Virtual Kids Naturopathic
​ "Walk- Ins"

​What is a "Virtual Visit"?

​ A Virtual Kids visit is a 15 minute, complaint focused, ONLINE visit with our Naturopathic Doctors who have a focus on children's health. These visits are designed for acute complaints only. For an initial, comprehensive assessment of a chronic condition, please book at Hillcrest Centre for Health. These appointments are "single concern" visits which means they do not go in depth on illness.
