Electronic Appointment Booking and Secure email messaging is available as of March 2025.

Uncategorized

Hollandview Medical is pleased to welcome spring and wish all our patients and loved ones the best of health in this new season.


We are excited to roll out a few new initiatives this year.

  1. Electronic booking of appointments. Effective immediately, we have rolled out an electronic appointment booking system. You can access this via the links on the page to the right (icon or text link). Since this is experimental; we apologize in advance for any difficulties in using this system as it may not work for all patient files at this time or there may be unexpected booking difficulties.

    We thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime.

    NOTE – eBooking is not available for checkups/well child visits.

  2. eMessaging. This has been a request for a while and at this time, we are trialing out an OUTGOING ONLY email/secure messaging system.

    Unfortunately, it is not designed to handle incoming requests at this time and we ask that you still call into the office for any questions or concerns.

    However, this will allow the doctor to send out requisitions, reminders, questionnaires and notes for patients in a secure electronic manner.

    IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SYSTEM, PLEASE UPDATE YOUR EMAIL WITH US AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE / AT YOUR NEXT VISIT.

Tips about our office for new patients.

Since there are patients new to the office; we thought a few pointers would be handy to make your visit to the office more pleasant.

The public washroom is just past the elevators on the right.    Also, if you need to use the bathroom while you are waiting, please feel free to do so and simply let us know when you come back.  We keep your appointment in priority sequence.

Lifelabs is also past the elevators, but to the left; their hours are generally Mon-Fri.;   7 am – 3 pm.  NO appointment is necessary.

When arriving at your appointment; if the secretaries are busy,  please feel free to leave your health card on the counter and take a seat.   We will check you in and ensure that your appointment .

Old records.     If you wish to get your old records; please complete the transfer of records request form and contact your previous family doctor to see if there is a charge.

You may wish to discuss with Dr. Hendrick whether she needs your old records at the time of your appointment.

Preventative Care Guidelines

Uncategorized

Preventative Care Reminder List.

It has been an honor to be your physician to date. At this time; we have implemented a trial program to ensure that our patients receive the optimal screening tests as recommended by current guidelines.

At this time, it is highly recommended that you get the following tests done.

For ALL

Influenza vaccination – over age 65, we HIGHLY recommend the flu shot for patients aged 65+ as it is one of the best measures that we have to keep our seniors healthy. Getting the flu as our immune system ages puts you at greater risk for hospitalization, pneumonia and serious consequences. About 90% of deaths from the seasonal flu occur in adults over the age of 65.

Colorectal cancer screening – between age 50-74, we recommend that unless you have had a recent colonoscopy; a fecal occult blood test be done to make sure that there is no microscopic blood in the stool. Blood in the stool may be a sign of benign problems (ie: hemorrhoids) or more serious disease

For Women only

Mammogram – between age 50-74; we recommend that women get mammograms at least every 24 month to screen for breast cancer.

Pap Smear – between age 35-69; we recommend that women with low risk get a pap test every 30 months to screen for cervical cancer. Those with recent pap abnormalities should inquire as to the frequency that they should be getting their next pap test.

We value your health and with these measures; we hope to ensure that we can screen or prevent some of the more common diseases that we encounter over time. If you haven’t had these procedures done in a while; please discuss them with us at your next appointment or call in.
