Women’s Health at Midtown Medical Center
Drs. Helen Vanderkooy, Hetshree Joshi, and Pavandeep Takhar are joining us monthly to assist with women’s health. They will see patients by referral only and will not be starting their own family practice. Currently, they are only seeing patients for pap tests. If the spots are full, please check back monthly. If you do not have a referral, you may obtain one from the family practice by showing up 5 minutes prior to your appointment.
Need a Pap Test?
A pap test checks for early signs of cervical cancer. In Ontario, anyone with a cervix who is 25 or older and has ever been sexually active should have a pap test every 5 years, or as recommended by their doctor. The Ontario guidelines for pap tests changed in 2025. If you had your last pap test before that, you should get your next one 3 years after your last test (unless your doctor said something different).
Menopausal symptom management
Will be offered by Dr. Vanderkooy late March 2026, timing to be determined. Please book via phone call or e-mail.
