As
a
previous
medical
assistant
with
experience
at
numerous
walk-in
clinics
across
Ontario,
I
would
not
recommend
this
clinic.
The
receptionists
are
very
unprofessional,
rude,
and
incompetent.
I
asked
the
receptionist
at
the
front
if
they
received
my
online
registration
information,
as
I
am
looking
for
a
female
physician.
She
right
away
told
me
that
the
clinic
is
not
accepting
new
patients.
I
was
very
confused
because
their
website
clearing
states
“new
patients
register
here”.
She
said
rudely,
“The
clinic
is
taking
new
patients,
but
we
do
not
have
a
family
doctor,
only
walk-ins!”
I
proceeded
to
tell
her
that
I
needed
to
see
a
female
physician
and
asked
her
if
I
could
consistently
book
with
one
female
doctor.
She
said
that
I
could
book
with
one
doctor.
I
agreed
and
asked
her
to
book
an
appointment
as
I
already
registered
online.
I
again
mentioned
that
I
did
not
receive
a
confirmation
response
from
the
clinic
regarding
my
registration
within
the
suggested
48-hour
period.
She
told
me
to
sit
down.
Then,
gestured
to
a
girl
on
the
phone
explaining
that
she
takes
care
of
new
registrations
and
bookings.
I
waited
until
the
“booking”
receptionist
had
finished
her
phone
call.
Once
she
finished
her
call
two
patients
entered.
She
proceeds
to
check
them
in
and
completely
ignores
me.
She
then
says
from
her
desk
across
the
room,
“I
will
take
you
after
I
check
these
patients
in.”
Two
other
receptionists
were
available
and
I
was
under
the
impression
that
she
handles
patient
bookings,
so
I
was
unsure
as
to
why
she
had
to
check-in
these
patients.
Anyways,
I
patiently
waited
my
turn.
Then,
the
“booking”
receptionist
says
while
pointing
at
me,
“Hey,
come
to
the
front
desk.”
I
thought
that
was
very
unprofessional.
At
the
front
desk,
I
told
her
that
I
registered
online
and
would
like
to
see
a
female
physician.
She
right
away
said
that
they
are
not
accepting
new
patients.
I
told
her
that
I
have
been
notified
from
her
colleague
and
needed
to
book
an
appointment
with
a
female
walk-in
doctor.
She
pulled
up
my
file
and
mentioned
that
I
was
in
the
system.
Then
she
booked
my
appointment
and
asked
the
reason
for
my
visit.
I
mentioned
that
I
needed
a
certain
test
to
be
completed
and
was
more
comfortable
with
a
female
physician.
She
booked
the
appointment
two
weeks
away.
I
asked
about
their
policies
regarding
changing
the
date,
etc.
She
said
I
could
book
online
and
that
I
would
only
need
to
give
48
hours
notice
for
cancellations.
I
went
home
and
onto
their
patient
portal.
I
saw
an
appointment
with
another
female
physician
available
in
the
next
two
days.
I
am
not
sure
why
the
“booking”
receptionist
couldn’t
book
me
in
sooner
when
this
was
clearly
indicated
on
their
patient
portal.
Fast
forward
to
the
day
of
my
appointment
(2
days
later).
Three
hours
before
my
appointment,
I
receive
a
call
from
the
clinic
and
the
receptionist
said,
“I
need
to
cancel
your
appointment!”
I
was
very
confused
and
asked
why.
She
said
that
I
needed
a
referral
from
my
family
physician.
I
let
the
person
on
the
phone
know
that
the
“booking”
receptionist
never
mentioned
a
referral.
Also,
in
two
weeks,
I
was
booked
in
for
the
same
appointment
with
a
female
physician.
I
found
an
earlier
appointment
and
booked
myself
in
online
through
their
patient
portal.
The
woman
on
the
phone
said,
“I
need
to
let
her
(“booking”
receptionist)
know
that
for
this
appointment
you
need
a
referral.”
WAIT…isn’t
this
the
person
in
charge
of
booking??
Now,
three
hours
before
my
appointment
I
am
being
notified
that
I
need
a
referral.
Not
once
did
the
woman
apologize
for
the
“booking”
receptionist.
She
was
rude
and
put
me
on
hold
to
speak
to
another
patient
mid
sentence.
She
was
disrespectful
and
did
not
care
that
she
wasted
my
time.
Thus,
if
you
value
kindness,
respect,
your
time,
knowledgeable
staff,
and
professionalism
go
to
another
walk-in
clinic.
I
would
not
recommend!
