Dr. Kimberley is a compassionate and thoughtful naturopathic doctor. She worked closely with me to…read morework through some health concerns, and no concern is too minor for her - she works hard to find solutions to get you feeling as healthy and energetic as possible. Dr. Kimberley encouraged me to take some extra lab tests (blood, saliva) so we could be certain about what may be causing my symptoms. I have gone to other naturopaths who do little more than guess at the cause of symptoms (for example, one naturopath treated me for candida overgrowth, but the blood test I did with Dr. Kimberley shows my candida as healthy). This ensures that I am spending my time and money focused on the right things to get me feeling great! I'm feeling better than I have in years, and this is primarily due to diet. Dr. Kimberley has developed her own meal plan, along with weekly grocery shopping lists, and not only is the food amazing, but it has me feeling amazing too!

A few months back, my husband told me he wanted to see a Naturopath. He was diagnosed with SIBO…read moreearlier this year and has chronic stomach issues. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease years ago and my villi have not grown back despite a strict Gluten Free diet. Neither one of us had ever seen a Naturopath before, due to the old stigma around naturopathic medicine. After having such bad experiences with Doctors and feeling hopeless, we both decided to give it a shot. After lots of Google research, I came across Dr. Lindsay Irwin at Marda Loop Naturopathic and Wellness Clinic. When I first called to book my husband's appointment, I spoke with Layle. She gave me an excellent first impression of the clinic, and patiently answered my many questions. Whenever I have spoken with Layle to book appointments since, she's been very kind and genuinely cares about how you are doing. Our Doctors really gave Layle the run-around to get copies of our Lab Results, but she was determined to help us. We really wanted to get Dr. Irwin's second opinion and find out what she thought would be the best measures to take to improve our health. We can both honestly say that Dr. Lindsay Irwin has changed our lives for the better! After our first appointments, we were both blown away by her Clinical knowledge. Also, I have never met a better listener in my life. I had gotten so accustomed to dismissive Doctors with the attitude that they know everything. Dr. Lindsay Irwin listens, she believes you, she cares, and she gives you hope. You don't just have to learn to live with your diagnosis, imagine that! There's things that you can actually do to improve your chronic conditions and isn't some hogwash medicine. For treatment that actually works, go see Dr. Irwin, and she'll change your life too!

This was my first visit to a naturopath. I can't remember the name of the doctor but this clinic is…read morecompletely licensed and was covered under my medical benefits at work. I only had an initial consultation where I spoke for an hour with the naturopath about my daily life, diet, and such. She performed some "natural' tests on me and then spoke with me afterward on what she found. I had a couple qualms with my appointment. The first was that she asked me what I was concerned about in my diet. I replied with possibly caffeine, gluten, and dairy. When she was done her tests, she recommended that I cut down on my caffeine, gluten, and dairy intake. It seemed like I was just being fed back the info I had told her. Also, this clinic does not do blood work and will send to you another clinic to have an allergy test done. This meant that my benefits would not cover the expenses of this test. There are lots of other naturopathic clinics that will do this test in house, making it more convenient and possibly free, depending on your health care coverage. Overall, it was an okay experience but I would try another clinic next time I want to see an naturopath.

I am in my mid twenties and for the last 4 years I have had a lot of fatigue. I had met with my…read morefamily Dr. on a few different occasions to talk with her about it, she helped by changing some prescriptions and trying some supplements. That just didn't seem to help the problem. so I decided to seek out someone who may be able to help me in a natural way, that was when a friend recommended Dr. Gaul. I was told by my friend that it was tough to get into see her, but when I called it was only a week wait. So that seemed like a good start to me! The receptionist sent me a 16 page client information form to fill out. It felt like I was writing a book about my life, everything from dental work to what my fears are! It was definitely the most in depth form I have or probably will ever fill out! I faxed it back to the office so that the Dr. had time to review it before our appointment. Finding the office was a bit difficult, the sign is hard to see. So I ended up parking a couple blocks away and walking to find it. There is a parking lot for the building, which I recommend using. The office is nice and dim, I felt very relaxed sitting in the waiting room. They have a little play area for kids. There is also lots of information around about the therapies they do at the clinic. You can even sign out some of the books they have. It was very quiet when I was there, I'm pretty sure I was the only patient. Dr. Gaul is very friendly, she introduced herself and we went into her office to chat. We talked for about an hour, going over my forms. At the end she seemed pretty confident she knew what the issues where and explained to me what she thought. She took me into another room to do an autonomic response test, which I can't really explain. She was testing the response of my organs, pretty much. After the test she talked with me about the recommended treatment and plan for the next 4 months. I can not say enough about how nice it was to have someone listen to me, I didn't feel like I was crazy for not having a physical illness causing my problems! I felt so comfortable with Dr. Gaul, she was very conversational! As a follow up I returned after my 4 months and my fatigue was still an issue. I had improvement in other areas of my health so I knew something was working. She did another test on me, this time related to emotional storage. She told me that she had never seen so many conflicting issues on all levels as I had. That kinda threw me for a loop! She chatted with me a bit, explaining what that meant and perhaps why I would have that going on. It began to make sense to me. She started me on a homeopathic treatment, layer by layer. She again seemed confident that we would sort things out soon. I have started the treatment and have been on it for 2.5 months now. It was a rough start, I was an emotional wreck for a few weeks, but I can honestly say that I feel better! I do really feel that after 4 years I am on the right track! All thanks to Dr. Gaul! The appointments are quite pricey, almost $300 for the initial visit, so this is an investment in ones health. Its not like you go back every month, so in retrospect it isn't bad. The supplements and homeopathic remedies are another expense, approx $50-75 a month for me, which I know could be worse. I highly recommend that people like me, who are starting to feel lost or like you are stuck, in regards to your health, should give Dr. Gaul a chance to help you. I myself know it was a good decision, maybe it will be for you too!

