Ultima Pharmacy & Medical Clinic

What Ultima Pharmacy & Medical Clinic does

Ultima Pharmacy & Medical Clinic is an independent, owner-operated community pharmacy and walk-in medical clinic located at 311 Sheppard Ave E in North York, Toronto, Ontario. The business operates under a unified retail-clinical model: a registered pharmacy (Ontario College of Pharmacists Certificate of Accreditation #308493) co-located with a family medicine and walk-in practice led by Dr. Javad Peirovy (MD, CCFP), supported by an on-site team of 7 employees. Co-owners Firoozeh Arbab, RPh (registered pharmacist and privacy officer) and Pirooz Emami oversee operations, with multilingual offerings in English and Farsi.

The core service portfolio spans prescription dispensing (including transfers, MedsCheck medication reviews, and ODB/OHIP+/Trillium processing), pharmacist-led minor ailment assessments for 19 OHIP-covered conditions delivered in-person or via the Pharmassess virtual portal, OHIP-covered walk-in clinic and family doctor consultations booked through MyHealthAccess, pharmacist-administered vaccinations (flu, Shingrix, routine adult immunizers), and a Certified Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre issuing official ICVP certificates. Adjacent specialty clinics include a physician-supervised medical weight loss program with GLP-1 therapies (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro), a psychotherapy and mental health clinic offering CBT and other modalities, medication delivery, medical cannabis partnerships with licensed producers, and Ontario's publicly funded Smoking Cessation Program. Underlying technology is a standard Canadian healthcare stack: TLS-encrypted EMR systems with Canadian data residency, the Pharmassess portal for secure patient intake and virtual assessments, and MyHealthAccess for online booking, all governed by PHIPA compliance.

The revenue model is a mix of government reimbursement and consumer-paid services. The majority of revenue is derived from prescription dispensing fees reimbursed through provincial drug plans (OHIP/ODB), private insurance, and out-of-pocket payments, with Ontario's fee schedule for pharmacist services (minor ailment assessments, MedsCheck, vaccinations) and OHIP physician billings providing additional clinic-side revenue. Specialty services such as travel vaccines, weight loss consultations, and psychotherapy operate on either insurance-covered or out-of-pocket models. All services are delivered direct-to-consumer primarily through the physical storefront, supplemented by the Pharmassess virtual platform and online booking; no institutional, enterprise, or B2B distribution channels are present. Patient acquisition is driven by organic channels: Google Business Profile (4.3/5 rating from 88 reviews), an extensive health education blog, walk-in traffic, and word-of-mouth in the North York community.
