Best Basal Insulin Analysis Vancouver Near Me

Cara T: Dr. Tom Elliot has demonstrated impatience and a lack of willingness to listen to patient concerns. He also did not review reports sent from the patient's family doctor. This behavior could be interpreted as neglectful and dismissive of patient needs. It may be advisable to seek out another practitioner if one desires a more respectful and attentive healthcare experience.

James Campbell-Page: This clinic is effective at advocacy and I am in their debt for it. For instance, they advocated for my continual glucose monitor to be covered by provincial medical insurance. They have saved me a tremendous amount of time, money and energy in their work.The team here is nice too.

Trineta Bhojwani: Dr. Kali Malsaac was absolutely amazing. The first doctor who actually understood all aspects of my issue layer by layer and how they were linked. I've never had anyone try to understand me in as much depth. I had my first appointment with her today and excited to see how my health journey continues with her. She was recommended to me from the amazing naturopath/author Lara Briden (she works in New Zealand) and so grateful I found her :)

Alyce: I had a great experience during my visits at Acubalance the staff are very welcoming and Bronwyn is a very caring, knowledgeable and professional practitioner. Thank you for having me!

Emily Allaire: Allison was amazing in helping me feel comfortable during my pregnancy. I had never done acupuncture before and an glad I went here. I felt supported after a previous loss and went on to have a healthy pregnancy and beautiful baby! Thank you Allison and acubalance.

Mariana Silva: Best acupunture clinic in Vancouver. My cyst pain is gone since I started going there. Dr.Ryan Funk, excellent doctor, caring and with a lot of knowledge.

Arianna Nadeau: I have absolutely loved my experience with acupuncture and low light laser therapy! Great staff, the ladies at the front desk are very nice and have been so understanding when I had to cancel appointments when my dog was sick. Allison has been my acupuncturist and she has been nothing short of amazing! She truly cares so much, listens, is understanding and gives great advice. Allison is very gifted at what she does and has immense knowledge. She makes you feel calm and really helped me so much through my IVF process. I have a very hard time getting my mind to shut off and cannot sit still, but found my appointments to be relaxing and therapeutic. Allison, I cannot thank you enough for all of your help through this journey! I am 4.5 weeks pregnant so far and I truly feel if I hadn't gone to Acubalance and met Allison that I would not be where I am today. She really helped me to relax even when I didn't know how. Thank you!!

Jen Leibly: I was incredibly disappointed with Acubalance and their exorbitant costs. I am not a fan of acupuncture in general, but was doing it at the recommendation of my doctor. When I am told that a session will last a certain amount of minutes, I expect that the professional treating me will return at that time. Instead I was left there and told that was the nature of a "busy day." For $100/hr I expect the acupuncturist to return when they say they will. There was no apology, instead I was told I should have "buzzed" for someone to come. Also, when I booked with someone else for my next treatment, they gossiped to them about me. Not ok. Not to mention gauging women going through IVF with a $330 charge for a day-of transfer treatment (in total about 20 minutes IF that) is egregious. Anyone going through IVF - even if your fertility doctor recommends Acubalance I suggest you go somewhere else. You will spend less money and hopefully be treated far better!

Sasha Bricel: I was thoroughly disappointed with my experience at Acubalance. Dr. Lorne Brown treated me and had terrible bedside manner (pushy and aggressive) and was the classic "mansplainer". My first appointment there he sat me in a chair, pulled up very close to me and after a short discussion said "well let me tell you about the birds and the bees". I had to do a double take as it sounded like he was talking to a 5 year old child. I am a highly educated woman with a solid career and regardless of that it is beyond condescending to speak to a grown woman that way. He then proceeded later in the conversation to tell me that he treats all his patients like his "wife". Which I felt was entirely inappropriate. Later he prescribed me herbs that I had a hard time taking to which his response was "I only work as hard as my patients work" which was very demotivating. Additionally the vitamins they prescribed are extremely over priced as you can get the same contents of the ones they sell for half the price elsewhere. I then decided to leave (unfortunately after already spending a small fortune there) and went to Acummamas which was the best decision I ever made. They treat all women with respect and treat you as a capable individual instead of a child that needs to be told what's what.

