Footbridge & COVID-19 FAQs

Most x-ray facilities are currently open. In light of COVID-19, not all facilities are accepting walk ins and you may need to schedule an appointment to have your x-ray completed. To ensure this is done within the required timeframe, we encourage patients to call the x-ray clinic you plan on attending to ensure that the clinic will accommodate your request.

If you are scheduled for a TELEPHONE CONSULT the physician will likely call you from a private or blocked number so please ensure that your phone is set up to accept incoming calls.

If we have requested that you take photos of your affected area, please ensure that they have been emailed to us ahead of your appointment.

The picture files could be too large to send in one email.  Try sending one or two pictures per email.  We will attach all pictures we receive to your chart for the doctor to review.

If you are using INPUT HEALTH:  Please ensure that you are using Google Chrome browser and all other applications with camera capabilities are closed.  We recommend that you close out of the video conference, refresh your screen and try to re-open by clicking back into the link that was sent to you.

If you are using ZOOM:  Zoom will launch from any browser, but Google Chrome is recommended for the best outcome/experience.  A download is not required to use Zoom via your browser.  However, if you plan to use your phone or a tablet, the Zoom app is required.

If technical difficulties persist, the doctor may try to call you on the phone, so please have your phone handy and note that the physician may be calling you from a blocked number.

Our physicians and care team are working diligently to ensure that the needs of all patients are met during this unprecedented time.  There is a chance that the doctor may run a little late for your appointment.  If the physician is running more than 30 minutes late, our care team will reach out and notify you via telephone.

If you develop any COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath), please contact our office at 778-945-6756 and let us know prior to your appointment.

All patients who must come into the office to see the physician will receive a screening questionnaire via email 2-3 days in advance of their appointment to complete.  Upon arriving at Footbridge on the day of your appointment, you will also be screened and your temperature checked.

Footbridge has implemented a comprehensive screening strategy for all patients entering the clinic, to avoid any ill patients from visiting.  Please ensure that you have completed the screening questionnaire which was emailed to you prior to your scheduled appointment.

Upon arrival at Footbridge for your appointment, you will be asked to wash your hands and your temperature will be taken before proceeding into an examination room for your consultation with the physician.

In addition, all of our staff are strictly following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and cleaning procedures as recommended by Worksafe BC (WSBC) and Providence Health Authority.

We are currently booking most appointments via email.  If you are on our waitlist, please actively monitor your email for details pertaining to your upcoming appointment.  PLEASE NOTE:  our emails are sent through our secure portal, so the email will come from noreply@footbridgeclinic.com.

The email will provide all relevant details for your appointment, including whether it is to be in person, virtual or by telephone, if an x-ray is required and any other preparatory items to ensure that you are properly prepared to make the most of your appointment.

Elective surgeries are currently proceeding as scheduled.  When availability arises, a member of the Footbridge care team will contact you to schedule your surgery.

Once scheduled for surgery, you will receive a COVID-19 screen approximately 3-5 days before the date to ensure that you are asymptomatic and have had no COVID-19 exposure risk.  At this time, a COVID-19 test is not required prior to your scheduled surgery.
