE)

In Toronto multitest urine dip sticks are difficult to buy. Most GPs do not use due to cost. Poor State medicine payment does not cover overhead of urine container, toilet facilities and $0.75 cost of a strip plus`detailed charting.

People can buy personal supplies from old established SURGO SURGICAL SUPPLY in Keswick, a small town North of Toronto www.surgo.com

Urine sent to lab is useless as usually urine stands for longer than TWO hours.

If physicians united financially they could be as successful as the Ontario Teachers' & Public Service Unions.

The Teachers' Union bought Medical laboratories and the Public service union bought REVERA with 400 retirement homes.

At present Ontario physicians are not allowed to form a trades union; although they are fixed-price contract workers of the Ministry of Health. After 35 years of restriction they are now able in to Incorporate.

According to the Canada Health Act they are not allowed to change a penny more than the State fee. The College of Physicians and Surgeons employs hundreds of part- time doctors to "inspect" their colleagues practices, at the same time finding out colleagues' "trade secrets".

Anyone, anywhere in the world can complain about an Ontario doctor. Every complaint has to be investigated by the "College" which is made up of 50% political non-medical appointees.
