At Care 1st Medical Centre we implement walk-ins in two ways:
1. You can walk in anytime between 8am to 8pm with your medical concern and see one of our physicians. **
2. You can book a walk-in appointment with one of our receptionists in order to better cater to your convenience.
Walk-in appointments are for acute care issues only (urinary tract infections, minor injuries etc.)
The walk-in physician will address one issue during each visit. If you have additional issues, please book an appointment with your family physician or return to the clinic for another walk-in appointment.
** PLEASE NOTE: Should the walk-in clinic experience a high volume of patients we may have to stop registration at our discretion. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. **
Policies
Cancellation Policy
Booked walk-ins are considered booked appointments and are subject to the same policies. Cancellations for booked walk-ins must be made at least 24 business hours in advance, by phone or in person, with a live individual. Answering machine messages will not be accepted. Cancellations less than 24 business hours may be subject to a fee, depending on the appointment type.
Late Appointment Policy
If a patient is more than 5 minutes late, that will be considered a missed appointment and the appropriate fee will apply.
OHIP Policy
A valid health card is required for all OHIP visits. If your health card is invalid or expired, a fee will be charged, which may later be reimbursed with the proper valid documentation.
Prescription Refill
Please note that if your prescription was not originally given by one of our physicians, it is NOT considered a ”refill”, and it is to the discretion of the physician to prescribe the medication. Our walk-in clinic does not fill prescriptions for: Narcotics, Controlled Substances, Anti-psychotics, Anti-depressants, and performance enhancing drugs including Viagra and Cialis
