1	-1	Dr Walji has been my family Dr for years, I must agree with many of the above ratings, I believe he's an old school Dr. just looking to write perscritions and not really get to the root of the problem. You can pretty much self diagnose when you go to him, it's true he doesn't like to get up from his desk and the reason he makes you come back in for refills on perscritions you've been taking for years is because of the &quot;ol mighty buck!&quot; The more you vist the more he gets paid! He pretty much pops out 1 appointment every five to six minutes, sometimes less! He's given me &amp; my family perscriptions without even testing to make sure we are being treated for the correct thing. I only stay cause it's easy, for anything serious I hit the walk in clinics where there are REAL doctors. 	 6/16/11	3	1	1
1	1	Dr. Walji has been our family doctor for 15 years or so.  He has helped my husband and I with EVERY problem that we have had. He is a very patient, considerate man who really cares for his patients. He tells it like it is, and if he is not sure, he always refers us to a specialist. He is a good family man who's not afraid to joke around and makes us laugh. We feel very comfortable around him, and we have recomended him to other people. He is absolutely great and all the deragatory remarks that are made are absolutely sickening in our eyes.  You should appreciate him instead of bad-mouthing him as there is not too many doctors like him around anymore. 	5	5	5	5 
1	1	I love doctor Walji.  He is very good with children and though my daughter still cries everytime, he is very patient with her.  My entire family has been going to him for years and they all love him.  As for the yearly exams, he is not very thourough unless asked.  Otherwise yes, he only does what is required.  I wouldn't go to any other doctor unless a specialist was required. Thanks for all your help of the years Dr. Walji.  We love you!!!! 	5	5	4	4 
1	1	No wait times, smart, to the point, good with kids, works hard, completely knowledgable 	5	5	5	5 
1	1	Dr. Walji easily diagnosed my issues faster than any of the previous doctors I have seen before. While, conversationaly he seems a bit abrupt, you can tell that he geniunely cares for his patient and knows his stuff. I guess he has been practicing for 20+ years, and is still taking new patients, and working long hours 5 days a week, which makes him available and hard working. For those who have given less than positive reviews to this doctor, I really don't see it, he has been nothing but professional and thorough with me. I think doctors have to deal with the whole gambit of problems including addiction and demanding problem patients, in which some tough love is required. And it may be these type of people who have a problem with him, but I will easily be back. 	5	5	5	5 
1	1	I think the people who have given a negative rating to Dr. Walji are probably the biggest prima donnas on the planet.   He has been treating me for well over 20 years, and I find him to be one of the most educated family docs in Calgary.   I commute from the N.W. to just to see him. I think he is one of the few doctors in Calgary who are absolutely committed to   practicing medicine in a country who countinually sees the government hang doctors out to dry. 	4	4	5	5 
1	1	I dont mind Dr. Walji. They are available when I need to get in with short notice on most occasions (within 20 mins), yes he can be a bit lazy but people he is damn near 70 years old! You just have to push him to get more answers and not settle for just what he tells you. I have had no issues with Dr. Walji over the past 2 years and will continue to take my family there until he retires. 	4	4	4	4 
1	-1	I have seen a number of doctors throughout my life in Calgary, and I can say without a shred of a doubt that he is the worst I have ever encountered. In order to provide a little context I would also like to add that I have seen him on numerous occasions.    He is exceptionally rude, and not the least bit helpful; I once went into his office with severe foot pain and was consequently misdiagnosed which resulted in many more months of pain before I was finally able to see a specialist and acquire a proper diagnoses.    I would happily continue with a list of his many inadequacies if I weren't limited to 1000 characters.    It represents a failure in the medical community that this man is allowed to hold the title of &quot;doctor&quot; 	3	4	1	1 
1	-1	He was very late n was not helpfull at all. Barb his nurse called him many times but he ignored all her calls. It took me over an hour to see him. Not going back to his office ever again. 	2	1	1	1 
1	1	Dr. Walji is very kind and gentle with children...they relate well to him, which is an incredibly important characteristic in a family doctor; I appreciate his honesty and upfront approach to medical diagnosis, procedure and family care. 	5	5	5	5 
1	-1	Dr. Walji is definetly a doctor I would NOT recommend to anyone.  As the ratings state, he is lazy and seems preoccupied.  Not concerned with getting to the source of the problem. Only wants to write prescriptions.  I went into his office one time to get certain tests done for my thyroid that I had requested after intense research, and Walji said to me &quot;this is not a pizza parlor where you can order anything on the menu&quot;.  I was appalled to be spoken to in that manner.  These doctors work for us, we do not work for them.  Disgusting!!  Looking for a new physician. 	3	3	1	2 
1	-1	this doctor is the worst doctor i have ever seen in my life i went to him for a major problem and he didnt even look at me gave me a prescription for something totally different and i went to another doctor a month later and the new doctor said she was suprised i wasent in the hospital on my death bed. I will never see him agian, nor will i recomend him to anyone. He should get his licence taken away 	1	2	1	1 
1	-1	I found this doctor uncaring. He doesn't like getting up from his desk and when you first enter the room he is still writing in someone else's file and he holds up his finger without looking at you and tells you to wait. he's not very friendly . 	2	2	1	2 
1	1	I was in the office when the idiot from the car accident was in.  He was rude and obnoxious to all who was around him.  He was about to get thrown out of the office by his ears from a couple of other patients that were sitting there at the time.  I really object to sites like this where there is no way to validate outrageous claims like the one posted back in June.  Shame on you!!!  Also, no doctor should EVER give out prescriptions over the phone.  Keep up the great work Doctor!! 	5	4	5	5 
1	1	I'm looking at some of the negative reviews and wondering if they're talking about the same doctor. Dr. Walji has been my family doctor for well over twenty years and has never done us wrong -- he's earned our trust and respect and I'd be happy recommending him to anyone. 	4	5	5	5 
1	-1	This doctor is the worst doctor I have ever seen, EVER.  After suffering an injury in a car accident, he was taking patients, so I went to him.  At no time did he ever leave his chair behind his desk to examine me.  He never touched me, checked me out in any way, or made me feel that he knew anything about what I was going through or that there was even an injury.  He wrote me a prescription, and that became the end of his idea of care.  My wife had an even worse experience with him, which I will not go into.  Do not go to this doctor, he is counting his days to retirement, and is trying to get in as many patients before then as he can.  He should have his license pulled and should be forcably retired for neglect and malpractice. 	1	1	1	1 
1	1	Dr.Walji is an excellent family doctor.  He is one of the old-school doctors that works all of the time for his patients (not for the money!).  He makes house calls for long time patients that are too sick / elderly to come to his office.  He gets to the point and doesn't mess around.  I have absolute faith in him, and have recommended many friends to see him. 	4	5	5	5 
1	-1	Does not refill prescriptions by phone. Second floor office difficult to access for elderly or those w/mobility issues. Seems very rushed to get patients in and out. Complete lack of respect for recommendations and suggestions from other doctors/specialists. Very dismissive and unconcerned. Probably counting down days to retirement. Unfamiliar with emerging treatment options in some cases. 	3	3	2	2 
1	-1	Won't refill prescriptions over the phone (even though I've been stable on the meds for 10+ years). Then when I made a mistake on dosage when requesting a refill (200 mg of one med and 100 mg of the other, when it was supposed to be the other way around), he simply wrote out a scrip.  Pharmacy didn't catch it either.  I complained and he told me he assumes the patient knows what they're taking.  (If he's going to go on what I say is right, why do I have to take the time to come in&#63;  Honestly I think it would be safer if I called in for a refill, someone checks my chart, and prescribes the right dosage!)  I switched doctors after that. 	3	3	2	2 
1	1	He has been my family doctor for 21 years,he has helped me with EVERY problem that I have had. He is a very patient, considerate man who even passes me tissues when I cry. He tells me like it is, which is hard to find in a doctor at times. He is a good family man who's not afriad to joke around and make me laugh. I feel very comfortable around him, and I would recomend him to anyone. He is great. 	5	5	5	4 
1	1	Dr. Walji has been mine and my families doctor for over 30 years.  I love the man like an uncle but I'm not sure that he keeps up his practice it seems like every-time i go to see him i come home with antibiotics. He can come off as harsh sometimes but i think he is just opinionated and means well.  He is a good man but an old fashioned doctor. I now only see him if i need a rx otherwise my husband and son have a different doctor and i just try to avoid getting sick. 	4	4	4	3 
1	1	I find Dr. Walji very helpfull and courteous. He has been my family doctor for many years. Very short wait times for walk-in and appointments. 	5	5	5	5 
1	-1	not only absulutely useless, but EXTREMELY rude! he told me that he would not listen to me. he is an arrogant, condescending ignorant man who claims he is a physician. i presented him with reports from the mayo clinic, and went ahead and wrote out another requisition for blood work that i just had at the mayo. i cannot find a doctor in this damn town, so will have to go back to the states and shell out more money 	2	2	1	1 
