IMPORTANT CLINIC UPDATES - AUGUST 2020 

MASKS MUST BE WORN

In order to protect all patients, staff and physicians during IN-OFFICE clinic appointments, we are requesting that ALL patients >2 years old and their support person(s) should wear a NON-MEDICAL MASK during their entire office visit - whether that is one purchased, home-made, or simply a bandana. Ideally three cloth layers is best. We thank you for your cooperation. 
 

​

IN-CLINIC APPOINTMENTS

We are now requesting ALL patients attend their scheduled appointments IN PERSON.

TELEPHONE APPOINTMENTS

If a patient is uncomfortable coming to clinic OR they are in self-isolation due to possible exposure to COVID-19 or a pending a swab result, then the appointment will be converted to a maximum 10 MINUTE telephone appointment. The Government of Alberta has mandated that $20 is all they will pay a doctor for a virtual appointment, even during a pandemic.

PRESCRIPTION REFILLS

We strongly encourage all patients to book an appointment for prescription refills. This allows the physician to ensure that it is appropriate and required for your continued medical care.

Due to the well publicized government cuts, from Monday August 3rd 2020, if a request is made for a refill on the telephone or via the pharmacy (without an appointment) this will incur a $10 fee. This fee will need to be paid upfront and does not include narcotics, benzodiazepines or ANY triplicate prescriptions. This refill is simply to bridge you to your next scheduled clinic appointment.

Please kindly allow ample time and pre-book your appointment in clinic so that you do not incur the $10 fee.

We sincerely thank you for your understanding. Stay safe.
