Astro Medical Clinic and Aesthetic

Astro Medical Clinic and Aesthetic is a family practice and walk-in clinic located at 1876 Pembina Hwy, Unit 2 in Winnipeg, MB, offering comprehensive primary care, women's health, prenatal and postnatal care, and minor procedures.

The clinic accepts new patients with no waitlist and welcomes walk-ins every day they are open, allowing patients to book online or call ahead to find the shortest wait times.

Patients can request a specific doctor, tell the front desk if they prefer a female physician, and the clinic will match them based on schedule availability.

The clinic operates seven days a week, with hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Astro Medical offers rapid strep testing that provides results in about ten minutes, allowing patients to leave knowing whether they need antibiotics.

The clinic provides uninsured medical services such as notes, forms, and third-party paperwork that Manitoba Health does not cover, with fees quoted up front before treatment.

The clinic is conveniently located in Pembina Crossing with free surface parking directly in front, and several Winnipeg Transit routes stop within a minute's walk.

The clinic covers care for every stage of life, from a newborn's first weight check to a senior's medication review, including services like work injury care (WCB) and travel vaccines.

The clinic's approach emphasizes patient-centred care where care plans are built around individual circumstances rather than a template, and physicians remember patient history.

The clinic holds appointment slots each day to ensure same-day capacity, so patients are not sent to an emergency department for issues the clinic can handle.

The clinic states that the most common complaint about walk-in care is that nobody really looks at patients, so they book appointments to allow time to ask what else is going on.

The clinic has a team of experienced physicians including Dr. Ahvan Shokri, Dr. Banafsheh Salimarouny, Dr. Laleh Khandan, Dr. Jonathan Chan, and Dr. Binudith Warnakulasooriya.

The clinic offers vaccinations on the Manitoba schedule seven days a week, including routine immunizations for children and adults.

The clinic offers prenatal and postnatal care, including medical support through pregnancy, delivery planning, and the months after the baby arrives.

The clinic offers minor procedures such as stitches, mole and skin lesion removal, joint injections, and abscess drainage, all done in the clinic.
