Tip: Staff speak English and Cantonese.
On Monday, my mom had a medical appointment at MD Unionville Medical Clinic. Next door to it is Health Care Pharmacy.
Both businesses are intertwined. From the underground parking lot, you can use either entrance to get to the business that you want. You can also cross over to the other one when you're inside.
The medical clinic has a tiny waiting room. The overflow waiting room is in the corridor to the pharmacy.
My mom needed to get an injection for her osteoporosis. We had to get it at the pharmacy next door. It was convenient.
The injection medication wasn't cheap. It was $200, but we only needed to shell out for $100, as only half of it was covered by Ontario Health for folks over 65+ taking this medication for the first time.
The male pharmacist was knowledgeable and competent. He spoke to us in Cantonese. He said that next year, this shot would be completely covered by Ontario Health. Cool!
My dad paid for the medication with cash. He rarely uses his debit card. He got the box of medication and headed to the waiting room.
The lab took my mom into a room to administer the shot. It was straightforward.
There's a main entrance that faces South Unionville Avenue. During my two-hour wait for my mom to see her doctor, I never saw anyone use that entrance. Everyone seems to park underground and comes in from the parking lot entrance.
I'm glad this pharmacy exists. It convenient when you need injection medication to be administered immediately. I appreciated how knowledgeable the pharmacist was.
