😠 Do not go there! Horrible experiences. There are no doctors available, EVER. Only doctor associates work there. The receptionist are very rude and the worst thing is they have misdiagnosed me on the last time I was there. I had to go to the emergency room the next day due to their misdiagnoses. Also... People often mention time, clinic, doctor, work, experience, told, blood, doctors, hours, medication,

    Do not go there! Horrible experiences. There are no doctors available, EVER. Only doctor associates work there. The receptionist are very rude and the worst thing is they have misdiagnosed me on the last time I was there. I had to go to the emergency room the next day due to their misdiagnoses. Also, I observed the racial profiling happen, where 2 Caucasian families were turned away and told they were full for the day and told they needed to book appointments for the following day. The 10 min later I observed 2 dark skin families come in and were told sure no problem the doctor can see you and were told to sit and wait. This is unacceptable. I could not believe my eyes of what I was seeing and hearing. This place needs to be investigated for their conduct.

    Dr David is a well experienced physician , He checked my premie 3 days after she was discharged in April 2021 when her family physician was away and the Pediatrician at the hospital strongly advised that she should be checked within 3 days of discharge. He reassured us after her thorough checkup that she was doing great. He has a great team. They booked us and even though we were quite late, they were courteous. Also he vaccinated my toddler in 2019 with whom he was gentle. Admire his approach. Unfortunately i dont live in Vaughan otherwise i would have registered my family with him. We will keep coming back though.

    Called last night to confirm they had blood work open until 4 today. They did so I fasted and walked an hour and a half to get here from home. Turns out they closed blood work at 2. Its 230. Absolute 0 stars if it was possible. Horrible experience. I definitely need a new doctors office if they do this type of garbage! Do not use this location! I can't even go to another today because the nearest is a bus ride away and I don't have my bus pass with me so I'd have to walk about 3 hours down to rutherford and back up jane to get to it as the straight walk there is blocked by construction so it'll probably be closed by the time I made it! Worst blood work experience ever! They need to fire whoever worked last night! I even took a half day off work to come here so it is actually costing me money!

    Dr Tanzima diagnosed us today, Jul 14, 2022. She was very friendly and patient. She explained the symptoms to us in details. Also, instructed us how to take the medications, what to expect and what to do if the symptoms get worsen; then what to do next. I was surprised that she prescribed all the meds that we need for the time being, because our family doctors have been off for a while. Not like the Urgent care clinic on Jane St.. I took my dad there last year when he needed help. They just plainly said that there not much they could do, except, checking temperature and blood pressure; then they told us going to a hospital emergency near by. What a waste of time and money that OHIP paid them for. Anyhow, many thanks to MedCare Clinics @ Walmart Vaughan Northwest, especially, Dr. Tanzima - keep up the good work Doc!

    Very friendly and amazing doctor's. Went walking with my daughter it was fast and the doctor was amazing he explain everything in details to my daughter.

    The receptionist & doctor here were polite however, rather useless. What's the point of having a walk in clinic when the only thing you can realistically do when seeing a patient is give them the answer "no I can't do thay". "I don't know your gill medical history". " you should really talk to your family doctor". If those were possible would I really waste my time to go to a random walk on clinic? If you can prescribe anything other than generic over the counter medication than there is no use for a clinic such as this one and we should use our tax dollars in a more effective and efficient way.

    This is the second time I have come to this clinic for a problem I had that the doctor both times made it seem as if nothing was wrong or the symptoms I had were minor. However I went to another doctor at a different clinic who right there told me the problem I was having and gave me the medication that was needed. Then I receive a call from this clinic telling me my results are negative (yet already on medication from another doctor). Very disappointed as this is the second time I have been sent home with no help to a situation that can develop and get worse over time. I will be finding another clinic to go to as I do not feel that my health is a concern when attending this facility.

    Recently visited here just to Atleast get a decent answer to my symptoms or “allergies”. it took almost 3 hours after they said it would be half that time. Just to meet someone who basically had nothing new or useful that i couldn’t google or figure out on my own. so not a productive visit at all imo

    I went to another walk in clinic last week where I was being rushed out - They provided me a lab work up requisition and stated that I would need to find another practitioner to complete the remaining services I required. I visited this Medcare location, completed the lab work, told them my situation and they were kind enough to have me see a physician assistant that day. Tanzima was thorough, listened to my concerns, completed her assessment while performing that final test I needed. The staff generally are quite nice seeing as it is a busy clinic and burn out is real. I will be returning to this clinic.

    Staff doesn't have proper information about their service timings. I need my blood work done one of their staff members ask me to come on Sunday empty stomach. I went their on Sunday empty stomach for my test and other staff member rudely said that they will not do any blood work on Sunday. I was so upset . And they have their own attitude.Worthless ...

    I wish I could rate it zero or even negative. Do not go there, you will be waiting for a long time, and you will be face with rude receptionist that really can not understand you, your questions, and situations. Everytime that I asked something she really responded in the worst case. It was the last time for me and I'm leaving here so upset and angry.

    Very bad experience!!!! They close at 7 we went there at 6.15 but not taking any patients.. why you guys have a open sign until 7 . Just do 6pmm.....very inconvenient for patients...

