The assessment is very detailed and involves a lengthy form. The form can be sent to Dr. Doidge only by fax or mail. For privacy reasons, DO NOT email it to him. The doctor will be blocking off 20 minutes for you, so please do not miss your appointment. The first appointment will be dedicated to understanding your problem by going over the form with you. 

Treatment will focus on counselling and CBT-I, which stands for cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia. Patients can be on/off medications during treatment.

Typical treatment will be 4-8 sessions depending on the circumstances.

Treatment is not focussed on drug treatment. For medication issues, speak to your family doctor.

During the COVID outbreak this is done remotely. Call us for an appointment. Please have your OHIP number ready when you call.

During the COVID outbreak Dr. Doidge is expecting a rise in insomnia due to stress.

Plan for about four sessions with the doctor at approximately one week intervals.
