Victoria Park Medical Suites

Warning! Don’t let the low cost foul you! There’s always a catch!
–This place does have the cheapest price for Immigration Medical Exam that u need for a VISA (Its all in one package that includes X-​ray that u need for $ 250 but other places do offer same ALLinONE package at different prices).
–But the BIGGEST!!! downside is what happens if you DON’T pass! In other word unhealthy or have a medical problem. (Which is 85% of people now a days.)
–Parking is by far the fucking worst! There is no set parking lot. If you park on the Main Street in front of the bath&kitchen store Parking cost $ 3Hr, if u park in front of the building its $ 2Hr but real problem is finding a parking! good Luck with that.
–So if u don’t pass and have some medical problem like my Partner that has a Low Blood count they wanted us to come in and pay $ 40 for a follow up just to read is the results they Emailed us and ask questions they could just call us for. So now the Doc said to come in again for full Lab test that COST $ 130! In my opinion we did not need to come in for a $ 40 follow up when they could have just told us the Lab test will cost $ 130 because the Email already said what’s wrong! SMH pointless to have charge us $ 40 to read us our results.
–Not to mention gas! This place is in the city! I don’t live in the city and it costs me $ 15 each trip! to and from there. I’ve been there 3x times and the Lab test will make it 4x times.
So I will be paying $ 420 for the Exam and have spent $ 60 in gas to get back in forth every once a week of a months times. In TOTAL $ 480. Do your homework and ask questions before hand and committing to this place.

This new medical centre (just a few months old) smidged near Victoria Park is small but super hygienic (which is very important for a medical centre) and has the most kind and attentive staff I have ever met — they remember their registered members and are very generous, once I had an infection and they gave me some band aids and sterile dressings that could last me for the next few days so I didn’t have to instantly go to the pharmacy from there, and when I had an immunisation the nurse kindly printed me an information sheet about FAQ’s regarding my immunisation — she did all of this even though I didn’t ask her to, which I find is an act that shows how thoughtful the staff is there.
The doctors also give you options to use generic medication (which as a student is really important for me as I don’t have that much money to spend on branded medications), and if you are registered with them their prices for check ups are really cheap (I forgot how much but I think it was between $ 5 to $ 15) and to top it off, the receptionists are also helpful, and their waiting room has a TV, magazine, and water (even though you probably won’t be waiting long since their service is pretty fast)
