Review from Martin W.
10/4/2011 2 Check-ins Here
I've been here to see the physiotherapists, chiropractors, and sports doctors over the years. I get hurt a lot. They all take care of me here. Hugs all around.
Sometimes the treatments aren't that effective, but that could be the case no matter where you go. The 2 or 3 physiotherapists here that have treated me have been awesome (and cute!). The chiro and sports doc that have treated me have been very knowledgeable and helpful as well.
The receptionists are usually friendly and the waiting area is pretty chill with TVs, water, magazines to keep you occupied while you wait. Overall, a great clinic. -

Can't really write much of a review....I arrived 5 minutes late so they wouldn't see me!
I had booked an appointment a few weeks in advance for niggling foot pain. The earliest appointment was 2 weeks after I emailed but my problem wasn't urgent so that didn't bother me. The pleasant woman I emailed said the appointment would last 15-30mins and was covered by OHIP. Sounded good!
The appointment was a work day. It was "one of those days" and I left work later than expected for the appointment. Got there as quickly as possible (after swirling around wildly in 11 King West and being directed downstairs) and apologised at the desk. The receptionist said she'd ask the doctor if he'd still see me. She came back a moment later and said no. He had appointments every 10mins so I'd have to be rescheduled. Next appointment another 3 weeks away. I didn't bother.
I understand that I was late. That's my fault. I'd hate somebody else to be delayed because of that. I also understand that the healthcare system is overloaded. However, I think 10 minutes for a first appointment is inappropriate. I simply don't think it's enough time to take a full history and perform a detailed examination. Great sports physicians will want to know history, hear about activites and get some idea of your biomechanics as well as just looking at the sore spot. Review appointment? 10 mins is plenty. But new patients deserve longer.
There are physiotherapists etc in the clinic too, so maybe you'd have better luck just heading to them. Or arrive early and know what's wrong with you already.Listed in: Health and fitness (TO)

Review from Joan L.

I suffered from a running mishap a few years ago and had knee surgery to try and fix the problem.
Unfortunately, my joints still creak like an old lady and I am still in mild pain and discomfort. I asked around from my friends who were athletes (marathon runner / rock climber etc) and they recommended this clinic.
I am glad I took their advice as the folks here are very professional. I come for physiotherapy and massage therapy. For both instances, I felt that the session really benefited me. My knee immediately felt better and both of therapists tended to my knee in ways that my previous therapists did not. In particular, the massage was great. It was painful but boy did he ever poke at the sore spot and by the end, my knee felt looser and more mobile.
The prices are also comparable to other locations in the city ... which is a bargain as I think the folks here really know their stuff.
