Book telephone or video consultations with Dr. Deidre Macdonald and Dr. Shawn Peters, NDs

Dr. Macdonald and Dr. Peters offer telephone or video consultations so you can enjoy your visit in the comfort and convenience of your home or office. Video calls are a great way to connect; almost as good as a face-to-face meeting.

For video calls, we are using the JANE platform, as it offers scheduling of appointments and is easy to use. JANE has the security features doctors need. We are very happy with the security and functionality of JANE.

As of May 11, we are open for drop in for supplement refills.

Or we offer non-contact pick up during office hours. We can also mail them directly to you (free shipping on orders over $100).

Tips for a successful experience

  • Make sure you are in a quiet and private space. Put the pets away and tell your housemates you need some quiet time.
  • Have a few things handy such as notepaper and pen as well as other things you might want to discuss like logs, labs, medicines, or supplements.
  • You can use a smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer… as long as it has a microphone, speakers and a camera.
  • To optimize your device’s function it’s wise to close unnecessary internet tabs as they use up memory.
  • We’ll be sending you a consent form for video calls… it includes some important tips too.
