PHONE CONSULTATION

A person who is intending to become a patient can also call to ask about some points concerning our treatments or other matters.

  • A phone consultation is not a diagnostic session at all.
  • A phone consultation is not intended to discuss vital information, blood results or lab work.

NEW PATIENTS


New patients, potential patients, shopping patients and those who have a question to ask but do not want to leave their homes, may call the office and speak to the naturopath if he is free to take the call. Otherwise, a person may call the front desk at the Toronto office (416-207-0207) and book a brief telephone consultation with the naturopath. This telephone consultation is complimentary.

CONSCIOUSNESS OF TIME

This tool is handy once in the while where a patient lives far away or the patient is unable to make it to the office for examination or discussion for extenuating circumstances. The phone consultation step is a matter of clarification of diet, clarification of remedies, questions about procedure or adjustment of the above. At no time there should be a new symptoms to be discussed for treatment or a new prescription given. New symptoms must be examined and discussed at the clinic. This phone consultation is chargeable if it will exceed 5-10 minutes ($30.00 plus applicable taxes)
