ONLINE BOOKING
Do I need a Referral?
Although we always appreciate referrals, you do not need one for any of our services. However, when you book your appointment, you will be asked if someone referred you to a specific doctor.
Do students and seniors get a special rate?
Yes, you do, excluding Massage Therapy. Please call the office for rates.
Do You Direct Bill 3rd Party Insurance?
Yes, we are able to direct bill most insurance providers. If your plan does not have this feature we will provide you the necessary receipts to self submit. Alberta Healthcare does not cover chiropractic, massage or naturopathic visits.
Motor Vehicle Accident?
Beyond the injuries sustained, motor vehicle accidents can often be overwhelming for an individual and our team understands this. We will work to care for and guide you through the process. Please simply provide us with your claims adjuster’s name and phone number on your first visit and we will take care of setting up your direct billing and care.
What should I Expect on my First Visit?
When you arrive, the receptionist will greet you. Please let them know your first and last name and which doctor you are there to see. If you have not yet completed the paperwork, you will first have to complete this before the doctor can see you. It is a good idea to wear comfortable clothes and shoes for your visit to the chiropractor.
How long will appointments take?
Initial consultations with our chiropractors are approximately 30-45 minutes. Follow-up visits can vary but are typically 15 minutes. Initial consultations with our naturopathic doctor are 105 minutes (or one hour and forty-five minutes). Follow-up visits can vary but are typically 30 minutes. Initial consultations with our massage therapists require a minimum of 45 minutes. Follow-up massages vary and can be 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes.
How to get to our office?
We are located on the 3rd floor of Stephen Avenue Place (formerly Scotia Centre). We are right on the LRT line and easily accessible through the +15 system. You can access Stephen Avenue Place from the corner of 7th Avenue and 2nd Street SW or 8th Avenue. Street parking is available, or the closest parkade is Bow Parkade (access from 6th Avenue between 1st and 2nd St.).
How often will I need to visit?
Your practitioner will discuss a schedule of care, which will depend on your specific circumstances. We encourage our patients to have regular follow-up visits to maintain the progress they have made over time. Naturopathic appointments are scheduled on an individual basis but generally include a monthly and/or yearly “check-up.”
