Allergy alert: Paddlers Cove is a dog-friendly building. Several offices have a dog who frequents the office. If you or your child have a severe dog allergy, please let us know so we can accommodate your needs.

For those with dogs, although Paddlers Cove is a dog-friendly building, please do not bring your dog to Shoreline. We have clients with allergies or have a fear of dogs and we want to ensure that they do not encounter barriers to accessing their care at our office.

In-office hours are based on booked appointments. During the week, we work with clients in the morning, afternoon, and evening. On Saturdays and Sundays some clinicians see clients in the morning and afternoon.

If contacting us by phone, please leave a message if we are not available at the time of your call. Please note that we are a small clinic and do not have a receptionist.

For new inquiries, allow one to five days for a response. Please complete our contact form below.

Where Services Are Provided

Most services are provided in person at one of our offices. Services are also available by telepractice (Zoom Healthcare).

For school-age children who are a good fit for telepractice, we can work with them during the school day if their school allows it and there is an adult who can set this up for them (e.g., Resource Room teacher).

Referrals

Clients may be referred by their family physician, audiologist, neurologist, early childhood educator, or other health/education professional. Clients can also refer themselves.

Insurance

Sometimes private insurers (e.g., SunLife) require a doctor's referral for you to submit claims under your plan. If you plan on using insurance, please speak with your insurance company to understand your coverage. Insurance companies have policies to protect your privacy and so are not permitted to release this information to us.

Learn more about payment options including which insurers we can direct bill to here.

Getting Here

There is free parking for visitors. If the main parking lot is full, visitors can park in the lot across the street at Prince Albert Road and Celtic Drive next to the gas station.

The 62 bus stops outside Paddlers Cove on Prince Albert Rd. The Mic Mac Mall terminal is a 20-minute walk away. The 54 bus stops a 10-minute walk away at the other end of Lake Banook.

There are two bike racks on the property. The one closest to the main doors is shown below.

Enter through the main doors of the building to access the offices at Paddlers Cove. The main doors are the two double doors by the white columns where the building bumps out (shown in photograph below). We are on the main floor of the building.
