There is excellent income potential through fee-for-service billing and an overhead contribution of 30%. Shift hours are Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, with flexi-time options available. An average of 20-50 patient appointments a day are seen virtually, and in-person, optional hospital obstetrics can be included. There is no walk-in service; however, if a physician wishes to pursue the service, it can be arranged for a Saturday. Electronic medical records are maintained through MedAccess, and the Office Manager will take care of scheduling, banking, and billing.

The Clinic is a relaxed and friendly environment with helpful staff. There are six examination rooms and, in addition, one minor surgery room. The mezzanine level consists of two offices and a coffee lounge. There is free undercover secure parking, and patient parking is free. The building is also home to two gynecologists/obstetricians and a dental office.
