Updating your profile

Change your email, phone numbers and address in the patient portal.

Overview

Keep your contact details up to date so your clinic can reach you and your sign-in links reach you. In the portal you can change your email, phone numbers and address. Only your clinic can change your name and date of birth.

Prerequisites

  • You are signed in to the portal.

Steps

Open Profile. Click Profile in the menu at the top. The Profile tab shows your Personal Information, including your Patient Number, Date of Birth, First Name and Last Name.

Click "Edit".

Change your Email if needed. Sign-in links go to this email, so it cannot be left blank. Check it carefully.

Change your Primary Phone if needed. It cannot be left blank. The last 6 digits of this number are what you enter when you sign in.

Change your Secondary Phone if needed. This one is optional.

Change your Address if needed. Street Address, City, State/Province and Postal Code.

Click "Save". Or click Cancel to keep your old details. Your clinic sees the new details.

Expected outcome

  • Your clinic record has your new contact details.
  • Your next sign-in link goes to your new email.
  • Next time you sign in, use the last 6 digits of your new primary phone.
