I called 905-417-2004 at 8am sharp this morning and ended up first in the queue to make an appointment. I had my son’s Health Card ready, and is the first thing they ask for. They have all of our information once I gave them my son’s Health Card number. They collected his email address so that they can register him through MyChart<\/a>, an online site where you can get your test results once it is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are already a patient at Mackenzie Health, and already have a MyChart account, you can schedule a test online without having the need to call in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The appointment was for 4:20pm this afternoon, and we arrived at around 5 minutes early. We park in the A-Wing parking lot. They will give you a voucher \/ ticket to get out of the parking lot, so you do not need to pay for parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a top down satellite photo to show precisely where you need to go and park and where the walk-in entrance is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was only about 2 to 3 groups ahead of us in line, so the wait was a matter of couple of minutes. At registration, they ask you to change your mask to the ones they provided. The test was completed in less than 15 minutes. They had 8 stations performing the tests in parallel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cotton swab test was a bit uncomfortable for my son. He characterized it as a bit of a burning sensation afterwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall the process is fairly simple and straight forward. Now we await the good news in 2 to 3 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night I received a call from the vice-principal of one of my son’s high school.
