We uphold strong ethical standards in both patient care and staff policies, and we work collaboratively with the broader medical community. We embrace efficiency and innovation to support excellence and ensure the long-term sustainability of our services.

We are dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable workplace that encourages professionalism, personal growth, and the development of individual strengths. We value teamwork and strive to create a positive, supportive, and enjoyable work environment.

History

Originally located at the corner of Acadia Drive and Taylor Street, Lakeside Medical Clinic relocated to College Park Mall in 1994. After 26 years at that location, the clinic moved in August 2020 to a purpose-built facility at 215 Joseph Okemasis Drive, at the corner of McKercher Drive and College Drive.

This modern medical center offers integrated services on-site, including pharmacy, medical imaging, physiotherapy, bracing/orthotics, dentistry, ENT specialists, and optometry. The clinic is conveniently located just minutes from Royal University Hospital and Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.

Family Medicine, located on the 3rd and 4th floors, includes 32 physician offices, 68 exam rooms, 2 procedure rooms, staff and conference rooms, and spacious, comfortable waiting areas.

The Urgent Care facility on the main floor features 10 exam rooms, 2 procedure rooms, and a large waiting room designed to support efficient, patient-centered care.

Technology / Social Media:

Lakeside Medical Clinic has operated in a paperless environment by using secure electronic medical records since 1985. Lab results, x-rays and all fax documents are received electronically. As a service to patients, wait times for the walk-in clinic are posted on the home page of this web site & updated regularly throughout the day.

Note: we do not monitor Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for incoming messages from patients.
