    Health care in Canada is like a communist bread line, if you get in line early enough, you may get bread. In order to see a doctor here at the walk-in clinic, you have to line up at 7:00 a.m. If you do manage to get in, some of the doctors here are pretty good. I've had some really good experiences with them. Shout out to Dr. Roy who is great! I would give this place five stars if it wasn't for the long lineups but I believe those are not their fault, I think these are the fault of the healthcare system.

    Was actually kind of unbelievable how fast this place was. Waited maybe 25 mins top. Meanwhile the one on Spring Garden had a 2-3 hour wait. Doctor was great too. I recommend.

    Unbelievable! I called two days ago to confirm time and they confirmed they were opened. Organized my schedule in function to be there early and my surprise when arriving it was closed, no lights, nothing. Really disapointed and worried if it is always like this...

    This is the best walk-in clinic in Halifax. The only thing to be aware of is you need to get there by 7:00am to queue yourself in the lineup. If you want to be seen in the early morning (before 10) I would recommend you get there at 6, the mall is open this early and you can wait outside the clinic. You need a mask and you can only talk about 1 problem at a time. Doctors are so attentive here and take you seriously and spend the time to ask you questions. This is better care than the average family doctor in Nova Scotia in my opinion. Dr. Roy is the best doctor I have ever seen.

    Staff is somewhat fine but this clinic has terrible operation hours (used to open Monday to Friday 8 to 12 and 1 to 4). I thought i got lucky finding a family doctor in the first 6 months i arrived to Nova Scotia, compared to other people who have been waiting for years, and still are; but what a disappointment: you cannot book an appointment with your assigned family doctor, it's only walk ins; i work business hours/days so no possibility for me to go. It has gotten worse in the past 3 months as they are barely open: lack of doctors, they are open 2 or 3 days a week only with even more reduced hours. The only reason I chose this clinic was for its convenient location. But if I cannot see a doctor because their hours are not flexible, what's the point. I do not recommend!

    Excellent experience in that walk in clinic. I lined up at 7:00 and I saw the Dr. at 8:30 The receptionists are friendly. Dr. Roy is a great Dr. He asked me lot questions about my health. He is pretty good!

    I was impressed by how efficiently they worked. I always expect a long wait at a walk in clinic, but this wasn't too bad at all. I could see patients coming in and out of the waiting room, so it felt like things were always moving along. Also, considering the times and how busy they were, they were very friendly. The doctor I saw was also very efficient and professional. He listened attentively, asked me follow up questions. It was my first visit to this one and I'll think I'll stick to it.

    Amazing staff and great service. The appointment I needed was impossible to get at other places for months but they were able to get me in within 2 weeks. The nurse was so nice and welcoming and so was the doctor.

    Compared to the other options in the city for walk in clinics. The service here is much more professional and efficient.

    I've been impressed every time I visited this clinic. The staff are welcoming and friendly and it's super efficient, even on the one occasion they were busy. The doctors are patient (pun intended) and very helpful.

    I arrived at 6:30 with my son. The clinic is closed and they did not updated the information in Google. It says they do not have a doctor but we were not able to access the results of the blood test for the last two months because they do not help by phone and make you make the line. It is 8:09 and nobody has arrived.

    I like this office. Staff are friendly and I like the dr. BUT they really need to keep the website updated. Today I made a special trip to see a dr and there is a sign stating closed until further notice yet the website says they are open today. This is probably the 3rd time I have tried going to this office in the past few years and they have been closed when the website says they are open.

    Arrived Monday morning at 7:10 for an 8:00 opening time. 3 people ahead of me. Got right in, the doctor was fantastic, receptionist was also friendly, out by 9:00am. Pretty good experience considering some of the others I have at walk-ins.

    Poor customer service. 3 times I had my phone call appointment rescheduled which is fine, but I had to call them to find out instead of them notifying me. Three times for the same thing, no follow up even after I called them and they said they would definitely call me back to update me. Not once or twice, three times. The most basic customer service/administrative skills are not practiced. It's shameful, especially because I could have got my prescription re-filled much earlier through a different clinic. Instead I have to suffer through not having my medication. Pathetic. Not only that, but when my family doctor moved provinces months ago, I was never notified. So I had to find out very late that I no longer had a doctor at their clinic. I see other reviews here with the same issues. The clinic said they sent out a memo in the Summer. That was a lie considering other patients of Dr. Farooq didn't get a memo either, according to this review page.

    Dr. Roy is extremely knowledgeable and takes his time to listen to his patients and make an informed diagnosis. The wait is long and it fills up quickly so get there at 7:00 am even to get in, but this isn't the fault of the clinic but the NS HealthCare system. The staff up front are direct but efficient.

    Came at 7:30am and am 15th in line. The first person came at 6:00am. That has to be a joke. Only to find out at 8am that there is no walkin clinic

    I was a patient at this clinic, with Dr Mohammed Farooq. He left the practice, and did not inform his patients. The office also didn't inform his patients that he left the practice. I called looking for urgent response to issues I was having with Medication and my employment. that is when I was informed he had left two weeks prior. I was told there was no plan to re assigned a new Dr. and that the walk-in clinic was my only option. Avoid unless this is your only option for medical assistance.

    There website says the were open, I even called, but by the time I got there (9:30am) they had filled up and wouldn't see anyone else for the day. Not very impressed.

    Excellent staff, I appreciate them a lot. One thing worth fixing, please be open for the times you say you are open. It is no good to stand in line for an hour, watching the closed doors and the dark office behind it, hoping for an opening that never comes.

    This clinic was the only one that ever helped me with my mental health. I was diagnosed with depression and given medication for it. Now because they've closed I have no access to mental health care.

  • 5/5 Sharestha D. 10 months ago on Google
    I’ve been here several times over the last 3 years and I’ve always had an amazing experience with the place. The clinic can’t help how busy they are but they’ve always tried their best to accommodate me and my requests. I normally see Dr. Williams and I am incredibly lucky for that but Dr. Roy is also a consummate professional.

  • 1/5 Anna M. 1 year ago on Google
    Arrived at 7 but should have come earlier because there were already 10 people in line, then had to wait 6 hours in the clinic to be seen. You’re only allowed to talk about one health concern otherwise you have to come back. Only one physician available to see all of the people and takes 30 minutes per person.

  • 1/5 Ben P. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely slow. Long wait times! I arrived at 7:15 and there was already a long cue. Three hours in and still haven't seen a physician.

  • 1/5 Liam F. 1 year ago on Google
    Randomly closed, no mention of updated hours anywhere but their front door. What a waste of time.
