What to Expect

Covid Protocols

Please review our Covid-19 Safety Protocols before entering all clinic locations.

Before the First Appointment

Fill in the Health Intake Form available through Online Booking, which gets emailed back to the office once complete. For the sake of the environment, we encourage you to fill out your paperwork online. If you are challenged however, we will accept a paper copy, which must be filled out well prior to your appointment time. Please ensure that these are completed, so that you are ready for your visit starting promptly at your assigned appointment time.

The First Naturopathic Appointment (60-75 minutes)

What to Bring

Copies of any recent lab work or tests (blood work, X-rays, ultrasounds, etc.) *You can pull these documents from your My E-Health portal (Lifelabs.com)-it is your responsibility to ensure you have this account set up. Due to privacy issues, we cannot access your health information directly.*

Follow-up Naturopathic appointments (30-45 minutes)

What to Expect:
