I've been coming to BodaHealth for acupuncture and massage for the past month. It's a lovely,…read moreclean office with very friendly office staff. It's conveniently located near transit. I see Cary Rendek for acupuncture. She's wonderful. We hit it off right away. She is so easy to talk to and is passionate about helping her patients. I originally came in due to back pain and the acupuncture has really helped. We're also doing a food cleanse, which is something I had been wanting to try and am excited to have someone guide me through it. I see Kendra Shand for massage. I saw her for several years but then lost touch when she moved clinics. I was thrilled to discover her again. She's awesome. Also very easy to talk to. She practices a mixture of "regular" massage and Reiki. As an aside, I am totally out of it after my acupuncture appt and only schedule them on my day off. So consider yourself warned (although not everyone reacts the same way). I am so happy with both Cary and Kendra and would recommend them to anyone!

My only complaint is that I waited so damn long. I've been seeing Dr. Jeda for 4 months now for a variety of ailments. Without going into too much detail here, she's really helped cure me of a few things and is working on alleviating a lot of other problems. I really find Jeda easy to talk to, kind and determined to fix what ails ya. I have been singing her praises to everyone who will listen and sincerely hope that more people are willing to give this a try.

I visited this clinic on May 6, 2025, for cupping therapy--my third time receiving this treatment…read morehere. After the session, the practitioner mentioned I had "a few blisters" and applied some ointment. Since the cupping was done on my back, I couldn't see the area myself and trusted their assessment. However, once I got home and checked, I was shocked to find that nearly every cupping mark was filled with blisters--far more than "a few." Sleeping that night was very uncomfortable, and the affected areas grew painful over time. What concerns me most is the way this was handled. Before leaving, I was asked to sign a waiver. In hindsight, it felt like the practitioner was aware of the extent of the reaction and had me sign paperwork before I realized what had happened. I understand that blistering can occasionally occur with cupping, but the lack of transparency and aftercare, along with how the situation was managed, left me very disappointed. I hope this helps others make an informed decision.

I recently visited CareMed to get my annual pap-smear done. My physician was one of their on-site…read moreNaturopaths, Dr. Kennet, and it was one of the BEST experiences I've ever had with getting such a procedure done. I cannot stress that enough. Originally I opted to book through CareMed for my papsmear because I've had a lot of awful experiences getting them done at walk-in clinics in the Lower Mainland. Being without a family physician (an impossible thing to find these days), I found CareMed's services via the internet and it seemed like a great fit. They also accepted my extended health insurance, bonus! Upon arriving to CareMed I was kindly greeted, filled out some quick paperwork and was quickly seen. The general ambiance was relaxing and welcoming. Considering this was my first ever experience with natural medicine, I was impressed. I really had no idea what to expect and it blew away any of my preconceived notions. During the procedure, Dr. Kennet was gracious, understanding, kind and warm. She heard my worries, took painstaking effort in creating a calm environment and was wonderfully informative. Not once was I in pain, uncomfortable or unsure. It was SO relieving to finally have such an experience that I could have cried with joy. Ladies, if you don't have a family physician, are not comfortable with your family physician doing your pap-smear, have never had a pap-smear or would like a more educational and relaxing environment while getting one done, GO HERE. It is so, so worth it.

I cannot stress enough how wonderful this clinic is. I recently had a pap smear done at CareMed by…read moreDr. Kennett, and like the previous reviewer - I had an amazingly comfortable experience here. Like many, I have had a very difficult time finding a doctor who would perform a pap. Many walk-in clinics that I called just refused to do them, other clinics had designated appointment times for paps during weekday work hours that just would not work for me. I even had a clinic tell me that I had to go to the clinic in person (on a weekday) just to see the doctor and speak with her, before she could even determine whether she would perform a pap smear for me! CareMed allowed me to make an appointment for a Saturday morning - how awesome. The clinic is clean, cozy and welcoming - the receptionist was delightful and Dr. Kennet, just amazing. She spent a whole 50 minutes with me, addressing all the concerns I had. Not once did I feel rushed, which is usually what happens at walk in clinics. She made me feel comfortable, and I was comfortable speaking with her. She asked me questions about my medical history that made me feel like she honestly cared. The pap procedure was thorough, and Dr. Kennet explained everything during the procedure. She made what usually is an uncomfortable procedure, so so so bearable. Since this clinic is a naturopathic clinic and not everyone has extended health care to cover the costs - some may be turned off. But for the low stress, comfortable experience, it is so worth it. You will be glad you went.

Mine told me (just today, after months of struggling with this) to call instead if I had urgent questions or concerns (and, thank goodness, because with HRT things that aren't working need to be corrected ASAP), but reception is consistently rude -- I often feel like I'm inconveniencing them when I have basic needs or questions -- and they literally just hung up on me while I was still speaking. I'm finding a new provider.

However, a week before my scheduled appointment, I received a call and was charged for $50 for a missed appointment! I still have the email, and a voice message on my phone stating the original time that I had booked in advance two months ago. My partner was shocked too since he was there when I called the office to book the appointment originally and remembers it being scheduled. The appointment they "claimed I booked" was on a day I was scheduled to be away from Vancouver, so I would have never booked that time - their receptionist wrongly scheduled me for an appointment in their system and then charged me for their error. No where on their website does it state that you will be charged $50 for "missed appointments" i.e. scheduling errors by Integrative's staff. Terrible service and a disorganized reception that resulted in hidden fees for an error on their part. Stay away and go with an naturopath office that knows how to use a calendar.

My review is strictly with the owner/homeopathic doctor, Dr Krueger. I have never seen her as a…read morepatient. I come to the clinic for Massage and Chiropractor appointments and these clinicians are amazing. The problem is Dr Krueger ruins your appointment with them by stomping up and down the halls in her unbusinesslike shoes (for this type of office) and her louder than the average cheerleader voice, completely oblivious or too obtuse to care about any other patients than her own. I have been going to the clinic for about 10 years and in the last few years she has ruined every single massage appointment I have had by her indifferent, uncaring ways. Today was over the top when a family of what I can only guess were "out of control" toddlers visiting her ran up and down the hallways yelling and screaming. Completely ruining what was an otherwise incredible treatment from the most amazing RMT. It is unfortunate that because she is the owner, no one can hold her to account for her unprofessional manners. I wish I could give a separate review of the professionals who work there as they all seem to be very good at what they do.

"How serious are you in making a lifestyle change?" was the question on the form at the doctor's…read moreoffice. OVERVIEW: When a good friend refers you to a clinic that offers an alternative method of better health, you just have to see for yourself. The funny thing is that the "alternative method" should have been the norm because Springs Eternal deals with naturopathic medicine. On a broad sense, this means that they focus on natural remedies coupled with the body's ability to heal and maintain itself while avoiding evasive methods like drugs and surgery. WHO: The clinic is run by a soft-spoken couple (each with their own specialties) whom both have a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine giving them an "ND" designation rather than an "MD". AILMENTS: They deal with a wide array of conditions from allergies/asthma, detox/cleansing, and anything else that deals with making your body function better. TREATMENTS: No antibiotics here that puts your system out of whack and kills the good bacteria along with it. We're talking about acupuncture, hydrotherapy and homeopathy which means herbs and natural supplements to bring your body into healing itself. CONSULTATION: It's a one-hour consultation for the very first visit. You fill out a form detailing your present health and conditions. At CAD140.00, I damn right made sure to list everything I can think of about my health. The doctor goes thru the form and then discusses everything in your life and weeds thru your past living and working conditions. From possible exposure to household paint and chemicals to how much metals your body may have ingested including the amalgam your dentist put on your teeth. COST: Because it's an alternative approach this means that MSP will not cover the cost of clinic visits nor will Pharmacare cover the cost of supplements. Until this is a widely accepted form of treatment in the medical community extended insurance is the only option. THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE: Until the government includes this as part of basic medical coverage or I win the lottery (whichever comes first, really) it's not something I can continue doing. And let's just say your extended insurance will cover the cost of all office visits, you still have to deal with the cost of supplements which isn't covered. UNTIL THEN: All we can really do toward better health is what our parents have been saying. At least drinking red wine has health benefits. Now if only they make a positive study on poutine consumption.

This was my worst blood draw experience in 37 years. I've never had issues with needles or blood…read moredraws, but Rida Wang (ND) was remarkably inept compared to even the most mediocre phlebotomists and nurses I've encountered in the past. I thought it was weird that a naturopath was doing a blood draw, but figured she must know what she's doing if she's confident enough to offer it as a service and had a student shadowing her. Boy was I wrong. She took an unnecessarily large needle, dug and twisted it in my right arm every which way and somehow still failed to locate a vein while causing intense pain. I literally had to yell, "STOP!" She then switched over to my left arm and eventually managed to draw 2 tubes of blood, but not without significant discomfort. The veins in both of my arms ended up feeling like they were on fire and were heavily bruised. This was also the first blood draw where I've had someone take a pen to mark the corners of my vein so that she wouldn't "miss with the needle". After I complained about them on Google, Rida Wang sent a formal document to me saying that neither she nor her student noticed my discomfort, which I vigorously dispute. Are you telling me with your "20 years of experience", you can't even tell when a patient yells stop, that they're in pain? A true professional would have explained upfront that they weren't that experienced and either offered an alternative or asked if I'd be okay with them practicing on me. However, Rida Wang claims that she's a seasoned professional who has "over 200" blood draws under her belt. This really only made the matter worse because if she's done this over 200 times, then there's even less of an excuse to have missed the mark so terribly. The only solution they offered me was a complimentary 15 minute session with Rida Wang for the bruising -- but why would I want that from a person who couldn't even do a basic blood draw? The damage has already been done. How would a consultation help with anything? Finally, I have reason to believe they're withholding results for the blood test. It's been a month, and instead of simply delivering on the product I already paid over $600 for, they requested that I either sign a waiver or book an appointment with my original naturopath, Jean Wong. As my complaint is not about her, I informed the receptionist that I had no issues booking an appointment to get my results from her. They did not provide a clear response and instead said they were following up with the doctor for next steps. This seems like unprofessional and vindictive behaviour. Don't walk away from this place. RUN. I suffered at their hands and not only did I not receive an apology, I got a wall of deflection and gaslighting, completely devoid of empathy or accountability. Patient care is clearly not their priority here.
