I've been here a few times. It's clean and very close to where I live. Located on Seymour, south of…read moreNelson street. I came here two different times when I had had severe asthma attacks. The first time I was rushed in with no wait, and immediately hooked up to a nebulIzer. Then they decided I needed additional treatment, and so they called St Paul's Hospital Emergency and sent me there by cab. I was able to be seen and hooked up with no wait. The next time I had another severe asthma attack, they weren't quite as helpful. They made me wait, even though I clearly was having an extremely hard time breathing. I was wheezing badly and felt I couldn't get any oxygen to my lungs. The Dr who saw me acted aloof and like I was an inconvenience to him. I asked about the nebulIzer and he blew me off - even though I clearly was having major problems breathing. He didn't give me anything at the office, so I continued to have my attack until my RX was filled! I went away still feeling the same as when I arrived- I was not happy ! It was a horrible cold day that we had a snow storm and everything was frozen. It took a long time to get anywhere. My husband had to go fill my RX for me which took forever. Anyone with asthma knows how scary it is when you can't breathe. I was wheezing so loud and couldn't catch my breath. I couldn't believe he sent me away still having a full blown asthma attack! I haven't been back since.

This guy is a professional. I cannot believe someone could treat a patient like this. I think he needs to pull his head out of his butt. I did everything I was told and did he give reception crap? to me now I would recommend a different neurologist. Dr. kanungo is not the neurologist You want to see if this is how he treats his patients and his staff. Zero stars on my part.

From the owner: What is osteopathy? The practice of balancing and correcting…read moreproblems relating to the musculoskeletal system, relieving pain, and encouraging the body to heal itself. When the bones, joints and muscles are not working harmoniously, other systems of the body begin to stop functioning smoothly. Osteopathic philosophy contends that the body is capable of healing itself, but only when the musculoskeletal system is properly aligned. An osteopath manipulates and applies pressure to the affected part of the body to release stress and tension. Unlike Chiropractic which concentrates mainly on the manipulation of the spine, osteopathy also works on organs and other bones within the body, improving posture, relieving pain and promoting a well-functioning body.

Dr. Carin Strydom is, bar none, the most compassionate doctor I have ever seen. (And I used to be a…read moredoctor myself so please trust me when I say she is truly exceptional in this regard.) She is knowledgeable without arrogance, caring without condescension, and completely devoid of hubris. Dr. Strydom is always willing to think outside the box and explore alternative treatment options. She does not look down her nose at naturopathy as other MDs tend to do, and was very open to working in conjunction with my own naturopath in managing my complex medical condition. Where other doctors have been dismissive and off-putting, Dr. Strydom's only agenda has been to maximize my quality of life. As a disabled person with sporadic and limited bearable hours, Dr. Strydom's efforts in this regard have literally saved my life. The clinic itself is very busy, and sometimes the staff can come across as impatient, but they have never failed to assist me with various additional paperwork and special requests that are, unfortunately, part and parcel of being a disabled person in this province.

Receptionist was so pleasant it was unbelievable, what a "gem" and lab tech who was working by herself because of a shortage of staff was super nice and very efficient.

Not their fault the system is close to the edge, but without their efforts every day, the system would definitely hit a wall.

By the time I had arrived I was so hopped up on morphine I didn't really know what was happening. First a nurse, Sabrina (I have no idea how I remember her name out of everyone) took my temperature. Still not that high. Maybe the nurse at the Whistler Health Centre was right, maybe I did just have a bad stomach ache. Then Dr. Gaully examined me. The next thing I know I am being rushed into the OR with someone trying to get as much information as they can from me before they put me under general. I started crying. I couldn't take it in. I was trying to explain to everyone that it was just a stomach ache and that I was going to get an MRI tomorrow in Vancouver. The anesthesiologist looked at me with concern in his eyes and said, "We don't have that kind of time. We need to operate on you now. Now take a puff of this inhaler....Good now breathe and count to...." The next thing I knew someone was waking me up. My whole body was in pain. For the next twelve hours someone would come in regularly to take my vitals and make sure I was doing ok. While I was conked out, my friend who came with me to the hospital was allowed to sleep on a couch in the break room. They really went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable too. After two days I was released. Because they just didn't have the technology I have a big old-fashioned appendix scar instead of one of the modern three little nothings that most people. I'm not complaining though, for without them, I would have died. As it was, my appendix was already oozing and was just about to burst when they operated. My heart goes out to all of the amazing doctors and nursed who helped me. It was far superior care than any I've gotten in the states.

My work required good hearing, so I've had it checked off and on for, oh, 20+ years. Dr. McLean is hands down the best I've seen. Her pre-audiologist degree is in neuropsych, so she can clearly and thoroughly explain how intimately your brain is tied into your hearing. My employee insurance ended with my retirement 2 years ago, but I religiously see her annually and happily pay for the examination as she tests me again, tweaks my hearing aids, checks their condition, and updates all advice and recommendations. My hearing aids were pretty $$$, but after I got them I met various friends who went cheap/down-market and clearly regretted it. I doubt they got as good service from their audiologists, either.