Amanee Elchehimi: I absolutely love Acubalance - Bronwyn is amazing and I love the acupuncture/LLL treatments. They're incredibly professional, accommodating, and welcoming! I've also really enjoyed and benefited from my naturopathic visits with Kali as well! I can't recommend them enough!

Trish: Friendly staff! Lorne is great! They are the best in the industry, in opinion.

Lorill Hancock: I love everything about the team at Acubalance. They’re caring, thoughtful, well respected, determined and so hardworking. They truly look out for your best interests as a patient and I’m so very grateful to know and be treated by them.

carivero: I started acupuncture and laser at acubalance with DR. RYAN FUNK who basically was like my coach during my second cycle of IVF. He helped me enormously with ways to manage my stress, diet, and exercise, and thanks to him also I was feeling mentally stronger. I had a successful treatment and today we have our baby girl with us, I truly believe acupuncture, Dr, Ryan's knowledge and his advice helped in my health during my journey.

Shauna Gold: I have seen Lorne Brown and his team for various treatments, on and off, for over 15 years. When I first went for treatment, I was a total skeptic of "alternative" therapies. However, Lorne's treatments completely cured me, and I've been a believer ever since. I would 100% recommend Lorne, Kali and everyone else at the Acubalance Wellness Centre!

Mom Town: I love coming here. Every time the people are kind, attentive, and just super awesome. Dr Funk is amazing and Tanya rocks the cadbah!

Tim Schofield: I had an eye opening experience with acupuncture, treated by Bronwyn Melville. I have never felt so relaxed in all my life. Literally every muscle and tendon in my body was completely relaxed along with an almost dreamy calm. I only wish that I'd experienced this sooner. Thoroughly recommend Bronwyn!

Diane Stewart: I have had the pleasure of working with Kathleen Ho. Acupuncture was a new experience for me. Unlike my doctor who was quick to prescribe pills for my anxiety and stress, we worked on unravelling my story and healing not only my body but my mind and spirit too. Kathleen is an emphatic, skilled and gentle healer. So grateful to have found her!! The results we achieved in a short time were astounding. I highly recommend Ambulance Wellness Center and Kathleen!

Marek Malinski: Amazing and wonderfully helpful wellness clinic. Everyone from Christina Cecconi is an amazing acupuncture practitioner, Kali MacIsaac is awesome as a Naturopathic Doctor who is professional as well as knowledgeable and the best is always the super friendly Tanya who keeps everything running smoothly.

Marluth Negrido: I suffered Frozen shoulder for months and I was getting frustrated since I couldn't do my usual activity anymore. I had physiotherapy treatments and my condition seemed to improve although I still feel pain at the end of my shoulder range of motion. Then, I decided to try Acupuncture treatments and lo and behold, I woke up one day not feeling the pain anymore from my right shoulder!Christina Cecconi is an AMAZING acupuncturist!!! She had treated me with laser treatment. Thanks to her, I'm back now to my usual activity and very happy with my decision to try acupuncture.

deepa porutotage: Recommend for LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy )

Sara Raziee: Very knowledgeable and professional team. Relaxing environment. I have always had a good experience thanks to Ryan, Alda and Tania. Definitely recommend.

Luckie Sigouin: Absolutely love my experience there with Jordan. We treated my achilleas tendons on both feet and it restored their integrity. I was able to improve my run and my swim immediately after. I totally recommend booking a session with him if you're looking to elevate your athletic recovery game.

Jordan: I didn't go in but I went orienteering fire campus and surrounding parts would go again I clocked 8km in 40 minutes pretty fire I love orienteering so much it's so fire

M C: The Triage nurses were a bit rude diagnosing a lots of children saying that they had the flue and to go home. The doctor I had last night was questing me on why I brought him in and minimizing my concerns. That was unprofessional. I would recommend RCH more!

Brittney H: Wonderful hospital

Rodnoel De Chavez: We are truly amazed to all the staff, the service, and great collaboration we experienced in BC Children's Hospital.To Pediatric Dental department, nurses, doctors ,surgeons all the staff thank you so much for proving us the high quality and efficient care services.

