Walk-In Clinic at Walmart Salmon Arm by Jack Nathan Health

I was on vacation at Shuswap Lake and came down with a painful ear infection. I caught a ride into Salmon Arm first thing in the morning hoping to get some help and called ahead on my cell phone and this clinic was the only one that answered my call. The receptionist was very friendly and accommodating and although I could not make the appointment opening they offered me later in the day , they suggested if I was willing to wait in the parking lot they might be able to squeeze me in. I got dropped off and called on my cell phone and was lucky enough to get in to see a doctor quite quickly and she was extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. I was in and out in under an hour and able to enjoy the rest of my vacation! I can't say enough about how positive my experience was. Thank you and well done!

The lady doctor at the Salmon Arm Walmart walk in clinic saved my life! I came in after three days of back pain in April hoping for some muscle relaxants. Even though it was a few minutes before closing she looked at me and sent me straight to the hospital emergency with a letter stating I was "experiencing crescendo angina." Ì was admitted to intensive care., diagnosed with a heart attack and received a stent. If it wasn't for my wonderful young son-in-law who literally dragged me to the clinic and the wonderful doctor at the walk in I wouldn't be alive today. I was a healthy mid-fifties female and yes in woman heart attacks "present themselves differently. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I just moved here from Manitoba and had to leave with out having a long awaited for surgery. Finding doctors across Canada is a tough project. I entered the walk in clinic and was greated by very helpful and pleasant staff. It was lunch time and was told to come back at 1255. When i arrived i waited no more than 5 mins. The doctor was very helpful and knowledgeable. Very pleasant. Although not accepting new patients at this time she immediately made me referrals to get the surgical process started. I believe that the frustration not only lies within the patient but with the physicians as well. They can not be expected to work 24 hours a day but they did their best to see that i was not forgotten in the doctor shortage. Thanks again.

Be prepared to wait. It may be due to a walk in being mixed with a proper Drs office, but for a normal visit they're averaging 1.5 hours.
