CLSC DE MERCIER-EST

Best Times to Visit

Quieter times: Most services require an appointment, so arrival timing is guided by your scheduled time. For walk-in psychosocial reception, arriving early in the morning (around 8:00 AM) on weekdays is generally advisable to secure a spot. Call ahead at 514-356-2572 to confirm availability.

Busier times: Avoid visiting without an appointment, as most services are appointment-based. Late afternoon slots (after 15:00–16:00) may be unavailable for many services. The CLSC is closed on weekends and statutory holidays, so plan accordingly.

About ER Wait Times

Emergency departments use triage. Patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.

Wait times are estimates based on Quebec health data. Actual wait times may vary.

This hospital does not publish a live wait, so the figure above comes from our model rather than from its own feed. We publish how that model performs where it can be checked, at the hospitals that do publish. See the accuracy scorecard, or how we work the number out.
