Two walk-in medical care facilities serving Kitchener and Waterloo area. The clinics have been in operation since 1990 and are owned and operated by Five (5) Family & Emergency Medicine Physicians who are currently active and working at the clinics. 200-225 patients at each location per day. There are 2-3 physicians working each shift. Atmosphere is collegial and fast paced. There are 11 examining rooms at each location.
