What Our Patients Say About Choosing Care& Over Walk-In Clinics

Don’t just take our word for it. See how Care& Family Health
is changing the lives of thousands of families right now.

After years of dreading walk in clinic visits, Care& has completely changed my expectations. I booked at 9am, had my appointment at 2pm the same day, and the Nurse Practitioner spent a full 30 minutes with me. Worth every penny to avoid the typical walk in experience.

Bill

I needed treatment for a UTI and couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a walk in clinic for hours. With Care&, I booked a virtual appointment for that afternoon, got my prescription sent directly to my pharmacy, and started treatment the same day. This is how healthcare should work!

Natasha

Best decision I’ve ever made! I have had many unfortunate experiences of trusting my care and health with past family doctors; only to feel disappointed and frustrated after every visit. At Care&… it’s a dream. You have little to no wait time, the admin staff are all pleasant and nice, you can book appointments for the next day, you have access to your lab reports (it’s not some ridiculous secret) and their attention and focus is on YOU. I can’t see myself needing or wanting to change clinics ever again – and what a relief! Thank you Care&. You’re all rockstars.

Naz

My experience at Care Family Health Team was wonderful. My nurse practitioner Tara MacLeod was outstanding. She listened to all my concerns. Was thorough, professional and very compassionate. I am so glad I am a patient here now. I am bringing my family and have recommended your practice to many friends. No waits and beautiful comfortable healthcare office. Thank you!

Astrid

Friendly, went through everything needed. Listened. Proactive. Appointment was slotted for thirty mins. Never even when I needed it did I ever get 30 mins with my GP. Seems to be way of future for getting your healthcare needs met. Very pleased.

Alethea

Very happy to have found this place, it’s the most modern and clean facility that I have been in since I arrived to Canada, easy booking process, attentive practitioner, and what I have liked the most is that you have direct access to all your records in the app, after bad experiences with walk in clinics and family practices that charge you to have a copy of your own results. From now on my family and I won’t be going to anywhere else.ture for getting your healthcare needs met. Very pleased.

Got Questions? We Have Answers

Care& offers a fundamentally different experience from traditional walk-in clinics. Instead of unpredictable waiting for hours, you book a specific appointment time and are seen promptly without waiting room delays. You’ll receive a comprehensive 30-minute consultation with a qualified Nurse Practitioner—roughly four times longer than typical walk-in visits. Our medical clinic provides continuity with digital health records, on-site lab services, and a thorough approach that addresses your complete health concern in one visit. While our $100 per-visit fee differs from OHIP-covered walk-in clinics, patients consistently find the value in receiving thorough, dignified care without the frustration, rushed service, and fragmented treatment common at traditional walk-in facilities.

Yes! Care& Family Health typically offers same-day or next-day appointments for Episodic Healthcare visits at both our Yorkville and Lawrence Park locations. Our efficient scheduling system is specifically designed to accommodate urgent care needs, unlike traditional primary care where you might wait weeks. While availability varies based on the day and current demand, we maintain flexible scheduling that prioritizes timely access. If you can’t find a suitable same-day appointment at your preferred location, we can often accommodate you at our other Toronto location or through a virtual appointment option. This commitment to accessibility ensures you receive care when you need it, not weeks later when your condition may have worsened.

Our Episodic Healthcare service can address nearly any non-emergency health concern you’d typically take to a walk-in clinic. This includes respiratory issues (colds, flu, COVID symptoms, asthma flare-ups), infections (urinary tract, ear, eye, skin), injuries and pain (sprains, strains, minor burns, back pain), women’s and men’s health concerns (UTIs, STI testing, birth control), digestive problems (nausea, food poisoning, heartburn), and quick medical services like prescription renewals and medical notes. Our Nurse Practitioners have the same diagnostic and prescribing authority as physicians for primary care issues. For any concerns requiring emergency care (chest pain, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing), we recommend going directly to the nearest emergency department.

No, OHIP is not required for Episodic Healthcare visits at Care& Family Health. Our $100 per-visit service operates outside the provincial insurance system, which means anyone can access our care regardless of provincial health coverage status. This makes our service particularly valuable for visitors to Toronto, newcomers waiting for OHIP coverage, or those without valid health cards. While Care& services aren’t directly covered by OHIP, many patients receive reimbursement through private insurance plans via healthcare spending accounts, paramedical benefits, or nurse practitioner coverage. We provide detailed receipts with all information typically required for insurance claims, though coverage varies by provider and specific plan details.

Absolutely! Many of our Family Practice members started with an Episodic Healthcare visit and decided they wanted ongoing care with the same Nurse Practitioner. If you enjoy your experience and want unlimited access to our comprehensive care model, you can easily upgrade to our Family Practice membership ($450/year) at any time. When you upgrade, you’ll gain unlimited in-person and virtual appointments, on-site lab services, chronic disease management, mental health support, and full access to our digital health platform—all without additional per-visit charges. This seamless transition allows you to maintain continuity with the same healthcare provider and clinic, ensuring your complete health history stays in one integrated system.
