What to Expect

Covid Protocols

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

Before your visit:

We ask that all patients complete a COVID Screening Questionnaire which is sent digitally to your email, 24 hours prior to your appointment time. Check your email! If you answer “yes” to any of the questions, please call the clinic before your appointment for further instructions to reschedule or change the appointment to a video call.

Before the First Appointment

Fill in the Health Intake Form available through Online Booking, which gets emailed back to the office once complete. If you have a paper copy, fill it in and bring it to the first appointment. Due to Covid-19, we can no longer allow for in office paperwork.

The First Naturopathic Appointment (60-70 minutes)

What to Bring

Copies of any recent lab work or tests (blood work, X-rays, ultrasounds, etc.)
Lists of any medications and supplements you are currently taking, and
Completed intake form (if you picked up a paper copy).

A detailed discussion about your medical history and your current health concerns
Clarification around your health goals and the variety of approaches we can take to help
A initial treatment plan with room for amendments on your first Follow-up visit. *(Complicated cases may require more information gathering or extended consults prior to creation of initial treatment plan)*

Follow-up Naturopathic appointments (30-45 minutes)

What to Expect:
