1 Dr. Ashley Kowalski, BSc., Naturopathic Doctor (ND) 1419 Carling Ave. Suite 209, Ottawa, ON, K1Z 7L6 613.761.1600 - info@hamptonwellnesscentre.com ** Please be advised we have a scent-free policy ** New Patient Instructions and Appointments: Welcome. This form is a little lengthy but it's purpose is to help us get the best use of our time together. Naturopathic medicine is the treatment and prevention of diseases by natural means. A naturopathic intake assesses the whole person, taking into consideration physical, mental/emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual. A number of different approaches are used: Diet and nutritional supplements, botanical medicine, homeopathy, biotherapeutic drainage, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, injection therapies, allergy desensitization, and lifestyle counseling. What to bring to your initial visit: All lab/blood work that has been done within the last year and any supplements that you are currently taking. Appointment questions: Should be directed to the front desk. They will gladly reschedule or book your appointments. Please be organized: Please arrive 10 minutes before every appointment. If you are late, understand that you may not get the full allotted time for your appointment. We understand that sometimes situations arise beyond your control i.e. snow storms, freezing rain, emergencies, etc. and in those circumstances; every effort will be made to accommodate you. Please bring in all the necessary paperwork to hand in. If you require photocopying of your records or test results, there will be an additional charge of $0.25 per copy. Cancellations: Should be made at least 24 hrs in advance (but earlier would be appreciated). A 24-hour cancellation policy is in effect for all appointments. You can either call the office, or email. To avoid a full visit charge, please notify the office 24-hours before all scheduled appointments. This is to ensure fairness to both the physician and patients. This allows us to notify patients that may be on a waiting list. Scent Free Policy: In order to provide a healthy place of work and care, we have a strict fragrance free policy. Please ensure that you are not wearing perfume or any strong scents (deodorant, perfume, body wash). Some patients are extremely allergic to scents, and can have immediate anaphylactic reactions, therefore this policy must be respected or your appointment can be forfeited. Return Policy for Supplements: 30 days refund on undamaged, unopened products with original sales receipt. Returns without the original sales receipt will be issued an account credit. Final sale on any refrigerated or custom-made items. (ie: Herbal Mix, Pollenguard, Probiotics) Email: While email is a convenient way to communicate with the office, please be aware that responding to emails does take time and expertise. Any emails can be directed through the front desk to info@hamptonwellnesscentre.com. We try to accommodate questions regarding treatment clarification at no charge. However, email responses are prioritized for emergencies. Contact us if you have a reasonable quick/simple question about a supplement, diagnostic test, or a therapy reaction. Anything the doctor deems in depth will require another appointment. Any discussion of new treatment options or symptoms requires you to schedule a follow up consultation. All doctors are bound by patient confidentiality and privacy laws and unable to provide any information that requires access to your patient chart over email. If you have any questions or concerns that have not been addressed, please book in a scheduled consultation. I look forward to meeting you!