Adam Cai: Really friendly, all parents will be so worried their kid in the same time all the stuff are doing professional job. For the parking you have to pay for it, the emergency parking is only 4 hours so have to work out your time.

Roksana Darmofal: Friendly and professional staff. Sometimes you have to wait for hours, but it's worth it. Your kids are in good hands there.

Arigato Hae: Hi speechlessly amazing hospital,Thank you for raising me. I can't say enough thank you's.I decided to further learn business to pay you back in success.Consider 'tweak'ing your mission statement? (I sent a gmail)(It's 4 stars because of the meals.)Thanks, Arigato

anni: I’m so grateful of most of the drs and nurses. My 2 daughters were admitted at this hospital in December , staff were very kind and nice with me and my kids, thanks you so much for all your hard work 🌹

Davis Lim: At first the care and environment was great. After 10 months with my son at Nicu, the environment became toxic. There is a superiority complex a few doctors and nurses have and they have exaggerated and falsified information. They got MCFD INVOLVED AND NOW have taken away my right to see and advocate for my son and I have only seen him one hour this whole week and it is Friday now. I have no way to defend myself of the false accusations and wasted time in court Wednesday. And it will be a long road before I get to be a father to my son again. He is 11 months and 3 days old and has VACTERL and TRAF7. They want to force a treache on him even though he did well off his mask for 30 mins last month. Doctor and nurse was in the room at that time and video was taken.My mother was not permitted to visit my grandson just 2 days ago.Very unjust use of power and control I have experienced this last month. Hope there will be reform

Maria Huezo: *The worst doctor experience at Emergency side*.I took my baby to children’s because he was crying uncontrollably one evening. I thought it was Colic at first but he’s almost 5 months old and I assumed he was way passed that stage. He’s never ever cried like the way he did that day and obviously as a mother you worry for your little one. I took him to the hospital because I assumed that was the right thing to do. While we were waiting for a doctor he had about 2 or 3 more episodes of him crying uncontrollably like he was in pain and/or in discomfort. Doctor comes in, I can’t remember her name but she was an older Caucasian lady with glasses and very short grey hair. She was working on March.4th which was a Saturday in the evening. As she walks in, my boyfriend who is stressed and extremely worried explains to her about his cry and she interrupts him and says “well he is a baby and UNFORTUNATELY babies cry and there’s nothing you can do, have you fed him? Most of the time they just want to be held.. but yea unfortunately they Cry so welcome to parent hood” in the most rudest way possible, almost like she was being sarcastic.. and took the whole situation as a joke.I was very upset on the way she spoke to us, she made us feel like we were bad parents and that being there because of his “cry” was pointless.I’m not sure if she woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was having a bad day or if it had to do anything with our skin colour and/or because we were young but she did not take us seriously.Even though I’m a first time mom, we know OUR babies, we spend every day caring for them loving them and I’m proud to say I’m doing an amazing job. And if something doesn’t feel right you bet I’m taking my little one to the hospital and I expect help and/or solutions not someone to point out the obvious!!!I hope that this doctor is a little more compassionate and easy going with other new parents that need help because no parent wants to feel like a bad parent..!

Tu Le: I am extremely grateful for the exceptional service provided by the wonderful doctors, nurses, and volunteers at BC Children's Hospital. They went above and beyond to help my son remove a corn from his nose, making his stay at the hospital warm and memorable. I must especially mention Dr. Sarah Fetcher from the ER, who took the time to establish a connection with my 3-year-old son, Sora. She spent time greeting, chatting and colouring with him, which helped him build trust and follow her instructions eagerly. Dr. Sarah, you are truly outstanding! Thank you for your kindness, care, and compassion towards my son and our family. We are forever grateful to you and the entire team. Take care!

