Information only

Reading the site, writing to us or sending the consultation request form doesn’t create a professional relationship. That relationship begins only once Dr. Gingras has confirmed it with you and you have given your informed consent to services.

Not for emergencies

If you are in crisis or your safety is at risk, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. If you’re having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988, the Suicide Crisis Helpline, available across Canada day and night.

Consultation requests

Sending a request doesn’t reserve a time slot. Dr. Gingras replies personally to suggest a time for the 15-minute consultation.
