    A few months back, my husband told me he wanted to see a Naturopath. He was diagnosed with SIBO…read moreearlier this year and has chronic stomach issues. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease years ago and my villi have not grown back despite a strict Gluten Free diet. Neither one of us had ever seen a Naturopath before, due to the old stigma around naturopathic medicine. After having such bad experiences with Doctors and feeling hopeless, we both decided to give it a shot. After lots of Google research, I came across Dr. Lindsay Irwin at Marda Loop Naturopathic and Wellness Clinic. When I first called to book my husband's appointment, I spoke with Layle. She gave me an excellent first impression of the clinic, and patiently answered my many questions. Whenever I have spoken with Layle to book appointments since, she's been very kind and genuinely cares about how you are doing. Our Doctors really gave Layle the run-around to get copies of our Lab Results, but she was determined to help us. We really wanted to get Dr. Irwin's second opinion and find out what she thought would be the best measures to take to improve our health. We can both honestly say that Dr. Lindsay Irwin has changed our lives for the better! After our first appointments, we were both blown away by her Clinical knowledge. Also, I have never met a better listener in my life. I had gotten so accustomed to dismissive Doctors with the attitude that they know everything. Dr. Lindsay Irwin listens, she believes you, she cares, and she gives you hope. You don't just have to learn to live with your diagnosis, imagine that! There's things that you can actually do to improve your chronic conditions and isn't some hogwash medicine. For treatment that actually works, go see Dr. Irwin, and she'll change your life too!

    I've been going to Marda Loop for about three years now, and I do believe Dr Roth helped a lot…read more It's not that I had had a whole ton of health issues before, but the quality of my sleep got improved (that was the initial complaint), dysmenorrhea had gotten significantly better; I had a genetic test that was done and overall things have gotten much better. And Emmery at the front desk is awesome! =)

    I am in my mid twenties and for the last 4 years I have had a lot of fatigue. I had met with my…read morefamily Dr. on a few different occasions to talk with her about it, she helped by changing some prescriptions and trying some supplements. That just didn't seem to help the problem. so I decided to seek out someone who may be able to help me in a natural way, that was when a friend recommended Dr. Gaul. I was told by my friend that it was tough to get into see her, but when I called it was only a week wait. So that seemed like a good start to me! The receptionist sent me a 16 page client information form to fill out. It felt like I was writing a book about my life, everything from dental work to what my fears are! It was definitely the most in depth form I have or probably will ever fill out! I faxed it back to the office so that the Dr. had time to review it before our appointment. Finding the office was a bit difficult, the sign is hard to see. So I ended up parking a couple blocks away and walking to find it. There is a parking lot for the building, which I recommend using. The office is nice and dim, I felt very relaxed sitting in the waiting room. They have a little play area for kids. There is also lots of information around about the therapies they do at the clinic. You can even sign out some of the books they have. It was very quiet when I was there, I'm pretty sure I was the only patient. Dr. Gaul is very friendly, she introduced herself and we went into her office to chat. We talked for about an hour, going over my forms. At the end she seemed pretty confident she knew what the issues where and explained to me what she thought. She took me into another room to do an autonomic response test, which I can't really explain. She was testing the response of my organs, pretty much. After the test she talked with me about the recommended treatment and plan for the next 4 months. I can not say enough about how nice it was to have someone listen to me, I didn't feel like I was crazy for not having a physical illness causing my problems! I felt so comfortable with Dr. Gaul, she was very conversational! As a follow up I returned after my 4 months and my fatigue was still an issue. I had improvement in other areas of my health so I knew something was working. She did another test on me, this time related to emotional storage. She told me that she had never seen so many conflicting issues on all levels as I had. That kinda threw me for a loop! She chatted with me a bit, explaining what that meant and perhaps why I would have that going on. It began to make sense to me. She started me on a homeopathic treatment, layer by layer. She again seemed confident that we would sort things out soon. I have started the treatment and have been on it for 2.5 months now. It was a rough start, I was an emotional wreck for a few weeks, but I can honestly say that I feel better! I do really feel that after 4 years I am on the right track! All thanks to Dr. Gaul! The appointments are quite pricey, almost $300 for the initial visit, so this is an investment in ones health. Its not like you go back every month, so in retrospect it isn't bad. The supplements and homeopathic remedies are another expense, approx $50-75 a month for me, which I know could be worse. I highly recommend that people like me, who are starting to feel lost or like you are stuck, in regards to your health, should give Dr. Gaul a chance to help you. I myself know it was a good decision, maybe it will be for you too!

    Dr. Allissa Gaul is special. I have been going to Dr. Allissa for roughly 8 years now. She just…read moreseems to have the inside incite on concerns that other doctors haven't been able to help me with. Through her, my health has improved over the years. I have been able to get over some serious health bumps. I have had someone that I could talk about any concern with. I have grown as a person. I have sent many family and friends to her. Most importantly to me, Dr. Allissa was there for my both my parents when they were in serious health difficulties. From a distance even, she was still able to prescribe gentle treatments that greatly improved quality of their lives. They have both passed now at 89 and 90. I am so grateful to her.

