Office updates:
We are currently open with precautions in place for in person visits. We will continue to work with telemedicine as appropriate for our patient’s health goals, but in person consultations and treatments are available. Our office has implemented precautions as well as guidelines for physical distancing. As a naturopathic office we follow the guidance put out from our provincial health officer.
1) all visits will be pre-screened at the time of booking. If there are any symptoms of possible COVID-19 infection, including but not limited to fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, or exposure to a known or possible case, please inform us in advance.
2) Please be mindful of space in the reception area. We will bring patients to the appropriate room quickly to prevent crowding in the reception area.
3) Masks are now optional, as per our latest guidance from public health. If you prefer that we wear, or don’t wear (for communication ease) a mask, please do not hesitate to let us know.
When possible, telemedicine or videoconference is preferred in many situations, such as reviewing lab reports and discussing treatment options. A videoconference can allow for other tools such as screen sharing of a lab report, for example. Physical examination in the office is still done when needed.
Thank you all for your patience over these years!

Services
The Pangaea Clinic is located in the scenic Steveston Village of Richmond, BC. It is at #120 - 12011 Second Ave, with the cross road at Chatham Ave. We are 15 minutes from Vancouver, BC.
Our goal, using naturopathic health care, is to investigate for possible root cause of compromised health, intervene with a treatment plan that is a combination of natural therapies in order to enable the body to overcome obstacles to cure. In this way our patients will feel, live, and be healthier moving towards their health goals.
In order to achieve this, our health care practice is not based solely on "pathological" diagnoses of disease. Underlying causes are sought, with due weight given to functional disturbances. Laboratory testing, both conventional, as well as functional, is used.
No matter what the diagnosis or the treatment plan, our one and only goal is to have the patient overcome obstacles to cure in order to feel, live, and be healthier working towards optimal health.
