Made an appointment for an immigration medical exam. Loved being able to book one online and choose a date I want. My exam went pretty smoothly (thanks to Dr. Sivanantharajah!), I was referred to another clinic for my blood work and x-ray, but I managed to finish them all in one day, and all the results were at the immigration center only 2 days later. Very efficient!

Was not impressed with the service. i booked an appointment, only to get there on time and find the place closed. I called to figure out what was going on and was disgusted by the receptionist's lack of professionalism , who told me to go another center. Taking into consideration i was not rude or unpolite in anyway whatsoever. This was very unprofessional but i am truly glad i did go to another center . i cannot put my life or health problems in the hands of people who cannot respect for other people. How would they respect my Life? Not impressed. It just goes to show that "years of experience

First of all the Drs are all great and speciall thanks to Dr Ashton .
But the clinic management is so poor .
I had a miscarriage without any bleeding or pain and I figured it out by my 12 weeks ultrasound . The clinic reciption didn't gave me appointment for my fallow up session to see how I need to proceed to clean my body from the tissue and sac. I asked them couple times that my ultrasound is sent over to your clinic . Please give me any appointment to see the doctor . They were just saying all our Drs are fully booked until next week and I asked for appointment for next week . They said go

Have been here a lot of times over last month and a bit and overall I think they’ve been brilliant! Very quick responses by email, got appointments within a week if not next day. Saw three doctors there and they were all very kind, listened to my requests, were efficient and professional. Great Covid protocols too since only people with appointments are allowed in the building to limit numbers. Thanks for helping me out!

I needed to see a doctor for an urgent matter as my GP wasn't able to accommodate me for another month. Maurice was extremely accommodating, despite running the clinic on his own the day I called. At my first appointment, I rang the doorbell per their covid instructions & was greeted by an extremely friendly nurse. I then met with Dr.Sivanantharajah & she was incredibly sweet & helpful. I ended up needing another appointment and again, staff were very accommodating to my schedule. I was blown away by the quality of care that I received from Dr.Siva, Maurice and the rest of the staff members and

The reception staff are very friendly and accommodating. I saw Dr. P Sivanantharajah (Dr Siva for short). She was so professional and her bedside manner was amazing! She went above and beyond to help me.
Definitely email for an appointment because they get back to you very quickly and it is sometimes difficult to get them on the phone since they can be very busy.
There is free one hour parking on the street right next to the clinic. I have never had trouble getting a spot.
