Women's Health FAQs
Can I book if I’m not sure what is causing my symptoms?
Yes. You do not need to know your diagnosis before reaching out. Many symptoms can have overlapping causes, and part of the assessment may involve reviewing your history, previous investigations, medications, and symptoms to determine appropriate next steps.
Can you order blood work, imaging, or other tests?
When clinically appropriate, investigations may be ordered as part of your care. Recommendations are individualized based on your history, symptoms, previous testing, and current clinical guidelines.
Can you prescribe medication?
Yes. Nurse practitioners in Ontario can prescribe medications within their scope of practice. Prescribing through Rise is based on an individualized clinical assessment and is not guaranteed simply because a particular medication or treatment is requested.
Can I seek a second opinion about a diagnosis or treatment plan?
Yes. Second opinions and care navigation are part of the services offered at Rise. This may include reviewing previous assessments or investigations, discussing treatment options, and helping you better understand your choices.
What if I need a physical exam or in-person assessment?
Rise Women’s Health currently provides virtual consultations across Ontario. We are now accepting bookings for in-person services beginning October 1, 2026, at our Peterborough clinic, where we will offer select in-person visits, gynecologic examinations, and office procedures. When completing the Become a Patient intake form, simply select the in-person service you’re interested in.
If an in-person assessment is recommended as part of your care, we will discuss the most appropriate option for your situation. This may include booking an appointment at Rise, coordinating with your family doctor or primary care provider, or referring you to another healthcare provider where appropriate
