How we protect your Privacy:
- The staff at this clinic treat your personal health information with respect and sensitivity in accordance with the Ontario Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (PHIPA) and all other applicable laws.
- We take steps to protect your personal health information from theft, loss and unauthorized access, copying, modification, use, disclosure and disposal.
- We take steps to ensure that our staff and any other person who performs services for us protects your privacy.
COVID-19 and Virtual Care:
- At the present time, most visits to the doctor will be conducted virtually to ensure continued care for patients that is safe and effective. This means that we will be using internet and the phone for visits rather than asking all patients to come into the office.
- Some health concerns can be addressed with virtual care alone, but in some cases you may ask you to come into the office, or visit a hospital if your condition cannot be reliably managed virtually.
- We do our best to ensure that any information you give to us during a virtual care visit is private and secure, however, there is a security risk that your health information may be intercepted or disclosed to third parties when using internet or audio communications tools. This method of communication is not secure in the same way as a private appointment in an exam room. This applies in particular to email communications. We ask that you do not provide any personal details by email should you decide to use email to send pictures.
- If you are concerned about using internet or audio technologies for virtual care, please advise the receptionist that you do not wish to proceed in this manner, and you will be seen in person. However, please note that visiting a the doctor in person comes with a higher risk of coming into contact with COVID- 19 and the possibility of spreading the virus.
