My family Dr. ( Dr. Kamath ) at the clinic is amazing, although I am sad to know he is retiring and moving away in 9 days. The medical office assistants are kind and helpful, and the clinic manager has been amazing. All of this has been a very welcome change, especially since my last experience of 10 years + with a different very negligent Dr. and abusive receptionist. Hats off to Dr. Kamath, Monica and the entire team at Simply Wellness Medical, Kingsway location.

Hands down the best doctors office I have ever been to in metro Vancouver. The waits are…read morereasonable, the doctors actually seem to care, and the office itself is clean and modern. They also offer a number of tele medicine options since the pandemic started which has been incredibly convenient.

This is not a regular doctor's office, but part of the UBC students' training. About 10 doctors,…read moreone nurse (for pap exams), one dietician are here, to supervise the students. As a result, each appointment starts with the student coming in and asking about your symptoms. She may perform small exams as she fees fit, then go confer with your doctor. Then, they both come in and offer prescriptions or whatever is necessary. I like this because I get a thorough inspection and the student usually narrates what she is doing (feeling the lymph nodes, etc.). I happened to go twice a month apart, and the student was different. So, this setup is not for people who want to see one doctor quickly and get out. Apparently, they are funded by the government by how many patients are registered there, as opposed to the usual offices being reimbursed per patient visit. This is why they ask patients to always come to them, and not go to walk-in clinics. I have been able to book an appointment with my doctor the day I call. If he is not available, they offer an appointment with another one of the doctors. The official address lists it as on Oak St, but it is deep inside the hospital complex, so it's easier to get to from the parking lot entrance on Heather at 29th Ave. Follow the sidewalk on the north side. It's the building after the first crosswalk. Go up the ramp on the corner.

Wonderful family clinic that treats based on the current research. Dr. Marhin is always willing to…read moretake the extra time to answer all my questions and it is nice to have female residents to do my pap exams. My daughter is very comfortable and likes coming as well. Sometimes the exams take a bit longer because of the teaching setting, but as a plus I can always get in within a day or two to see a doctor, even if not my own another is on call on Saturdays. They are now located on Broadway at Willow and there is parking available on the roof.

Excellent Doctor. Has been mine since he took over the practice - 25 years ago (or more). I feel…read morevery lucky to have had him as my primary care physician. Broke my spine a few years ago during the pandemic and was given quality of care and he referred me to the top spinal surgeons and neurosurgeons. Again I feel very fortunate to have him as my primary care physician. Staff and practice is run professionally. He is very detail oriented and client care is always his first priority.

I moved to New Westminster and still will only see him in Vancouver. Sometimes its hard getting through on phone but definately worth the wait. Staff are very professional and stoic which is usually misinterpreted as rude or abrupt. Don't take it personal.

Had gone in for a referral for orthotics and a prescription for a rash. This was the second time I was at the clinic and saw Dr. Gillian Fisher both times. She seems very thorough, knowledgable and approachable, which is not always the case when you go to a walk in! The clinic is clean and the front desk staff were friendly and professional.

Moving here to Vancouver from the States 18 months ago, I had no idea how the Canadian, or the…read moreprovincial BC medical system worked, nor did I have a GP here for myself or my family. I was SO lucky to be referred to Dr. Brian Yau here (and lucky that he was taking new patients, too). In the past, when I lived in Seattle, it took me a while to find doctors and dentists that I "clicked" with. I always felt that it takes a team effort - me and my doctor, - to be most effective in my staying/being healthy. So it's critical that I'm comfortable with my doctor to talk openly with him or her. It's in my best interest to "click" with him/her. And it's critical that he/she be knowledgeable, receptive, accessible and helpful. Bonus if the office staff is friendly and works with me and my schedule. Dr. Yau and his office staff are all these things, and more. They've fit me in the Dr's schedule ASAP when I needed to be seen. Dr. Yau is working with my WA doctors to follow up on past conditions and provide continuity of care. He takes the time to patiently go over all the many ways the system here differs from that in the States, and helps me navigate my way here re: blood work, referrals to other medical specialists, etc. He's also been incredibly helpful for my daughter, too. Another bonus here: Dr. Yau is incredibly prompt. (I always get irked when kept waiting and waiting, appointment after appointment, at doctors' and dentists' offices. It's as if my time isn't respected at all. Sure, once in a while is understandable but when it happens regularly, it really rubs me the wrong way). Dr. Yau has always seen me within 5 minutes of our appointment time. To me, that is yet another sign that he cares about his patients. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Yau and the office staff here. My only caveats (which are admittedly minor): no free parking or validated parking here, and no wi-fi in the office (bummer). Otherwise, this practice here is stellar. I consider myself super lucky to be a patient here.

I started as a patient of Dr. Nguan while she was on maternity leave and ended up seeing her locums…read morewho were all great. Then I met Dr. Nguan and she is one of the most kind hearted Dr's I have ever been to! It took me years to find a Dr that would take on new patients and to luck out and find the most amazing Dr in the city is just amazing! The reception is great, they are friendly and helpful. After being to a lot of clinics with extremely rude receptionists this really tips the scales in their favor! They always work with me to find an appointment that will suit my schedule which is really important for me since I don't live or work close to the office (but it's worth the travel!) I believe one of the locums I saw Dr. Bergman now works in the office as well so if you are looking for a male Dr he is also amazing!

Very hard to book an appointment with her , she is never available in person and if you book through phone call she will never call on time.

She took ample time to discuss our mom's care options with us, walking us thru a tumultuous time and righting wrongs that others had done (by providing the very best care until the very end). She provided a lot of reassurance during the stages of end of life care. We would have been a mess emotionally and medically, had it not been for her guidance to our family and mother. She also helped our family harmonize differing points of view we had that were splintering our family, by providing sound advice and evidence of the best steps to take. One of the best physicians and human beings I have ever met. Respectful of all faiths, traditions and cultures and familiar with eastern and western traditions and a deep understanding of the death process and transition to beyond. She is able to engage in very helpful discussions on all levels.

This guy has ADD or he's trying to kill me LOL…read more I went to see my regular doctor for two separate issues with my feet. The doctor suspected I had a mild case of gout on my right foot, so he was going to prescribe some meds for that issue. For my left foot, I was in excruciating pain for days after I walked on it for a longer period of time or lifted anything heavy.  I could barely walk at all and his solution was sending me to an orthopedist to get a pair of orthotics.  He also gave me a prescription for the pain. 3 things wrong with this; 1.- He forgot to give me the prescription for my right foot 2.- Did he hear that I'm not able to walk?, Shouldn't I get an ultrasound to see what might be causing the severe pain? A pair of orthotics is his solution, come on! 3.- He has been my doctor for about 4 years and he has my chart that says in big bold letters, severe allergy to Advil and Aspirin; good thing the pharmacist informed me that the medication he prescribed has those ingredients!  This was the 3rd time he has made this mistake. I'd better leave him before he sends me to hospital!

This is my doctor, and I have been coming for years here to see him (well sometimes I skip a year…read moreor too if I am feeling dandy!) and I have to say he is real good with getting you back on your feet fast. I do not know if he is taking anymore patients, as when I come here there are always people waiting around like a walk in clinic, which either tells me he is good, or that there is no one else to go to (which is defintely not the case!). He gives you real world solutions to problems and ailments so I am never afraid of going there. Not intimidating and he gets to know you, and in some ways he is the neighborhood doctor mentality. Fluent in English and Cantonese, I talk to him in both ways sometimes, and also if you need any shots or medications, he won't just prescribe it, but he looks at your situation and also ask if you have work coverage and to ask first if they cover, so he does think of things outside the box.
