Hand Clinic
The Royal Jubilee Hand Clinic provides assessment, care, minor interventions, and monitoring of ambulatory hand and finger injuries. The team consists of a Plastic Surgeon, and an Orthopedic Technician.
How to get a Referral
The Hand Clinic does not accept referrals directly from primary care providers. Your doctor or primary care provider can refer you to a plastic surgeon or specialist who will determine if you should be seen at the Hand Clinic.
The Royal Jubilee Hand Clinic is located in Clinic 3, Diagnostic & Treatment (D&T) Centre. Enter the D&T building via the Main Entrance, beside the Emergency entrance. Pass the Patient Information Desk, and then turn left down the vaulted corridor of outpatient clinics. Clinic 3 is located on the main level.
