I admit that I usually reserve 5 star ratings for the places that really wowed me - and I honestly…read morecan say I was pleasantly 'wowed' by this place and the customer service of Benjamin Leung (or Ben). I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, and my doctor had referred me to another CPAP clinic to get a machine. I had no clue that I could actually shop around, had I known I wish I came here first. After purchasing the machine, and being on it for the first week I was absolutely dying. I felt much worse then before I started CPAP therapy. I was a habitual mouth breather, and was on the "pillows" mask. I found I was still "leaking" a lot from the mouth and wanted to get a full face mask, thinking this may help improve things. I googled around and found MRC Sleep and Snore clinic on Leslie. They are located in the plaza right off of, and facing Leslie with the Tim Hortons. Upon walking in I was pleasantly greeted by Ben though he was in the middle of things with another client. I told him I would take a quick look around, and found that the selection there was quite excellent. They had a wide range of machines, a large number of face masks on display and other CPAP related items. The last place I went to, they had to constantly show me a mask, or show me this or that like everything was hidden away. It really helped to see the different kinds of masks. As Ben was quite busy, he suggested to perhaps book a formal appointment to sit down and discuss my concerns. I booked an appointment for the next day not expecting too much, as I had already purchased my gear and just wanted a face mask. As Ben was booking me in, he said that its not a problem he would be happy to provide service to me as eventually if things are good I would come back anyways - This comment goes a very long way in my book as it shows that hes more then happy to help even though there may not be a sale at the end. He mentioned that I should bring in all my equipment so he can take a look at things. The next day I came in for my appointment, again not expecting much and brought in all my gear. He instantly recognized all my gear, as I assume its pretty standard and began looking into my machine. As he was going through options on the menu he was explaining each and every option - which my last place did not! Ben re-calibrated a few things and it was night and day when he asked me to give it a try with the new settings. In particular, he turned on "EPR" i think its called. With a CPAP machine, its basically a constant stream of air pushing into you. So exhaling, or breathing out proved to be a bit challenging. EPR reduces the pressure when you exhale, making it easier to breath out. He explained that likely when I was asleep and trying to breath out, the pressure from my nasal mask was too great, and the air escaped through my mouth. And once my mouth started hanging open with the pressure pushing out, that I would then wake up. He continued to go through all the settings of the machine, explained the pros and cons of this machine vs another one. He also spent a great deal of time explaining how best to clean and maintain the machine. Something the last place didnt do for me. When I first got the machine I was over whelmed at all the instructions. The tube needs to be cleaned once a week, the humidity chamber needs to use distilled water and cleaned once a month or so, the nasal mask needs to be cleaned once a day etc etc. It was pretty crazy, but Ben was very gracious to break it all down for me and make sense of things for me. Something that again, my last place neglected to do. He explained all the different types of face masks, and said that while he would have no problem selling me a full face mask to perhaps go home and give it another try with the new settings. Again I was wowed, as he basically spent an hour going over everything with me even though there was NO SALE. The other place I went to spent a total of 30 minutes with me. I walked in, they sold me a machine, checked me out and went through some basic settings and off I went dazed and confused. Even though I called them back, they put me with some other "consultant". Actually when speaking to both "consultants" neither of them suffered from sleep apnea, so I have little confidence that they would know all the annoyances that may happen while using the CPAP machine. Ben not only works in the CPAP industry, he is also a user. So he had a lot of keen insight that the other people I dealt with failed to have. The experience with Ben was night and day. Going forward I would definitely recommend paying him a visit, as I will be for all my CPAP needs. Thanks Ben

The only reason I am giving this 2 stars is because Benjamin's service is great. He takes time to…read moreexplain things well and isn't a pushy salesman. I give the actual business 0 stars because they charge ridiculous prices for anything that isn't covered by ADP (the ontario subsidy for CPAP units). They literally were going to charge me an additional 600 dollars for an APAP (auto unit) and the mask was about 250. I looked online and found out these prices were ABOVE retail prices. I think this business gets away with doing this because many people have really good insurance. I do not. I am a student. I have crappy student insurance (although i am grateful to have my crappy insruance :) ) I called around and found another place that had a trained RT (respiratory therapist) that helped me get fitted etc. and on top of that they worked with my insurance so that I was out of pocket only 13 dollars at the end of the day. The difference in price between that place and MRC was 400 dollars less on the APAP unit and 100 dollars less on the mask. Thats right - it was 500 dollars less than MRC!!! I think some people don't realize you can shop around on things like medical supplies. I would recommend doing so even if you have good insurance because you might be able to pick up extras (like a heated hose.... extra parts for your mask etc.) with the extra money.... or maybe you might just want to help keep your premiums low. so bottom line: I like Benjaminj's service.... but I wish he didn't work at MRC because whoever owns this place is ripping people off.

