Highly recommended!

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.

When I moved to Vancouver I was nervous to visit a new homeopath because I had been seeing the same…read moreone in Edmonton for 21 years. However, Sonya eased all of my fears with her caring demeanor, knowledge, and professionalism. I was suffering from depression and some other ailments and Sonya listened intently and I felt like she really took the time to understand me and everything I was going through on an incredibly deep level. The amount of follow-up care she offers is outstanding, and she is always very prompt with replying to my emails when I have had a question about my treatment. I feel like myself again, and I owe a lot of that to Sonya choosing the right remedy and dosage for me. I would recommend Sonya to all of my friends and family and will definitely be seeing her again in the future when needed.

Over the years, I have had very good results (some close to miracles) with homeopathic treatment…read more Mostly abroad with very seasoned practitioners. While I recognize the generous time Sonya spends with the initial interview, her approach differs from what I have experienced in the past, including the results: unfortunately, none whatsoever this time. While I trust that Dr. McLeod may have a solid knowledge of the theory of the homeopathic remedies, keeping in mind that the diagnosis requires a degree of intuition and psychology, I consider that she failed to apply much of the latter. Her "take" on my possible underlying condition that would be based on the personality profile she attributed to me [which in turn called for the corresponding remedy she thought was necessary] this "take", was totally off. I would thus hesitate to recommend Sonya. Maybe other people have been more lucky. Or maybe some people may make allowance for trials and errors. Unless my odd symptoms are not within the purview of homeopathy. So, the three stars are for this practitioner's obvious good intentions and her efforts at documenting everything through a long initial interview - which I suspect may not have allowed for adequate listening and proper reading between the lines.

My amazing boyfriend is helping me get healthy after being diagnosed with Graves Disease recently…read more It seems sometimes you need to get a second and even a third opinion nowadays as the regular medical route at least for me isn't or rather hasn't netted any action or suggestion. (I speak of the cough I've had for over 3 years). Today we visited Dr Glew together. Many options and potential actions were recommended and outcomes outlined. While I don't necessarily believe that a laptop connected to a "prognos" device can measure parts of my body for their corresponding internal organs and thus further determine through that whether my gallbladder needs attention, I feel Dr Glew's non-pushy approach and honest interaction might encourage me to keep an open mind. Located in a medical building, along with a small waiting room and reception desk, Dr Glew has 3-4 medically setup treatment rooms and a consulting office. Dr Glew offers acupuncture and a variety of treatment approaches.

I was able to book a free consult to meet the doctor see if we get along, talked about treatments to see if we were on the same wave length. The ND's are very open-minded here and knowledgable which is so refreshing, no one is power tripping in white coats like other MD's I've seen. After the free consult I did book in. When we talked about treatment plan Dr. Natalie Rahr was very understanding, not everyone can afford certain treatments so we worked together to find a good midway point. It was the first time a doctor actually listened to me. Overall, loved my experience at the clinic and the philosophy they practice by. Also noticed they have cancer care at the clinic and I had a chance to talk to another patient about the cancer treatments they offer. He was extremely happy with the results. Definitely recommend this clinic if you're looking for integrative medicine.

This past week, my iud had been somewhat dislodged and I was experiencing contractions so I had to see someone to get this figured out. I was going to try going to a nearby medical clinic, as it was Saturday, but realized most doctors at clinics wouldn't want to investigate my situation as I'm on my period, and most probably wouldn't even have the experience or know-how to be able to help me at all. So I made an appointment with Dr. Kennett, who I know and trust and who has experience with this sort of thing and she was amazing at making me feel better and in the end, by removing my iud.

I keep coming back as a loyal patient because Jolene's approach is the ultimate balance of professionalism, compassion and an enthusiasm for her work, as well as deep knowledge. She is a walking encyclopedia, and she conveys her wisdom and intellect through the lens of someone who really, truly cares and exhibits great passion for what she does. She has changed the way I see my health, and I will continue to see her because I enjoy her insight and her energy so much. I have learned a great deal from this amazing woman. She is unabashedly honest but always respectful, humble, and non-judgemental. For breast exams and pap smears, no one comes close. I have major body image issues and Jolene is always efficient and professional while at the same time going out of her way to put her patients at ease. I cannot recommend her enough- my perspective on life and my body, and my health in general has changed drastically for the better since I met her. Jolene is a rare gem- a doctor who stands in a realm all her own.
