We understand that life can get busy and that schedules or travel limitations can make it challenging to visit us in person. To ensure you receive the personalized care you need, we offer both in-person consultations and secure virtual consultations through a secured platform. Whether you choose to visit our clinic or connect with us from the comfort of your home, our goal is to provide the same exceptional standard of naturopathic and functional medicine care tailored to your individual needs.
Your health journey is our priority, and our virtual care makes it easier than ever to stay connected and supported.
If you’re having a virtual consultation, we can arrange for test kits to be shipped directly to your address or picked up at the clinic. For blood work, we’ll provide a requisition, which you can take to a local lab. Please note that blood work requisitions are not covered by OHIP.
