OUR OFFICE IS MOVING AS OF MAR 1, 2025
Attention patients of Direnfeld Family Medicine - OFFICE IS MOVING
Dear Valued Patients,
We are writing to inform you of an important change regarding our practice. After careful
consideration and due to circumstances beyond our control—including the end of our current
lease with no option to renew—we will be relocating our office.
Effective March 1, 2025, our new office will be located at:
The Station
545 Wilson Avenue, Toronto, ON, M3H 0C4
Phone: 416-633-2345
We want to reassure you that any current patient who wishes to continue their care with their
current family doctor at the new location will have a guaranteed spot. To confirm your place in
the practice, we kindly ask that you contact the new office and complete any necessary
paperwork (if applicable) by March 1, 2025. Please only contact them after January 1, 2025.
We are excited to share that the new location offers several benefits that will enhance your access
to care, including:
• Extended hours for urgent issues: Appointments available Monday through Thursday,
5–8 PM, and Saturday mornings.
• On-site services: A pharmacy and physiotherapist conveniently located in the same
building.
• Accessible location: Situated on a major bus route (Wilson Avenue) and steps from
Wilson Subway Station. For those who drive, there is underground parking that is free
under the building.
We would also like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to Michelle, Rita,
Merle, and Jackie for their years of dedicated service. We wish them all the best in their future
endeavours.
We acknowledge that transitions like this can be challenging, and we deeply appreciate your
understanding and trust. It has been a privilege to be part of your healthcare journey, and we look
forward to continuing to support your health and well-being at our new location.
Thank you for your continued support.
Warm regards,
Dr. Leonard Direnfeld & Dr. Samuel Direnfeld
