Omineca Medical Clinic
We have unlocked our clinic doors but still require patients to wear a medical mask upon entering the building. Masks are still required in all health care settings for your safety and the safety of others. If you have COVID-like symptoms, please call us first or ring the doorbell to discuss alternative options to in-person office visits.
Virtual Care Appointments - Using Zoom
Many of our Providers are now routinely offering the option of virtual care appointments using a medically secure version of Zoom. Zoom is a cloud-based internet platform that allows people to connect through video and audio conferencing. Zoom virtual care appointments are a great option for medical issues that do not require an in-person office visit. If your Provider feels that you need an in-person follow up, we will assist you in scheduling an office appointment.
To book a Zoom appointment you must contact our office at (250) 567-2201. These appointments must be booked in advance. Please check out our virtual care webpage for further details.
Medications
To avoid running out of your regular medications and interrupting your treatment, we ask for your cooperation in keeping track of your prescriptions.
- Please book an office appointment 6 – 8 weeks before you need to renew your prescriptions.
- Keep track on the calendar when the Pharmacist tells you the status of your refills.
Plan ahead for holidays – check with the Pharmacist for the availability of refills and book an office appointment if necessary.
