FAQ
Become a part of our family
With a model built around patient-focused, compassionate care, we invite the input and perceptions of our patients as we continue to communicate Vancouver Clinic’s greater story. More than lip service or a desire to placate modern trends, this is a major step toward transparency and efficacy, giving patients room to express themselves, and knowing full well that we will do everything in our power to accommodate their needs and respond to their concerns.
