Referrals
Dr. McKenna is a specialist and requires a referral. Physicians looking to refer a patient can do so via Ocean e-Referral or by faxing referral letter to 705-472-3025.
Dr. McKenna is a general internist who specializes in high risk pregnancies in an office setting.
Dr. McKenna also sees consultations at North Bay Regional Health Centre for Pre-Operative, Geriatric, Stroke/Anticoagulation, and Indigenous Hub referrals. These referrals will not be accepted at our office and should directed to the appropriate facility.
Pre-operative referrals please fax to 705-494-9976.
Geriatric Referrals please fax to 705-494-3097. The NBRHC Geriatric Services Referral Form can be found here.
Due to the high volume of our outpatient, obstetric, and geriatric practices with on-call requirements at NBRHC, Dr. McKenna has limited space in the office for other GIM consultations. Referrals for chronic pain, fatigue, or routine hypertension and diabetes (non pregnant) are not accepted. NBRHC physicians who require complex GIM consultation are encouraged to discuss directly via Vocera prior to referring to the office. You will be notified if referrals cannot be accommodated within 3 business days. Please send antenatal records for all pregnant patients and any other pertinent investigations from other specialists.
