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.

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.

I am extremely sympathetic to a lot of the walk in clinics in Halifax - there is so much demand for…read morehealth providers currently so I can't imagine how overwhelmed those that work in it are. I always arrive at 7 to be given a number at 8:30 to maybe be seen at around 10:30. It's a long process, but much faster than other walk in clinics in Halifax from my experience. It really sucks that it takes out so much time from a day, especially if you're looking for prescription refills or small / quick procedures or check ups. The service is fine. The doctor is kind and efficient. It's nothing to write home about, but again- I can imagine everyone working in this field being overwhelmed and having to put up with a lot of impatience and harsh words. I try to redirect my frustration at the overall health system we have in place rather than the individual. I was unimpressed with the amount of ants everywhere - I don't know if this is because of the clinic being inside of Superstore, the trash not being taken out, or some other reason. It also doesn't smell clean, which is off putting for a clinic. When I wait for so long, especially to have someone look after my health, I want to feel... clean? Sanitary? I have come here a few times, but was unimpressed with my most recent visit due to the ants and state of the clinic.

Woodlawn has been my family doctor's office ever since I can remember. I've been going there even…read moreback when it was in that terrible brown building with the narrowest staircases of all time. 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 didn't even take off my jacket. after, I asked to see if my ankle is worse due to cartilage lost and a new pain I haven't felt before and all he said is i should "take rest because i'm healing slower" when I referred again to the fact it's not a sprain, it's worn down cartilage (that will not heal or regenerate) he doubled down that I simply need to rest more than previously. it all felt like a huge waste of time and effort. I would've preferred waiting 8 hours in an emergency room to see a doctor who will actually check me out so that I can confidently know if I was fine or not. I will not be going ever again. Already as a black woman I must advocate for my own health time and again because people do not believe me or take me seriously, this was one of those moments.
