Office Visit Instructions

  • We strongly request that you bring along a close family member or friend to be here with you as you undergo your consultation with the surgeon.

  • Please bring a pharmacy record of your current medications. (Do not bring your pill bottles)

  • Parking is available beneath our office building and it costs $2.00 / hour ( CASH ONLY ). Enter into the parkade from Pembroke Street (North side of the our 4 story concrete + red brick building ). Our office is wheelchair accessible.

  • Most patient’s consultations will take between 45 to 60 minutes.

  • If you are traveling with ‘Wheels for Wellness’ their phone number (250) 338 - 0196.

If you are booked for a Heart Valve Operation it is Mandatory that you see your Dentist and have any necessary dental work done BEFORE you have your Heart Operation.
If possible, please get this done BEFORE you come to see your surgeon. Typically you need 2 weeks following any dental work to fully heal your mouth before we will do your heart operation.

PLEASE BE AWARE - Due to the urgent nature of what we do some office appointments will be changed at very short notice if the surgeon is called to attend an emergency situation. We will do everything we can to rebook your visit with us A.S.A.P. (and sometimes that may be with another surgeon if they are available to see you that very same day instead.)

Before your appointment we will send some patients an email to link you to our online Plexia Patient Questionnaire.

We are located at:
