THIS IS A REVIEW FOR DR. AMINI ONLY I was a patient of Dr…read more Amini's for several years, but was recently informed that I had been removed from his practice because I had not been seen in-person for over six years. I am 49, healthy, active, and had no ongoing medical issues that required regular appointments. During the COVID period especially, patients were encouraged to use walk-in clinics and telehealth for non-urgent issues, which I did. Those visits should have been forwarded to my family doctor's office as part of my medical record. When I recently called to book mid-life preventative checkups and bloodwork, I was told I was no longer a patient. I had never been notified that I was at risk of being removed. I was surprised and frustrated, and in that moment I did mention that I might leave a negative review. That was said out of shock, but it doesn't change the underlying issue: being healthy and not needing frequent appointments resulted in losing my family doctor. I understand family doctors are in high demand, but it's disappointing to learn that maintaining good health and not using unnecessary appointments can be grounds for dismissal, especially when approaching an age where preventative care becomes more important. Continuity of care matters, and that was not supported here.

I have to express my gratitude to the whole team of BeWell clinic, especially to Dr. Baradaran and…read moreDr. Amini who helped me to relief my excruciating pain in the lower back area. Their compassion and care for their patients is genuine. The new technics they use (K-Laser and TPI injections) are truly helping, but without doctors' patience, attention to detail and truly listening to my needs it would not work out. The whole team is amazing, including all medical staff working in the front. Great team work! I will recommend this place to all people I know. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I'm heading out to Costa Rica and Panama next week, so I visited the Travel Clinic for a…read moreconsultation and to get vaccinated. This travel clinic is conveniently located right off of Broadway, there is plenty of street parking close by. Or it's a short 5 minute walk from the Broadway-City Hall Canada Line station. I was able to make an appointment the day before and they accomodated me right away. I came in and had to wait less than 3 minutes before the doctor called me in for my consultation. Dr. Suni Boraston was awesome. She had me walk her through the cities I was planning on visiting and then let me know what vaccinations I would need depending on where I was traveling to. Lucky for me, I only needed to get a typhoid booster shot. Initially I thought I was going to have to get a Yellow Fever shot, which is a bit expensive, so I was happy that I didn't need to get one. Once the consultation was finished, Dr. Boraston had me go back to the waiting room to wait for the nurse to get my shot. I only waited about 5 minutes before the nurse called me in. She walked me through the process and let me know the side effects (sore arm) and then gave me the shot. Luckily, I'm one of the few people who aren't afraid of shots, which comes in handy for times like this. I was in and out of there within 20 minutes. Easy peasy. Also, if you check in on Yelp, you get a free mosquito repellant. Now I'm set for my trip.

I know that reception support can be a tough job but their reception staff should not be in the field of patent care. Rude. Abrupt. Impatient. And incredibly condescending.

My mom got me a groupon for Angel Hands for a full body massage. The place is kind of tucked away…read moreand is not what I expected. Don't expect a spa-like establishment. There was no reception to greet you - you kind of have to figure out who to speak to to let them know you are there for a massage. Once you get past the entrance area, it gets nicer. I had my massage and when they said full body - they really mean full body. From the scalp, to the forehead, to the very tips of your toes. I must say that it was probably one of the nicest massages I've had. The one thing that I did not appreciate though is that, although I was expecting to be smothered in massage oil, it would have been nice to have them wipe it off. Other spas wipe off the oils off your skin after the massage with a warm towel so you are not covered in grease. I was so greasy from head to toe when I left the place. I literally rushed home and jumped in the shower and scrubbed myself silly because I was covered in grease. It was quite uncomfortable driving home in that (there was even a grease stain on my interior door where I had rested my elbows). So if you go here for a massage, make sure you are going straight home as you will be all greasy and gross from the massage oil.

In-person treatments with Mihael have always felt energetic for me. So when I recently experienced…read moredistance-shiatsu healing from him as an alternative to physical touch therapy, it felt like an extension of the work he has been doing with me for many years. I prepared the same way I always do for in-person sessions--centred my mind and body for receiving mode. I experienced subtle sensations and movement in my body during the session. My mind shifted quickly into a meditative state which I relate to as the space of co-creation. What I had sensed was affirmed back to me when Mihael shared his notes with me after the treatment. I was left with a deepened sense of clarity and alignment in my mind and body. Mihael's offering of distance-shiatsu healing highlights his innate abilities to connect and treat beyond physical touch.

Without a doubt, one of the best physicians I have ever had. He is kind, patient, a great listener…read moreand thorough. His office runs a tight ship with short wait times.

As far as my opinion of Dr. Van Eeden is concerned, he's incredible. He's also unbelievably busy,…read morebut that is a side effect of our entire medical system. He's always willing to answer questions, educate and is willing to put in work to get it right for his patients. You may read about the secretary's never answering the phone, as it always seems to be an answering service, and that is my experience as well, but that does not detract from the doctors level of care.

This past week, my iud had been somewhat dislodged and I was experiencing contractions so I had to see someone to get this figured out. I was going to try going to a nearby medical clinic, as it was Saturday, but realized most doctors at clinics wouldn't want to investigate my situation as I'm on my period, and most probably wouldn't even have the experience or know-how to be able to help me at all. So I made an appointment with Dr. Kennett, who I know and trust and who has experience with this sort of thing and she was amazing at making me feel better and in the end, by removing my iud. I would highly recommend her for this type or any other type of visit. She is efficient, knowledgeable, experienced and wonderful to have as your dr.

I have visited Jolene on multiple occasions over the past few years, for a variety of issues…read morespanning anxiety, skin issues, nutrition, women's health (I will never go to anyone else for a pap smear as long as she is doing them!) and more. I keep coming back as a loyal patient because Jolene's approach is the ultimate balance of professionalism, compassion and an enthusiasm for her work, as well as deep knowledge. She is a walking encyclopedia, and she conveys her wisdom and intellect through the lens of someone who really, truly cares and exhibits great passion for what she does. She has changed the way I see my health, and I will continue to see her because I enjoy her insight and her energy so much. I have learned a great deal from this amazing woman. She is unabashedly honest but always respectful, humble, and non-judgemental. For breast exams and pap smears, no one comes close. I have major body image issues and Jolene is always efficient and professional while at the same time going out of her way to put her patients at ease. I cannot recommend her enough- my perspective on life and my body, and my health in general has changed drastically for the better since I met her. Jolene is a rare gem- a doctor who stands in a realm all her own.

I first met Dr. Wilkie at UBC as I had been sent there by my doctor…read more I had a prolapsed Uterus and Dr. Wilkie was called in to have a look at me. That evening he actually called my home to see how I was doing as he had done a fairly thorough examination of my problem and just wanted to know if I felt okay. I did, and was amazed that a Doctor would take the time to call, It isn't heard of anymore. I decided to have surgery and asked Dr. Wilkie to do it. I had a complete hysterectomy and some repair work done. Dr. Wilkie is a very caring Physican , Every thing was done to make it as easy a surgery as possible. I stayed in one night and then went home with detailed instructions as to what to do. I am doing wonderful and am very thankful that I had such a talented and caring Doctor. I highly recomend Dr. Wilkie and he has my deep gratitude for all he has done for me. Kathy Cholod
