​​​​​​Our clinic is practicing all COVID-19 public health guidelines set forth by Alberta Health Services (AHS). This includes in-clinic social distancing and limiting the number of designated family/support persons who can accompany you. We also require you to wear a face mask/covering when entering our clinic. If you have any questions, please contact our clinic, or visit the AHS website to learn more about COVID-19 guidelines. 

If possible, we recommend that you stay in your vehicle until a few minutes before your appointment time to reduce time in the waiting room. If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 infection (cough, fever, shortness of breath, runny nose), please do not come to the clinic. Call and notify us prior to your appointment.
