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)

They're over tired and are not thinking straight. The doctor made an unnecessary incision in a healthy part of the skin, when the patient said not to do it.

So they moved from their original location at Pacific Mall. Unbeknownst to me, I ended up on a…read morewild goose chase trying to find the place. I learnt that Silver Star Rd, extends to Mcnicoll but there's a gap in between. And they aren't in the plazas across the street from the mall. Instead, it's in a brand new excessively big plaza. Only the bottom floor of the building is occupied by a dental office, pharmacy and this medical centre. A WalkIn begins at 1:15pm on Saturdays. It's basically first come first serve and existing patients (like me) can come and line up for their doctor. Due to my huge detour, I was late and when I got there finally was 1:30pm. There was already 20 people in line, and I had to convince them to tack me on at the end. They also did tell me I'd probably be waiting til 3:30. I was all the way already, oh well. Although brand new, the office seems really unorganized. With 3 ladies, they are trying their best to deal with random patients asking them questions. I guess the benefit might also be to you, as you can sneak in through the line if you get in on their good side, but it's determent to others. Okay , so I had 2+ hours to kill. There were a few lunch places - Chako BBQ, Yummy and some Malaysian Noodle Place. I chose Yummy. They have free wifi. Now, if you have some time to kill, bring your device here, as opposed to the Starbucks across the street which was full of students studying. I left lunch, thinking that I could go to the Foot Massage place and kill another hour. I went in, and it was so sketchy. Dark - and the lady basically chased me out and made sure that I had left by pieaking out the door a 2nd time. Also she says their rate was $40 for half hour and $60 for an hour. What kind of Chinese place has these rates? There's also a Rona across the way if you're inclined to go there. Other than that, you're basically stuck. I went back into the offices, and decided to wait. There were power outlets in various places so I was in hand with Laptop for some distraction. When it was almost my turn, they called me on my cell, which was a nice gesture, but I was already here. I was out of the place by 4:00pm with my medical mission accomplished. Just a lot longer than usual.

You can do everything in this one building. For example, you can get your blood tested here right away or if you need an x-ray or ultrasound. There's all sorts of practice here, such as psychologists, dentists, etc. I also like how there's a pharmacy on the ground floor. Its so convenient! They're usually pretty efficient so you don't spend a long time waiting for your prescriptions - which is great, especially when you're sick. Call me old, but I do hope everything stays the same here - even that one sllloowwww elevator.

The Finch Midland Medical Centre has been serving this Chinese community for over 20 years. The…read more4-story building is located right at the NW corner of Finch and Midland, in that plaza with all kinds of quick eats and restaurants! Hence, people often complain that there are not enough parking spots, and they are right! But never fear, there are plenty more parking spots BEHIND the restaurants in that plaza... just go in from Midland Avenue. It is quite a lively building, with people going in and out at all hours. There is a pharmacy and a post office conveniently located on the main floor. Once it is past the building opening hours, the main doors automatically lock! The only way you can get out is from the back door near the stairways. Yes, I've seen people madly trying to get out at off hours, getting very frustrated, panicking, banging and pushing on the doors (and swearing!) o_o **NOTE: Please use the back door ** The management keeps the building very clean, inside and out. They have cleaners cleaning throughout the day. The directory is clearly displayed, making it easy for people to find where they are looking for. ** Another thing to NOTE is that there is a 3 hour parking limit during building opening hours ** Management strictly keeps tabs on every vehicle, so be sure not to go past the limit or you'll be fined by a parking enforcement officer for overtime parking at private property.

Tip: If you are a co-caregiver and you need a medical note from this office, don't bother. This…read moreplace only accepts one name as a co-caregiver and the receptionist dictates whether you deserve to get a medical note written by Dr Woo. I like Dr Kin Yee Woo. She is my mom's family doctor. Everything that I said about her in my previous review still holds true. The problem? Her receptionist that I spoke to over the phone, which aligns with what other Yelpers have said about her -- that she's a heartless, nasty piece of work. At my workplace, we were recently mandated to go into the office three times a week. That wasn't going to happen with me, as my dad and I are co-caregivers. My dad can't handle my being away from helping my mom out for three full days. I applied for an exemption with Human Resources. The HR woman still had the notion that I'd be working my way to being in the office three times a week. She didn't understand that it's a LOT of work to care for a loved one with dementia and more, and hold a full-time job. She said that I needed a doctor's note to get an exemption. I thought that with my positive experience with Dr Woo at my mom's appointment that getting a note would go well. I'm too optimistic. I called this medical clinic. It's hit or miss getting a response. I have left voice message and never got a call back. On March 31, a female receptionist picked up. I asked if I could get a doctor's note written by Dr Woo to state that I needed to take care of my mom with my dad. This woman said that only one of us could be the caregiver on file. This limitation was odd. My dad and I have always done co-caregiving duties. He is listed as the primary caregiver. This receptionist said that the doctor's note couldn't have my name on it because my dad is listed as the primary caregiver. She also said that it's "[my] choice" to work remotely and you can't have co-caregivers. Yes, it's my choice to care for my mom with my dad and take the burden off him for potentially being in the office three days each week. I found it odd that she dictated the doctor's note's content on behalf of Dr Woo. She said that she'll contact the doctor to see if she is "willing" to write a note. As expected, she never called back. Luckily, my mom had her first appointment with her gerontologist about her dementia. I asked him if he could write me a doctor's note. I got it. This receptionist showed no empathy for my family's situation and getting a doctor's note to help us out. I'm sure karma will show her a thing or two if she's ever in our position. Being a complete jerk doesn't get you far in life. Summary: You get decent health care with Dr Woo. It's the receptionist that needs a heart and a vat of compassion. I have left a voice message to share my distain for this receptionist and the primary caregiver "policy" that is allegedly set up here. I don't expect a response, but it felt good leaving a piece of my mind. (187)
