Dr Shamim Jetha is amazing and she has been my doctor for 14 years. She is down to earth, caring and takes the time to talk to you about your health. The office can get busy and sometimes there is a bit of a wait as with most all busy clinics however it is worth it. I always feel supported and dont mind if I have to wait a bit. I love her receptionists also, they are organized and super personable. I feel grateful to have such a supportive medical clinic to go to.

Report
This clinic lies about wait times to draw in walk-in patients, meanwhile the doctors are talking to their existing patients on the phone. Stop lying about wait times on medimap! Waiting now for almost 60 minutes when at time of entry wait time was marked as 10 minutes, currently 0 minutes! Dishonest and untrustworthy. People have lives and during covid, accurate wait times are important for health considerations, let alone respect for our time.

Dr Shamim Jetha has taken very good and personal care of me for the last few months since I can't find a family doctor with room to take me on. She even helped me with insurance forms for ICBC and other medical issues along the way. Thank you Dr Jetha! :)

Came in as a walk-in for Dr. Magno. She was very thorough. Wait time was longer than listed but not unreasonable! Great location but hard to find parking. Reception was very polite and did all COVID screening prior to me coming in.

Report
I went to my regular walk in clinic to find out it was at capacity at 10 am, so came here as medimap told me it was a 30 minute wait. The receptionist was going to book me until she found out I had not been here before and just needed the results of an ultrasound from UBC. Suddenly they were at capacity. She ignored me and answered the phone. I went to the clinic at Granville and 12th which had a longer wait time on medimap and also had not seen me before, but they saw me within 10 minutes.
