    Surprisingly this it he first time I've ever been to a walk-in and this experience makes me…read morequestion I want my family doctor. I was referred to here by my family doctor who wasn't available on a weekend. With a short form to fill, and no line up, I was screened with my issue. Soon after the doctor came in, and immediately knew what to give me. Seems to make sense, and straightforward, not sure why my family doctor has dismissed it as something else. It's right beside the Shoppers which is convenient for 'scripts.

    I have no axe to grind with walk-in clinics and go to them all the time, but today's experience was…read moresad--waited 2 hours and had to leave without having seen a doctor as I had to go to work. Patients arriving an hour after me were called, and I saw many walk in, fill out their clipboarded forms, see a doctor, and leave--ahead of me. When I checked with the recep, I was told I hadn't been passed over, that there were 2 doctors on duty and I might've been queued in a slower line, that my number was about to be called, etc. At least, the recep did admit she didn't know what was going on with the system and hadn't been keeping track of who came first. Initial estimate they gave me was 30 - 40 minutes. I'm sure the doctors are well-qualified and earnest there, but getting randomly ignored for 2 hours makes it hard to recommend this clinic. Especially when you're in pain, about which I'd made known to the recep.

    This review marks my 2300th. It is fitting that it's about preparing to travel to the States, which…read moreI haven't done since early March 2020. I originally booked an appointment through Specialty Rx Pharmacy for a COVID-19 antigen test. When I arrived at the pharmacy, I was directed over to Ellesmere Healthcare Centre to check in. I got Joan at reception, who was the sweetest woman. I indicated that I had an appointment at 10:45 am. She found me and asked that I fill out a short form. The last question in a series of five was a trick. Most of the questions had me answer no. The last one asked, "Are you fully vaccinated?" I checked no accidentally. Oops! We got that straightened out. You do need to provide proof that you are you. A passport or driver's licence work. I provided the latter. Done! I had already provided my health card details online, so I didn't need to flash that. It was strange, but I'm guessing that my driver's licence proof reinforced my health card information. She confirmed that I was travelling to the States. You do need to have this antigen test within 72 hours before your departure. She had to think about my situation. I said that it was more like 52 hours. We both chuckled, as she implied that math was not her strong suit. She entered my information into the system. I had added my credit card information online, but her payment system was down. We settled payment at the pharmacy, which was smooth and seamless. When she was ready, we headed over to a medical room. She let me know that I could keep my mask on, but to lower it enough for her to swab both nostrils. She used a swab with a brush tip. She swabbed and it felt like a tickle, but without my bursting out in laughter. It was oddly enjoyable. Who knew?! She let me know that it would take ten minutes for my test result. She said that I could come back in ten minutes. I indicated that I'd wait in the waiting area, which was cool with her. Sure enough, ten minutes later, she had my printed report ready. She had also sent me a digital version of it. She asked that I look over all details to make sure that everything was good. It was. I wished her a great day. She wished me a safe trip. It was such a great experience. This clinic does take patients. It doesn't take walk-in patients, but you can book an appointment to see a doctor. The clinic is clean. The pharmacy and clinic are under one roof without any walls when you are inside. Both businesses have separate entrances. I'm guessing that it's a design trend these days. There is plenty of parking at this plaza. I wish that Chatime were open when I was there. I'll need to come back and check it out, along with the other stores. I'd return here for future antigen tests for travel. The report quality is perfect and it was $39. (429)