1	1	Dr. Walji is friendly and accessible and has been immense help to me, my wife, and our two boys. 	5	4	5	4 
1	-1	Always Busy doesnot pay attention only good at writting notes. 	3	2	1	2 
1	0	Can be abrupt - possibly hard of hearing makes me repeat everything - not pleasant when discussing problems. 		5	2	3 
1	1	No long waiting times to get an appointment. Listens well and takes new patients easily. Prescription fill and refills are usually no problem if they are necessary. Not very thorough with female yearly exams as there was no breast examination during mine however there are specialists for this. He is easy to talk to and has a good bedside manner. His daughter (also a doctor) has recently joined his practice on a part time schedule and specializes in Women's health. It's convenient to have these professionals in the same office where files and information is easily accessible to one another if necessary. 		4	5	4 
2	-1	I would tell anyone whose considering going to Dr.Waslen to be very wary. I had a botched breast job done by him last year. Since then I've had his mistakes corrected by another, more skilled surgeon. Ironically, Dr.Waslen is the most expensive surgeon in Calgary. Also, Dr.Waslen doesn't guarantee his work. As I was paying for my for breast job, his staff handed me a disclaimer to sign. Basically, it stated that if you are unsatisfied with the results, too bad, you'll have to pay for a new surgery. This isn't the norm! My present doctor completely guaranteed his work and would do any fixing if needed later, for free!  Post surgery, Dr. Waslen agreed that I would need to have another surgery. His comment was, &quot;with all the problems you had, you didn't expect me to hit a home run the first time, did u&#63;!&quot; Actually, I did, and pre-surgery Dr.Waslen said it would &quot;no problem.&quot; Dr.Waslen is qualified but greedy. I think redo's are the norm and another way for him to line his deep pockets. 	 4/12/12	4	4	1
2	0	I am 36yrs old had 2 babies and  had lost 100lbs, on Feb 16,2010 I had a total bodylift done to be comfortable in my clothes.  I paid way to much money for resulting complications.  Everything was good until Nov of 2010 and started having trouble with my left side. Went for a consult in April of 2011 and had another surgery the following July. It has been 2yrs since the first surgery and 9 months since the last surgery and I am worse off now than when I went in the first time and I am uncomfortable and in pain everyday!!! I shouldn't be and now he is trying to chalk it up to medical problems with my period...Really!!! I know my body better than that! Now he is brushing me off. Not only am I not comfortable in my clothes but not Even in MY OWN SKIN!!!  I had a great experiance with his staff but now that I think he knows he screwed up he is giving me the cold shoulder!! Think Twice before you book any kind of cosmetic Surgery!! 	 4/10/12	5	2	2
2	-1	Dr. Waslen was not warm and fuzzy, I just wanted a skilled doctor to do my breast augment and thought he was one. He made the space for the left implant and inch and a half from the midline and too far into the armpit area. The space for the right implant was made AT the midline and ended right before the armpit. So, the pocket for the right side was too small for the implant and my pectoral muscle tore open about 2 inches with the implant bulging through! I went back to see him post-op about 4 times trying to convince him there was a problem. It was visually OBVIOUS but he said it was fine! So, I went to a different doctor who said there definitely was a problem and agreed to correct it. He made the pockets symmetrical and stitched the tear which didn't &quot;take&quot; (I was told it may not) but bulging was no longer a problem. Also, one of my implants ruptured last month for no reason but I REFUSE to see Dr. Waslen to replace or remove my implants. I am now consulting with other doctors. 	 1/18/12	4	3	1
2	1	I have been to see Dr Waslen twice and both times as absolutely amazed at the service I received and the quality of work.  I had my first augmentation in July 2000 and due to my own choice went back in April 2001 one to increase the size of my breasts.  Dr Waslen advised to go larger in the begining but I at 23yrs old didn't listen.  He was compassionate, torough and very easy to ask questions to and discuss any concerns I had.  I read these reviews stating that he has poor bed side manner and it angers me! He was amazing! when I called his office at 10pm he had his phone forwarded to his home!  When I was worried about waking up during the second surgery he reassured me and made me feel safe and confortable!  There was another lady in the clinic getting a Rhinoplasty done who was so confident in him that she didn't even want to be put out just frozen!  Now that is someone who you can tell has the TRUST of his patients!  I am happy to say after 11years and no problems I am going back! 	 4/20/11	5	5	5
2	1	Dr. Waslen is an amazing surgeon! I flew up from Mexico to have my breast augmentation done 12 years ago. I had consulted doctors in Mexico and the United States before deciding to go to Dr. Waslen. At the time they were doing the surgeries out of a hospital off of 14th I believe and the nurses and staff were extreemly accomidating. They even went as far as saying &quot;we need to keep this one warm because she's coming from Mexico&quot;. I was in recovery and shivering uncontrolably from the anesthesia and that's what I heard the nurse say and that stuck with me! Two of my family members have gone to Dr. Waslen since then to have eye lid lifts and most recently a breast augmentation. He did a fantastic job! The scars you can barely see, you would have to look extreemly close in order to see them. I am going back to Dr. Waslen for a second breast augmentation to have my implants changed from saline to the jellies. I would highly recommend Dr. Waslen to anybody and I have! 	 2/27/11	5	5	5
2	1	Thank-You very much to Dr.Waslen &amp; All Staff! I had a great consultation with Dr.Waslen! Shortly after an appoinment opened &amp; I booked my BA surgery. I am very pleased with the very natural results, they are perfect! The staff were extremely friendly &amp; attentive. They answered ALL my questions in a friendly manner. I was comfortable &amp; treated very well in pre &amp; post op care. Dr.Waslen is great! He is really good at what he does! I would definately recommend him to anyone. He even personally took the time to call me at home days after the surgery to answer any questions &amp; concerns of mine. The staff are excellent &amp; took the time to call days &amp; weeks after the surgery to address any questions or concerns I may have had. Over all it was a great experience! I'm extremely happy with the very natural results! Thank-You again Dr.Waslen &amp; Staff. I look forward to seeing you all again! 	 2/23/11	5	5	5
2	0	i paid 100 for a consultation on a tummy tuck. he wanted to do an extended tummy tuck, cutting onto my back. i was quoted 19,000 for this. i did not want more then a regular tummy tuck, when i asked for that price his staff quoted 16,000; but said that he had not approved me for just a regular tuck. they do the surgery onsite, and you go home an hour after surgery without drain tubes. i decided to go with dr rodrigo neira in red deer, ab. he was caring and charged half of what i was quoted from dr waslen. i spent 1 night in the hospital, and am grateful i did as i couldnt imagine going home right after this surgery. 	 12/5/10	2	3	2
2	1	My daughter had a breast augumentation around 6 years ago, upon her post-op return whereby my daughter was very pleased with the results, Dr Waslen was not,  he did  a second surgery adjustment without cost. To this day she has no complaints. 	4	4	5	5 
2	-1	Had a liposuction day procedure done on a small area. The suction machine completely failed part way through the procedure which he mumbled about inventing better ones he'd make millions&#63;&#63;&#63; Anyway, he proceeded manually now i have extremely uneven pockets in that area. Was very pissed off but how can you tell until well after the bandages come off. He sucks bad! 	 6/10/10	1	1	1
2	1	I had breast implant replacement and scar revision surgery three weeks ago with Dr. Waslen. I was initially delighted with the new, high breasts under the bandages. After the bandages came off last week I was very concerned about &quot;pleating&quot; on the side of one breast and one nipple looked &quot;twisted&quot;. I spent the entire weekend crying and depressed. I called the office on Monday and was able to see Dr. Waslen right away.  He said when the stitches under the arms dissolved in 6 weeks the pleating would disappear and the same for the nipple. Dr. Waslen may not be the warmest and fuzziest person when you meet him, but he is direct and professional, qualities that I respect as a patient. I am planning on having a mini-facelift next year. I have to say reading some of these comments, especially the woman who said her old implants were &quot;scraped out&quot; under local anaesthetic - that would NEVER be done ... I would definitely question the writer's motives. 	 2/24/10	5	4	4
2	1	I agree that Dr. W has questionable bed side manner. He is not much for the pleasantries and I know this is very important to most women who are planning to have invasive surgery. I chose to have my surgery with him because of great referrals from 3 of his patients I knew. I have to say I'm very happy with the results of my BA. His staff is great for the most part, especially the nurse who worked with me before and after my BA (she was not a full-time employee. Overall I would recommend his breast augmentation skills but if you need a warm fuzzy doctor then I would not suggest Dr. W. 	 1/29/10	4	3	3
2	-1	I had my consultation with Dr. Waslen today and it was an experience that I would have never expected. His secretary was incredibly nice and approachable... but once I go into the office, my immediate first impression of Waslen was that he was rude, arrogant and snobby. Didn't even introduce himself or make an effort to shake my hand and started the convo with &quot;Well, what do you want&#63;&quot; I appreciated his honesty about the surgery, but I paid $105 to sit down and have a thorough discussion regarding my procedure and he just blew me off and seemed rushed to get our meeting over with. After FIVE minutes, he stood up and said &quot;See ya&quot; and walked out of the room and onto his next client. His reason was that he wasn't experienced enough to follow through with my chest surgery referred Dr. Perron to me instead. The moment I stepped out of the facility, I called Perron for a consultation. Waslen was terrible and completely unapproachable. 	 12/18/09	5	3	1
