The past two years have been very difficult ones and we recognize that many of you are excited about the upcoming easing of restrictions. We are looking forward to the time when we can see each of you face-to-face, unmasked, in the office. However, we are a healthcare facility. Therefore, for everyone’s safety, it is important that all our staff and anyone coming into the clinic continue to wear masks.
Important Announcement
We are pleased to announce that we have become a Family Health Organization (FHO) and have joined forces with the Watson Medical Clinic (located just west of us at 561 Eglinton Ave. West) to form a larger FHO. The FHO is one of the newer models of care designed to improve your accessibility to your primary care provider for urgent concerns and avoid unnecessary use of walk-in clinics or the Emergency Department. Because your health record is with us, this ensures better care.
As a result, we are making some important changes.

NO WALK INS WILL BE ACCEPTED:
• Appointments are required to see a doctor or nurse.
• Appointments are required for the flu shot and any other vaccinations or shots.
