COVID-19 Update

Patient education

This page is updated regularly and provides information to patients about clinic appointments, surgical procedures and masking expectations during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Clinic appointments

Some clinic appointments will be done over the phone, others will be in-person. Your urologist’s office will provide you with information about your appointment.

COVID-19 precautions for in-person appointments:

  • Patients are asked to bring and wear a mask for in-person clinic appointments.
  • Patients must complete COVID-19 screening at the entrance of the Rockyview Hospital prior to in-person clinic appointments and urology procedures.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and appreciate your assistance in protecting your fellow citizens.


Urgent surgeries

All urgent surgeries will continue and steps will be taken to ensure patient health and safety. These surgeries are prioritized and scheduled based on the type of surgery and operating room allocations.

If you have questions or concerns about your scheduled surgery, please call your urologist’s office during office hours.


Non-urgent and elective procedures/surgeries

  • Currently, some non-urgent procedures and surgeries are being postponed. We are following the guidelines set by the Government of Alberta and Alberta Health Services.
  • Your urologist’s office will contact you to schedule your procedure.
