Be very careful on these. I used the one site which said manitoba health. then sent me to have an appointment to the downtown nurse clinic on i believe 6th street.  
 
I have gone there before and one time when directed there i drove down and found 3 receptionists and no health care professionals nurses or doctors. They said they don't know when one would show up. but really 3 receptionists a bit much of waste of our tax money.  
 
then tried another one that said virtual/phone appointments 24/7 and manitoba. did some talk from supposedly a nurse but probably just AI.  
 
no mention of fee until end then asked for visa information to charge $5 for call. not too shocking then at the bottom after you put visa info. it says $60 a month will be charged. What?  
 
probably just stealing the manitoba health name.  
 
my work plan said they provided that service but when i needed it today. i was directed here then there with phone calls and never found it. even though the plan person said it was there and easy to do.  
 
oh no.  
 
giving up on this.  
 
problem is if you try to go to family doctor could take weeks to get a appointment then want to send you to skin specialist which you wait another year.  
 
if you go to walk in they don't do anything,.  
 
no wonder people get frustrated and give up.

at 144-6th Street does not have 3 people at the reception desk. They have 2 sometimes. The third person sitting at the right of reception desk is for the Crisis Centre which shares the office.  
Have dealt with them several times lately. You are best to phone ahead, even the day before, to make a walk-in appointment. Or, you can go in and make an appointment for later that day. Yes, they sometimes do not have anyone available, so, best to make appointment ahead of time. They are great to deal with. Highly recommend them.

Please share the second website you are referring to. I do not believe that the website would say it was part of Manitoba Health.

It’s all covered by MB health

There are not 3 receptionists. There are other services in that building such as Dr Bushidi's Heart Clinic which is probably one receptionist you saw, Home Care treatment Clinic, I believe there is a social worker etc.  
 
You can book an appointment online or by calling. It is staffed by physicians who work else (within Brandon and other towns) where but do work shifts there as well so things do happen that they don't always have a physician working.  
 
If you don't have a family physician or need walk in its a good option. There is also online apts wtih QDoc.  
 
The medical navigator site as well allows you to book medical appointments

Actually the right side of the desk is NOT the Crisis Centre. It’s actually Bushidi Heart Clinic. They share a space with PMH but are not associated with them. 144 6th Street Dow not have a Crisis Center

By the time I got set up.  
 
So next step.  
 
Guess what no body available.  
 
Go on waiting list.  
 
As to walk-in. Less and less options available in Brandon.  
 
As to website I thought was Manitoba health. Thst is what it said.  
 
Obviously a scam. Once asking for money.  
 
Just people be careful.
