But if you want to be seen as quick as possible, the best place in Ontario for walk-in medical services is Brampton, which will get you on the exam table on average in 18 minutes compared to Toronto where the average time is 30 minutes.

The worst wait times provincially are in Nova Scotia where the average is 69 minutes. The city where patients will wait the longest is Sidney, B.C., where the normal wait time is three hours.

This is according to a new study from the 2019 Medimap Clinic Wait Time Index.

Seventy per cent of clinics nationally are registered with Medimap, which update their wait times every 30 minutes.

“Many Canadians rely on walk-in clinics when they need to see a doctor,” said Blake Adam, CEO of Medimap.
