If you need to find a doctor or psychiatrist, you can use the Doctor Search on The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario web site. To find a psychiatrist, go to the Advanced Search page, and then in the Physician Type list, select Specialist, and then select Psychiatry from the drop-down list. Although the generated list will show which doctors are accepting new patients, it's always best to check with the doctor directly, as the list may not be up to date.
