Please note that as a naturopathic doctor licensed in the province of British Columbia, I can only treat patients who are either residents of British Columbia or the Yukon, or who are able to travel to BC to consult with me in-person. My regulatory College does not accept telemedicine appointments as an alternative to in-person appointments for patients outside of BC and the Yukon.
As I serve immune-compromised patients I require masks to be worn during in-person consultations. If you are unable to wear a mask, please contact the clinic to inquire about other possible arrangements.