  • 1/5 Richard W. 1 year ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Would love to leave a good review, but both times we've tried to come here it's turned us away. The first time, the staff at the desk said they'd already reached their quota of patients for the day. The second time, we showed up four hours before their advertised closing - and the door was locked, lights off, and a notice saying they had reached quota and were not seeing any more patients that day was stuck to the door. What is the point of operating a walk-in clinic with posted hours if they mean nothing?

    I am sure that the health dept. and the #ministryofhealth is not watching over these clinics anymore. Canadians lives matter, we heard this in many occasions but the truth is not. My story I went there at 6 pm 2 hours before closing with 2 of my kids carrying one on my shoulders with affected eye to register them to diagnose to see if it’s worth it to go emergency or not, the answer was sorry we can’t take them as we are fully booked until closing turning me back home with no hope and no where to go. My question is if this walk in clinic is operating not as a family doctor then i am correct they should take walk ins not by appointment but they’re doing whatever they want with the absence of enforcement by this government. It’s a business and by running it they making money without caring about Canadians lives and kids. I hope that one day someone will rule this country and give our lives what it’s worth it. The health system is really down since some blood suckers control and run business, I was thinking that doctors have promised and they have hearts more that anyone in the world but today I found that am wrong and it’s a business similar to any business with no ethics and the role of stepping at each others performed

    I would strongly recommend not seeing Dr. Freedman if you're seeking mental health care. I was diagnosed with OCD a year ago and I started seeing him just before, during, and immediately after my diagnosis. Now I'm well into my recovery and feeling so much better, but looking back on things, Dr. Freedman was belittling and gave me very incorrect and actually detrimental advice for OCD recovery. He told me to avoid my OCD triggers, when actually avoidance is a compulsion and it just fuels the cycle of OCD. And it did make my OCD way worse for the time that I was seeing him and he was mis-advising me. Additionally, when I told him I was concerned because I was sleeping about 12+ hours a night (which I now know is common with untreated OCD because it's mentally exhausting) he laughed and said he supposed my classes weren't very hard if I was sleeping that much. He never acknowledged that symptom or help me increase my energy, but decided to just tease me and make a joke out of it instead. Moreover, my body wasn't tolerating SSRIs well and Dr. Freedman shamed me for not sticking to mediation trials for longer than a couple weeks when I was really nauseous and sick on them. He said I needed to take medication to get better, but he was so wrong. ERP therapy is the gold standard treatment for OCD (not medication!) and Dr. Freedman did not mention the gold standard treatment option to me once. ERP worked wonders for me and I never did get on medication. Now I have many friends with OCD and I meet people with OCD weekly in my support group and it turns out only about 30% of people with OCD who I've met use and benefit from medication (the other 70%, like me, are in recovery and doing great without medication)! Overall, seeing Dr. Freedman was incredibly invalidating and actually made my OCD worse for the time that I was seeing him. What made it worse is that Dr. Freedman insisted that he had tons of mental health experience so I believed his advice at the time and my OCD got worse while seeing him; I assure you there's no way Dr. Freedman has tons of experience effectively treating people with OCD. If you are newly diagnosed with OCD or suspect that you may have OCD, I think you would get a lot more out of support groups (people with OCD offer real strategies that are actually helpful for OCD and they know what you're going through). Support groups are free and easy to start right away with no waitlist (check out NOCD or IOCDF)! Moreover, getting an OCD therapist (you can search for them at the IOCDF website) will be really helpful. Good luck with your mental health recovery journey!

    only Dr freedman is good. I have been visiting this clinic for 4 years now but today my experience was so worst. the lady who came she didn’t even make an eye contact with us and just gave us a print out of google . she was rude and not really interested in helping.

  • 5/5 Alvin De C. 3 years ago on Google
    I went to get checked for high blood pressure and pain in my chest on Dec 12 evening as it was the only clinic open at the time. Both the secretary and the doctor were very professional and accommodating. All my symptoms have since resolved. I even got a follow up call checking in to see if anything got worse. A++++++

    I'm so happy with my experiences here, I have been here like 4 times. Each time the doctors heard my problems patiently, and made sure they followed up. The front desk staff is very helpful and kind.

    All staff and doctors are very helpful. Short wait times

  • 5/5 leslie l. 3 years ago on Google
    this is genuinely the first time I've had a completely positive experience at a doctors office, let alone a walk-in clinic. The front desk was very nice, quick willing and able to answer questions. I spoke with Dr. Dekel, who I believe is the physicians assistant, who was very informative, actually took the time to listen and ask questions to come to a complete understanding of what I was going through and what would work best for my situation. 10/10

    I just visited the Medicare clinics @walmart Vaughn northwest. It was almost there closing time still they took me as there patient. I am very pleased with there quick service It was a very good experience. The receptionist Christina and Dr. David Freedman were very kind, polite and soft spoken. They took a good care of me. And I believe if someone is doing a good job they deserve a good feedback. I will definitely recommend this place in future. Wonderful and warm experience from start to finish. :-)

    The worst experience I ever had. I called them regarding my son blood test, for hours and availability. As in the week day the lab start working later at 10 am and the kid have to avoid breakfast, the person on the phone guide me to come on Saturday at 9am. When we rich there at Major Mackenzie location inside the Walmart, the receptionist tell us they will start at 10 am, she just put a hand write sticker on the clinic hours. After 30 minutes she said better we go to an other lab because they may don't have the special needles do do the procedure.