2	-1	I had a facelift 10 years ago by Dr. Waslen.  It was a huge mistake, mostly my own for being vain. I didn't need one but he said I should get one now so no one would know I'd had one &#63;&#63;!! He rushed me in and I regret it totally. My face now has a bald look to it because he moved my hair back so far (although he said he wouldn't change my hairline).  I have a lump in one cheek (scar tissue). I have small triangles of missing hair behind my ears.  He also did a lower blepharoplasty (he recommended and said no extra charge) and now one eye doesn't close all the way when I sleep.  After the surgery I went into a severe depression, wanted to die.  While I feel he erred, I feel most of responsibility is mine.  Unless you have severe problems, don't have plastic surgery!  It's always a risk even with the best doctor. We worry too much about our appearance, almost all of us are perfectly fine the way we were born. 	 5/1/09	3	3	1
2	1	I am writing you this letter to let you know how absolutely thrilled I am with the results of the breast augmentation surgery Dr. Waslen performed for me in November 2008. It’s been nearly three months since my surgery and I love my new breasts. They are absolutely perfect. Mine was a difficult case (tuberous breasts) and Dr. Waslen told me to trust him and that I would be happy ... and I am. The results have more than exceeded my expectations! 	 2/18/09	4	5	5
2	0	I went for a consult with Dr. Waslen and I found him to be completely rude.  I am not sure if he is trying to lower my self esteem so much that I am happy to spend a ton of $$$ on plastic surgery or what the motive was.  While I appreciate honesty I think he could have had a little more tact and compassion in his approach. 	3	3	1	4 
2	1	I recently had breast augmentation with Dr. Waslen. From start to finish my experience was amazing. Initial consultation took place with his nurse. This was complimentary and took about 30-40 minutes. She was very thorough and answered all my questions. I later met with Dr. Waslen. There was a fee for this consultation but I was told this on the phone. He was extremely professional during our visit. I then met with the office manager and was given a quote and possible surgical dates. They offer a little tour of the facility which made me feel even more comfortable. My surgery went very well. I am extremely pleased with the results. I have phoned the office a couple of times with questions and have always got courteous professional advice. All in all - VERY PLEASED!! 	5	5	5	5 
2	1	I had a breast augmentation done with Dr. Waslen and I am completely happy with it! He is very professional and his staff is extremely friendly.  Reading some of these posted comments makes me feel like we had gone to completely different clinics. I was very nervous going to the clinic for my surgery but when I arrived the staff and Dr. Waslen made me feel completely at ease! Amazing doctor! 	5	5	5	5 
2	0	i rated staff a 3 because they seem understaffed and always too busy which goes along with the punctuality every time i call im on hold and every time i got im waiting quit a long time before i go in for either the consult or surgery.sometimes a hold up in surgery cant be avoided though. ive had 2 breast augmentations done and from that ive sent about a dozen or so friends to him. he is the most expensive doctor ive heard of so far but they say he is the best. if i couldve gone back before my first surgery i wouldve went to see at least 3 different surgeons for consults first. also during my second surgery i woke up early because they only used a local anesthetic and they were scraping out my old implant and i was in major pain and felt everything and was saying &quot;ow ow ow&quot; and tears rolling down my face but i could not move it was like a bad dream. i heard one of the nurses ask if they should give me more anesthetic and he said no..not sure why he wouldnt of because it was mid surgery 	3	1	2	3 
2	1	Dr Waslen did an amazing job on my breat sugmentation!! I got exactly what i wanted except now i want bigger, every girls' mistake :) lol 	5	5	5	5 
2	-1	I originally set up a consultation to see Dr. Waslen, when I arrived they said it would cost me a $100, which was something they hadn’t discussed with me prior.  Dr. Waslen was knowledgeable with my surgery (lift and augmentation) however he repeatedly said how hard it was going to be, almost as if he didn’t want to do it.  He was very arrogant and was not personable at all.  His staff originally gave me a price, and then weeks later at another consultation increased the price by almost $5000.  They couldn’t give me any breakdown as to where the money was going, and I felt very pressured to make a decision.  I obviously did not go to him and I have had many friends also not go to him for the same reasons.  I have sins had a lift and augmentation with another doctor and am extremely pleased with the results. 	1	3	2	2 
2	1	I would highly recommend Dr. Waslen.  5 weeks after my tummy tuck I am thrilled with the results. 	5	5	5	5 
2	1	I was attacked by a dog and Dr. Waslen repaired the piece of my nose that was missing to the point where it is about a 95% match with the other side.  I thought he was a fantastic doctor, didn't mess around, got right to the point! He made my nose better then I ever thoguht it would be after such an attack. (very important for a woman in her early 20's)!  I would highly recommend Dr. Walsen for any reconstructive surgery from a traumatic experience. 	5	4	5	5 
2	1	Dr. Waslen performed surgery on me about 2 years ago and I am very satisfied. I found Dr. Waslen to be very caring. 	4	5	3	4 
2	-1	this **** caused severe nerve damage to right breast that i am STILL suffering from. it has been approximately 11 years since the breast augmentation, and have had surgery to remove the implants, and then a year later another augmentation. after his surgury, i was in the most pain i have ever experienced,which could not be alleviated with mega doses of morphin. i could not lay down to sleep for months, could not wear any clothing that touched my skin, etc. if i had my witts about me then, i would have sued. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ****! 	1	2	1	1 
2	1	I went to Dr. Waslen for Breast Augmentation and I definately came out very pleased with what he had done. I came in with tons of pictures because I wanted to make sure I got EXACTLY what I was asking for and I did. The only thing I can say about this doctor is that he does make you feel a tad uncomfortable while having consultations because he seems somewhat grouchy and is very opinionated. but with that said I didnt go to him to have an overly happy doctor I went for the work he does. And as for the girls that have commented on him making them feel &quot;ugly&quot; he's not there to make you feel absolutley gorgeous he is a REALISTIC doctor. 	5	5	5	5 
2	1	I had a good experience with Dr. Waslen. I went to him for a Rhinoplasty and I am very happy with my results. It looks very natural and I haven’t had any complication. When I first met him, I found him to be to the point and serious but professional. If you want to know things have questions ready and he is very good at answering them. His staff are very helpful and nice. My whole experience was very good. I’m happy I did it and that I went to Dr. Waslen. 	5	5	4	5 
2	-1	A &quot;yes&quot; man - will agree to anything & everything then puts his potential Customer down by statements disparaging the age number, criticizing other medical personnel, and hands the Customer off to his staff with very little info except the standard americanized brochure! Does not deal with &quot;damaged goods&quot;. This one will treat anyone that he considers &quot;beautiful&quot; or that will represent his work accordingly. Just another male making a fortune off the very real cosmetic and plastic surgery needs of females. 	1	2	1	2 
2	1	I love Dr. Waslen, he's one of the best Plastic Surgeon in Alberta.  He's done numerous works on my face and body and the results are excellent.  I can't complain. However, upon reading some of the lack lustre comments above I must say that Doctor Waslen is only a Plastic Surgeon, he is not a wizard that wave a wand on you and make you look better than what you are before, he can only do what he is given.  If you go in with an expectation that you come out looking like one of those movie stars - I am sorry to say, you will be disappointed but if you're going into Dr. Waslen for an &quot;enhancement&quot; or to improve yourself a little without having that movie star expectation than you will be happy with the results.  Just remember one cannot change an ugly duckingly into a swan; that ugly duckling must have some potential within in order for an surgeon to be abled to enhance its look. 	5	5	5	5 
2	-1	I had a consultation and decided not to go with this doctor because I felt uncomfortable and quantified. I got brought to a room and read a pamphlet while I waited, he then came in and I told him what I wanted and he told me how he would do it and when I said okay, I got given to the photoimaging girl. When he dropped me off in the room, he told her what I wanted and then told her to add &quot;a little lipo under the chin&quot; as well &quot;just to see what it would look like&quot;. It was just not a good environment for me. I also got the price quote and went home thinking I was ugly (I never felt ugly before, just like I needed improvement). I got some recommendations and went elsewhere and saved $4000 for a wonderful surgery that was exactly what I wanted. I accept this could be a product of our personalities not meshing well but everyone should consider going for more than one consultation to find the best doctor for you. That best doctor could be Dr. Waslen, but it wasn't for me. 	3	4	1	3 
2	-1	If you are considering DELICATE facial work, think twice before entrusting it to Dr. W! This &quot;surgeon&quot; is hammmer-handed and lacks a sculptor's hand to qualify him as a &quot;cosmetic&quot; surgeon; he is what I would term &quot;a mechanic&quot; in an area that calls for an artist. To the unclued statement of one reviewer -- quote, &quot;...You're most likely people who have low self esteem and will never be satisfied and happy ...,&quot; I will say this: I am a vibrant, positive, successful woman who never suffered from low self-esteem in her life! I did, however, suffer crow's feet at 40, when, without profound research, I trusted Dr. Waslen with my blepharoplasty. The results&#63; Scarring; rearranged tear-troughs; bumps, grooves, and a skeletonization effect on the lower lids. Correction produced worse results, so at huge expense I had to fly to a US surgeon to wipe Dr. W's footprint from my face. Today, I still have some residual lumping and grooving, to be addressed with fillers for the REST OF MY LIFE! 	3	2	1	1 
