Really great OBGYN. Wait room time can be long, but that's only cause she doesn't rush her patients. If you are pressed for time, make sure your appointment is the first one of the day. read more

I saw so many wonderful reviews before heading in here for my IUD and they really helped, so I…read morethought I'd offer my two cents. I didn't have Dr. Wiebe although I have to say, I wish I did because she sure sounded amazing. I had another doctor who was also great, but I was not prepared for the pain. I had the anesthetic injected, which I didn't even feel, but I don't know what it did at all because I still writhed from the pain. Luckily, it only lasted about three seconds at a time - inserting the IUD and then perhaps cutting the strings after? Not sure why it hurt twice. It was the most shocking pain, but just know that it is temporary. Afterwards, my blood pressure went super low from the shock and I lay down for a while. Definitely bring someone with you! If I wasn't there with my mum, I would have felt very fragile and vulnerable. The doctors and nurses are all busy, so it's really crucial to have someone just sit with you afterwards. Overall, every woman's body is different so even though it was extremely & temporarily painful, that doesn't mean it will be the same for you. Some women can go back to work after, others are wiped out. All you can do is bring someone with you, have an advil and use the heating pack offered, and maybe ask for another form of anesthetic? Because mine was useless (unless it would have been even more painful without it... in which case I would have literally died not to be dramatic...). Thanks to everyone there!
This was my first time getting an IUD and let me say it was a bit scary and horrible. I had gotten…read morean inhaler to help manage the pain, doctor hippola entered the room and I was very nervous because this was my first time she saw I was scared and proceeded to tell me to drag my butt down multiple times which I needed time but I was scared to say it. The window was left open which made me nervous someone from outside could see. She then explained what the inhaler would do like just make you loopy and how to use it, she then proceeded to tell me that I was not allowed to talk the whole procedure which I found very odd. As I was inhaling it I started to get extremely loopy and could barely keep my hand on it because I started blacking out she then kept saying in a rude manner, keep your mouth on it! Three times mind you I was so out of it I started crying uncontrollably because I was terrified and I didn't like the feeling of not knowing what was happening as well as everything went black, I was under the impression I would still be awake and feel it, my fiancé said I kept saying ow and I'm sorry. When it was done I was told to get dressed and go to the rest room to relax, because I was so out of it I felt super faint and nauseous I couldn't stand up just yet, a nurse then came back twice in less then five minutes to tell me I needed to get out and go to the rest room. My fiancé helped me get dressed and at this point I was still crying because I was so out of it. I felt so rushed and that my wellbeing and how I was feeling just got pushed off to the side. I'm not coming back if this is how they are gonna treat people. It was like they were Herding people in and out.

The WORST medical service I have ever experienced. I was waiting for this appointment for more…read morethan 6 months. When I came for my appointment with Dr. Muir, she wasn't there, and the other doctor was covering her shift. The receptionist didn't even call me to say that I will be seeing a different doctor. Following the appointment, I got a referral for an ultrasound to check my cyst and went for the ultrasound, but never got the results. When I finally called Dr Muir's office, they told me I need to follow up with my family doctor, so I did. My family doctor never received the results either. What a disaster and a waste of time! I also had had swab test done at Dr Muir's and the result didn't show up anything because the lab said not enough material collected. I asked to repeat the test and got an answer that I should just take antibiotics instead to treat whatever symptoms I had, without knowing what condition I had because the test didn't work. I had to schedule another test after a referral from my family doctor. Don't forget that waiting time to be seeing is 6-9 month (accordingly Affinity Women's Health Shannon Soga, Office Manager)!!!!! What's wrong with these people at this clinic and the whole system in general??? None of the people seem to have the intention to do good work or explain anything to the patient about the actual treatment. Also very unprofessional staff at the reception desk; very indifferent and negligent in their behavior!

Dr. Anand is kind, patient and knowledgable. So far every appointment I've met with her has been positive. Most of the staff are friendly except for a younger receptionist at the front desk. If it weren't for all the other staff, she would have brought the rating down for this place. Girlfriend needs to learn about customer service or really, just smile. The office and washroom are new and clean. Parking is plentify out front by meter.

She didn't give me the chance to speak or ask questions, which made me feel dismissed and uncomfortable. She came across as someone who believed she knew better and that what I said didn't matter. At the same time, she did not seem particularly informed or knowledgeable, which made the interaction even more frustrating. I left the appointment feeling confused, judged, and unsupported. In my opinion, Dr. Yarlagadda would benefit from additional training in communication and patient care. A gynecologist should make patients feel heard, respected, and confident in the care they receive--unfortunately, that was not my experience.

They are a teaching facility in which a student may (in addition to the doctor) be in attendance at your appointment however you have full say at whether the student can be in the room or not. At this appointment the doctor also, upon finishing, requested a followup apt which is something the last doctor 5 years ago didn't request. It's nice to see the care and attention.

Appointments arevery easy to set up - the receptionist Vicki is friendly and good at fitting you in for an appt. if you're in pain. As for Dr. Fay, he's very professional, patient, and thorough in his approach. He goes through all the family history, prescribes necessary tests and does a great job at diagnosing issues as a step by step process. The appointments are usually on time (maybe 5 mins late on average). And even though they are swamped, you never feel it, when you're in the dostors office, you're the only patient. and I think that's what matters ! The good thing about his location is that there are test labs etc in the same building, and a pharmacy on the ground floor, and the hospital is also just across the street. So its a one stop for all your medical needs :)

When you go in bearing paperwork to get an xray done, they usher you into change rooms which (from having recently hung out in emergency at Van General) are super swanky for a medical facility. You get your own little change room, a bench to leave your things and a mirror so you can put yourself back together nicely (or take Instagram pictures in your awesome hospital gown...) The xray tech was super straight forward and speedy. Though, there was a whole, apron falling off/me awkwardly trying to adjust it while listening to instructions on how to do three things simultaneously while holding my breath... but the process was quick, painless and tops, 15 minutes total. The one thing I will say, is they don't really tell you what to do at the end. I didn't know if I had to sign something or submit a form and spent a good five minutes awkwardly hopping from foot to foot in the reception area before the tech noticed me and assured me I was done and could go. But like I said, xray newb so maybe this is the norm. All in all, pretty straight forward and painless 15 minutes at what could easily have been a stressful place.

I highly recommend going with these midwives.

The clinic changed hands a few years ago and the entire operation (both midwives and staff) has changed. I went to Pacific Midwifery before and after the transition, so I have a unique perspective. Half way through my first pregnancy, in mid-2013, I was a patient at Pacific and ended up getting "bounced" and sent to another practice. My experience at Pacific prior to the transfer was less than stellar. After the transfer, I ended up with a pair of midwives who were amazing. Hedieh was one of the two. When I became pregnant again in late-2015 I learned Hedieh (who I love) had moved to Pacific (oh no)! I decided my relationship with Hedieh trumped my prior bad experience with the clinic, so I decided to go back. I'm so glad I did. The new staff is wonderful. The space is beautiful. And Hedieh herself is a gem. She is extremely experienced, and it shows in everything she does. The pre- and post- natal care I received from her with both babies was phenomenal and I cried after my last discharge appointment :) In short, I highly recommend her, and I can't speak for the rest of the practice personally, it sounds like people are really happy. They have a lactation consultant, binders full of resources, and a lending library (and I think they might even have prenatal courses in the clinic now). If you are still deciding between an OB, GP, or midwife, one of the things I didn't realize would be so different was post-partum care. The post-partum care you get with a midwife (at least in my experience) is the gold standard, for both baby and for mom. It's pretty special to have someone looking out for you in that period.
