CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
Following guidelines, we are now ready to start seeing patients again. Our clinic will re-open on May 19 2020. We have been working on developing safety protocols to ensure that you, other patients and our team are protected in the best way possible.
The safety protocols we have in place are the following:
- Our clinic will be open by appointment only.
- We will initially start off with injectable therapies done by doctors and nurse injectors and then evolve into offering our full range of services. Please call to verify which service you desire and whether we are offering it at this time.
- Our team will be wearing gloves, masks and protective eyewear where appropriate.
- Cleaning protocols in the clinic will follow the guidelines set out by government agencies.
