COVID-19: REOPENING & NEW SAFETY PROTOCOLS
December 24th 2021 – COVID-19 Omicron Update: Due to the unprecedented growth of the COVID-19 Omicron variant, LMC – Laser Medical Clinic will be by appointment only until further notice. Our COVID-19 vaccine-boosted regulated health care professionals spend and will continue to practice careful consideration regarding which appointments may be better suited for a virtual setting and which may continue for an in-person visit, ensuring that all infection prevention and control measures are in place and there is sufficient personal protective equipment. Your safety is our priority.
For the safety of all of our staff members and clients, we will be under strict guidelines to meet all recommendations provided by Ontario’s Public Health guidance and Occupational Health and Safety. As such, we have modified our operations to meet those requirements. Please review the below prior to your next appointment.
- You’ll need to make an appointment with us before coming in for your next treatment.
- When you arrive for your appointment, you can text or call us at 647-492-7484 and we will let you know if you can enter the clinic based on the number of people currently inside.
- Cloth masks are no longer allowed. Wearing a 3-ply medical mask & using hand sanitizer while in the clinic will be mandatory. If you don’t have a medical mask or gloves, they will be provided to you at the front desk. Hand sanitizer will be made available in all treatment rooms and in our waiting area.
- You will be required to take a body temperature screening upon your arrival at the clinic. This will be performed by the treating clinician at the front office before bringing you into the treatment room. If you have a fever of 37.3 degrees Celsius or higher, a cough, or any respiratory symptoms, you will not be treated.
- You will no longer be allowed to bring anyone to the appointment with you. This includes partners, children, friends and pets.
