I've been coming to this place since 2012. There are several doctors and nurses at this centre. Usually the nurse sees you first before the doctor, to take history or take vitals. The nurse can also give you vaccinations.
They are linked to St. Michael's Hospital. If you have to visit the hospital, the clinic automatically gets results over their computer system.
This is a family unit clinic, where your file is shared between the doctor's at the clinic, so any of them can see you under an emergency situation and your doctor is not available.
There is a bloodwork clinic in there too. There are social workers covered by OHIP to help you with things like stress. There are dietitians civered by OHIP to help you with nutrition.
They also run drop-in clinics after-hours.
There is a TV in their waiting room.
Starting late 2018, they started allowing email communications.
As of Mar 2019, they have expanded into what was Appletree Medical Centre providing them with more rooms for the non-doctor offices.
Sometime around 2024, you can book a non-urgent appointment with your doctor, but expect to be booked 3-5 weeks in the future.
I've been through ups and downs with this clinic. The family doctor (Dr. Lee Schofield) I had since 2012 started getting worse in customer service after 2018. It got to the point where he was very late and then didn't even show up for appointments! He eventually left the clinic.
With bad news came good news. All his patients got transfered to a new doctor, Dr. Margaret Hess. She is beyond excellent! She even won awards during her residency. She will even call you during the weekend to discuss results with you!
After the pandemic, when you called, you usually have to wait over 1 hour to speak with someone. Around 2024, the wait time reduced to 5-10 mins.
There is a way for a doctor to request info from you over a secure communications channel.
There is free WiFi. The clinic is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom which is also wheelchair accessible. There is paid and free neighbourhood street parking.
