  Terrible experience. Waited outside before the clinic opened in order to be one of the first few people in line. Due to staff disorganization, myself and many people who had also waited to were not properly registered in proper order and had to wait extra long just to see a doctor. Staff here have a "not my problem" attitude and did not care at all to deal with the issue. They are completely apathetic. If you have any choice, avoid this clinic.

  Going on three hours of waiting to get a prescription renewed. Have been watching other patients come and go. An emergency room is faster than this dump

  Worst place ever. 3 hours in the damn waiting room. A person might as well die. Dont bother wasting 3-4 hours of yor life. Other clinics do it in 1 hour.

  Absolutely horrendous. My girlfriend and I went here after she cut her finger opening a can. It was maybe 5:45 at night on a Thursday. We ended up at this Appletree after we tried another one in centretown and were turned away as they were closing. When we arrived here, it was pretty quick to see the doctor. However the doctor was odd and immediately began shaming my girlfriend for coming into see a doctor and how he could instead be home spending time with his granddaughter. I think he maybe meant it in a half serious way but it still did not come off great as my girlfriend had no choice, needed stitches, and this was the only place open in town on a Thursday night without going to the ER. Once the doctor stopped making us feel bad for coming in, he proceeded to get the materials for stitching up my girlfriend’s finger. He was making conversation and seemed distracted through the process. As normal procedure, most doctors wash their hands when they enter the room. But I was getting nervous because he failed to do so and I was waiting for him to do it before he started the procedure. When he got to the point of lifting the stitching tools and proceeding to begin the operation I interrupted and asked him to wash his hands. He did but it was awkward and didn’t instill confidence in me. I should have probably stopped and walked out at this point and just gone to the ER, but I figured he should be able to do a basic stitch otherwise he wouldn’t be employed. Also it was better than my girlfriend waiting with a bleeding finger for a few hours. So the doctor completed the operation but he did a really shoddy job. The stitch work looked really bad and he said not to worry because it would heal up fine. A couple weeks later it did heal up fine, but now my girlfriend has an ugly scar on her finger where the skin was not stitched straight. I recommend only going to Appletree as a last resort. You are better off going to the ER or another clinic like UOttawa.

  My wife went to get her allergy shots today...like every other week... when she finally saw the doctor he tells her he can't do allergy shots... so he sends her home with them to find someone else to do them before they expire tomorrow... 15 dollars for parking.... please don't go here... appletree is bad but this one makes the rest look better
