Urgent Care Clinic
The West Coast Family Medical Clinic, located in the Evergreen Centre, has a walk-in urgent care clinic (there is no full-time walk-in clinic in Sooke). You can call the Clinic at 250-642-4233 for more information. The hours as of November 2016 are as follows:

There are a number of family doctors at the West Coast Clinic, but at the moment, to my knowledge, there is a waiting list of a couple of years.
