We Speak Their Language
If you find multi-cultural settings stimulating, then Queen Street is for you. Close to 50% of our patients speak Spanish and full-time interpreters are on hand at all times. We also serve Vietnamese, Albanian, Portuguese, Russian, Burmese, Arabic, and Cambodian speaking patients.
