Frequently asked questions

For any emergency, call 911. This includes emergencies involving your child’s neuromuscular problem.

  • For patients who are being followed by the Neuromuscular Clinic: For patients who have seen a CHEO Neuromuscular specialist, call your Nurse Case Manager at 613-737-7600 ext 4504 or send a direct message to them through MyChart. This is not for urgent calls. Our nurses are here to give support, education and will work to coordinate your child’s care. It may take 3-5 days for us to get back to you (and sometimes longer during holidays). We will return the most serious calls first. Please avoid leaving multiple messages for the same issue.
  • For patients who are waiting for their first visit with the Neurology Clinic: Please do not call the nurses’ line if you have not yet been seen by a CHEO Neuromuscular specialist. Please call your family doctor, pediatrician or visit your nearest walk-in clinic for everything else.