2	-1	I had to have ALL surgery corrected, & redone elsewhere. dont get a bleph. he does not remove bags (fat), AND in far too conservative in face-lift-completely redone elsewhere also. 	1	1	1	1 
2	1	Dr. Waslen is an extremely gifted surgeon. I've had numerous procedures performed by him and the end result was exactly (if not better) than he predicted. In response to the poor ratings from who ever had the face lift and the apparent &quot;botched&quot; liposuction, remember that no surgeon is a magician and can only work with what your body has to offer. You're most likely people who have low self esteem and will never be satisfied and happy no matter what you do. plastic surgery is STILL SURGERY so the scars and slight imperfections are inevitable. 	5	5	5	5 
2	1	I needed to have my implants replaced as I have had them for close to 20 years. Although I had no problems with the silicone implants I wanted them changed and increased in size. I really needed to find a doctor who I could trust that had experience and knowledge of replacement surgery. I decided on Doctor Waslen in Calgary even though I was familiar with doctor's in Edmonton and Vancouver.I made the right choice due to research and Doctor Waslen's qualifications. I had the replacement operation and I wish now I had gone to him for the first one. I can only say I look amazing and that is the first time I have ever looked or felt this way. I got the size(D) and the shape I wanted which was really important to me. Doctor Waslen is an amazing & gifted doctor and any further cosmetic surgey I may want in the future will only be performed by him. 	5	5	5	5 
2	0	I originally went to him just for lipo in the neck area, but was talked into a facelift. I have horrible scarring under my chin and around my ears, a very unsatisfactory bleph which he revised two more times (still looks horrible) and two very different looking sides of my face. One side of my face looks ok aside from the over zealous removal of fat around my jaw. (I can feel the bone) My jaw looks fine on the other side of my face, but I don't have any fat in my cheek area, under the eye and extending to my ear. My ear on this side sticks out and is much lower than the other side of my face. I generally look worse than I did before. I have done an incredible amount of research (which I initially hadn't done) and I would give anything to undo what I have had done. He wasn't very thorough when I went for a consult, which should have been my first warning sign. He was evasive about several other procedures he had said he was going to perform as well, and hadn't. BE WARY - DO RESEARCH! 	3	2	2	3 
2	1	I had Rhynoplasty performed by Dr. Waslen & I love my new nose. I had a slight bump & Dr. Waslen made it look very natural & beautiful. I think he is a gifted surgeon. 		5	5	5 
2	1	Dr. Waslen did some work to repair a botched liposuction job on my arms. He made my arms look pretty normal again after another doctor really messed up. His work, patient care, overall concern for people, his staff and facility are all excellent. 		5	5	5 
2	-1	Too much lipo left permanent bruises, dimples that can't be fixed. Re-did his medial thigh so that labia and pubic hair are 2-3 inches outside panty elastic. this could be considered indecent exposure. I live in constant physical pain for the rest of life. He said I had 'unrealistic expectations' and that this was a 'satisfactory result'. Find someone who doesn't blame the patient 		2	1	1 
2	1	Dr. Waslen performed liposuction and rhinoplasty for me. He also performed a face lift and brow lift for my Mom. He is a gifted surgeon. I am very pleased with my results and my mother looks better than she ever did! Her result was very natural - amazing. Her facelift is approx. 10 years old now and she still looks fantastic. I would highly recommend him. He also has a beautiful facility. Well done, Dr. Waslen! 		4	4	5 
3	1	fantastic! coming from a 30 year patient...He has always given me the best care. 	5	5	5	5 
3	1	i started going to dennis when i married my husband. his family have gone here for years and he is the best. He is persoanble, kind and loves to joke. his secretaries are great and he is worth every penny. which ideally is not very much 	5	5	5	5 
3	1	I have been attending Dr. Wagner's practice for over 10 years. He is has without fail had me up and moving and back to normal pain free daily activities immediately. I have referred many friends and family to him with exactly the same results for them. 	5	5	5	5 
3	1	Dr Wagner is one of the best chiros that we have been treated by. It is his personal quest to get you better - up and mobile as soon as possible. He does not believe in having you come back numerous times if there is no need and he keeps up with the latest methods in his practice. Great guy with great office assistants. 		5	5	5 
3	1	Very personable. Always willing to do what is for the best interest of his patients. Amazing practice - highly reccommended! 		5	5	5 
4	-1	Saw her for my second pregnancy. So glad I was smart enough to change doctors half way through!  All she did was agrue with me.  I had been pregnant before and I am an RN, I know she is the doctor, but I think I know a bit about what is going on.  The worst part is that she tries to push her views and ideals on you as her patient.  And she always looked mad that I brought my 2 year old with my to my appointments.  All he did was sit in his stroller and eat cheerios. 	2	4	2	2 
4	1	dr.watke is an awesome doctor. she delivered my son and daughter and is delivering my 3rd. She was great when i was contracting for 2 weeks with my daughter and then set an induction date because she new i had a toddler at home and wasn't getting any sleep. I would recommend her to anyone. i've had some friends go through her and they also had no problems with her 	5	5	5	5 
4	-1	doctors arent supposed to bring their persoonal beliefs to the table, but dr watke had no problem telling me several times how she only believes in abstenince. was she tryoing to make me feel guilty about being pregnant and not mrried. 	1	1	1	1 
4	-1	Not v. helpful or thorough - little follow up which meant I had some serious complications and felt like I was being dismissed when I asked for treatment (similar to some of the other comments I see here). 	4	4	1	2 
4	0	DrWatke is NOT an OB/GYN and I was very disappointed that that is what she is assumed to be--especially since she's who my doctor wanted to refer me to when I was pregnant.  She is a GP and has no specialized obstetrical training--other than doing deliveries.  If you want a REAL OB/GYN, see one of the others in Lethbridge.  I saw Davey and was thrilled with the level of care and expertise. 	4	3	3	2 
4	1	She delived my son and will be delivering my second and she was great.. i loved her and would recommend her to anyone 	5	5	5	5 
4	1	She was absolutely wonderful, let us choose what we wanted and wasn't pushy at all. She gave us the best birthing expierence ever and I HIGHLY recomend her!! Insurance:Blue Cross / Blue Shield	5	5	5	5 
4	-1	I will never reccommend this dr. to anyone. she prescribed me medication, telling me that there were no side effects, only later to find out that i am at serious risk for seizures. I was severly sick for years, and she told me I was a hypochondriac, only later to find out by another doctor, that I had severe anemia, hypo thyroidism, celiac disease, and malnutrition. Thanks so much Watke!! 	1	1	1	1 
4	1	she just delivers my son and she was a great doctor at that 	5	5	5	5 
4	1	Dr Watke is the best doctor that I've ever had. She's calm, patient and very well informed. God bless her. 	5	5	5	5 
4	0	My son went to see her before she changed her practice and she was very rude and arrogant and she was our family doctor for years, I have changed doctors and finally getting the medical attention that I should have had a few years ago 		3	3	3 
4	1	I too, am sad this Dr. will only be doing Ob. I started seeing her when I was pregnant with my first daughter and she has scince delivered a second. She went the extra mile when my daughter was having febrile seasures. I will miss her, but any expecting mom in the future will be very lucky to have her!! 		5	5	5 
4	1	Dr. Watke delivered my baby and she was very punctual, and professional. She is very knowledgeable when you need to know some medical advice. I only wished she wasn't so busy because she is very hard to get into 		5	5	5 
4	1	Dr. Watke has been my family physician for many years and did prenatal/delivery for both my children. She is hard to get in to see (having a busy practice), so you need to have your ducks in a row and ask the right questions in order to get her excellent responses and advice. She is not a mind reader--you need to actively participate in your medical care. I've found her very professional and to the point--she cannot be ruffled mo matter what you say and this makes it easy to talk to her about anything. I appreciate her demeanor / no-nonsense manner and the sense that your status as a patient is completely confidential (i.e. does not assume familiarity with you outside the office.) I recommended her to my family members while she was still accepting new patients and understand they are happy with her as well. 		4	5	5 
4	1	She is a wonderful doctor.. She has delivered both of my boys and she has be wonderful. She took me on as a favor when i moved and was 8 months pregnant with my first son. She bends over backwards for her patients. I am going to miss her as i am moving to Sask 		5	5	5 
4	0	this Doctor lacks personality which makes it hard to open up to her. I have to see her on my job as well and she pretends not to know who I am(I find this arrogant). I found the care I have received from her to be lazy and substandard..it might help if I really thought she cared..instead I think she's just there for the paycheck. 		3	2	3 
4	1	I've been seeing Dr. Watke for many years and I have had nothing but positive experiences. Very professional at all times. 		4	4	4 
