Focus on the Primary Concern
For each visit, please try to focus on your primary concern or problem. We do not
want patients to rush us. We do not recommend saving up multiple problems for a
single visit because you may run out of time. You may be asked to book a separate
appointment to spend the appropriate amount of time on your concerns.
Patient Behaviour Policy
Rude or aggressive behaviour towards any staff member will not be tolerated under
any circumstances. Patients who behave in this manner will be asked to leave the
office immediately. If you encounter any problems associated with your visit, please
contact our clinic manager in writing.
Out of Province Canadian Residents
We provide services for patients from other provinces. We do not have the ability to
verify the validity of your provincial insurance plan in a timely manner. We request
that a $50 deposit be made for each appointment. Please contact the clinic in 14
business days to request a refund of your deposit, if applicable. If your provincial
insurance plan is invalid, we will show you the documentation and you may forfeit
your deposit.

all the medical services are covered by your provincial insurance, especially if they
