VeraVita Naturopathic Clinic operates primarily by appointment to ensure every patient receives our full attention. We occasionally accommodate same-day appointments based on availability, so we encourage you to call us if you need to be seen urgently. Walk-ins cannot be guaranteed.

Your initial consultation is a thorough 60–90 minute session. Your naturopathic doctor will take a detailed health history, review your current symptoms, lifestyle, diet, and any previous test results. From there, a personalised treatment plan is developed. Please bring a list of current medications and supplements, any recent lab work, and your provincial health card.

We require a minimum of 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, as well as no-show appointments, will incur a 50% cancellation fee, charged to the credit card on file.

No referral is required to see a naturopathic doctor at VeraVita Naturopathic Clinic. You can book directly with us. That said, sharing notes from your family physician or specialist can be valuable context for your practitioner.

Many extended health benefit plans in Alberta include coverage for naturopathic medicine visits. Coverage varies widely by plan, so we recommend contacting your benefits provider before your appointment. We provide detailed official receipts for every service to assist with reimbursement claims.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, debit, cash, and direct billing to select insurance providers. Payment is collected at the time of your appointment. For IV therapy and specialised treatments, a deposit may be required at the time of booking.

Patient safety is our top priority. All practitioners are fully licensed and registered with the appropriate regulatory bodies in Alberta. We follow strict sterilisation protocols, use single-use disposable equipment for all injections, and maintain a clean clinical environment that meets or exceeds all Alberta Health Services standards.

For non-urgent concerns after clinic hours, leave a message at (587) 585-2524 or email vnc@veravitaclinic.com and we will follow up the next business day. For urgent medical concerns, please call Health Link (811) or visit your nearest emergency room. If this is a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.
