All visits to our clinic are by appointment and will be booked with your regular doctor. If you have forms or notes for completion, please let staff know this at the time of booking. There will be additional charges for these services. Please complete as much of the form as you can with your information to ensure timely completion.

Attending your Appointment – Steps for Safety
-
We will see patients with respiratory tract infections - we encourage patients to perform a rapid antigen test for COVID and report the result to us. We will see patients with COVID infection, but will need to accommodate the booking in order to reduce risk to the others in our office. Therefore, informing us of a positive test would be helpful to manage your access.
-
To enter the clinic, one may walk around the pharmacy building to access the main front door off of Bank Street OR you may walk through Shoppers Drug mart and access the sliding door to our unit to the left of the pharmacy.
-
We are restricting visits to 15 minutes.
Rescheduling or Cancelling Appointments
Booking an appointment means that time has been reserved for you. This is particularly important during these times, as we aim to maintain our encounters and reduce unnecessary visits to the emergency department. If you miss an appointment without 24 hours notice, you will be billed at the Ontario Medical Association suggested rates to the discretion of your provider.
After Hours Coverage
As a member of Walkley Medical Centre, you are entitled to access to your regular doctor or another doctor in the group during cross-coverage sessions for urgent matters only. Due to Ministry of Health requirements for Family Health Organizations, we are unable to continue providing urgent care to our Quebec patients during the After Hours period (evenings and weekends).
In the event that your regular doctor is unavailable and your problem is urgent, please inform the staff of the nature of the problem and we will try to accommodate you as best as we can. All doctors have a few same day bookings available for urgent matters.
Health 811 is a free, secure and confidential service you can call or access online 24 hours a day, seven days a week to get health advice from a registered nurse or find health services or information.