Hamed Adibi: It was very bad experience, tonight at 10:20 my son and I we entered in the emergency department and they asked us to wait after 80 minutes anybody didn’t come and do anythings. It was really sadly because when were leaving there, anybody didn’t ask us anything. Right know my son doesn’t feel good and try to sleep. If the feel worth we will call 911

Glenda Hawkins: We are incredibly appreciative of BC Children's and the superb care they gave to our daughter. We were given incredibly thorough, considerate, and compassionate attention. After being severely affected by RSV, our daughter required breathing assistance and an IV.The doctors and nurses are working nonstop to provide treatment for our children during this particularly challenging cold and flu season. We are so grateful to have access to such a magnificent and well-run institution. The team worked hard to make our daughter smile, feel heard, and protected during what might have been a very terrible event for her.

Tameka Davis: Both our sons have had experiences at this hospital. It is always a nervous experience whenever you have to bring your child to a hospital but the staff here are the most amazing, hard working, knowledgeable, caring people. The facilities are clean and child friendly with caregivers needs in mind. We feel very fortunate to have a place like this to care for our children.

Eden Chan: Went to the lab in children's hospital today for a blood draw for my 2 year old. It was amazing! It's walk in only and no booking , but when I was there ( Wed morning) it was no wait at all. We got to have the draw immediately. It was my toddler's first time having blood taken from his arm but there were 2 staff, one drawing the blood and one holding him, both were very supportive and super nice to my toddler. At the end there was no crying at all! Not a drop of tear was shed during the blood draw and he even got a little froggy toy.And when we were getting dressed back up and having some juice in the waiting room, the fun cart came by and my toddler got a colouring sheet and crayons too.I drove all the way from Maple ridge to here for the blood work because my doctor recommended ( they are better with kids) and it was totally worth it. It's especially important that no bad memories were created around lab work so he won't be scared in the future ☺️💝Thank you so much for your amazing work !

Zach N: People need to stop leaving negative reviews in the emergency waiting room. The entire healthcare system is struggling, and the difficult truth is that your child with a cough and fever was deemed to be lower priority.The nurses are amazing - extremely compassionate. The doctors are professional and kind. We are lucky to have access to this facility.

Training Video: Extremely bad emergency service.. my kid has been in pain for 2 hours and no one attend to him .. I walked out and see nurse playing on cell phone .. and doctors casually chatting .. I stood in front of a nurse and took her almost a full minute too realise I was standing right in front of her ..

Dialin Angus-Lincoln: Best nurses in the area 🤗

Strawberry Artz: I've always been very impressed with Children's Hospital and have always had the most professional care from conscientious, patient, and responsible doctors and nurses. But today, I was really disappointed when my daughter fell face down on her chin and land on her neck after a one and half front tuck .The coach immediately told me to take my daughter to the children's hospital. Because the position of the fall was very bad. We arrived at Children's Hospital at 6:30 and my sister could walk but felt pain from her upper back to her neck to her head.a littabout her condition and then we sat down and waited. The boys who came in at the same time or even three hours ago and fell without trauma were all assigned to rooms. My daughter was still sitting there, the only child who hadn't moved in the entire three and a half hours of the evening. She had neck pain and upper back pain, so I told the nurse, who gave her a collar. Then the wait continued. I went back to say my daughter had neck pain , Sitting for more than three hours made her more sore. Everyone went in but my daughter was still sitting there. The nurse said this is an emergency room and everyone comes in in a hurry. I totally agree, I have brought my kids or myself to the ER not only once or twice and I understand that the triage nurse will arrange for the patient to be treated according to their condition. But with a neck and back injury, there was room to arrange to lie flat, but nothing at all was done for three hours. This is completely unacceptable. After I told the nurse for the second time that my daughter's neck was hurting even more, she said if you feel pain there is a bed over there you can lie down if you want. That bed was always empty, but must the same thing be said three times before the child can lie flat? My daughter told the nurse the pain gets worse, but nurse just told her that you are fine. Even other nurse asked, she still said my daughter is fine and did nothing.

Charles Zhao: This is the best children's hospital in BC. The parking space is relatively tight and there is a charge for parking. The hospital is very large and extends in all directions. There are hospital volunteers at the door to help patients find where they are going. The doctors, medical staff, and volunteers here are very kind, especially Dr. Annie, who vaccinates the children, is highly skilled, serious and responsible, which is impressive.
