New Patient Portal – OCEAN (as of April 2025)

Dr. Goldade is now using a new patient communication platform called OCEAN to connect with parents and families. You will be asked for your child's name, date of birth and Alberta Health Care Number in order to access the portal.

 

You can use the OCEAN portal to:

• Send messages and secure documents to Dr. Goldade (please do not use drgoldade@gmail.com for patient communication)
• Receive secure messages directly from Dr. Goldade

If you are a teacher, school staff member, medical office, or are experiencing technical issues accessing OCEAN, you may use drgoldade@gmail.com for communication.

 

Thank you for helping us keep communication organized and secure.

Communication with Dr. Goldade

We understand how valuable timely communication is for families. To help manage this efficiently and securely, Dr. Goldade now uses the OCEAN platform for all communication with patients and families.

 

A few guidelines for communication with Dr. Goldade:

• Keep your messages brief – ideally 2–3 sentences or 1–2 question
• Discuss only one child per message. If you have questions about another child, please start a new message
• For urgent or complex concerns (especially related to mental health), please contact your Family Physician or visit The Summit for urgent care
• We are only able to address concerns related to your referral. If it has been over a year since your last visit, please ask your Family Physician for a new referral
• When sending forms, ensure all sections are completed (including the physician’s portion). A fee may apply for some forms
• Always include your child’s Full Name and Date of Birth for easy reference
• We do not respond on weekends or holidays
• Please note that conventional email is not secure. For secure and encrypted messaging, please use the OCEAN portal.

Virtual Practice
Dr. Goldade's practice has become fully virtual. We are confident that we are able to manage patients & their problems virtually in a safe, efficient & convenient manner. Our office abides by the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta Standards of Practice regarding Virtual Medicine. While the goal is to be 100% virtual, in-person appointments may be arranged if medically necessary.

What to Expect

You will be asked to confirm the virtual appointment via a service called Brightsquid about 1 week before the appointment. Via their link, you will be asked to confirm with your child's date of birth and you'll need to click the confirm button twice.

 

Please confirm your appointment as soon as possible to allow others the opportunity to use the time slot if needed.

 

Tips for your Virtual Visit:

• Log in 5 minutes early – late arrivals disrupt the schedule and may result in rescheduling
• If you can’t attend your appointment, please Contact Us or text 403-620-4204 so we can arrange a phone or video alternative
• Check Spam or Trash folders if you can’t find your Telus Health virtual visit link
• Confirm your browser is compatible with the Telus platform
• Ensure your camera and microphone are working properly