4	-1	I was in an accident october 2002 i went to see dr watke and was told i would have no problems to lose some weigh(weighing only 135 pounds at 5'5) to help my situation! It is now February 2007 and i get horrible pain in my neck and lower back! Thanks for the help! 		2	1	3 
4	1	A very prompt and considerate dr. Very professional. Willing to answer questions. I received excellent care during/after both pregnancies. 		5	5	5 
4	1	Dr.Watke is always kind and offers whatever medical help is available/necessary. Even if she has been up all night delivering a baby, she gives her patients 100% attention, without bad attitude. 		4	5	5 
5	1	I had a few symptoms for a few months. Doctors told me I have anxieties. I decided further to investigate this diagnosis. Luckily, I was referred to Dr. Wachtler. She noticed that my blood pressure was very low. For the chest pains I was having she recommended acupressure and acupuncture. After TWO sessions all my symptoms were gone. Dr. Wachtler is a very good listener and she helped me get back to my daily activities. I highly recommend her to everybody. 	4	5	5	5 
5	1	found Dr. Wachtler very informative and knowledgeable-went over my problems in detail with specific recommendations for my well being-would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a naturepath---I found information relative to my health that was not pursued by my Medical Doctor---do not hesitate to recommend Dr. Wachtler.... 	 2/26/11	5	5	5
5	1	Dr. Marnie is cheerful and positive.  She has a &quot;common sense&quot; approach and does not prescribe too many supplements.  She listens to what you have to say and explain what is going on in laymans terms.  I would recommend her to anyone looking for a naturopath. 	 2/24/11	5	5	5
5	1	Marnie was a tremendous help to me when I was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. Not only did  she provided me with moral support, but also helped me to prepare for surgery and recovery. My outcomes were incredibly positive and I know the work we did together to balance my diet and support my system made all the difference in my outcomes. Marnie continue to support not only my well-being, but also many members of my immediate and extended family. Her approach to whole foods and nutrition is fantastic. I highly recommend Marnie for anyone who is looking to supplement their regular medial care. 	5	5	5	5 
5	1	My son sees Dr. Marnie for his ADHD. Other doctors only wanted to treat my son wth ritalin type drugs. Through testing she has found out he has multiple food intolerances, yeast overgrowth and several vitamin deficiencies (that did not show up on regular blood testings).All of which cause the symptoms of ADHD. All of these findings are being treated naturally. She is very helpful and knowlegable. I would recommmend her 100% to anyone struggling with ADHD. 	5	5	5	5 
6	-1	I moved to Edmonton April 2010, found Nancys office close to where I live. So I thought convenient... Well I was wrong. All the reviews before me exactly describe how my experience is right now. Her reception just handed me the termination papers with out saying why. &quot;just wait an talk to the dr,&quot; she said. If ur gonna hand something like that out you better be ready for questions.   So Nancy is selling her practice which I found out from this link. I have been called and had to rebook my appointments for the last three times to accommodate other patients. I had an appointment to get them off for next week now Im waiting for them to call me with the new dates. I'm pissed. Im supposed to pay my monthly payment and the fee for the retainers when I go in to get them off. You can bet your ass I'm getting these off and shes gonna do it for nothing cause as far as I'm concerned I ain't got a contract no more. It's terminated.    Always check reviews people! 	1	1	1	2 
6	-1	Very unhappy with the service. Original assessment is 24 months, but I've been wearing braces for 26 months with a projection of another 12 months. Always have to wait. Just found out that she has sold her practice. I have made all my payments for the treatment. Now with 12 months more, she will only reimburse me for partial payment and I still have to pay the new orthodontics. Anyone knows if I can refuse to pay as I've already fully paid for my treatment&#63; 	3	1	1	3 
6	-1	The worst orthodontist I have ever been to. The wait is ridiculous, receptionist is horrible. I had an appointment for a certain day and time, and the receptionist called me a few days later to change my appointment to accommodate another client, I said no, i couldn't that was the only day that works for me... And the receptionist said I was rude for not accommodating another client... Ummm excuse me... That is not my problem that they can't accommodate their own clients. I had my braces for two years after I got them off...after 6 weeks and after my teeth shifted she finally but on my permanent retainer on... Well too f***en late my teeth already shifted. Very very unhappy with the results. I now have an appointment with Dr. Terry Carlyle at Strathcona Orthodontics... I have a few friends that are seeing him now and it is 100% better than Dr. Nancy Weaver.  To be honest with you I regret 100% on getting a referral to see Dr. Nancy weaver. Horrible service... Long waits I mean hours at a time. I DO NOT recommend Dr. Nancy Weaver. 	1	1	1	1 
6	-1	Weaver provided a drastic diagnosis of my mouth without any diagnotics employed to make such a judgment.  I found her rude, impertinent and judgemental.  All signs that this woman should not be dealing with the public on any scale. 	3	1	1	1 
6	0	I am Sarah. The previously mentioned &quot;only friendly face&quot; at this clinic. I left because I was overworked and extremely underappreciated. I went to work for dr. Jay Dalmer. He is a very kind, gentle dentist and does invisalign and some minor ortho ( for those needing treatment). 	5	1	1	5 
6	-1	Dr. Weaver is very unreliable. We had an appointment at 8:40am she was on time but would not accept any debit, cheque or credit cards as payment because her receptionist was not in that morning. She told us to take our buissness elsewhere. She only cares about the money and not the patient. Very rude orthodontist, and i would strongly recomed that you take your buissness elsewhere. 	1	1	1	1 
6	-1	She is NOT sociable,she is  inconsiderate doesn't pay attention to the client, crams too many people into her short hours of work, she is rude and doesn't give a**** if you are late for work or school, has such stupid hours, everyone hasn't work/plan around her which doesn't work for me! I really should have changed to a BETTER ortho. before i started with her. she changes staff way to much. She does good work but doesn't understand other peoples thought and it is annoying! I do NOT understand why she got her degree!! 	2	1	1	2 
6	0	Her hours suck. I am a student in post secondary and I've been going to her ever since junior high. She doesn't open on weekends, and she opens late in the morning and closes early in the day. I have the hardest flexibility scheduling around her. My brother and sister go to another orthodontist and from what I hear of their experience there makes me boil with rage that I have such a crappy ortho. She's nice, but I think she doesn't do her best to service you as a patient or update you on your progress. I've heard other unfavorable reviews from my acquaintances that have her as their ortho that have finished treatment. They say she ALWAYS prolongs it. My friend waited nearly a year over the time expected to get his braces off. 	2	3	2	3 
6	0	We are soooo glad we went with a different (more punctual, friendlier) orthodontist with a more competent staff for my second child. Unfortunately, we had to suffer with Weaver for 30 months with my first child. Highly NOT recommended. She does not value your time as people with jobs and school. And what happened to Sara, the only friendly face there&#63; All the other staff are moody and seem to hate their jobs. It is not unusual to wait in the waiting room for an hour, and then another hour sitting in the chair reading outdated National Geographic magazines. It is not uncommon for Weaver to cancel your appointment the day of, or to call and give you 30min notice that there is an opening. Save yourself a headache and avoid the Great White Shark. 	1	1	3	3 
6	1	Great Whites changed its office hours after my second child was halfway through treatment.  New hours don't include any time outside of school hours, so my marginal grade 11 student must now miss at least a half day of school monthly.  Wait times are abominable, and we only stay with Dr Weaver because we are so near the end - if it ever comes... 	4	1	3	5 
6	-1	She treated all three of my daughters and over the past 15+ years her demanor and attention to client needs has declined steadily. If you have a concern or complaint she will ignore it. I took the time to draft an email to her to state my concerns.  I received notice that it was deleted without being read.  Wait times are almost always very lengthy.  Dr. Weaver can be terse and rude.  She doesn't care if you sit forever in her waiting room - she deliberately books her patients in this manner and yet she doesn't seem to mind if SHE is late arriving.  Very high staff turnover and when she does hire new people they seem to be fresh out of school and inexperienced.  My youngest daughter was poked in the eye with a wire on one visit.  Have frequently encountered other irate folks in her waiting room. Her estimate of how long braces should be on is nowhere near what actually happens usually YEARS longer)and if you question why she blames the patient. Try taking your kids to this every month! 	2	1	1	2 
6	1	I wish they would do something with the waiting area. The chairs are old and dirty and the walls need painting. They are always late and the only friendly face at the front desk is Sara. As for this Dr.,she seems to know what she is doing but she is not a people person who will sit down and have a chat about unrelated topics, which is o.k. because I didn't come there to become her best friend.I have seen her work and the results are favorable. 	1	1	3	4 
6	-1	I am still a current patient of Dr. Weaver's and cannot wait until I never have to step foot in her office again! I have never had to wait so long for an appointment that is literally 30 seconds. On average the wait in the waiting room is 45-60 mins long, followed by an additional 45 mins wait in the chair. No one communicates with you, to let you know what is happening or how much longer you will have to wait. I have had dental impressions done by various dental assistants at Dr. Weavers office and always found them painful. One dental assistant tried to jam a tray in my mouth that was much too large and complained that my mouh did not have enough stretch. Dr. Weaver is unfriendly and seems impatient when you ask her questions. I was told that my braces would be on for approximately 18 months to 2 years...it ended up being close to 6 years. I now have to visit the office to maintain my retainers. I dread every appointment, because I know it will feel like an eternity until the end! 	1	1	1	1 
