What we're doing to keep you safe:
In order to promote physical distancing, we are spacing appointment times to limit the number of patients in the clinic at one time. We have also rearranged our seating areas to ensure adequate distancing and barriers when possible.
Our cleaning procedures will remain rigorous, with all high-contact surfaces disinfected regularly and any items that come into contact with patients being cleaned and disinfected after each use.
Video consults
For existing patients, often we can complete the goals of your appointment in a video conference.
What is a video consult like?
Your appointment will be similar to that of an in-office appointment, with any written instructions to be emailed to you afterward.
Important note:
There are some cases in which a physical assessment is required before treatment can be given. If I determine that a physical exam is required, I will discuss it with you in your visit and we will make a plan.
How do I book?
Booking for video consults is the same as a regular appointment; you are able to book via phone, email, or online. Some appointment types are currently unavailable for online booking.
Jane App (our booking website) has a telemedicine feature that we are using for video conferencing. This service currently works well on computer/laptop as well as most phones. You will have the option to opt out of video, as well as blur the background for your privacy. If video is not possible for you, please email contact reception staff and request a phone call.
When you book a video consult, please review this guide to ensure you are ready to go before your appointment time:
