Each clinic and professional will have their own fee schedule, but there is no cost or obligation in using our referral service.
If a remote or virtual session is something you are looking for, we can accomodate that in our search. Most do provide some level of virtual appointments.
Unfortunately, not all towns and cities have the resources to meet the needs of everyone. If you are open to virtual appointments, you can work with clinics across your province.
No, we do not run the clinics. We provide referrals only to independant clinics and professionals.
