    Waiting time was terrible. There weren't even that many people. The waiting area was a bit more spacious than others I've been to though.

    I went to this clinic with my friend for skin infection. The doctor was helpful and professional. He treated my friend with respect and care. He prescribed effective medicines as well.

    But we were in his office for half an hour. And we saw him for only 5 minutes. I don't know what took him so long to examine the document. I don't know what took him so long to get antibiotic. I don't know what took him so long to tell the nurse to bring dressing. I don't know why it took him so long to write a prescription note and test deferral document.

    The doctors are trustworthy. But be prepared to waste a lot of time at this clinic.

    First things first: yes, you will likely wait a long time to get in to see a doctor at this walk-in clinic, but without an appointment, is that such a big surprise?

    Since I don't yet have a family doctor in Toronto, I went to this walk-in clinic the week after Christmas, and while I waited about 2 hours before I was seen by a doctor, Dr. Yang took her time listening to my questions and addressing my concerns once I got in to see her.  

    If you need immediate attention, go to an emergency room.  Otherwise, go to the walk-in clinic, bring a book, and just be patient.

    I went to this walk in on Sat. I knew I had a sinus infection. The walk in dr (that I waited for almost 2 hours) spent 6 second with me and prescribed Zithromax. Agreeing that it was a sinus infection.

    Today is Wednesday. I still feel like Ass, have barely any voice, and can't really do anything but sleep. I call and beg to get in to see my family dr today. She says that ZITHROMAX DOES NOTHING FOR SINUS INFECTIONS. Come again?! You mean, I have been suffering cause the meds (that I thought were supposed to work) haven't! My family dr gave me a different antibiotic (Biaxin) and a nose spray.

    This is not the first time that this clinic has led me astray. No sirree. Last fall I went to the same clinic. Again, waited almost 2 hours and had 6 seconds with the doctor. I was told I had the flu, and was sent home to rest. I felt dramatically worse and worse the next 2 days. I was misdiagnosed with the flu, when it was H1N1!!!!

    Now in the following fall, this same clinic (2 completely different doctors I might add) gives me an antibiotic that is ineffective for sinus infections?! Wow! Here is someone who won't be a return customer!!!

    I arrived here at 8:30 AM on a Monday morning, thinking that being there early would mean I would be in and out in an hour.  Unfortunately a lot of people were up earlier than I was (the place opens at 8), so it took me 2 hours to be seen, but other than that I have no complaints.

    The doctor was friendly and professional.  Yes, he was with me for about 5 minutes, but isn't that the normal length of time for these sorts of things?

    Still a one! But if your regular doctor requests files from them, they will call you and try to get you to pay $25 or more to have your files transferred. Do NOT pay this fee!! Just have your family doctor call them. This is not something you should have to pay for, it's a scam!!

    Tonight I was in and out of this place in less time than it subsequently took the pharmacist at Shoppers Drug Mart to fill my prescription.  Amazing.

    I stumbled into this place with an open head wound from cracking my head open on cement. I found it by looking up the nearest walk-in on my phone. I haven't needed to use health care in years. I had a bleeding head, blurry vision, nausea, and a fever from the fall. The receptionist tells me my health card is invalid and they won't treat me. I ask her why and what I should do and she and her colleague start barking at me that it's not their problem. They were even too busy to give me the phone number to the ministry to straighten the situation out. I had just been traveling the week before, so I had my passport, Cdn birth certificate, and driver's license on me and offered to show her these documents, but she just kicked me out. They were rude, dismissive, and had NO compassion. It was obvious from my symptoms that it was something that needed to be attended to immediately. My husband is a firefighter who would never turn away someone with a head trauma, so I can't believe anyone in healthcare would behave this way.

    Turns out the health card was an administrative error that could have been solved had the office made the effort to call the ministry and allow me to talk with them.
