FInding a family doctor is hard, so when I moved downtown 10 years ago, I discovered that I couldn't find a family doctor, but I could be assigned to a Nurse Practitioner at WCH Family Practice. For those reluctant to opt for a Nurse Practitioner, I can tell you from my experience, it is better than a family doctor. Anything they can handle on their own is done quickly because you can see them sooner than the overbooked doctors, and when there is something they can't handle, it is referred to a doctor in the clinic or a specialist, so it is the best of both worlds. My Nurse practitioner retired last year and I ended up becoming a patient of one of the doctors in the clinic, and while she is a great doctor, WCH is a teaching hospital, so she is only in the clinic twice a week, so appointments are hard to get. However, WCH family practice offers urgent care appointments in the evenings, so if a doctor can't see you that day, you can see one in the evening, instead of going to a walk in clinic or emergency. The clinic is very accessible, something I appreciated after my knee surgery.

    This has been my doctor's office for a decade now and I would not go anywhere else. Even though I…read moream working from home now and I am no longer in the downtown core every day, I still make the trip here for all my doctor appointments. I don't understand why people complain about the front desk staff not being friendly chatty etc... they are no there to be your BFFs, they are there to do their jobs... If you want to chit chat, go find yourself some friends! I think they are very efficient and they do their jobs well. Remember that along with checking you in, they are also answering the phone and email and a bunch of other things, so have some patience. For a downtown walk -in, the wait time to see a doctor is very fast. Doctors are great and will take time to listen to your issues. Now with COVID, you have the opportunity to send an email to have a doctor call you back and a doctor calls back within one hour! They can diagnose over the phone and even send emailed prescriptions to your local pharmacy. I really have nothing bad to say about this doctor's office and I truly think it's the best one in Toronto!!

    The fastest walk-in clinic in Toronto. Simply put…read more I came in at around 8:00 am one day and left by 8:25 am. The place is brand new, it's difficult to find if you're new but follow these instructions. From Queen and Yonge (Queen subway Station), walk south until you see the Rexall, then make sure you are on the north east corner of Richmond and Yonge, then walk east. You will see the waiting area of the walkin clinic. Registration took 2 minutes for new patients. The receptionists are very kind and the doctors are competent, efficient, and caring. Other clinics that I've gone to (like Lockwood) make you wait 45 minutes to 1 hour -- sometimes 2 hours, WTF?? That is ridiculous. This clinic is LIGHTNING FAST! ZIP and your DONE. Plus, the Rexall pharmacy is next door!

    I have been coming to the Adelaide Clinic for 15+ years. In that time, I have seen a number of…read morehealth practitioners (chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy and Chinese medicine) there and have always felt like my concerns and treatment was taken seriously and addressed to the best of their ability. I am also seen on time which is a rare thing in a doctor's office! The staff, doctors and practitioners here care about their patients. Reagan - for a massage that is out of this world, especially if you like deep tissue vs "light and fluffy". Jumy - for TCM, helped me address some issues through acupuncture and other treatments, which I use as an integral part of my health care. Last but not least, Dr. Lee has been my chiropractor for over 15 years, and he is the reason I first came to the clinic. In that time I have sent my husband, my mother with spinal issues, my grandmother and several other family members to see him. Dr. Lee focuses on the root cause of the problem, never just an "adjustment and done". Over the years, he has helped me recover from a knee injury, repetitive strain in arms and shoulders, back pain. He has also helped me be more aware of my body alignment and areas to strengthen, which keeps me out of his office, rather than in! To support his patients, Dr. Lee is always striving to further his knowledge and techniques, to work in partnership with other health care providers even when they are outside of his clinic, and genuinely cares for his patients and their well being and experience. I gladly continue to come to the Adelaide Clinic as partner in my health care.

    It was my fault for forgetting about my appointment but isn't a $75 no-show fee kind of high? It…read morewas only supposed to be a 10min appointment to go over blood test results. I don't know what other clinics usually charge but according to this article: "The fee should reasonably reflect the cost of the missed appointment, which would in general be about $30 for a regular appointment and $60 for a full physical." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/ask-a-health-expert/ive-been-billed-for-missing-an-appointment-that-my-doctor-cancelled-twice/article16688690/

    I booked an appointment online (walk-in) to see a Doctor for a longstanding chronic cough…read more Upon my arrival in the clinic, I was seen immediately on my scheduled time. I was surprised as this was the first time that I don't have to wait for a long time so I was feeling kinda positive. Then the doctor assigned to me, Dr. Calvin Lei came into the room and this is where everything downhill. He checked me for a mere 5 mins and diagnosed it as a viral infection. I asked him what to do next as I'm taking OTC medicines and his reply was "to do whatever I want to do". When you come to see a professional you defer to their expertise and have high hopes that doctors will help you heal. Well not Dr. Lei. When you're at your vulnerable times and hurting he will definitely rushed you and your illness/symptoms dismissed. Most likely will not even provide you with the answers to your problem. This experience further inflamed my deep frustration and dissatisfaction with our health care system. Most medical professional nowadays lacks empathy and compassion and are mostly uncaring people who simply wants a pay check. So sad but true that Canada's health care is now at its melting point.

    They still have a mask mandate and it's 2024. My doctor told me last year they will probably never…read moreget rid of it. So I'm looking for a new doctor. Staff are friendly though so if you're one of the minority still walking around outside with a mask on, I guess this is the spot for you.​

She once removed my stitches that were really difficult to deal with because I kept them too long. the wait time is quite short, especially when you book your appointment A.M.. it might get longer in the afternoon, but usually things are moving quite fast there. it is not a place where you will have a super long and heartfelt conversation with your doctor, but you will get a good service and won't be stuck in the waiting room like I witnessed in some other places. they are really good with keeping up with lab work and contacting people if results are bad. it is a very well organized place. One thing that I had noticed is quite a high turnover of the receptionists - or maybe there are many part timers? it seems that any time I go there I see new faces at the reception. Nonetheless, they are friendly and keep up with the fast pace, which is quite challenging in this kind of environment.

    One of my favourite locations for family doctors. I never waited more than ten minutes and everyone…read moreseems to be really friendly and professional. I have been to places where I wait almost an hour, not here. Hands down.
