Set up at a new location closer to the heart of our community, Polyclinic Medical Centre has opened its doors - promising a leading-edge medical experience.

Seeking medical help can often be a stressful and time-consuming task, but it doesn’t have to be. At a short walk from Finch and Dufferin, the Medical Centre is ready to work, and thoroughly equipped to deal with our community’s needs.

“It is a bigger, newer facility,” said Dr. Lew Pliamm, head of the practice, adding that our community now houses “the largest medical mall in Canada”

The new facility offers advanced and comprehensive care. A single location provides two dental and sleep clinics, equipped with CPAP therapy. Just down the building’s hall, two medical labs offer multiple tests, such as ultrasounds and ECG. A fully-equipped rehabilitation institute has also opened its doors, and will soon be followed by a North York Endoscopy Centre. Close to the building’s entrance, there is a foot care clinic, next to a fully-stocked pharmacy.

Eleven family doctors are available by appointment and walk-in, and are accepting new patients. They are seeing patients six days a week, and at extended hours.

Polyclinic Medical Centre also values accessibility. Located at 2 Champagne Drive, the nearest bus stop is steps away from its main doors. For those arriving by car, the clinic offers five hundred parking spots, free of charge.

The new and improved Polyclinic provides us advanced care at the heart of our community. Its new specialists and environment promise to centralize our health care needs in one location - as Dr. Pliamm calls it, a “one-stop shop.”
