I absolutely would not recommend this clinic to anyone seeking naturopathic remedies here. Came here for TWO appointments in total, never again. I'd give this clinic 1/10 if I could. Here are the reasons why:
1. Extremely rude and impatient receptionist over the phone. It was my first time booking a naturopathic appointment and of course I would have a lot of questions. She was never accommodating over the phone. Also, she informed me they open at 10am. I showed up the next day at 10:15am one day for supplement pick up. Had to wait until 10:50am until her to show up and open the office. What a waste of a patient's time.
2. Doctor gave little effort to understanding patient's history. It was not until I tried out another naturopath that I realized how little Dr. Jheeta cared to put in the time too understand my medical history and any health problems I have had in the past, as a child and as adult, any food or environmental allergies. First meeting he talked to me for max 10 MINUTES before giving me a "supposed" conclusion and the cause of my problems. For an initial consultation fee of $170 or so, you would expect the doctor to put into more effort to understand you before making possible conclusions. The 45min consultation was really 15 min of talking and 30 min of telling me to do expensive test and supplements, which brings me to my next point.
3. Doctor was very quick and eager to max out my extended health benefits! After the 15 min talkHe very quickly proceeded to prescribing me a $400 test (which I later one did find out should normal cost around $150-$300 at other places), and a package of expensive supplements (another $200 on top). All those are after he found out I have extended health coverage through my employer.
Yes it was my own fault for not asking around friends for better recommendation, and yes naturopathic treatment is never a definitive answer and can be subjective. But overall the service and how little care I received as a patient after two appointments have been extremely poor. Do not go to this clinic! read more
