LATE CANCELLATION (< 24 hours): A 50% fee of the service cost will be charged. NO SHOW (failure to appear without prior notice): A 100% fee of the service cost will be charged. This policy is more stringent because the service provider has allocated time and resources reserved to you.

The clinic is a 5-minute walk from the Warringah Mall and is on the route of the BLine service.

Mornings are typically when children are well-rested and more alert, which can result in more accurate test results. PRICING POLICIES: Our prices are subject to change without prior notice twice a year, in January and July. Additionally, starting on the 1st of July 2024, some service fees will include GST.
