Based on my personal experience, Dr Omar Alsaffar and his support staff at the St Laurent Medical…read moreCentre have always been professionnel and efficient in arranging and delivering to me the best health care possible. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had Dr Omar Alsaffar as my family physician for the the past two years and I can say without any hesitation that Dr Omar is one of the finest and most caring family physician I've had over the last 60 years. Dr Omar Alsaffar is above all a good listener and has been quite thorough in his examination and diagnosis of my medical issues. When I need a referral to a specialist, I can always depend on Dr Omar and/or his support staff to quickly make the necessary arrangement and to follow up as need be with either an in person or telephone consultation. To anyone looking for a family physician, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Omar Alsaffar at the St Laurent Medical Centre and trust that you will be grateful as I am, to have had the good fortune of being accepted by him as a new patient.

This is the worst medical clinic I have ever been to. My doctor Alchalabi is such an idiot. First…read moreoff the first time I saw him he said because of all the medical problems I had which aren't that many, he said he would need to think about whether or not he would take me as his patient. When he called me for the follow up I told him I was recording the conversation, he told me he would take me on but I would have to come see him every time I wanted prescription refill. WTF is he a family doctor or is this a regular medical clinic? I told him no so finally he agreed to put a note in my file. Later I started to get a rash on my skin after one on my operations. He said it was eczema. He prescribed cream which did nothing. I eventually pushed him to send me to see a specialist so finally he agreed... it turned out I have soriacis not eczema. Did this guy get his degree out of a cereal box? WORSE DOCTOR EVER DO NOT RECOMMEND

Preston St. Location…read more Takes 5+ hours to be seen on almost any day, even by someone for intake. Went for refill of a medication and was told I should go see an NP instead and when I mentioned I couldn't comfortably afford it, was met with a mocking tone about it. Went on two different days and didn't see anyone either because I can't spend more than 6+ hours at a clinic just waiting when I have to work. They got as far as faxing my pharmacy but gave them an incorrect number to send files to. They have huge issues with communicating information about cost of services and transferring any kind of files at all their locations from what I've heard from others. Walk in only, even if you're rostered, no appointments with the same doctor which causes issues with consistency of care. They very obviously take on way more patients than they can handle, and do not care about quality of care. Ended up digging out of my emergency fund to see an NP elsewhere.

This is possibly one of the worst clinics for a walkin patient…read more Since My family Dr. retired a few months ago I had little choice but to visit a clinic. They told me that they had no Doctors at the site and I would have to be seen by a NP (Nurse Practitioner) , which for whatever reason carries a charge of $97, and is not covered by OHIP ,nor my health plan with my employer (Government of Canada) as I found out later. They did not bother informing me that the fee was not covered by anyone , and if that wasn't bad enough Their service was subpar at best and the Nurse had an absolute terrible bedside manor. After talking for about 5 minutes she was done and prescribed some medication. when she came back into the room I wanted to inform her that I was also experiencing some chest pains, to which she replied "Sorry, I'm out of time", having spent 5 minutes with me. My recommendation is to AVOID THIS CLINIC LIKE THE PLAGUE !!

I love this clinic!…read more Small clinic with super energetic and friendly staff. This has always been my experience, and I've been here several times. It's hours of operation are Monday-Friday 8:15 am-12 noon, 1 pm-3:45 pm. It's best to go during the morning. They are closed from 12 noon to 1 pm so I suggest if you're coming in the afternoon, line up around 12:45 pm to be assured you'll see a doctor by 3:45 pm. It does get fairly busy. They have doctors available for appointments, just give the clinic a call and they will be happy to serve you. Make sure that if it's your first time to come, bring a valid health card and two pieces of ID! There is no t.v in the waiting area, so I suggest to bring something to entertain yourself. The selection of magazines are limited. I live downtown, and this clinic is my go to spot! If you live in the area, you should come here!

This is the worst ever experience in my life, last December was suppose to meet with the doctor at…read more3h00PM, I arrive 10 minute before the appointment waiting my turn the secretary never call me to tell me he was ready or not. I suffer from high anxiety disorder so around 3h20 went to see what was going on, she mention to me I miss the appointment I was late, I response I wasn't late I was sitting in the waiting room and that she should done her work to call me. I say it makes no sense not to let the patient know about the appointment she say it was not her duty to do that, but mine to go register, but when you have a sickness normal you do not think. Well this week, my wife had an appointment so we went, guess what that doctor instead helping her told us to find another doctor because I start a big fight in the Medical Clinic, wow exagerated by the secretary I told the doctor what she did that day, but he defending her indeed. I felt judge by this doctor, I felt also he was racist toward my wife never taking the time to help he or understand her. Please be aware of that clinic, I would not recommend that place even if you desperate to be treated like a dog.

The clinic makes appointments but never follows the schedule. You can wait for hours in the room with ill people.