I was very…read moreill and in bad shape, the day I walked into her office because I had started an IV protocol weeks before (at another clinic) and the treatment plan was far too aggressive. Despite my health dwindling rapidly, my other doctor was not able to help me or recommend treatments to ease my pain and misery and I was extremely distraught until I was able to see Dr. Haggarty. She did a VERY thorough intake with me and we have decided to do some tests so we know what we are dealing with (other naturo didn't even mention any detailed testing)... Dr Haggarty was able to squeeze me in to get an IV that very same day and based on my symptoms she knew my body badly needed help detoxing. Within hours I felt better and I continued to improve in the days following. I followed up with the same kind of IV the next week (as she instructed), and I've seen an even greater improvement in how I feel! I was even able to get out to the mountains one day, exercise and work! What a difference and a relief it is to find a good doctor who is knowledgeable, who LISTENS to her patients and who truly cares. I feel like I am in good hands with Dr. Haggarty and I have been treated well by the other staff at the clinic also. I am so glad I decided to switch over to the Nardella clinic. I just wish I would have done it sooner, but better late than never!! Signed, a grateful patient...

The receptionist was so rude and talking over me telling me "ok, right, thank you" before I could ask a question to clarify what she was saying and meaning as her accent was obviously hindering our communication. I was trying SO hard to be calm and clear and kind as I hate getting annoyed and being rude. They wanted me to pay $250 a week in advance for my phone consultation/initial appointment with Haggerty and then I had to go hunt down my medical records for the good Dr or pay their office for all the tests they would request because "they are private". DEEP BREATH. Then the Receptionist phoned me back to cancel my appointment because she ran my cc that was supposed to be on file (I have a special one I use for just such occasions), she originally told me that my card would be charged immediately after my phone appointment with the Doctor which is normal but then called me back to cancel my appointment because the card did not go through and tell me I am out of luck. Thanks for NOTHING except for increasing my stress while I am sick and can't afford more stress. Also, taking money before providing your treatment is not normal practice and reeks of being a money grab. I guess I should be thankful this happened because by the sounds of other reviews and experiences, I dodged a bullet when vulnerable. You all should do the same and spare yourself s the abuse.

Anyways, she found the vein and did the needle, it worked and then somehow the needle moved and the blood stopped so she had to pull it out. It hurt. And still hurts. She proceeded to try another vein, it didn't work and she pulled it out. Another dr came and started giving me a lesson about veins, tried ANOTHER vein and it didn't work. It's so frustrating, the whole time they were overly positive as if to try to pretend that it wasn't painful or annoying!! Yes my veins can be alittle low but if someone knows what they are doing they get it every time. I finally said enough, I don't want to keep trying because my arm hurts and I'm going to have bruises all over. They pretended to be understanding but I still felt like somehow it was my fault and how dare I feel negatively about my experience. The icing on the cake...I was about to leave and they stopped me saying I have to pay 25 for a supply fee, I asked what supply fee. I was told for the bag of vitamins that was used. Oh you mean the bag of vitamins that I didn't even get to use as I'm walking out of your clinic with sore and bruised arms. So tired of professionals hiding behind this fake positive spin on everything and minimizing in an attempt to make the customer feel like they are "negative" or at fault.

I have been under the care of Dr. Mark Swain for almost twenty years for a chronic condition that…read morehas given me very little grie.f. However, it needs to be monitored, and Dr. Swain is the specialist that I work with. I have always known that he is a very good doctor. However, I did a presentation in November, 2010 when Dr. Swain was appointed the Cal Wenzel Family Foundation Chair in Hepatology, and I really learned how incredible this man`s credentials are. My experience of him as a doctor, is someone who listens, asks questions, is compassionate, knowledgable and is always honest. Over the years, as alternative health options have been cropping up, I have asked him all kinds of questions regarding my treatment, and he has handled my requests with patience and honesty. Further, in the rare occassion where I have had trouble, he has been accessible. He truly does care about the work that he does, and his patients. He always makes time. In addition to taking on patients, Dr. Swain also holds other responsibilities in his field. I have done my best to paraphrase some of his credentials for this review, and I have also included a link to his full credentials as well. - Acting Head for the Division of Gastroenterology, University of Calgary (U of C) and Alberta Health Services (AHS) - Professor of Medicine, Hepatologist and Clinician-Scientist at the U of C. - He has won many awards for teaching and research, including the U of C Watanabe Distinguished Achievement Award for Overall Excellence. - He is currently the Cal Wenzel Family Foundation Chair in Hepatology, and the Head of the Translational Research Core for the Snyder Institute, at the U of C Source: http://www.departmentofmedicine.com/documents/announcements/swain_head_announcement.pdf When I learned in November, 2010 that he is also holds so many other titles and roles within the medical community, I am just further astounded and impressed that he actually has the time to provide the level of care that he does. I feel extremely fortunate. For any patients who are researching Dr. Swain, be advised that if you have been placed under his care, you are a dealing with the cream of the crop. Not only for his credentials, but for his bedside manner as well.
