We are happy to review your results at anytime, please make an appointment to review. You can also access your results from Interior Health and Valley Medical labs yourself. Please sign up to their portals from the resource section, or call them to sign up. You can use our portal to book a follow up appointment 24/7.
Can I get my prescriptions without an appointment?
No, we prescribe medications for the duration of time required before reassessment. If your prescription is running out then this is a reminder to call our office to make an appointment to reassess how you are doing, and what, if any, changes we need to make. We are sometimes able to decrease or even stop medications, and are happy to discuss this with you when we see you for a scheduled visit. All prescriptions require an appointment.
