Telemedicine

Telemedicine

We offer telemedicine by both video and phone consultations.

New and returning patients can still expect the very best care.  Our video consultations are fun and warm and you get to consult with your doctor from the comfort of your couch and favorite homemade tea blend.  Of course we will miss seeing you in person though!

There are so many benefits to telemedicine that we want to make available to you:

No transportation time or costs – Who loves to sit in traffic and spend money on gas rather than put towards their holiday fund?  “Not I” said the duck!  I’d much rather use my time to enjoy story time with the kids!

No need to take time off work – you can schedule your visit during a break or just before or after work.  If your doctor is running behind, you can multitask while waiting in the virtual ‘waiting room’….no more outdated magazines!

Eliminate child or elder care issues – finding care can be difficult and expensive.  Bringing them along can be stressful or impractical. 

Less chance of catching or spreading a new illness – this is especially important to us right now.

No more White Coat Syndrome – sometimes going to the doctor can be intimidating and anxiety provoking.  When you can see the doctor on your own time and in your own space, this can help sooth your nerves and help you convey the necessary information to your doctor clearly.

Offers simple, on-demand care – The improved timeliness of care allows patients to address healthcare issues quickly with real-time urgent care consultations to learn about treatment options.  When you feel ill or urgency to see your naturopathic doctor, your schedule is much more open if we consider you can to this during work hours or at home while looking after the kids or mother-in-law.

Better health – when you are able to see your doctor as often as you need to, without the challenges of getting into the office, you can practice better management of your medications, supplements/remedies, lifestyle and any healthy issues that you have.

As a health care provider, it is very important to us to continue regular care to keep on track with your health, to change the treatment plan as needed, answer any questions you have, and to support you in your goal of optimal health.  Telemedicine can make this much easier to do this. 

We look forward to seeing you online!
