Videoconferencing with your doctor, since early 2017.
Since early 2017 we are offering a new type of virtual appointment that uses the internet to connect you with your doctor. The videoconference is done securely using a certified provider to ensure the confidentiality of your appointment.
One of the major benefits to the patient is the option to consult with the family physician from afar; especially for patients with reduced mobility that need to be followed up regularly.
This type of visit focuses on ONE specific concern that can be addressed without the need for a physical examination.
Examples of visits that are suitable for this type of appointment are: medication renewals (excluding sedatives and narcotics), follow up on medical concerns, review of specialist reports, exams or tests.
Specifics
Your request for a videoconference appointment must be approved by the clinic. During the conference, your doctor may still request that you come to the clinic for a physical examination.
For medication renewal (if applicable): Ensure you have your blood work done at least 2 days before the visit.
For mental health concerns.
Please make sure you read the Videoconference Informed Consent
