| - This is really confusing.
Bay College Medical Centre is located at 777 Bay St. (the east side of Bay), with entrance only through the Rexall/Pharma Plus.
Bay College Medical & Lockwood Diagnostic is located at 790 Bay St. (the west side of Bay), part of a larger office building adjacent to the CIBC.
The latter is newer, takes walk-ins, and actually has a website.
The former is older, doesn't take walk-ins, and even the Google Maps link for it points to the wrong web address (http://maps.google.ca/maps/place?ie=UTF8&q=bay+college+medical&fb=1&gl=ca&hq=bay+college+medical&hnear=0x89d4cb90d7c63ba5:0x323555502ab4c477,Toronto,+ON&cid=801010546644443833&z=14)
In any case, on to the review (of Bay College Medical Centre):
I got hooked up with Dr. Albert S.C. Wong, and he's great. Relatively young, clean-looking, speaks clear and articulate English. I haven't gone to him for anything too complicated, but he's been approachable and knowledgeable from what I can tell.
The admins here are hit-and-miss: there's a young girl that is a pleasure to deal with, and an old Chinese mom who is really curt on the phone. Steel yourself a bit if you're dealing with her, and don't let her push you around.
As mentioned, entrance is only through the Rexall/Pharma Plus. The waiting area is pretty tight, and the screening rooms are old and would definitely be improved by a reno.
That said, I don't have frequent need for a GP, so I'm happy enough with the Doctor's treatment that I can let these other criticisms slide. Also, though they don't take walk-ins, I can typically call in the morning and get an appointment the same day.

Note: I put up an accurate streetview cap of this clinic. The other one is wrong, and certainly isn't helping.
