I've been dealing with this clinic on and off for probably close to 5 years now and I have never had a single experience that wasn't above and beyond amazing. The staff that work there were made for that place, the second you walk through the front door your greeted and welcomed in, from that point on regardless which employee your dealing with at the moment they are compassionate, understanding, empathetic, kind, caring, respectful, polite and you just know that they truly want nothing more then to help you in anyway they can, and to see you succeed with the program they offer. I'd just like

The staff here are so friendly, helpful, and non-judgemental. You can walk in or make an appointment and they will do everything they can to help you out: Even if you are coming from out of province they will help with your AB Health card, a social worker will help you set up your welfare if needed, and the Dr. will write you a Drs notes if needed. There are so many resources they will help you to get in touch with as well! I've never felt so helped and taken care of--healthcare wise--as I did with the staff at Metro City Health Clinic. I highly recommend these great workers and Drs to anyone that

Pharmacy staff at this location are a huge factor in why I chose this clinic and why I continue to go here instead of a pharmacy that's closer to my neighbourhood. The entire staff at this clinic are easy going, understanding, and easy to communicate with for whatever reason.
