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.

I've had the nurse practitioners here as my primary care for about a year now. I really appreciate…read morethem for several reasons: - it's easy to get an appointment on the same day - the appointments are scheduled in half hour chunks, so I never feel rushed - they are so kind and caring: they always tell me to come back if I have more problems, and work with me to get to the bottom of things. If you're a woman looking for a walk-in clinic in the area, I highly recommend them.

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.

Dr. Marhin is always willing to…read moretake the extra time to answer all my questions and it is nice to have female residents to do my pap exams. 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.

Dr. Carin Strydom is, bar none, the most compassionate doctor I have ever seen. (And I used to be a…read moredoctor myself so please trust me when I say she is truly exceptional in this regard.) She is knowledgeable without arrogance, caring without condescension, and completely devoid of hubris. Dr. Strydom is always willing to think outside the box and explore alternative treatment options. She does not look down her nose at naturopathy as other MDs tend to do, and was very open to working in conjunction with my own naturopath in managing my complex medical condition. Where other doctors have been dismissive and off-putting, Dr. Strydom's only agenda has been to maximize my quality of life. As a disabled person with sporadic and limited bearable hours, Dr. Strydom's efforts in this regard have literally saved my life. The clinic itself is very busy, and sometimes the staff can come across as impatient, but they have never failed to assist me with various additional paperwork and special requests that are, unfortunately, part and parcel of being a disabled person in this province.

I saw Dr. Ng for a physical. He has seen my wife's doctor for many years and I finally went to see…read morehim. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He actually took time to talk to me and didn't push me out the door like other doctors I have seen. The secretaries up front were nice and helped will all the paperwork. He ordered some blood tests. At the follow up appointment he went through all the readings and was very patient in explaining what all the values meant. Dr. Ng made some recommendations (no more bacon - boo) and overall it was a good experience. There is limited underground parking around the side.

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.

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!

As of Dec 20, 2016, they are ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS!…read more I've found my new family doctor in Dr Thomas Hong. I met him for the first time and he seemed like a very kind and compassionate physician. He's a good listener and seemed genuinely concerned about my medical issues. The clinic was opened only for a few weeks, so he and another family physician are seeking new patients. He's young and appears to be a recent medical school grad, which is perfect as I prefer young, driven, and compassionate doctors over older and jaded physicians, which seem like they care about their paycheck than your medical concerns. This clinic is inside of a Pharmasave pharmacy and may be a bit difficult to find. The entrance is on the side of the building adjacent to the parking lot.
