PARKING

because parking in toronto
is no easy task

The Herbal Clinic & Dispensary

Street parking is available along Roncesvalles Ave, although spaces are limited.

There are also 2 other parking lots available northwest of Dundas St. W and Bloor St. (10 minute walk from there)

Edna Ave. Parking Lot (3-39 Edna Ave); behind Dundas West. Station
Keele Station Parking Lot (1678 Bloor St W)

Urban Wellness

Street parking is available along College St. There are also several smaller side streets with parking if those spots are taken. Most have a 1hr limit of free parking.

There are also a few parking lots available close by – they are more expensive as they are parking lots (about $4 for half hour):

Canada Autoparks; entrance for the parking lot is on Palmerston Ave. just south of College St. There should be a big yellow sign with a red P at the corner to direct you. Unfortunately, the google maps location directs you to the pedestrian entrance and not the parking lot entrance.

Bathurst St. Parking (474 Bathurst St.); outdoor parking just at the corner of College St. and Bathurst St.

ACCESSIBILITY

so there are no suprises

The Herbal Clinic & Dispensary

This space has an accessibility ramp, although it doesn’t have an accessibility button. Our staff will be happy to open the door for you if needed!

Unfortunately our washrooms are not accessible as it is located downstairs, so make sure you use the washroom before coming in if you are unable to take the stairs.

Urban Wellness

This building is accessible. The main entrance has an accessibility button, and has a ramp to reach the elevators in the lobby. The elevators are a bit on the narrow side.

Unfortunately, once you get off the elevators on the 3rd floor, there are doors without accessibility buttons. The washrooms also do not have buttons but have an accessible stall. Again, our staff or myself would be happy to assist you with this if needed. Please let us know ahead of time.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE

no more awkwardness

The Herbal Clinic & Dispensary

One of our friendly staffs or I will be at the front to greet you. Just let us know you’re here for an appointment with Suki. If we are not quite ready for you yet, you can peruse the store or take a seat in front of our windows! Once we’re ready for you, we will lead you to the clinic room.

Urban Wellness

Once you enter the building, you can take the stairs or elevators to the 3rd floor. We are located in Suite 301 (left hand side).

You can come on in if the door is unlocked and we’ll have someone at the front desk to greet you. Just check in with us and wait for further instructions.

If the door is locked, we are likely with a patient still, so please wait outside the door. If it’s been 10 minutes over your appointment time, feel free to give us a call!

NEARBY SUPPLEMENT STORE

so you're not hunting down your recommendations
