our commitment to
keep you safe
Your safety and well-being are our top priority.
To support physical distancing and minimize the spread of COVID-19 within health care settings, your initial free 15 mins consultation with us will be a telephone appointment. After your consultation, we will determine together with you whether your treatment appointments will also take place virtually, or if an in-person appointment is necessary.
Please see below for our health and safety procedures as we follow the directions provided by the Provincial Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH), the B.C. Ministry of Health’s guidance for the health sector, and the sector-specific workplace safety guidelines. These standards of procedures may change as the pandemic evolves.
BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENt
In-person appointments will be booked with time in between patients to help maintain physical distancing and allow for cleaning after each appointment.
Patients are asked to come alone to their appointment.
Patients have the option to wear their own mask.
PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT
If you are sick, please stay home.
Please call or email us prior to entering the clinic to be screened for any symptoms of COVID-19.
