Your safety is our #1 priority. As we enter Stage 3 of the pandemic, we are still requesting all staff, visitors & patients to wear a face covering at our facility

As the Face Mask bylaw has been lifted as of July 1st, 2021, our healthcare team has spent much time reviewing the current environment. Seeing that COVID-19 Variants are still prevalent and the unknowns are still unknowns, our physicians and staff feel it is in the best interest of our patients and health care providers to maintain wearing a face covering.

In a healthcare setting you are also exposed to other people who are likely sick with an illness, and the last thing we want to do is cause further illnesses in the community. We want to help to be a part of the solution as our community continues to get vaccinated. We will continue to review this policy on an ongoing basis and we will be providing further updates to you soon.

We continue to ask for you to:

✅ Wear a face covering before entering our facility & throughout your time inside our facility (waiting room, treatment room, washroom, etc)
✅ Continuously wash & sanitize your hands
✅ Attend your appointment alone (if possible) and as close to your appointment time as possible

We thank you for your continued support!
