We can do virtual doctor visits via telephone. When you book your appointment, make sure you know if it is in-person or by phone. If it is by phone, please ensure you are in a quiet private place to receive the call.

If you have a skin condition, a photograph is often helpful. You can send a photo to our email address office@dmcvictoria.ca with your doctor's name in the subject line: for example, "For Dr. Nielsen". If your problem requires a visit for examination, biopsy, or other procedure, then we will advise you and set up an in-person appointment.

By choosing to send photos by email, you must recognize that your security and privacy may be at risk. When communicating by email or telephone, you have to ensure your own privacy in the place from which you are calling or writing...for example, can someone in the same room or house hear or see what you are saying or writing? Be aware that email messages can be accidentally sent to the wrong person. E-mails could be read on your device or computer workstation if these are shared with other people. In using these methods of communications, we assume that you are aware of these risks and accept them.