Little one and his mommy~Happily Ever After…read more Well this story is kinda like a Disney movie. It started off rough, not old school Disney's Dumbo rough but more like Pixar's Inside Out rough and ended with my little one and I having the sweetest nighttime moments. My heart swells with joy and pride when I think of how far we came with the help of Magda, our sleep consultant from Good Night Sleep. Here's our story: I have a 3 year old and a newborn. The 3 year old may have worn me down and we established not so healthy bedtime routines. There was a lot of stress leading up to the bedtime routine and honestly, I dreaded it. There would be tears, pleading, screaming that ultimately lead to me giving in and going in to lay with my toddler until he fell asleep. I thought it was a phase and I could deal with it but it wasn't and when the new baby came, I couldn't. That's when I reached out to Good Night Sleep and spoke to Magda. I remember feeling that I could breathe a little easier after that first call. Everything that I told Magda, she'd seen before and she was confident she could help us develop a nighttime routine that worked for our family. She did. She also helped me communicate it to my kiddo and get him excited about it. The first night.I was slightly terrified that first night but my little one surprised me and it went better than I could have dreamed. Was it easy, no. But he understood what was happening and every night after, it got better and better. Magda was also there every step of the way for two weeks to answer all my questions and adjust where needed. We've now had this new bedtime for 4 months and it's still going well. Instead of screening and crying, my night ends with hugs & kisses, and a night, night mommy...I Luv You. I'll take that fairy tale ending! I'm sure if you're doing your research and reading reviews, you're struggling in your own way with sleep. I would 100% say to Make the Call and Have a Conversation with their team of experts.

I wasn't sure what to expect sleep training an older baby. But wow did he do GREAT. We opted for a…read moregradient approach (using check ins) but he didn't even need it! I went in ONE TIME to reassure him, on night two, and that was it. With Jennifer's incredible support and education on baby's sleep needs and biology Neo was sleeping 12 hours a night from night one. I believe babies take many of their cues from mom's confidence or lack thereof and Jennifer gave me so much confidence through this process which gave Neo confidence and made this whole thing go SO smoothly. I went from nursing my toddler on and off for the entire night every single night to fully night weaned (we still enjoy our morning and early evening nursing sessions) and I have slept 7 hours for 3 or 4 nights straight now after such a very long time of an extremely broken 5-6 hours a night and I know it will just improve from here. Baby is well rested for the first time in his life and knows he is totally capable of putting himself to sleep and getting himself back to sleep if he does wake. Thank you so much, Jennifer, this has been life changing for my family!

Then I met Kim, a sleep angel sent from the sleep gods! My son was almost 6 months old and waking every 1-2 hours, only able to fall back asleep with nursing. Naps were no more than 30 minutes and it took everything to get him to sleep because he was always overtired. Kim created a personalized plan that suited our parenting style and our sons temperament. Within a few days we were seeing dramatic improvements and our son was so much happier! Kim always made sure we were comfortable with the plan and genuinely cared about how our son was progressing. She was always available to trouble shoot problems and offer new techniques when our son was resisting change. Kim always explained the reasoning behind everything we encountered and kept us accountable so we stuck to the plan! My husband and I would highly recommend Kim to any family that is in need of sleep!!

A fair assessment was not given. A true sleep study would provide ideal sleeping conditions such as room lighting, minimal noise, air quality and non evasive diagnostic probes and sensors, ideal sleeping positions allowed and a suitable comfortable bed to get an accurate uninterrupted sleep. All of these conditions were not provided. Very disappointed in how they handled a possible concern rather than making it a false positive concern. Would expect more from a health care provider.

I have been to this store twice in my life. The first time was over a decade ago when it was called…read moreShoppers Home Health Care. Some Shoppers Drug Mart (SDM) stores have a home health care store that is separate from the drugstore and is often next door. It appears that these home health care stores have been rebranded and are known as Wellwise by SDM. After my doctor's appointment, I was in need of a wrist spica splint for my slightly swollen wrist and irritated thumb. My go-to drugstore did not carry it. I visited the SDM at highway 7 and Warden. I got a helpful pharmacist who said that he only had a finger splint. He recommended visiting this Wellwise store. He pointed me into the right direction. The store is two doors down from SDM, which is next to T&T. On a Saturday, the parking lot is super busy with folks who cannot back out of parking spots to survive. After seeing a woman take her sweet time backing out and leaving in front of me, I swooped into a spot closer to CIBC and walked over to Wellwise. I saw the splints at the back of the store. Never having worn one, I had no idea which one I needed. I lined up at the front and a female staff member was great helping me out. She recommended the longer wrist-thumb splint. She gave me a medium to try. It fit, but I needed something larger. The one that I settled for is black with red trim, which reminds me of my high school colours. The other one that didn't come in a large was all black. I tried the former on and it was comfortable considering how crazy it appeared. It looks like a mini straitjacket. I had a prescription, so the woman took some time to create an official receipt for me for my claim. She was great. My local pharmacy gave me a photocopy of my prescription, which was faint. I helped the woman with my address and phone number, as they were difficult to read on the prescription. This woman was thorough. She wanted to make sure that spica splint on the prescription was okay for the splint model that I was about to purchase. She checked with her colleague and it was all good. Yay! I paid with a debit card. There is no tax on this type of splint. You can also use your PC Optimum card here to get points. Bonus! I thanked this woman for all her help. I walked out with my new splint in its box. I am probably different when it comes to looking forward to wearing a splint. I simply wanted some relief and help. I got to my car and immediately put it on. I've had it for almost a day now. It's comfortable to wear. I drove fine with it on. I do need to adjust how I type, which keeps my left thumb off the spacebar. I like it. I slept well in it. I also feel like I have superpowers with it on, but I don't! I had excellent help getting a wrist-thumb splint. I got great care and customer service. I also learned so much about splints. It was quite the crash course to find one that suited my ailment. I hope that I don't need to return to this store, but know that you are in good hands if you do need something here. (202)
