You get your teeth checked. When did anyone last check this?
A free one-hour mental health checkup with an Alberta physician, no diagnosis, no crisis, no referral required.
Reasons people book a checkup.
You do not need a problem to justify an appointment.
What a first appointment actually looks like
A full one-hour video visit with an Alberta physician. They ask about what's been happening, how long it's been going on, and what you've already tried. Nothing is decided without you, and follow-up appointments are unlimited.
- A full hour with your physician, not a 5-minute triage call
- Plain-language explanation of what's driving your symptoms
- A written care plan you leave the appointment with
- Internal referral to our psychiatrists or counsellors if you need it
- Unlimited follow-up appointments, you're never left alone with a plan
You will never be handed a prescription you didn't ask for.
Medication is one option among several, alongside therapy, CBT, sleep and lifestyle work, or simply monitoring for now. Your physician explains the trade-offs and you decide together. Plenty of our patients never start medication at all.
If you do choose it, you get unlimited follow-up appointments to adjust or stop, not a prescription and silence.
One hour, and a straight answer about where you stand.
A checkup screens across mood, anxiety, sleep, attention, substance use, and stress, the full 19 clinical categories, so anything worth addressing surfaces early, while it's small.

Same appointmentQuestions about the checkup
Book free appointmentThat's a good outcome and a useful one, you'll have a baseline and a clinician who knows your history if things change. Nothing is invented to justify the appointment.
It's a physician appointment, so a clinical record exists, protected under PIPEDA and Alberta's Health Information Act. It isn't shared with employers, insurers, or family without your explicit consent.
Physician assessment and every follow-up appointment are billed to AHCIP, no cost to you, no credit card at booking, no cap on visits. Optional non-physician services such as counselling are quoted transparently before you commit.
No. You book directly. If your plan calls for a psychiatrist, our physicians refer you internally to our own psychiatry team, so there's no external waitlist to join.
