Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • How is my information kept confidential?

    All of the information you provided is fully confidential. If you want your information to be disclosed to a family member or someone, you need to provide a written permission or bring them with you to the clinic.

    We would need your written consent if you request your records sent to your family doctor. There will be charges for this request.

  • I do not have a Health Card (OHIP) - can I still see a doctor?

    You may see a doctor and receive medical treatment.

    Please indicate during your registration if you have private insurance or self-pay.

  • Do you do vaccinations for children?

    Yes, we have available vaccines for children.

    Please call the clinic to ask for the availability of the vaccine your child needs

  • Are you able to renew prescriptions via phone or fax?

    We are unable to renew prescriptions via fax or phone. However, you can visit any of our clinics, and a doctor will be there to help you.

  • How I can I book an Appointment for a doctor in Walk-In Clinic / Urgent Care Centre (MMUCC)?

    You can book an appointment with your preferred physician in two ways:

    (1) You can book same day appointment through our website (online) from 12 am everyday – Very easy to book.

    This will cut short your waiting time. Once you get your appointment time, you don’t need to wait in line with walk-in patients who just walk-in without appointment.

    (2) Patients who walk-in without booking, can self-register for a walk-In appointment.

    You have to wait for your order with other walk-In patients, who don’t have a booked appointment.

  • What is Urgent Care?

    People who have unexpected but non-life-threatening health concerns that usually require same-day treatment. 

    Examples of Urgent Care conditions include Injuries, sprains, lacerations, throbbing pain from any abscess, Migraine headache, Severe Ear pain, Red Eye, minor burns, Asthma, severe pain & various infections. 

    For any Life-threatening conditions like Chest pain, Fainting attack (Loss of Consciousness), Shortness of Breath, Seizure or Loss of limb function (any stroke sign) you should call 911 and go to Emergency. 

  • If I need to see a doctor urgently, can I be prioritized in the Walk-In Clinic?

    For emergency situations, the walk-in clinic is not the best place to go to. Please call 911 or proceed to the emergency department of the hospital nearest you.

    Only urgent situations which are not life-threatening can be seen in our clinic. But we cannot prioritise your order of waiting, unless you are bleeding significantly or having severe symptoms.

    But while you are waiting in our clinic, if your condition becomes serious, you have to immediately inform the Nurse (inside the clinic) and our doctors will take the necessary steps.

  • I like a specific doctor in your Walk-In Clinic, may I make him/her my family doctor?

    We are glad your doctor was able to help you the way you wanted.

    We will continue to serve you as your preferred "Rapid Access Clinic", however, none of our doctors do family practice (even though all of them are certified to practice in Family Medicine).

  • I want to see the doctor I saw in the past at the Walk-In Clinic, what is her/his schedule?

    Our doctors work on specific days, specific clinic and times. Please call the clinic to ask about the doctors’ schedule.

    But, please bear in mind that our regular schedule may change without prior notice due to personal emergencies or unavoidable circumstances.
