Our Services

Most of the medical services offered at our medical clinic are covered by your provincial medical insurance (MSI) so it is important to bring your Health Card with you when you visit the clinic. Some of the services that we offer are not covered by MSI so the cost of these services is the responsibility of the patient. The clinic accepts debit and cash (no credit cards) and will issue a receipt for any services for which the patients incurs a charge. Please review our list of services to see where a fee might be applicable.
