History:

Originally located at Acadia and Taylor, Lakeside Medical Clinic moved to the College Park Mall in 1994 and after 26 years, in August 2020, moved to a new office at 215 Joseph Okemasis Drive, on the corner of McKercher and College Drive.

This new purpose built medical center has pharmacy, medical imaging, physiotherapy, bracing/orthotists, dentistry, ENT specialists and optometry on premises. The office is a few minutes from Royal University Hospital and the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.

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

The Urgent Care facility, located on the main floor, has 10 exam rooms, 2 procedure rooms and a large waiting room.

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.