He always has a big smile and a welcoming energy that just makes you feel safe. That says a lot from a young woman who is petrified of needles. He has patience like I've never see before in anyone, and for that I can't say thank you enough. Had he not had the patience for sometimes upwards of a hour to do a needle, I would't be able to type today. I go to him for everything, and never once has he been stumped. While being treated it's never dull, as I am a sponge to all his knowledge. Sometimes I wonder if he is the smartest man in the world! I feel gratitude that I know him and I appreciate being his patient. I have seen Dr. Jana Exner through the years as well and she is a breath of fresh air. She is amazing, and so compassionate! I have seen the growth in Paradigm over the years and couldn't be happier with the level of ND's who are a part of Paradigm. I would find it hard to believe if anyone had a bad experience here. I just think the world of Paradigm and feel it's such a small thing for me to write a review...but it's the only way I know how to say thanks and share with the world my gratitude!

    SO RUDE. If I could give a zero I would. I spent 2 weeks trying to get ahold of someone to get an…read moreappointment and move on with treatment as I was diagnosed with MS and need to get care asap. The receptionist was so rude and talking over me telling me "ok, right, thank you" before I could ask a question to clarify what she was saying and meaning as her accent was obviously hindering our communication. I was trying SO hard to be calm and clear and kind as I hate getting annoyed and being rude. They wanted me to pay $250 a week in advance for my phone consultation/initial appointment with Haggerty and then I had to go hunt down my medical records for the good Dr or pay their office for all the tests they would request because "they are private". DEEP BREATH. Then the Receptionist phoned me back to cancel my appointment because she ran my cc that was supposed to be on file (I have a special one I use for just such occasions), she originally told me that my card would be charged immediately after my phone appointment with the Doctor which is normal but then called me back to cancel my appointment because the card did not go through and tell me I am out of luck. Thanks for NOTHING except for increasing my stress while I am sick and can't afford more stress. Also, taking money before providing your treatment is not normal practice and reeks of being a money grab. I guess I should be thankful this happened because by the sounds of other reviews and experiences, I dodged a bullet when vulnerable. You all should do the same and spare yourself s the abuse.

    Awful.. The front desk staff are incredibly rude and could care less about doing their job.. My…read moremistake was I attempted to reach out over the course of 3 months before getting a response, let alone an appointment. They are terribly unprofessional and it shocks me how these people are able to keep a job in this city as they provide truthfully the worst customer and patient care and service. I always want to give places the benefit of the doubt and never like to write negative comments on a business as i know there are many factors that come in to play with a persons experience.. I truthfully wanted to keep a positive view and experience but the type of people they have working at the administrative/management positions are unbelievably incompetent and are incredibly insensitive and careless with their work. ******* Although my profile says I am from san francisco, I can assure you, I have been a patient of this clinic and I reside in Calgary, AB********

I like that Dr. Kirk is honest and forthcoming, but she will also work with you to ensure your treatment plan is realistic for your needs.

    I have been under the care of Dr. Mark Swain for almost twenty years for a chronic condition that…read morehas given me very little grie.f. However, it needs to be monitored, and Dr. Swain is the specialist that I work with. I have always known that he is a very good doctor. However, I did a presentation in November, 2010 when Dr. Swain was appointed the Cal Wenzel Family Foundation Chair in Hepatology, and I really learned how incredible this man`s credentials are. My experience of him as a doctor, is someone who listens, asks questions, is compassionate, knowledgable and is always honest. Over the years, as alternative health options have been cropping up, I have asked him all kinds of questions regarding my treatment, and he has handled my requests with patience and honesty. Further, in the rare occassion where I have had trouble, he has been accessible. He truly does care about the work that he does, and his patients. He always makes time. In addition to taking on patients, Dr. Swain also holds other responsibilities in his field. I have done my best to paraphrase some of his credentials for this review, and I have also included a link to his full credentials as well. - Acting Head for the Division of Gastroenterology, University of Calgary (U of C) and Alberta Health Services (AHS) - Professor of Medicine, Hepatologist and Clinician-Scientist at the U of C. - He has won many awards for teaching and research, including the U of C Watanabe Distinguished Achievement Award for Overall Excellence. - He is currently the Cal Wenzel Family Foundation Chair in Hepatology, and the Head of the Translational Research Core for the Snyder Institute, at the U of C Source: http://www.departmentofmedicine.com/documents/announcements/swain_head_announcement.pdf When I learned in November, 2010 that he is also holds so many other titles and roles within the medical community, I am just further astounded and impressed that he actually has the time to provide the level of care that he does. I feel extremely fortunate. For any patients who are researching Dr. Swain, be advised that if you have been placed under his care, you are a dealing with the cream of the crop. Not only for his credentials, but for his bedside manner as well.
