Clinic Reopening

Markham Chiropractic + Rehab will reopening on Monday, June 1, 2020.

The Ministry of Health announced on May 26th, after approximately 2 ½ months in which health professionals were limited to providing urgent/emergency and telehealth services only to patients, it has amended Directive #2 to allow for “all deferred and non-essential and elective services carried out by Health Care Providers” to be gradually restarted, subject to a number of requirements contained in the amended Directive.

In other words, Ontario chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists can, under certain conditions, start the process of getting back to our work and our driving passion – providing the highest quality care for all our patients!

How we are keeping patients safe during COVID:

WE ARE SCREENING all patients to ensure they have not been sick and have not knowingly been in contact with anyone who has been sick in the last 14 days. Visit Ontario Ministry of Health COVID-19 Screening for more information.

If you have any of these symptoms, please SELF-ISOLATE and call 905-554-2118 to reschedule your appointment

WE WILL CONTINUE TO SANITIZE AND DISINFECT all tables and equipment and washing our hands between each patient.

ALL STAFF will be required to wear face masks

ALL PATIENTS are REQUIRED to wear a non-medical face mask or facial covering during their appointment 

WE ARE REDUCING POTENTIAL CONTACT by:
– requiring all patients to use hand sanitizer upon entry
– making sanitizer available in all rooms
– educating our patients through signage of new policies regarding how we are keeping you safe during COVID-19
– allowing only patients who have an appointment to enter the clinic
– removing all magazines from the waiting area
– re-organizing and removing waiting room chairs to maintain physical
distancing
– sanitizing debit card machine after each use
– having patients use a Q-tip used to enter their PIN# for any debit card payments
– sanitizing all pens used by patients when completing intake forms
– maintaining an infection control and cleaning daily log to hold all staff and health care providers accountable for ensuring proper cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting has taken place after each patient visit

WE ARE REDUCING OUR PATIENT VOLUME to safely space out appointment times and allow extra time to sanitize and disinfect the rooms, tables and equipment.

ONE-on-ONE appointments with health care providers in closed room (no-open gym) which will maintain physical distancing from other patients. In addition, any additional therapies (if required) will be provided in a separate room, one patient at a time in order to maintain physical distancing from other patients.

TO BETTER PRACTICE PHYSICAL DISTANCING, only patients will be permitted in the office.  Accompanying visitors are asked to wait outside of the office during your appointment.

PLEASE ARRIVE ON-TIME* FOR YOUR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT as this appointment time is set aside for you. We are staggering all patient appointments in order to control the number of patients within the clinic at any given moment and to ensure physical distancing is maintained at all times.

* In the event that you are running late for your appointment, please CALL the office at 905-554-2118 to see if our health care provider can still see you. If we are not able to accommodate you, the appointment will be rescheduled.

CLINIC DOOR WILL REMAIN CLOSED (and will no longer be left opened) so please come on in for your scheduled appointment.

We will continue to adhere to any guidance and/or restrictions in place as recommended by the government and the respective health care colleges of all of our health care providers in order to keep our patients, staff and their families safe and healthy.

During this unprecedented time, we ask for your cooperation, understanding and patience as we are all working together to continue to remain connected, even if we are having to do it at a distance.

We look forward to serving you in the near future!

We file your insurance for you!

One of the most frequently asked questions from new patients is, “Can your office direct bill with my insurance?”  The answer is, YES!  Unlike offices where the patients have to pay for the services and then get reimbursed by the insurance, our office will file directly with your insurance.

As a result:

  • You pay less.
  • You don’t have to fill out confusing forms.
  • You won’t have anything to mail to your insurance company.
  • You don’t have to wait to get reimbursed.

Insurance companies we can file:

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan
  • Desjardins Insurance
  • Great West Life Assurance Company
  • Green Shield
  • Industrial Alliance
  • Johnson Inc
  • Manulife Financial
  • Maximum Benefit or Johnston Group
  • Standard Life Assurance Company
  • Sun Life Financial

Although rare, there are some insurance plans that will not allow offices to direct bill – our office will help you determine if your insurance permits direct billing.

If you have any question, give our office a call at 905-554-2118

What Sets Us Apart

We know that there are many Markham Chiropractors you can choose from and we want to  give you reasons on why you should choose our office and what sets us apart from other offices.

We treat our patients with utmost care and respect.  Markham Chiropractic + Rehab provide a variety of health care treatments that are comfortable, safe, and effective. One of the benefits of understanding your spinal health conditions is that you become an empowered patient and can have a greater role in deciding treatment options that are right for you.

1.  Dr. Ng personally handles all patient care – from the initial consult and examination to subsequent treatments – at Markham Chiropractic + Rehab so you can rest assure that you will receive personalized care tailored to your condition.

2. We value your time.  We strive for a no wait policy for the initial and subsequent visits at Markham Chiropractic + Rehab  which means that once you fill out your paperwork or arrive to our office, you will be seen by Dr. Ng.

  • Initial visit ranges from 30-45 minutes.
  • Subsequent visits ranges from 15-30 minutes.

3.  We DO NOT charge extra for therapies at our office but rather, our Chiropractic subsequent fee rate of $45 includes muscle stimulation, intersegmental traction, soft tissue work or rehabilitation exercises in addition to an adjustment/manipulation.

  • Muscle stimulation is a rehabilitation machine used to help reduce pain, inflammation and muscle tightness.
  • Intersegmental traction  is a “roller massage” table that you lay on.  It has rollers that gently go up and down your spine to help restore motion in the spine and provide relaxation.
  • Dr. Ng uses manual adjustments/manipulations (Diversified Technique) delivered by the hands to the spine to help return the subluxated (misaligned) vertebrae to as normal position as possible.  Dr. Ng does a thorough consultation and examination to ensure the safety of all treatments prescribed and before any treatments begin, Dr. Ng will provide you with a report of findings to discuss treatment recommendations and whether he can help you.  If he is not able to help you, he will refer you to another health care practitioner who can help you.

4. Our office will call to verify your benefits and file the claims for you.  As a Telus Health provider, we can file your claims electronically and receive assignment of benefit (payment) directly to our office which means less out-of-pocket expense and paperwork for you!

  • For example: if your insurance company covers 80% for chiropractic care, that means you would be responsible for 20%.
  • Initial visit: $75 x 80% (insurance covers $60) = $15 is your out-of-pocket costs
  • Subsequent visit: $40 x $80% (insurance covers $32) = $8 is your out-of-pocket costs

5. We LOVE what we do and we truly believe we have the best job in the world because we have experienced first-hand being in the Chiropractic profession 5+ years the reward of being able to change people’s lives with Chiropractic and Acupuncture.

  • It doesn’t matter what we say about our office – it’s what other people say that matters.  Click here to see what our patients have to say.
