HOW IT WORKS
Seen in three steps.
Walk in or call
No appointment needed. Drop by during pharmacy hours or call ahead — whatever's easiest.
Private assessment
A pharmacist reviews your symptoms, history, and medications in a short, private consultation.
Prescription in hand
If appropriate, we prescribe and fill your treatment on the spot — you leave with what you need.
QUESTIONS
Good to know.
Is this covered by OHIP?
Yes — the assessment is free with a valid Ontario health card. You only pay for the medication itself, if one is prescribed (and that may be covered by your drug plan).
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome, no appointment needed.
What happens during the assessment?
A pharmacist takes you through a short, private consultation — symptoms, history, and current medications. If appropriate, they prescribe treatment and can fill it right away.
Can children be assessed?
Yes, many of the 28 conditions apply to children — including diaper rash, head lice, impetigo, and pinworms. A parent or guardian must be present.
FEELING UNWELL?
Skip the waiting room.
