Safety First: Hygiene Practices<\/h4>
What about Physical Distancing?<\/h4>
What do I Need To Know Before I Come?<\/h2>\n\n
Pre-Screening<\/h4>\nIn compliance with recommendations from Ontario Public Health, every patient will complete a mandatory COVID-19 pre-screening questionnaire. Within 24 hours of your appointment, you will receive an email requesting you to complete the survey electronically. This will help to identify at-risk persons and direct them for proper testing. Most of all, this will help reduce the risk of exposure when you come to visit us for an appointment. Likewise, all our staff members will conduct a daily self-screening to determine if they are fit to come to work at our clinic.\n
Spacing Apart Appointments<\/h4>\nOnline booking<\/a> has resumed and is available for your convenience. In our scheduling, we have built in additional time to disinfect and clean surfaces between appointments. This may result in less appointment slot available. \n
New Schedule<\/h4>\nDr. Kevin Ho's schedule has changed. Besides Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, he will now be available for appointments on Saturdays from 10am to 2pm!<\/strong> Dr. Gayamali will now have office hours on Tuesdays & Wednesdays from 2pm-7pm.\n
Should I Bring my own Mask?<\/h4>\nYou do not need to bring your own mask to an appointment. We will provide you a new single-use procedure mask to wear for the duration of your appointment. Upon leaving the clinic, you may discard the mask that was provided to you. A reusable, homemade mask should not be used during the appointment since your face may touch surfaces such as the treatment table. \n
Do not Arrive too Early<\/h4>\nIf you happen to arrive early for your appointment, please avoid sitting in the waiting room but consider waiting downstairs in the lobby or enjoy the weather outside to help reduce crowding in the waiting area. \n
Attend Appointments Alone<\/h4>\nLastly, please do not bring your spouse or a companion with you to your appointment unless you need assistance with getting to the clinic safely. Also, parents or guardians can attend appointments with your children. \n\n\nBook Appointment Now\n<\/a>\n
What has Changed at the Clinic?<\/h2>\n\n
Waiting Room<\/h4>\nWhen you return to the clinic for the first time, you'll notice it'll look a little different. We've reduced the number of chairs in the waiting area for physical distancing. We've removed fabric chairs and replaced them with chairs that can be easily disinfected. We've also reduced decorative and excessive furnishings. Hand Sanitizer will be available for your safety. \n
Treatment Rooms<\/h4>\nWe've installed acrylic \/ plastic barriers at the reception desk and in the treatment rooms where appropriate for additional protection for you and our team. \n
What Can I Expect during my Appointment?<\/h2>\n\n
Safety First: Hygiene Practices<\/h4>\nPrior to each in-person appointment, our staff will follow hygiene protocols including hand washing or hand sanitizing. Our staff will also disinfect and clean chairs, treatment tables and any high touch areas before each appointment. \n\nFor the duration of your appointment our staff will don new & unused, personal protective equipment (PPE) including face mask, eye protection and gloves. \n
What about Physical Distancing?<\/h4>\nWe will maintain physical distancing for as long as possible during the consultation portion of the appointments. During treatment, it will not be possible to maintain physical distancing but our staff will avoid contact with their face. \n\nIf you have any questions about these recent changes, please do not hesitate to contact us by email<\/a> or call at 647-931-8108. We look forward to seeing you very soon. \n\n\nBook Appointment Now\n<\/a>\n\nWritten By: Dr. Kevin Ho, RN, DC, Dipl.