6	-1	very high staff turnover! too busy to take the time to explain.  Seems to me that Dr. Weaver is more intent on bringing in the clients but truly does not have the time to properly treat them.  My daughter has been in treatment far too long: almost makes me think that there is some lack in ability on Dr. Weaver's part!  Perhaps some &quot;upgrading&quot; and a session on bedside manner is due!! 	1	1	1	1 
6	-1	She is tardy and unintelligent orthodontist with a sole intent of accumulating money at the expense of poor service. Her staff is rude and often harasses us and the funniest moment was when I looked at the suggestion box (mounted on the wall) and found the bottom to be open flowing into a garbage bin filled with 300 letters. Expect to spend at least 2 hours in waiting for her and the appointment to last 45 seconds. 	1	1	1	1 
6	0	She is never on time no matter what time of day you book an appointment.  For a 5 minute appoinment, plan on spending 2 hours in her office.  She is very knowledgeable about what she does, demands perfection as an end result, but has trouble communicating to us regular people not it the industry.  She also talks super fast, and has frequent staff turnover. 	2	1	1	5 
6	0	unapproachable. girl in the front, not the receptionist, is very rude and not very helpful. always a change of staff. 		1	2	3 
6	0	long wait in office. she has no personality. she is not a people person. her staff is fine except the billing clerk in the front. she seems so unqualified and so rushed. 		1	2	3 
6	-1	Always a wait. Certain staff members good but overworked. Certain staff members unprofessional. Dr. Weaver only has office open a couple of days a week, needs another orthodontist to do her work. 		1	1	2 
6	-1	Long, long waits in the waiting room and then long, long waits on the chair. I was from out of town so it was a 3 hour drive to begin with. They always said I could book a Saturday appointment due to this fact but good luck doing that!! Will not take my other children there if they need braces. She was adding more chairs to the office as we were finishing with my son so now I am sure that there are even longer waits!!Poor service - not impressed, have told many people not to go there!! Insurance:Blue Cross / Blue Shield		1	1	3 
6	-1	My daughter had been seeing Dr. Weaver for 5 years and in that time while the insurance was paying claims she was fairly punctual. Once we were in a waiting pattern for my daughters teeth to be ready for braces we would have to visit her every few months. Every visit was a guaranteed 2 hours in the waiting room and then sometimes up to an hour in the chair waiting for her to see my daughter for what was literally a 3 minute visit. Dr. Weaver is not approachable at all as she is too busy to take the time to speak with her patients and when you do happen to pin her down for two minutes all you get is a lot of doctor talk. 		1	2	2 
7	0	Dr is okay, too laid back for my liking. She is however very nice and does have a lot of knowledge. Her receptionist isn't the nicest person has a lot of attitude and not helpful at all. Nurse was super nice and very motherly! 	1	3	3	3 
7	1	Great doctor! It was my first pregnancy and she walked me through everything. If she couldn't be at my appt because of an emergency, her fill in staff was always very friendly and helpful. She followed up with me in hospital after delivery (she wasn't the one who delivered my son). I wish she could be my family doctor! 	3	4	5	5 
7	-1	I've been experiencing symptoms that have persisted for over a year. After seeing 4 other doctors I was referred to Dr. Wagner. I am in pain, upset about the lack of diagnosis &amp; was hoping a specialist could help. Dr. Wagner was insulting &amp; condescending toward me. Ex: while I was laying on the examination table (vulnerable), she asked me if I exercise &amp; when I said no, she grabbed my inner thigh, jiggled it around saying, &quot;obvioulsy not&quot;, after which she, &amp; her associate (who was in training I think) had a good chuckle amongst themselves. It was humiliating, unnecessary. She did a swab test &amp; then because she could not immediately identify the problem, she proceeded to tell me that the problem (my PHYSICAL symptoms)may be psychlogical &amp; all in my head. After living with these symptoms daily, this was more than insulting to me. It made me feel hopeless. Her office called 3 days later; swab test showed I had bacterial vaginosis. I am seeing a new specialist for persisting symptoms. 	3	3	1	1 
7	1	Dr. Wagner has delivered all of my four children.  Her office runs mostly on time, and she is caring, compassionate and very competent.  She instills confidence with her bedside manner, and invites her patients to be knowledgeable partners in decisions regarding their health.  Jodi is always pleasant, and greets many patients by name as they come through the door.  Her nursing staff are always excellent, and even the locums that she has cover while she is away are top notch.  I have nothing but good to say about Dr. Wager, and her staff, after 8 years of care in her office. 	5	4	5	5 
7	1	Dr. Wagner is great! I put my complete trust in her for all 3 of my pregnancies, 2 of which were high risk and involved c-sections. She is incredibly strong under pressure, which is just what every pregnant woman needs. I wonder about the accuracy of some of these other posts. She was honestly the most caring physician I've ever met. I recommend her to all of my girl friends. 	5	5	5	5 
7	-1	I wanted to see Dr Wagner for my pregnancy, but was turned away unless I had a papsmear done first before even seeing her! I was not comfortable with the un-necessary expectations and I chose not to bother seeing her because of that. 	 4/5/10	3	3	1
7	1	Delivered two of my three of my children by c-section. I had infections with both her operations and a hematoma with my first. The c-section not done by her I had no problem in healing. She is a nice person and doctor but surgery wise I did not have a good healing experience. 	4	4	4	4 
7	1	I had dr wagner with my 2 pregnencies and she was awsome if I decide to have more children I will definatley be going back to her. 	1	4	5	5 
7	-1	I saw Dr. Wagner for a coloscopy at the Women's Health Centre in Calgary.  The nurses were great but after they took me to the examination room I waited for Dr. Wagner for an hour.  When she finally got there she did not even introduce herself to me or ask if I had any questions.  Then when she inserted the speculum inside of me she burnt me with it because it had been sitting in hot water for the hour that i waited to see her.  Needless to say I asked for another doctor when I went back to coloscopy clinic and got a doctor that I absolutely loved and will now be seeing for future problems. 	4	1	1	1 
7	0	Dr. Wagner performed surgery on me in March 08.  I had complications from surgery and was not able to get any help from her, she brushed me off so I went to an emergency clinic and they still could not get any assistance from her. I went for my post-op exam and she didn't even do an internal exam on me after all of problems I had been having.  Need to say I have since switched to a different specialist. 	3	3	1	5 
7	1	Dr. Wagner saw me in the hospital when I went into pre-term false labour.  At that point I didn't have an obstetrician.  She told me to start seeing her out of her office.  She was very nice, and very knowledgeable.  She happened to be working the night I delivered my baby.  She did a fabulous job.  She is very encouraging, and I can only hope she will continue to be able to deliver my babies in the future! 	4	4	5	5 
7	0	I was a patient of Dr. Wagner for several years and really liked her. But when I had an emergency and called in, I was told by her incredibly rude receptionist, Jodi, that I would need a referal from my family doctor in order to see her again. What a waste of time and health care dollars! I don't have a family doctor so I have to go to a walk in clinic to a doctor who knows far less about me than Dr. Wagner so that he/she can tell her that she needs to see me! 	1	2	1	4 
7	0	I have left several messages for dr. wagner however &quot;Jodi&quot; was incredibly rude.  I remember a lovely woman &quot;Heather&quot; who really took the time to care for Dr. Wagner's patients.  Dr. Wagner get Heather back she was a wonderful asset to your practice. 	1	1	1	4 
7	1	I had Dr. Wagner for my first pregnancy and absolutely loved her!  Unfortunately she wasn't on call for delivery but she is a great OB/GYN to have around if you are pregnant! 	3	4	5	5 
7	1	I have been dealing with infertility issues for 5 years. Dr. Wagner has preformed two surgeries to remove fibroids in my uterus. I have no real complaints about her personally, however, her support staff has been unhelpful in the least. After my second surgery I bled heavily for 16 days, I tried on several occasions to reach Dr. Wagner and left messages for her nurses to please let me know if I need to be seen medically. On my final attempt, her receptionist told me that she had not passed on my messages to the Dr. or the nurse. She then proceeded to read OUT LOUD OVER THE PHONE the report from my surgery. I don't believe a receptionist is qualified to interpret the results of this report. I opted to seek out another physician. 	1	1	3	4 
7	1	i am 48yrs old and i had a hysterectomy operation done by Dr,Wagner because i was having bladder problems and this surgery seem to be my answer and it was this has helped alot from day 1 till the operation in August of this year she made me feel good , she was kind took her time with me ,she told me my options of what would happen i was scared but she padded my on the shoulder and said she will take good care of me. i felt safe with her for any woman that has to have this operation I would recommend her. she took the time to see me in the hospital too see how I was doing her staff was nice to. So I thought i would put my rate in on her as a gyno doctor to not just as a baby one so if you are looking to see her as a gyno doctor look no futher i recommend her this is my rating about Dr Wagner I hope my opinion helps other women thank you Dr. Wagner for for everything is well and good 	5	5	5	5 
