September Yammer...

Violet is away on Thursday, August 15, 2024:

During this time, there will NOT be anyone immediately at the desk to assist you when you come in or call.

Please have a seat and Dr. Chris will do his best to accommodate you when he is available.
* Could be up to a 30 min. wait, as he might be with a patient when you come in.

For anything that Dr. Chris is not able to deal with (i.e. extended health billings, orders, etc.), Violet will be in touch as soon as she is able to on Friday, August 16, 2024.

We apologize for any inconveniences and appreciate your patience.😊

** Please note, effective July 15, 2024, as per the BC Government: **

We are no longer allowed to use our Oxo-degradable bags AND we now must charge a fee (💲) for new paper, and re-usable, bags.

We highly recommend that you bring your own bags to your appointment, or supplement pick-up, to avoid any additional charges or having to juggle ;)

** Friday June 28/24 **

Violet has gone home sick, so there will not be anyone on the desk this afternoon.

The office will be closing at 3:15pm today.

Have a fun and safe long weekend 🇨🇦

UPCOMING OFFICE CLOSURES:

Dr. Chris Yam will be away from Wednesday, January 31 through Friday, February 2, 2024; he will be back in the office on Monday, February 5, 2024.

** We will be closed on Monday, January 22, 2024 as BC Hydro is shutting off the power for the day while they work in the area.

** We will be closed on Friday, February 2, 2024 as both Dr. De Marco and Dr. Yam are away.

We apologize for any inconveniences.

We closed at noon today due to declining conditions and to allow our staff to get home safely, which we did (was a nice, quiet, and snowy drive).

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Due to the weather, and where they live, Violet, Shelby, and Katia are unable to make it in to the office. Dr. Chris will be at the office.

Violet will be checking phone messages throughout the day, so you can leave a message and we will get back to you.

If you have an appointment for today with Dr. De Marco, then we will either need to reschedule OR we can switch it to a virtual or a phone appointment.

Sorry for any inconveniences. Enjoy your snow day, if you get one.

We have found a watch at the corner of Blair and Larchwood. Did you lose yours? Let us know the make and colour and we will happily reunite you with it.

December Newsletter!

Pay particular attention to closure dates and supplement pre-orders cut-off.

Happy Holidays 🥳

** NOTE for Friday October 20 **

Violet will NOT be in the office!

Our new assistant, Shelby, will be on the desk until 12:30pm only; therefore, there will be no one on the front desk for the afternoon.
​
If you are coming into the office, then Dr. Chris or Dr. Katia will assist you when they are not busy with patients (you may have to wait).
If you are calling in, then please leave a message and Violet will get back to you on Monday.
Emails MAY be answered by Dr. Chris if he has time; otherwise, we'll get back to you on Monday.

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience :)

Please either leave a message or have a seat and Dr. Chris will help you as soon as he is able to.
There may be a long waiting period as he may be with a patient when you come in.
