In an emergency please visit the emergency room. The use of outside walk-in clinics is not appropriate:
1. Walk-in clinic’s care quality is limited as they do not have your medical records. This results in higher risk of medication errors/unnecessary tests/more frequent referrals to ER or right back to…..your family doctor! Walk-in clinics do NOT send your care records or test results to us. Often resulting in scattered care, chasing hard to obtain records, suboptimal care.
2. If you see a primary care provider/family doctor outside of our clinic, The Ministry of Health will DIRECTLY CHARGE YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR to pay the FULL FEE to the walk-in clinic doctor. If you plan to continue visiting outside walk-in clinics, we may not be able to continue providing care under this model.
