Most patients come to us after the first round of care — physiotherapy, anti-inflammatories, rest — hasn't fully resolved the problem.
Wear-and-tear arthritis, old sports injuries, and post-surgical pain that hasn't settled.

Pain that won't fully resolve after six to eight weeks usually needs a different approach than first-line care. We see patients across Toronto every week with these specific patterns.
Book a Discovery CallMost pain clinics treat where it hurts. We investigate why it hurts — and build a plan around your biology, your history and your goals.
Every patient is assessed and treated by Dr. Biljana Kostovic — a Toronto pioneer in physician-led pain management, drawing on 35 years of clinical practice including emergency medicine.
Pain rarely has a single cause. We look at how the joint, muscles, prior injuries, lifestyle and overall health all contribute — so the treatment addresses the actual driver.
Standard care first when it's the right answer. In-clinic injection procedures, advanced diagnostics, and evidence-based non-surgical protocols when it isn't. You'll always know your options before deciding.
No commitment required. Three short steps from "I'm not sure what to do next" to a plan you actually understand.
Every patient deserves to know why they're in pain — not just what to take for it.
Dr. Biljana Kostovic, MD Founder · Upper Room Clinic
Dr. Kostovic brings a rare combination: the diagnostic rigour of emergency medicine training and the investigative depth of functional and pain medicine. Over 35 years of clinical practice spanning acute care, sports injury care and advanced clinical protocols — including the last 15+ years pioneering physician-led pain management in Toronto.
She founded Upper Room Clinic on a simple premise: patients deserve to know why they're suffering — not just what to take for it.
We see a high volume of active patients whose injuries have stalled — runners, recreational athletes, lifters, racquet-sport players. Plans designed for people who don't want to stop moving.
After two years of physio, cortisone and a surgery consult I wasn't ready for, I was told there was nothing more they could do. Dr. Kostovic found a root cause in our first visit. I'm back to hiking.
She actually listens. Takes notes, asks follow-up questions, looks at everything together. I left the first consult with more answers than I'd had in three years.
I'd been through so many clinics. But Dr. Kostovic's approach is completely different. She's a real MD with serious credentials, not someone selling supplements. I'm running again.

A medical practice that specializes in evaluating and treating pain — particularly pain that hasn't resolved with first-line care. Upper Room Clinic is physician-led: every assessment and treatment is overseen by Dr. Biljana Kostovic, MD.
Knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, foot, wrist and hand pain. Back and neck pain. Sciatica. Sports injuries and post-traumatic joint pain. Chronic pain that hasn't responded to physiotherapy or conservative care.
No. You can self-refer by booking a free 15-minute discovery call, or by phoning the Davisville clinic at 647-521-8024.
Some in-clinic procedures performed by a licensed Ontario physician are covered by OHIP. Other advanced treatments are private-pay and may be partially covered by extended health benefits. We provide detailed receipts for insurance submission.
A physician-led pain clinic adds medical diagnostics, advanced treatment options, prescription management when appropriate, and oversight from a licensed MD. Many of our patients have already tried physio — we're the next step.
A comprehensive assessment: medical history, prior treatments, imaging review, physical examination, and a discussion of your goals. You leave with a clear understanding of what is causing your pain.
Most patients are scheduled for their initial consultation within 1–2 weeks of booking a discovery call. Acute sports injuries are often accommodated sooner.
No. Bring any imaging or reports you already have, but recent imaging is not required to book.
Yes — we see a high volume of active patients with sports-related injuries: runners with knee or ankle pain, recreational athletes with shoulder or rotator cuff issues, gym-goers with tendon pain.
Yes, regularly. A meaningful number of patients who come to us have already received a surgical recommendation and are seeking a second opinion or more time. Depending on the joint, the severity, and what's been tried before, advanced non-surgical options can be a legitimate path — not just a delay tactic. We don't promise outcomes we can't deliver, but we also don't tell a patient surgery is inevitable before we've done a proper assessment.
Up to 30 minutes with Dr. Kostovic — focused, unhurried time. We review your medical history, prior treatments and any imaging you have, and complete a thorough physical assessment. Patients used to 10-minute GP appointments notice the difference.
Most pain specialists spend their careers in a single area of medicine. Emergency medicine is the opposite — it demands pattern recognition across every system in the body, under pressure, often with incomplete information. Dr. Kostovic trained in emergency medicine before moving into pain management and functional medicine, and that diagnostic instinct stays. Patients with chronic pain often have complex presentations where the cause isn't where the pain is. That kind of full-picture thinking is rare in pain medicine.
A free 15-minute discovery call. No commitment — just an honest conversation about what you've tried and what's next.
