Making an Appointment
Clients report Dr Madigan's therapy practice to be highly successful and cost efficient. As a consequence of this success and wide spread professional and 'word of mouth' referrals - his practice hours fill up rather quickly. However, the office staff will do everything they can to book you a first appointment within three business days.
Sliding Fee Scale
As a service to the Vancouver community, Dr Madigan does 20% of his therapy work for free - he always has. There is currently a 6 month waiting list to be seen by him without charge. Dr Madigan does not have a sliding scale.
