The clinic is located in the commercial hub of Edmonton, which is a sprawling city with a population of 1.2 million people. In the last 10 years, the population has increased to five hundred thousand people, with a majority moving to Edmonton due to the lower cost of living and affordable housing.  The clinic is close to shopping malls, cafes, restaurants and several other clinics in the vicinity.
