We will continue to follow the guidance of the Provincial Health Officer, B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons, WorkSafe BC and the BCCDC as we consider further re-opening plans to the clinic.

health care workers and non-clinical staff to wear medical grade masks while inside the Clinic.
Patients will be asked to wear a medical grade mask for their entire visit,
disinfect their hands upon arrival and maintain physical distancing of a minimum of 6 feet.
Phone volume has increased due to limiting traffic within the clinic and we appreciate your patience.
If you would like to book your own Telehealth visit, please ask the receptionist to register you for our Patient Portal.
