Review from Anita H.
North Vancouver, BC
3/14/2012 1 Check-in Here
I recently injured my lower back and I needed to go to a clinic. Since the Lynn Valley clinic and this clinic were the only ones I know in North Vancouver, I decided to come to this clinic because it was close. I've been to Lions Gate Hospital for an emergency once, but I find that you can be there waiting for HOURS.
After walking in, the nurses greeted me and took down my information. After that I sat in the waiting area. The waiting area is long and narrow and in decent condition. Not much you can say about it since, as a patient, you are in and out, not there lounging.
After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the doctor was ready to see me.
This clinic can be busy at times but I've never had a problem. We'll see. -

There aren't a lot of options on the shore in terms of walk-in clinics, but I figured I'd write a review to let people know what they're getting into instead of detouring them from going at all. I mean I still go here and I'm only giving it 2 stars.
In all honesty, I would give it 1 if it weren't for the fact that there are actually 1 or 2 doctors there that I really like.
The Clinic itself can get pretty busy and waiting an hour is common. Though if you do go at the right time, you can be in and out in no time. It's an old building that could absolutely use some updating. These things on their own do not warrant a 3 star loss.
What does, is the horrible nurses. I'm not actually even sure if any of them are nurses or if they are just all admin. It's hard to tell and they don't do any medical exams or even take notes on what you're there for. They simply check you in, call your name, and escort you to the office. Which to be frank, I'm grateful for. I'm pretty sure that you have to have a bad attitude to even get a job there. They treat the patients like we are all scum, forcing them to take a job there. They rarely even make eye contact with you when you come in. I can get into the door and out without ANY of them looking my in the eye once. This includes talking to them, changing addresses, asking a question about when a doctor is usually on duty. I realize they are a busy clinic. But you can be busy and still find time to smile at the patients. I'm not an overly chatty person. I don't want to engage with them beyond the check in anyway. But I wouldn't mind if they smiled and maybe didn't come across like I just ruined their day simply by walking in the door.
