No clinic wait.
Since June 2023, British Columbia pharmacists can assess and prescribe for a growing list of minor ailments — and for contraception — without a doctor's appointment. Visit Argyle Pharmacy in Port Alberni for fast, professional care without the wait. Serving Port Alberni and the Alberni Valley. Walk-ins welcome, seven days a week.
Much faster than a clinic
Often treated on the same visit — no waiting days for an appointment you may not get.
Prescribing authority
Our pharmacists can assess, prescribe and fill on the spot where it is clinically appropriate.
Assessment covered
The pharmacist assessment is covered for eligible BC residents. You may have a cost for the medication itself depending on your coverage.
A real clinical assessment
A thorough assessment by a registered pharmacist — not a quick look over the counter.
Referral when needed
If your condition needs a physician or emergency care, we say so and point you straight there. You are never left without a next step.
