Sows Ear Medical Clinic

Sow's Ear Medical Clinic is a medical clinic located at 7186 Lantzville Road in Lantzville, British Columbia, serving patients in the V0R 2H0 area and the surrounding communities along the mid-Vancouver Island corridor. The clinic operates Monday through Friday, with hours running from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and is closed on all statutory holidays as well as daily from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM for lunch. Phones are answered from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and again from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM, so patients are encouraged to call within those windows to reach the front desk.

It is important for patients to know that Sow's Ear Medical Clinic is not a walk-in clinic and is not currently accepting new patients. This means the clinic focuses on providing ongoing, continuous care to its established patient panel rather than offering drop-in or urgent care visits to the general public. Patients who are already registered with the clinic can expect a familiar, consistent care environment where their medical history and ongoing health needs are well known to the clinical team.

The clinic can be reached by phone at 1 (250) 390-4542, and fax is available at 250-390-4561 for referrals or document transfers. Patients should be aware that lab services at the clinic have also seen changes, so confirming lab availability directly with the clinic before visiting for any diagnostic testing is a good idea.

For those living in Lantzville or nearby areas such as Nanaimo's north end, having a dedicated family medicine provider close to home matters. While the clinic is not taking on new patients at this time, those already under the clinic's care benefit from accessible, community-based medical services without needing to travel far. Established patients seeking routine appointments, prescription management, or general health concerns can continue to rely on the clinic within its posted hours. Reaching out by phone during answered hours is the most reliable way to schedule a visit or address any questions about care.
