Important update related to COVID19 (March 18, 2020)

Dear Patients,

The current COVID19 situation is fluid and evolving.  The office is closed.  All non-urgent surgeries are postponed. If you are schedule for surgery at the hospital or Briarwood, we will contact you with more information.

We are setting up telemedicine.  This will allow us to provide follow-up and some consultation care.  We will reach out to those people that have appointments to arrange this.  If you are scheduled and haven’t heard from us the week prior to your appointment, please contact us by email.

For the time being, phone messages are being checked and email enquiries will be responded to: info@drshortt.com  I apologize, our response time will be slower than usual.

If you have recently had surgery we will contact you to make suitable followup arrangements.  If you have a concern please contact us by email: info@drshortt.com

If you have an emergency issue, please go to the EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT at your nearest hospital. 

Thanks for your understanding.  Please take care and be well.

Sincerely,
Rodger Shortt
