This individual has been fined and has a suspension. The CPBC did a great job with the investigation of the misconduct of this pharmacist. Please read the full document here. https://www.bcpharmacists.org/complaint_outcomes Amara, Alaa Mohssen (Dec 18, 2020) Nature of Action: The Inquiry Committee of the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia ("CPBC") conducted an investigation into the practice of Alaa Mohssen Amara (the "Registrant"), pursuant to section 33(4) of the Health Professions Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 183 ("HPA"). The CPBC issued a Citation on July 6, 2020, which was subsequently amended on November 23, 2020. Further to a proposal for resolution from the Registrant, the Inquiry Committee made a Consent Order under section 37.1 of the HPA. Effective date: December 18, 2020 Name of registrant: Alaa Mohssen Amara Location of Practice: Powell River, BC Admissions and Acknowledgements: The Registrant has admitted and/or acknowledged the following (in part): In or about February 2018, the Registrant allowed a pharmacy opioid agonist treatment ("OAT") patient to deliver methadone to a medical clinic for administration to another pharmacy OAT patient. The Registrant failed to ensure the security of methadone by allowing it to be delivered to a medical clinic without taking sufficient precautions to ensure a secure chain of custody. The Registrant misled a College investigator and the Inquiry Committee during the investigation by not providing accurate and truthful information regarding non-pharmacist methadone delivery. Between December 2017 and February 2018, on multiple occasions, the Registrant dispensed a patient's methadone contrary to the prescription in terms of quantity dispensed. The Registrant caused or allowed multiple methadone maintenance treatment ("MMT") prescriptions for an OAT patient to be dispensed contrary to the legislation and practice standards. The Registrant failed to ensure that the required documentation was completed and/or retained for an OAT patient, including documentation for deliveries completed, physician notifications for missed doses, and part-fill accountability logs. From about July 1, 2017 until March 27, 2018, on multiple occasions, the Registrant backdated methadone prescriptions and failed to review the patient's personal health information on PharmaNet prior to dispensing MMT. During a college pharmacy inspection: The Registrant was only able to produce one narcotic reconciliation. The Registrant failed to ensure that adequate narcotic counts and reconciliations were completed for the pharmacy. Schedule I, II, and III drugs and controlled drug substances were unsecured. The Registrant failed to ensure appropriate security and storage of all Schedule I, II, and III drugs and controlled substances. The Registrant failed to reverse information in the PharmaNet database for several drugs not released to a patient or the patient's representative, and the Registrant failed to record the reason for the reversal no later than 30 days from the date of the original entry of the prescription information in PharmaNet. The Registrant was engaged in a conflict of interest and unethical behaviour by allowing OAT patients to work in the pharmacy. The Registrant breached his undertakings made to the Inquiry Committee on July 17, 2012 and February 11, 2015. Disposition: In the Consent Order under section 37.1 of the HPA, the Inquiry Committee ordered that the Registrant (in part): Pursuant to section 39(2) of the HPA, the Registrant's registration with the CPBC is suspended for a period of 90 days commencing April 1, 2021 to June 29, 2021; Will not be a manager for a period of 90 days commencing on the date his suspension ends (June 30, 2021 to September 27, 2021); Successfully complete and pass the CPEP PROBE "Ethics and Boundaries Program". After the successful completion of the program, to meet with the Inquiry Committee to reflect on his conduct and what he has learned from the program; Consent to a letter of reprimand; Will not be a preceptor of pharmacy students and/or international pharmacy graduates for a period of five (5) years commencing on December 16, 2020 to December 15, 2025; and Pay a fine of $5000 to the CPBC. Rationale: The Registrant contravened sections of the HPA, Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act ("PODSA") Bylaws, HPA Bylaws, and the Code of Ethics in his practice as a pharmacist, pharmacy manager, owner and director, and thereby, neglected his basic duties as a pharmacist, and committed or allowed actions that were unethical and could potentially endanger patient health.

This place is AWESOME! I highly recommend it! Sandie, who owns this clinic, is absolutely…read morewonderful. I've done a few coffee & chlorophyl colonics with her and loved every experience. She's extremely knowledgeable about colon health, liver detoxification, and how colonics works in our internal organs. I've learned so much from her. Her approach is very gentle and professional and will help you feel at ease and comfortable as she expertly guides you through the process. She's highly skilled at guiding you through the experience and will help you feel amazing. I seriously LOVE my experience with her. After each treatment, I feel AMAZING!!! It's such a satisfying experience. I literally sing and dance before my appointment lol because I'm so happy I'm about to have another treatment with her! I'm not the only one. I once was in the waiting room and saw the guy before me dance out (no exaggeration lol I thought I was the only weirdo who gets inspired to dance by colonics lol) because he was so happy with the experience and results. The coffee + chlorophyl colonic combo is the best! Coffee helps your liver and colon detox and release bile and other toxins, while chlorophyl helps calm down and relax your system while enhancing the detox effects. I live a fairly healthy lifestyle and have a fairly clean diet, but it always blows my mind to see how much colonics can help me release and detox deeply. If you want optimal detox & cleansing effects, I recommend doing it a few times in a series. After a few and after a lot of toxins in the colon has been released, the colonic can really focus on liver detoxing and cleansing. It just makes my system feel so cleansed and so good. It makes my body feel light and clean, and gives me more energy and clarity. I think everyone needs this. I highly recommend them!!

She traveled out of country for several months. While there she had her teeth cleaned 3 months after her Driftwood appointment. The dentist showed her a cavity that was clearly obvious. Driftwood simply overlooked it - not doubt expecting to get a more expensive dental repair later. I was told recently I would need to have a new crown. I decided to get a second opinion. The 5-star dentist I saw said there was no point in having a crown done until I had obvious pain and problems coz it was a crown on a crown and would get into the bone - and that could be years away. Driftwood Dental is in it for the win. I liked this group. But after what they did with my wife's crown and daughter's overlooking of her cavity - they are NOT TO BE TRUSTED. PERIOD. END OF STORY.
