This place has a good selection of protein powders, supplements and various snacks, many of which are vegan-friendly. The woman working wasn't overly friendly and I felt like she was watching me and my friend like a hawk which automatically makes me uncomfortable. It is in a nice convenient spot right downtown on Barrington street, its organized very well and as mentioned does offer lots of vegan options.

I had the very good fortune to observe with Qing as part of my studies in TCM. She is a warm, caring, and super knowledgeable Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She's been in practice for 30 years, she was trained in China, and you couldn't be in better hands for treatment in Halifax. I watched one case come into her clinic so crippled up with pain he could hardly walk. 3 treatments later - he DANCED out the door. I watched her treat all kinds of complaints with very good results. She has a wall full of pictures of babies that were born after the mothers saw her for fertility treatments. People love her. You will too. And she's very funny. Yep. 5 stars.

We met every 4 weeks during isolation via video chat (which was sooo convenient!) I was able to learn more about the cause of my digestive issues & health them with proper whole foods & supplements. I was able to then reintroduce foods I hadn't had in years, I feel more energized, more confident in what I'm eating without the worry of how my stomach will feel afterwards ( yay no more social anxiety! ), with little to no bloating. I feel I gained so much knowledge on how to fuel & take care of my body with each session. I have & will continue to send people to Nicole, because without her I wouldn't be able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, food!

I am extremely sympathetic to a lot of the walk in clinics in Halifax - there is so much demand for…read morehealth providers currently so I can't imagine how overwhelmed those that work in it are. I always arrive at 7 to be given a number at 8:30 to maybe be seen at around 10:30. It's a long process, but much faster than other walk in clinics in Halifax from my experience. It really sucks that it takes out so much time from a day, especially if you're looking for prescription refills or small / quick procedures or check ups. The service is fine. The doctor is kind and efficient. It's nothing to write home about, but again- I can imagine everyone working in this field being overwhelmed and having to put up with a lot of impatience and harsh words. I try to redirect my frustration at the overall health system we have in place rather than the individual. I was unimpressed with the amount of ants everywhere - I don't know if this is because of the clinic being inside of Superstore, the trash not being taken out, or some other reason. It also doesn't smell clean, which is off putting for a clinic. When I wait for so long, especially to have someone look after my health, I want to feel... clean? Sanitary? I have come here a few times, but was unimpressed with my most recent visit due to the ants and state of the clinic.

NOTE: I would have given a higher score had it not been with our experience with the front desk…read more And its not like we went to this place only 1 time. We went many times... Now my spouse and I have been seeking alternative treatments across the city and we were recommended to this place by our friend. We liked Mike who specializes in osteopath treatment. He was excellent but we have our beef with the way this organization's front desk operate and how they conduct their business. I've seen some unhappy clients complaint about being charge on their credit card and were very upset with the front desk and I can't say exactly for what reason but later on, when I brought my mother for treatment, I was forced to fill in the form with my credit card number on it. That was a little much, because I did not have to do that when I came in earlier. But it told me something - and it made alot of sense as recently as last week when my wife left a message to cancel an appointment, they did not read the message and immediately charge to her credit card on the day that appointment was suppose to happen, without any prior warning!!. So I can understand now why that customer was unhappy with the front desk in one of my earlier visits as this has happened many times before (I presume) and has happen to us now. Look, its not like we're going to run away. We like Mike, so we'll come back. We constantly go for this sorts of treatment and money is not an issue for us, but to be treated this way only puts a bad taste and obviously sends the wrong message. We want to be good and loyal customers, but don't you think loyal customers should be treated better eh??

I don't have much experience with Naturopathic medicine, and I blindly chose this location when I…read morefinally decided to seek out Naturopathic services because it was close to my house. But, I couldn't be more pleased with my choice! Since starting with Dr. Herrington in late fall, I've been extremely pleased with every experience I have at this health centre. The staff are friendly, completely accommodating, and are always smiling - and it's genuine, too. I can't say enough good things about everything to do with Halifax Naturopathic; it's had a huge impact on my own health. It's true that this type of health service isn't for everyone - you'll have to reevaluate a lot of personal health habits and commit to testing out changes, but trust me, even those who don't think they are in need of this type of treatment would likely see amazing benefits. The way I see it, is that a Naturopathic doctor is responsible for your well-being, and at Halifax Naturopathic, you are completely taken care of. The atmosphere is immediately calming, and every appointment I've had has started and ended on time. This never happens at a regular doctor's office! Their range of services encompasses the following: Clinical Nutrition Botanical Medicine Homeopathy Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Nutritional IV Therapy Chelation Therapy Neural Therapy Integrative Cancer Care

I…read moreneeded my IUD replaced and the administrative staff went above and beyond to get me in before I go on vacation, but that's only part of it. The receptionist was very warm and sensitive to the fact that their patients might feel a bit uncomfortable being there. (I wasn't, but it sure was refreshing to have my modesty validated) The doctor that treated me on my initial visit is the rarest breed of doctor who realises that, given it's my body, how I feel and what I need is important. I'm so used to feeling as though I'm somehow just borrowing my body and therefore, need permission instead of advice with regard to its care. She reminded me that I'm a pretty vital part of the equation. ;) The doctor who placed the device was incredible. This is my third Mirena and it was by far the most comfortable procedure I've had with the quickest recovery. I mean, it's not a cake walk, but she made me feel very relaxed and walked me through each step. I was a bit dizzy and hot after, but they put me in a private room to get my act together and made sure I had water and ice. In a province where doctors are difficult to get and when you finally find one taking new patients, they're overworked and pushed to the max, this entire team is a beacon of light. Thank you all so much.

This is a great clinic! I've been in a couple of times and have always found the experience & staff…read moreboth friendly and welcoming. It's easy to discuss any topic with the staff without feeling judged. I appreciate the privacy and confidentiality that the clinic employs, particularly with their phone contact - no giveaway name on caller ID and no name given for the clinic on voicemails. I can see how this would be particularly important for some folks. The clinic provides needed unbiased, science-based information, which is hugely important and sometimes hard to get for some topics like unwanted pregnancies. FYI: The clinic is a not-for-profit, so if you care about everyone being able to access sexual health services (e.g. paps, STI checks, pregnancy checks, birth control, IUD insertions, etc.), you can donate any amount to a collection box they have and they also write receipts for larger amounts.
