What is Kootenay Lake Walk-In Medical
Clinic?
Kootenay Lake Medical Clinic is able to provide medical
service 7 days a week for all local area residents and for tourists.
We are developing in to a full care medical clinic but hope to retain
the Walk-in aspect at all times, due to it's popular reception in
the Nelson area. Our doctors provide quality primary care including
everything from medical examinations (pap smears, full physicals,
drivers etc.) to minor surgical procedures (including suturing). Coverage
is as per any Doctor's office in B.C. i.e. Medical Services Plan applies
to all covered services. The Clinic was opened in September of 1998.
This Website will be developing to meet the needs of the 21st Century
patient and we will hope to provide information on using the internet
to assist your personal health management.We have a great patient
links website--check it out-we welcome the challenge to our doctors
knowledge--help keep them all up to date! . Medical Advice cannot
be offered directly over the internet.
How long will I have to wait?
All cases at the clinic are seen on first-come first-served basis
but we request some flexibility with relative emergencies like suturing,
or children in distress. We thank you for your patience in such cases.
Please feel free to inquire at the desk for approximate waiting times.
What should
I do if my case seems too serious for your clinic?
In an emergency case or if unable to contact a clinic doctor, please
proceed to the Kootenay Lake Emergency Department. Please consider
calling first if you are uncertain as to whether a given emergency
or suturing job can be dealt with in our clinic. We have had patients
remove themselves from the wait at Emergency at the hospital, only
to find we could not deal with the complexity of the case at our clinic.
Who are the doctors working at the clinic?
We have four or five doctors currently working solely
or part-time at the clinic. Click DOCTORS
to see the list.