7	1	I saw Dr.Wagner for my first child, saw her the worst miscarriage, and now am seeing her for my third child. She is one in a millon! Her Staff is like no other. Her office is always busy but Jodi Always takes time out to say hi always remembers peoples FIRST names, which never happens anymore these days. Way to go Dr.Wagner... You are a class act. Thank you. 		4	5	5 
7	1	Dr Wagner has been there for my wife and I through our 3 pregnancies. I can't say enough nice things about her. We are blessed to have her as a doctor in our city. 		5	5	5 
7	1	Dr. Wagner is an amazing doctor, she's so full of life and incredibly smart, Dr. Wagner has taken care of me through both of my pregnancies,you get a warm feeling from her everytime you talk to her which is rare for a doctor, she is simply amazing!! Her nurse and assistant are both tremendous too! Our health care system needs people like this. 		5	5	5 
7	1	I had dr wagner with my first pregancy and she was awsome if I decide to have more children I will definatley be going back to her. 		5	5	5 
7	1	I had Dr. Wagner for my first pregnancy, will be seeing her for my current pregnancy and work with her at the PLC. She is fantastic. She's friendly and personable as both a patient and co-worker. She very knowledgable and never rushes questions etc.. no matter how busy her waiting room is. I highly recommend her and only wish she could be my GP. 		4	5	5 
7	1	She was my OB for both of my higher risk pregnancies, and was so wonderful and caring towards me. Her and her staff takes the time to remember your name and are very friendly. If I were to have more babies i'd always go back to her! 		5	5	5 
8	1	Friendly doctor.  He took time to get to know my daughter (3 y.o.) by playing peek-a-boo, by making a balloon out of a surgical glove, and by asking her what she was interested in (princesses) and talking with her for a minute about it.  Comprehensive in his exam, took time to ask background questions (rather than assuming we feed her juice 24/7 as other Dentists do) and explained things clearly, actually engaging in dialogue with me, rather than just spewing info. Unfortunately, he does not see children until they are 7 or 8 =( 	 3/24/11	5	3	5
8	1	I have been going to Gordon for about 15 years and have never ever met anyone so passionate or more caring for his patients than him, I woudl highly recommend him to anyone. Great staff as well. 		5	5	5 
8	1	Can't say enough good about both himself & his staff. I have gone to him for many years now & take my 10 & 12 year old girls also. He & his staff are both great with the girls. He pulled my oldest daughters tooth a few years ago & managed to still remain popular with her. She has no fears of him what so ever. HIGHLY recommended! 		5	5	5 
8	1	Honest, friendly and trustworthy. What more can you ask for&#63; 		5	5	5 
8	1	Very very caring great staff very knowledgeable just alround great place to go, We have been there for many years. Great doctor. 		5	5	5 
9	1	Doctor double-you is hype!, very informative and helpful, people have to be patient to appreciate his good services, anyone who is not impressed with the Doc and start by brushing their teeth! stay up! VIAGRA..... 	3	3	4	4 
9	1	This Doctor is excellent.  Anyone who says different are on the wrong meds.. 	5	5	5	5 
9	1	I found him very helpful, the nurses at his clinic were unfriendly but he is a good doctor 	2	3	5	5 
9	-1	This guy doesn't keep up with medicine. He turns patients in and out like an assembly line. Obviously he's in it only for the cash. 	1	1	1	1 
9	-1	He is always in a hurry to get his patients in and out and when you are in the room with him he doens't pay much attention to what your concerns might be. Dr. Wadhwa is pretty much there for a pay cheque and not to help his clients. I have told my parents on numerous occasions they need to find another family doctor because this one had misdiagnosed them both on numerous occasiions! He is also very quick to perscribe meds to his clients even if they may not need them!! Insurance:Blue Cross / Blue Shield		1	1	1 
9	-1	Not good. 		4	1	1 
9	-1	He is ok but does not attend his clinic very often. 		1	2	2 
10	1	Dr. Ward is incredible. He has been my doctor since I was born. Not only is he very interested int health, but he always remembers details in my life and asks me about it. He is like a part of our family, and we all simply adore him. He is unbelievably knowledgeable. His staff can be a bit abrasive, but I have never had problems with any of them. 	5	5	5	5 
10	1	Very good family doctor who has been my dotor for a great many years.  I have no complaints at all, he seems thorough and competent and unlke some others here I don't find that he rushes me and does take the time to answer my questions and explain his diagnosis.  He is sincerly interested in my health.  My only concern is that some day he will retire and I will have to find another. 	 5/3/10	3	3	5
10	1	Dr. Ward is the best. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and kind. Unfortunately, Lisa is unkind, unprofessional and ABRASIVE. My advice is to call back and speak to someone other that her if you actually need assistance or test results. I think she believes she is Dr. Wards personal bodyguard or something. 	 7/17/09	2	5	5
10	1	Many years since I was one of Rick's patients. I suffer severe tinnitus. He was empathetic and very professional. Looking for a FP now. Hope I can find one like him. 	5	5	5	5 
10	1	Saw him as a substitute when my Dr. was away and he was wonderful. Quickly diagnosed my thyroid condition and made the appropriate referrals while spending time teaching the student Dr. what to look for. Have also heard wonderful things about him from my mother who usually likes to complain about doctors. 	4	4	5	5 
10	1	He is our family physician and we love him. The clinic is fantastic, we are always able to contact a Dr. be it day night weekend or holiday. I have absolutely no complaints about Dr. Ward. Fantastic. 	5	4	5	5 
10	1	Overall, a great doctor. When he is not aavailable, the staff get you in to see another doctor right away. I find Dr.Ward friendly, and knowledgeable. 	3	3	4	5 
10	1	Excellent practitioner - very approachable and insightful. No doubt has been stretched beyond the limit of optimum workload. He'd be an ideal doctor to clone. Staff above the norm in being helpful. Lisa is a gem. 	5	4	5	5 
10	-1	Dr. Ward is never in his office, and it is nearly impossible to make an appointment. His staff are VERY rude on the phone and in person. You have to wait at least a month to get in to see him, and even then he's usually on holidays. A few times I've went in, it was another doctor who ended up seeing me, since he was unavailable. The last time, I booked in with him and they asked if a student doctor could come in as well. I said sure. She ended up doing everything, and he never even came into the room. I happened to see him in the hall as I was leaving my appointment, which was supposed to be with HIM. Unacceptable staff, when you do see him, he rushes you out the door.as quickly as possible, and is never available. Ignored a very serious health problem in a family member which later required emergency surgery, even afte repeated visits. I do NOT recommend this doctor to anyone. 		1	2	2 
10	0	Dr. Ward has changed in the last 5 years, he does not seem to have any time for his patients. When booking my last appt. it took over a month to get in. When I have had problems that needed attending to right away, the office staff were rude and would only direct me to health link. I was fed up and went to a walk-in clinic to get antibiotics and was then given heck by Dr. Ward's office for going to a walk in since they are charged for their patients going elsewhere. I will be switching doctors when I can find one recommended to me. 		2	2	4 
10	0	I was a patient of Ward's since dr. Burroughs retired. Ward used to be very good, but now rushes through patients and his staff are overwhelmed and rude. Often, I have to wait a month for an appointment. Ward ignored 3 very serious health problems in my immediate family, 2 of which later required surgery to correct. It is unfortunate that the changes in his clinic have a very poor effect on his longtime patients. 		3	3	3 
10	1	I have been one of Rick's patients for a few years. The one thing I would like to say about him that you can't say about most, if any doctors, is that Rick has never perscribed medication without looking into other solutions. Most doctors I know assume that medication is all you need to fix things. They perscribe it so they can make more money. Rick cares more about his patients and their health than he does money. He may be rushed, but he does take the time to help his patients when they need him. Good doctors like Rick are extremely rare. I have looked into other doctors just to see how they do things, and they really don't take the time to really get to know their patients. 		5	5	5 
10	1	Good Doctor, Good Guy - Cares about what he does. Probably has far too much on his plate. 		3	5	5 
10	1	I have been a patient of Dr. Ward's for 20+ years and I have to say I am not happy anymore. I always leave the office feeling like I forgot something because I always seem to be rushed out of there. They have WAY too many patients at the clinic now and I use to feel very comfortable now I feel like a number. Rick is a very kind man but I think he is in way over his head. I will continue to use Crosfoot but I am searching for a new Dr. now. Crowfoot is good for minor aliments but it scares me if something more serious came up it might get over looked because they are in such a rush to get on to the next patient. 		4	3	4 
10	0	Dr Ward has been my FP for over 20 years and was very good for many of those years. However in the last 5-7 years I have lost all confidence in him. He has ignored serious health issues with me more than once because he was in a hurry, and I feel rushed and unimportant every time I deal with the clinic and Dr Ward. I have decided to change doctors because of this, but will be remaining for the time being with the clinic. I would not recommend Rick to anyone at this time because I think the biggest problem is that he has too many commitments and cannot dedicate his time to his patients unless they are &quot;typical&quot; and not suffering from major and/or chronic conditions. 		2	1	4 
10	1	Dr. Ward is a very nice man and very sensitive and caring doctor. I trust him. My only negative experience and/or could be better is the follow up and admin. process within his office. It is at times not a very friend environment with his staff. I have no issues with Rick - at all. 		3	5	5 
