Minor Ailment Assessments in Stoney Creek
Assessment and treatment for common conditions, no appointment with a doctor needed.
Ontario pharmacists can assess and prescribe treatment for a defined list of common conditions, and our team handles all of them. Whether you're in Stoney Creek, Hamilton, or Burlington, you can be assessed and treated without a doctor's appointment or a walk-in clinic wait.
A pharmacist will ask about your symptoms and health history, assess whether the condition is appropriate to treat at the pharmacy, and prescribe or recommend treatment on the spot. If your symptoms need more than we can offer, we'll tell you plainly and point you to the right next step rather than guessing.
