What families look for first.
Who this may be right for.
Good fit for
- Patients without a family doctor seeking walk-in access and eventual attachment to a GP
- Metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and fatty liver — Dr. Thapar is noted for detailed nutrition and lifestyle guidance
Ask first if
- Walk-in appointments cannot be booked by phone — patients must appear in person; appointment slots fill quickly, especially later in the day
- Wait times regularly run 30–60 minutes past scheduled appointment times, and the small waiting room (roughly 7 chairs) can leave patients standing
- Cancelling or missing a scheduled appointment may result in being permanently blocked from rebooking, even with advance notice given
A calmer first step.

Questions families actually ask.
Can I book a walk-in appointment by phone? +
According to multiple reviewers, One Health Associate Medical requires patients to come in person to book walk-in appointments — phone bookings are not accepted. Slots fill up early in the day, so arriving when the clinic opens is strongly advised by past patients.
Does the clinic accept patients who do not have a family doctor? +
Several reviewers mention coming to the clinic specifically because they lacked a GP, and some were successfully attached to a family doctor there. The clinic appears to serve both walk-in and registered family-practice patients.
What should I know about the cancellation policy? +
At least one reviewer reports being told that any missed or cancelled appointment — even when advance notice was given — results in a permanent ban from rebooking. Patients are advised to confirm the current cancellation policy directly with the clinic before scheduling.
How long should I expect to wait past my appointment time? +
Multiple reviewers note that scheduled appointments commonly run 30 minutes to an hour late. Patients are encouraged to plan extra time when visiting, even for booked appointments.
Is the clinic able to help with metabolic or nutrition-related concerns? +
Several reviewers specifically praise Dr. Thapar for his detailed approach to conditions such as insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and fatty liver disease, citing meaningful health improvements with his nutritional and lifestyle guidance. Patients dealing with these concerns may find his approach particularly thorough.
Are walk-in services available for children and toddlers? +
Reviewers describe bringing young children and toddlers to the walk-in service with varying experiences — one family had a positive outcome on Christmas Eve, while another drove from out of town only to be turned away after being told space was available. Availability can change quickly, so calling ahead to confirm before traveling a long distance is advisable.
