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!

Thank goodness for Dr. Lisa Makofka. I was looking for help with a severe concussion after a car…read moreaccident with a moose, and I found Dr. Lisa to be one of the most experienced Functional Neurology doctors in Calgary. She had just helped a fellow who was suffering concussion effects for 13 years and that was good enough for me. In my first session, she seemed to be able get inside my concussion as she pointed out things that I was experiencing, but couldn't articulate. I find her to be thorough and creative as she performs tests that target my injuries versus other doctors I've encountered who go through a set of rote tests that miss what Dr. Lisa finds. Finally Dr. Lisa is generous with her knowledge and time. I ask her a multitude of questions in my sessions because I'm trying to learn what's happening with my brain, and Dr. Lisa is down-to-earth and answers them all and explains in terms that I understand. Thank you Dr. Lisa for helping me so much.

I have to say after 18 years of care from Dr. Trevor Hoffman I wouldn't be where I am today with…read moreout it! I have grown up from a little teeny bopper to a adult under Dr. Hoffman's care. He always has a big smile and a welcoming energy that just makes you feel safe. That says a lot from a young woman who is petrified of needles. He has patience like I've never see before in anyone, and for that I can't say thank you enough. Had he not had the patience for sometimes upwards of a hour to do a needle, I would't be able to type today. I go to him for everything, and never once has he been stumped. While being treated it's never dull, as I am a sponge to all his knowledge. Sometimes I wonder if he is the smartest man in the world! I feel gratitude that I know him and I appreciate being his patient. I have seen Dr. Jana Exner through the years as well and she is a breath of fresh air. She is amazing, and so compassionate! I have seen the growth in Paradigm over the years and couldn't be happier with the level of ND's who are a part of Paradigm. I would find it hard to believe if anyone had a bad experience here. I just think the world of Paradigm and feel it's such a small thing for me to write a review...but it's the only way I know how to say thanks and share with the world my gratitude!

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!

Dr. Allissa Gaul is special. I have been going to Dr. Allissa for roughly 8 years now. She just…read moreseems to have the inside incite on concerns that other doctors haven't been able to help me with. Through her, my health has improved over the years. I have been able to get over some serious health bumps. I have had someone that I could talk about any concern with. I have grown as a person. I have sent many family and friends to her. Most importantly to me, Dr. Allissa was there for my both my parents when they were in serious health difficulties. From a distance even, she was still able to prescribe gentle treatments that greatly improved quality of their lives. They have both passed now at 89 and 90. I am so grateful to her.

I was booked to see my family doctor Tomas Nel, whom I've seen many times in his previous location…read more(and he's made lots of money off of me) but this was to be the first time at Mid Park. He has ALWAYS been in a hurry and in my case never got back to me on the results of tests he ordered. I have to remind him when I gone in and then he starts reading the results, right in front of me. Apparently my health means very little but this was the first time I have ever missed a doctors appointment in my life. I realized my mistake and called the clinic within 20 mins of missing the appointment. They told me it was too late to come in and offered to book a new appointment. I apologized and accepted the new appointment. Three hours later I get a call telling me Dr Nel wants me to pay him 100 dollars for missing the appointment! I would have paid 50 dollars but 100! Forget it! If that is the kind of man he is I'll find another doctor. Talk about greed. He makes well over 200 thousand a year and sits in his office with his gold watch. I make under 60 thousand and have three children, miss one appointment by 20 mins and he demands 100 dollars. I'm seeing red. He can find another client. I'm done with him. I should have left long ago.
