My husband was sick last week and I convinced him to go to the doctors. He took the car and headed…read moreto the closest walk-in, Solutions in the Sobeys building in Spryfield. He arrived at 9 am, when the website said they opened, to find a room of people and a confused receptionist. He asked to see a doctor, expecting to wait a while, and was told she "wasn't sure" when the doctor would be in. He inquired some more and she said definitely he'd be in after lunch. He found this odd but returned home and told me he'd go back after lunch. We're not sure what those other crowds of people did...since the doctor was missing. Around 1 pm he headed back over. Still told no doctor. Told to come back that evening. He returned home and when I got home from work I offered to take him over (although I suggested a different clinic because it worries me when they don't know where their physician is!) so I brought him over, during normal hours, and they were closed. No sign, no explanation. Just closed. This is ridiculous. First they send sick people running back and forth because they've lost their doctor and then they randomly close without warning. We will never go back to this location. It was too much of a hassle. And don't worry... I took him to another clinic I usually use and he's feeling much better!

With the shortage of Doctors in N.S they can treat you if they want to and how ever they want to. I only needed antibiotics but only one doctor is aware of my situation and how to treat it. They need to be an expert in their field and you need to pray and hope the sun, moon, and stars all line up for you. Good luck.

This practice is ... okay. I like the doctors, but the office itself is wanting…read more The waiting area is large, but cut in two. The reception desk is in the middle and while the staff are nice enough, they aren't the most personable. The office layout consists of (what appear to be) two separate hallways of offices with a waiting area for each hallway. The problem is, if the area closest to your doctor's office is full, you have to wait in the other and hope you hear your doctor call your name. Perhaps because this practice doubles as a walk-in clinic, the staff don't call each patient and take them to the exam room, which has always been the norm with my previous GPs. It's also not the cleanest waiting room. My doctor is great, if a bit shy and quiet (then again, so am I). I have seen one other doctor in this practice and he was efficient and personable. I would recommend this practice as the three-star rating is more for the pre-appointment experience; I have had nothing but pleasnt experiences with the GPs.

No matter how empty the waiting room, you can still bet on a lengthy wait no matter how much on time you are. This is for scheduled bookings not walk-in. The doctors here seem to like having their patients simmer in the waiting room, marinated in other people's godawful germs from who knows where. It's located conveniently connected to a pharmacy. It would be even better if the pharmacy was a good one. This, however, is not the case for this pharmacy. They'll be for another review.

Given the state of healthcare in Nova Scotia, and the horrible shortage of available family…read moredoctors, we should all be extremely thankful for services provided by a caring, knowledgeable and efficient GP such as Dr. Haider. As well, the main Medical Receptionist, Lavina, is nothing short of a Godsend. She must work 3x harder than the average person in her position. Anyone who does not appreciate this facility and its caring professionals expect much too much. Things have changed over time. Be thankful you can see any doctor. In my 10 years, I have been helped at this clinic more times than I can even remember.

It was dim dingy and very, very much in need of an update. This new building is lovely. Bright and airy, with art on the walls, it's a much more pleasant place to wait in. The chairs are super comfy, which is great, as you'll be waiting for a while in them. While I love my family doctor to pieces, and I've never had any other doctor disappoint me here, I can't give this spot a full five stars. That is because my doctor has a receptionist that hates me. I don't know why. I can't ever remember her smiling at anyone, so maybe she hates everyone. All I know is she's rude and blunt and I dread calling for an appointment because of how little she cares. There's another receptionist who works the same desk, and she's an absolute doll. She'll do her best to get everyone an appointment as soon as possible, while the other woman will make you wait six weeks, no matter how much you stress that your call is an emergency. So really, this review is either a one star for stressing me out so much, or a five star for making my life a breeze. Let's compromise, and go with a middle three. The extra star is for the amazing doctors who deserve all the praise in the world.

I then dropped by the office to see if I could book for a subsequent date in person. The office was completely empty. I was told that I could only book by phone, and could try on the following morning, which I did, but continually received a busy signal. So, I tried again repeatedly on the following two mornings. The first morning, I eventually received the message that the office was fully booked. On the second morning, I actually succeeded I getting through, but was placed on hold for about 15 minutes, and then when the receptionist finally picked up again, she told me that I would have no hope of getting an appointment at the clinic for the next two weeks. I am not sure why when I visited the clinic, she just didn't tell me that they were not currently taking walk in appointments which appears to be the situation, instead of allowing me to waste three mornings trying to book one.

When I moved to Halifax, I had a difficult time finding a doctor that respected me and listened to…read moremy concerns. Fortunately, once I had decided to bail on the first doctor, I found Dr. Bruce Silburt and his staff at the Mayflower Medical Centre. Mayflower Medical is a shared practice. Dr. Silburt practices there, as do a number of his colleagues. The central office staff support all associated doctors. I've seen two other doctors besides Dr. Silburt. Everyone has been respectful and kind, and worked with me to find a solution to whatever was bothering either myself or one of my kiddos. Of particular note is the weekend clinic hours they offer; sometimes that's the only way you can get seen in a hurry. Having said that, I do have to let you know that appointments go quickly; for a routine visit, expect to wait 2 - 3 weeks. It's difficult to be seen for an urgent complaint, which is why I have back-up doctors at the Family Focus Medical Clinic. Between the two practices, I can usually get everything taken care of without too much bother. If you have an appointment booked, it's a good plan to bring a book -- it's very common to have a significant wait before being called back. But, all things considered, I'm very pleased with both Dr. Silburt and the Mayflower Medical Centre.
