Covid-19/Coronavirus: please call to cancel your appointment if you are sick. We will not charge late-notice fees for health reasons. We want to keep everyone safe, so please stay in your car if you arrive early (after letting our staff know you are here), as we only have a small waiting room. Remember to wash your hands, and stay home if you are ill. Please read the very important notice above about COVID-19, before you come. www.bccdc.ca is a reliable website for more information.
3 questions to see if you should come to your appointment; if yes, then please cancel.

- Have you or any of your close contacts travelled outside of Canada including the USA in the last 14 days?
- Have you knowingly been in contact with anyone who has COVID-19 or is being investigated for this?
- If you have any respiratory symptoms (colds, coughs, fever), cancel your appointment! No fees will be charged but we would like as much notice as possible.
- If you only need a phone or telemedicine consultation, we will be arranging this too: please ask us.
- If you are over 70 years old, you have to determine your own risk vs benefit to decide if you wish to come or not. Some provinces recommend you should stay home/self-isolate if you are over 70.
- 2 people only in the waiting room at any one time please, to observe physical distancing
- If you have accompanied anyone to their appointment, once they are in our office please wait either outside on our patio or in your car.
- If you arrive early for your appointment, check in with our front staff then wait outside or in your car until your appointment time.
- Bring a coat, gloves and hat in case you decide to wait outside.
- If you need a drink, have this in your car before you come in. Leave as many items as possible in your vehicle and bring as little as possible into the office. If you are wearing a coat or jacket, bring it into the examination room with you.
- We already wipe down all clinical surfaces in between each patient with medicated wipes.
- We will be wiping our surfaces, reception counter and our bank machine between all patients, and encourage you to use “tap” where possible on the bank machine.
- If you have been travelling outside of Canada in the last 2 weeks you will need to reschedule your appointment as you need to be self-isolating.
