Hi Everyone!
So, yester the Alberta government announced a set of new restrictions due to the recent surge in Covid-19 cases. You can find the restrictions here.
As a regulated health profession, Naturopathic Doctors are permitted to remain open without any additional restrictions at this time. In a very nice surprise, Naturopathic Doctors are mentioned explicitly as being permitted to remain open.
As such, I will be remaining open. If I do become exposed to Covid 19, I will be following guidelines and testing and quarantining as needed. If so I may need to cancel appointments suddenly. I do apologize for this if it does occur. If I am in quarantine, all visits will proceed at their normal time through telemedicine, if only for a brief check in.
Anyone who does wish to proceed via telemedicine can absolutely do so. If you wish to do so, email me, or telephone Rebecca at 403-276-8800 to do so.
I encourage any patient experiencing any kind of symptoms of infections to fill out the Covid Self Assessment. As always, anyone experiencing these symptoms cannot come into for an in person visit. If this occurs, I would encourage you to inform us as soon as possible and call 8-1-1. I will help you in whatever way possible via telemedicine as appropriate.
Any cancellation fees for those needing to cancel due to covid or other infectious symptoms will be waived.
And as always, I made a commitment to never refuse treatment to anyone who could not pay. If your financial status has changed, please do talk to me, and we will come to an arrangement.
Much love to everyone.
We will get through this.
Dr. Paul.
