My 5 year old son had a persistent cough for 3 weeks from a cold and flu. I called the clinic at…read more7:30 AM on a Saturday and was told that there was currently no wait time for walk-in. The receptionist was very kind and helpful. We got there around 8:30 AM and was seen by a caring doctor within 10 minutes. This was super helpful because most clinics don't open until later on a weekend and our GP was away until Wednesday. Thank you to the awesome doctors and receptionist at this clinic!

Moving here to Vancouver from the States 18 months ago, I had no idea how the Canadian, or the…read moreprovincial BC medical system worked, nor did I have a GP here for myself or my family. I was SO lucky to be referred to Dr. Brian Yau here (and lucky that he was taking new patients, too). In the past, when I lived in Seattle, it took me a while to find doctors and dentists that I "clicked" with. I always felt that it takes a team effort - me and my doctor, - to be most effective in my staying/being healthy. So it's critical that I'm comfortable with my doctor to talk openly with him or her. It's in my best interest to "click" with him/her. And it's critical that he/she be knowledgeable, receptive, accessible and helpful. Bonus if the office staff is friendly and works with me and my schedule. Dr. Yau and his office staff are all these things, and more. They've fit me in the Dr's schedule ASAP when I needed to be seen. Dr. Yau is working with my WA doctors to follow up on past conditions and provide continuity of care. He takes the time to patiently go over all the many ways the system here differs from that in the States, and helps me navigate my way here re: blood work, referrals to other medical specialists, etc. He's also been incredibly helpful for my daughter, too. Another bonus here: Dr. Yau is incredibly prompt. (I always get irked when kept waiting and waiting, appointment after appointment, at doctors' and dentists' offices. It's as if my time isn't respected at all. Sure, once in a while is understandable but when it happens regularly, it really rubs me the wrong way). Dr. Yau has always seen me within 5 minutes of our appointment time. To me, that is yet another sign that he cares about his patients. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Yau and the office staff here. My only caveats (which are admittedly minor): no free parking or validated parking here, and no wi-fi in the office (bummer). Otherwise, this practice here is stellar. I consider myself super lucky to be a patient here.

I started as a patient of Dr. Nguan while she was on maternity leave and ended up seeing her locums…read morewho were all great. Then I met Dr. Nguan and she is one of the most kind hearted Dr's I have ever been to! It took me years to find a Dr that would take on new patients and to luck out and find the most amazing Dr in the city is just amazing! The reception is great, they are friendly and helpful. After being to a lot of clinics with extremely rude receptionists this really tips the scales in their favor! They always work with me to find an appointment that will suit my schedule which is really important for me since I don't live or work close to the office (but it's worth the travel!) I believe one of the locums I saw Dr. Bergman now works in the office as well so if you are looking for a male Dr he is also amazing!

This is not a regular doctor's office, but part of the UBC students' training. About 10 doctors,…read moreone nurse (for pap exams), one dietician are here, to supervise the students. As a result, each appointment starts with the student coming in and asking about your symptoms. She may perform small exams as she fees fit, then go confer with your doctor. Then, they both come in and offer prescriptions or whatever is necessary. I like this because I get a thorough inspection and the student usually narrates what she is doing (feeling the lymph nodes, etc.). I happened to go twice a month apart, and the student was different. So, this setup is not for people who want to see one doctor quickly and get out. Apparently, they are funded by the government by how many patients are registered there, as opposed to the usual offices being reimbursed per patient visit. This is why they ask patients to always come to them, and not go to walk-in clinics. I have been able to book an appointment with my doctor the day I call. If he is not available, they offer an appointment with another one of the doctors. The official address lists it as on Oak St, but it is deep inside the hospital complex, so it's easier to get to from the parking lot entrance on Heather at 29th Ave. Follow the sidewalk on the north side. It's the building after the first crosswalk. Go up the ramp on the corner.

My daughter is very comfortable and likes coming as well. Sometimes the exams take a bit longer because of the teaching setting, but as a plus I can always get in within a day or two to see a doctor, even if not my own another is on call on Saturdays. They are now located on Broadway at Willow and there is parking available on the roof.

Wow! Great doctors,…read moreunfortunately you have to get past that lip-stick wearing pit bull they call a receptionist. Would it kill that woman to smile just once? I know I'm asking for the moon to ask her to just "pretend" once that she cares about the patient's well being or their needs. She needs to find a new job because clearly she is not a people person. There must be plenty of unemployed people with personalities out there who would gladly smile and make a patient feel welcome. I don't need her condescending attitude so I am going to find another clinic to go to. Too bad because the doctors are pretty great.

Beyond the fact that one can access gratis medical visits--thanks, Canada!--this clinic is a 'clean, well-lighted' & welcoming space for women from all social strata. My visit with the RN began ten minutes after my 10.30 appt. time. The client just before me had left at about a quarter past the hour. Be prepared to wait a bit, I guess. Not used to not having to pay for every little thing regarding health care, I was compelled to make a financial donation after my visit as both a thank-you & a way to support what is a very necessary women's institution. When I inquired, I was told that the collective would gladly accept a donation of women's clothing. Preferring to make a monetary donation, I was sent to chat with the clinic's director. PayPal would be the way to go, if one is so inclined.

If you're a woman looking for a walk-in clinic in the area, I highly recommend them.

I explained to him that i am in a lot of pain and needed a referral for a specialist. He said the doctor will call you tomorrow. So I cleared my schedule and waited. 30 minutes pass from the time the doctor was suppose to call and nothing. I called the office and no one was picking up, or it would go straight to voicemail. After some back and forth, the doctor finally called and she told me that I can't give referral until I see you in person. That's understandable, but the guy I called initially didn't mention this at all. So I wasted my entire day because the idiot from the office doesn't respect my time or the condition I was in, either that or he isn't as informed as he should be... Had he told me from the beginning that you'll probably need to be seen for a referral and that won't happen until September-ish I would've been more understanding and went to an ER instead, but that didn't happen instead I was needlessly in pain for 2 extra days.
