AASIC was established at Group23 to provide the public with quicker and more direct access to sports medicine physicians for assessment and management of acute sports or activity-related injuries sustained within the past three months.
The name Accelerated Access Sports Injury Clinic (AASIC) applies to our self-referral program, designed to help patients access care without delays caused by appointments with other practitioners or long waits in the emergency room for the sole purpose of a referral to our services.
We Offer Tailored, Patient-Centric Plans to Help Individuals Rise Above Their Injuries
No. You can access AASIC without a formal referral from your family doctor.
No. The appointment with a sports medicine physician is covered by Alberta Health Services as well as any imaging that they order, so there are no direct costs to Albertan patients. However, if you are from outside Alberta and do not own an Alberta healthcare card, you will be charged $50.
You will be charged a no-show fee if you do not call to cancel or reschedule your appointment 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time.
A sports medicine physician may prescribe medication or bracing products or refer a patient to physiotherapy services as part of the treatment plan. Note that none of these are directly covered by Alberta Health Care but may be covered by extended health benefit plans.

Healthy Spine Pilates2024-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yes, I recommend this clinic. Professional and cooperative specialists. I worked with Dr. Cameron- sport medicine Doctor during the fall 2023. He helped me with my knee injury. He was pro-active when other clinic was delaying my rehabilitation process. Thank you, Dr. Cameron and Group 23, for your excellence! Irina, @HealthySpinePilates Andreas G2024-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They're professional, timely, and above all, great at what they all do. My only regret is that I didn't go there sooner. Gord Bryant2024-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These folks run a first class operation. It's really one-stop shopping for people (young and old) with joint and muscle injuries and issues. In just the past 5 weeks, I have gone through medical examinations, on-the-spot imaging, the best physio I've ever experienced, meeting with knee brace experts, receiving my custom-made knee braces, and finally having fluid taken off my knee, and cortisone put in. Beyond this, there is a workable, realistic, ongoing plan in place to get me back to being able to hike and cycle like I used to. Kudos to Dr. Wong, Dr. Wasserman, Darryl Finnerty, Carla Reimer and all the friendly staff at Group 23. Christina Calder2024-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a patient of doctors (ortho surgeon) through Group23 for over 5 years. I have noticed there was always a delay on appointments, but what medical care facility does not run behind sometimes? However, the phenomenal level of care I have received from all the staff from this facility makes up for it entirely. It will be a very sad day when I am no longer requiring services here.
