Dear patients & friends,

The clinic will be closed from March 14 to March 29 for spring break holiday. I will return to the office on March 30, and all messages will be returned then.

Dr. Steyl will be working on the hospitalist service while I'm gone. If you have any urgent needs, please visit the Williams Lake Urgent & Primary Care Centre at 47 Cameron Street or go straight to the emergency department.

Thank you, and I will see you all soon.

Dear patients & friends,

It's getting to be that time of year again! Just a couple of updates.

🚗 If you are unable to make it to your scheduled appointment due to road conditions, please give me a call and let me know. As long as your reason to see the doctor doesn't require a physical examination, your appointment can be switched easily to be over the telephone. As much as a we love to see all of your faces, your safety is more important! That being said, please note that if you decide to not come to your appointment and you don't let me know, it will count as a no-show and our no-show policy is still in effect.

🎄 This year, our holiday hours will be as follows: December 12 to 24 - Reception only. December 25 to January 5 - Closed. I will post these again closer to the time.

Stay safe, everyone!

Have a good weekend!
