Infectious Disease

Infectious disease/potential infectious disease will only be seen at the end of the day as we regularly see infants and young children earlier in the day.  This allows us to protect our vulnerable patients from exposure to infectious diseases that may not be serious for healthy individuals, but for the very young, elderly, and immunocompromised may be debilitating or even fatal. 

If you believe you may have acute COVID-19 infection (eg. positive test, confirmed exposure to a person who has recently tested positive for COVID-19 infection), we request that you do NOT come into our office but rather book a video appointment instead, or to go to a COVID-19 assessment centre or emergency department if you have severe symptoms that require an in-person assessment.  The same recommendations would apply for other viral illnesses such as influenza and RSV.  We all still need to do our best to avoid bringing infectious disease into doctors offices and other locations that address the needs of vulnerable individuals.
