Self-serve medical care. Hope you like pumping your own gas so to speak. This place is the medical equivalent of a puppymill. It is structured to maximize patient fees and the number of patients seen in a day in order bilk msp for maximal taxpayer money. The Doctors who cycle through âworkingâ here are of varying competency but the feature they all share? none of them really care. The âpracticeâ aka business is not owned by a physician but rather an enterprising monster who sees people and their healthcare as a lucrative commodity solely to be profited from at every turn. Their practices are predatory and designed to exploit the most vulnerable sections of our population at their most vulnerable moments. Any older, semi- knowledgeable doctors leave hastily and they are only able to retain green doctors who have no experience and are thrilled just to be employed in Canada given their out of country medical diplomas - that is until they become established, trained, semi-competent physicians themselves and quit after becoming jaded and disillusioned by the horror of this clinic. You will be in charge of your own care, as no one at this clinic will advocate on your behalf. You are a disposable source of income. One problem per appointment because otherwise they would lose hours and precious money. The reception staff are bitter, brittle, and rude. ALSO, they are NO longer a walk-in clinic but rather a transient phone hub that requires booking a âwalk-in phone callâ a month in advance. Clinics like this seek only exploit the current fractures in our medical system to enrich themselves. If you are lucky enough to have a family doctor - Avoid at all costs. You'd find better treatment in the ER, even if spat on the triage nurse (Obviously, please don't spit on people). As far as part of the problem vs part of the solution goes: Lakeside Medical Walk-in Clinic is part of the problem, and loves it.

They never answer the phone. Hang ups are common The Doctors are amazing. All other services have been quite satisfactory. Convenient is also a bonus. I understand it’s busy and respect the protocol
