A great summary with current updates about COVID 19 testing and isolation recommendations. If you are having trouble getting through to the call centre, you can also book a phone appointment through our office and we can refer you for testing.

Our online booking system is now up and running! Please go to highland.cortico.ca to book an appointment or check it out! Some appointments will still need to be booked by phone. Refer to the site for more details! As well, as we enter phase '2' of BC's reopening, we know that physical distancing is still the best way to maintain a low level of COVID 19 activity. We will still be operating at our full hours, but will continue to do phone appointments as much as possible, to keep everyone safe. In person appointments will still be used as necessary. We are continuing to update our office space and practices to allow for as much physical distancing as possible.

During the pandemic we are open with our full schedule and hours. We ask that you book a telephone appointment for any concerns. We will then decide if a telephone appointment is all that is needed, or whether more is needed.