10	1	DR. Ward is the best Dr. anyone could ever ask for.He is very respectful and has the best side maner I have ever seen in a Dr. He is willing to look ouside the box to give each and everyone of his patients the best possible care. It is our great pleasure in knowing him and we hope he does not retire for many years to come. No one will be able to replace him. We truly have the best Dr. in Calgary. Way to go Dr. Ward 		5	5	5 
10	1	Dr Ward has been our family Dr. since he took over Dr. Paul Burroughs practice.I don't think of him as only our family Dr., but also as a caring friend. He always inquires about other members of our family.HE IS THE BEST!! M/A S 		5	5	5 
10	1	Dr. Ward is the most amazing physician I have ever encountered. He is caring and concerned and funny as well. Most importantly he listens to his patients and trusts us to know ourselves both in health and in illness. When he chooses to retire, all others will pale in comparison. Thanks Dr. Ward 		5	5	5 
10	1	Dr. Ward is a very personable, caring, and knowledgeable physician. He would go extra miles for his patients. He once came to see me when the clinic was closed to ensure that I would get proper medical care. I am very pleased to have him as my family physician. 		5	5	5 
10	1	Very caring and excellent at being able to diagnose and get refferal to specialist if required. Great mannerism. easy to talk to and dicuss situations. 		5	5	5 
10	1	I have been going to Dr Ward since 2005 and can't save enough about him. His knowledge on Cardilogy, and family health is the best i have seen. He has a great beside manor and true care for his patients. His Professionalizm to help with your healt both physical and Mental, has helped me through many tought times.Thanks, keep up the great work 		5	5	5 
11	1	very thorough, very helpful. excellent cardiologist. 	5	5	5	5 
12	1	overall my exp. with dr. ward was exellent. my only regret is that my own life forced me to reschedule and I receieved an appt. in one mo. thats awesome for a busy doc. top drawer ser. 	5	5	5	5 
12	1	wow was refered to Dr.Ward and never heard anything about an app.so family doc. told me t call and I finnaly got through with the answer it would take 4 months before I would even hear from them with an app.I was told he has over 200 referal letters waiting for app. Very dissapointed to hear that and I hoe he is worth the wait. 	5	5	5	5 
12	1	I strongly recommend Dr. Ward, his sensitively and consideration for his patients was outstanding .My daughter is now better informed and armed with the knowledge to have a healthier life.   Thank you, Dr. Ward  Mom 	1	2	4	4 
12	1	Dr.Ward was great, answered all my questions and I didn't feel a thing!! 	5	5	5	5 
12	1	Dr Ward was great. He made me feel very at ease before, during, and after the procedure. The only downside is that my procedure was on June 30th and my follow up appointment is not until October 5th. Yikes 	4	4	5	5 
12	1	Dr Ward was fantastic. He took a very scary scenario and took all my fears away. He was kind, gentle and explained the procedure and findings to me in terms that made sense! He treated me as a person and not a job! thank you! 	5	5	5	5 
12	-1	I don't know much about this doctor as I was referred to him 2 weeks ago and have yet to receive a call to book an appt. My doctor marked me as urgent. I have been trying to call for 2 days now and there's never an answer. So far, not impressed. 	1	1	1	1 
12	1	I was really happy to have Dr. Ward as my doctor. He made me feel very comfortable and made sure I understood everything. He was very respectful and personable. 	4	5	5	5 
12	1	Dr. Ward was awesome with me, very personable and made me feel very comfortable. It was my first hospital experience and I was so nervous, he made me feel at ease. 	5	5	5	5 
12	1	With me he was very considerate and explained things to me. Alsowas pleased that he gave me sedatives so I felt nothing . I recommend him to anyone. 	5	5	5	5 
12	1	Very helpful and understanding,answers any questions you may have. Colonoscopy went well he used 2 injectins through a iv and hardly felt a thing. 	5	5	5	5 
13	1	After major issues with another denturist, Marc saw me immediately &amp; has gone above &amp; beyond to ensure my satisfaction with my temporary &amp; permanent dentures.  He is very knowledgeable &amp; takes lots of time explaining everything. Very reasonable costs, very helpful, patient-oriented Doctor.  Very Highly Recommended! 	5	5	5	5 
14	1	Competent and efficient doctors and staff. Very quick but never make you feel rushed. Everybody in the clinic always cheerful and helpful. 		5	5	5 
14	1	Dr. Watson is a truly skilled practitioner of chiropractic. He was not my first chiropractor, but he will be my last! Began seeing him shortly after he began his practice in Oakridge and he has performed miracles for me. I recommend him to friends and colleagues without hestitation. To his credit his 'front end' staff are also both compotent and friendly. A great team ! 		4	5	5 
14	1	Dr. Collin Watson is a miracle worker! I threw my back out and he managed to get me back to normal in one week. His Active Release techniques work wonders. He doesn't pressure you to come back, but encourages you to for your own good. His staff are VERY friendly and personable. I don't hesitate recommending him to family & friends. 		5	5	5 
14	1	Dr. Watson is extremely good at manipulations and active releaes. He is caring and takes time in his assessments. He give good quality treatments to everyone and does'nt always need you to come back & see him unless you need to. The weakness is in punctuality and you will wait to see him. Receptionists are friendly only soetimes not as respectful to others as could be. 		1	5	5 
14	1	Dr. Watson is very helpful whenever you ask a question and is you have a pain, he will work through it with you and offer exercises that will assist you in healing. He does not believe in having you come just to come for a visit and he can charge - he lets you decide when you next need to see him. Insurance:Blue Cross / Blue Shield		4	5	5 
15	1	I was diagnosed with RRMS 11/6/2001, @ 21 years old, by Dr. Warren.  I love  Dr. Ken G. Warren!  If he could give me a new nervous system I'd love him more.  I will miss him when he retires!  I am hopeful and excited about a new doctor; he needs to find life outside of medicine, while he can!  Anything negative I see on this comment board angers me!  This man is brilliant - He did not hand out  the neuro diseases to his patients!!  He cannot provide magical beans to fix everything that ails you!  Currently I have Secondary Progressive MS.  Everybody has hard stuff to deal with.  Dr. Warren and support staff help immensely!  Take initiative of keeping track of your own health, an active participant/caregiver.....then use Dr. Warren's brilliance and resources to supplement positive care and outcomes!!  -MS 	 4/5/12	5	5	5
15	-1	I have been seeing Dr. Warren for the last 10 years and when trying to reschedule an appointment for the first time, his staff was completely rude and basically told me that I should get a new referral and a new Neurologist. 	1	1	1	1 
15	-1	Dr. Warren is a complete idiot.  I ended up in the University Hospital after suffering a seizure.  Dr. Warren was my attending Neurologist.  When I regained consciousness, Dr. Warren literally screamed at me for five minutes about my weight.  His opening salvo, at the top of his lungs, was &quot;Do you want do die&#63;&quot;  Another of his choice comments was, &quot;I want you to lose weight every day of your life.&quot;  I will never ever forget Dr. Warren and the true idiot he is. 	1	1	1	1 
15	0	At my last a ppt with Dr. warren he told me I would look 10 years younger if I dyed my hair!  I was actually stunned.  I wish I had told him that he would look 10 years younger if he wore a toupee.  After a 20 year long Dr/patient relationship, I've had it; I won't be going back. 	4	3	1	4 
15	-1	Dr. Warren is an overpaid ignorant idiot.  If you have noticed mostly all his patients in the waiting room are either in walkers or wheelchairs. Reason being he does not help them with meds or otherwise he uses his patients as Guinea Pigs!! what a mistake... S. Menyes 	1	1	1	1 
15	-1	I have been seeing him for 5 years now regarding epilepsy. Over time things have deteriorated with him. Every visit I have now I can expect to wait at least 15 minutes and have waited up to an hour and a half past my scheduled time... He flat out ignore what I would say, ie send letters to my other doctors saying I had no seizures over a period after telling him that I had, and generally has provided no help in the last 3 years. I have had to regrettably move on, as much as I liked him and his early support. I do, however, find his staff to be exceptional. 	5	1	2	2 
15	0	Heard he was a good Dr.,but found out he was not interested in seeing patients unless their MS was in the later stages. Very frustrating to get the proper treatment or to even get an appointment. I do not recommend this Dr. to anyone with mild MS. 	2	3	1	4 
15	-1	I was newly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and had a visit with Dr. Warren who at that time was the &quot;MS Guru&quot;. After hearing my symptoms, he told me to &quot;have an affair&quot;. I was a scared young girl and was insulted and disgusted by his rude response. Needless to say, I did not return. 	2	2	1	1 
15	1	Excellent doctor. Expert on MS. I am fortunate to have him as my physician. -- Mark Pickup 	5	5	5	5 
15	-1	I saw him in the er after having an MS relapse, and he told me it was just a migraine! 	2	3	1	1 
15	-1	He has a bad sense of humour and missed diagnosed me. I had to see a different Neurologist. 	4	4	1	1 
15	1	as a patient under dr. warren i am always impressed with his dedicaton and understanding i feel understood with the m.s. i have for neatly 20 years his research drug  is working great i have seen  many doc's that don't come close to dr.warren and ingrid catz thank you ken 	5	5	5	5 
15	-1	He uses his research as a fascade to cover up his inability to treat people with respect.  If he is interested in what is ailing a patient the patient will receive decent care.  If he is able to diagnose a patient but is unable to treat the patient with a positive outcome, he just gives up or medicates to shut the patient up.  He is not in control of procedures done for patients in that he can't seem to keep track as to what procedures have been done.  He never consults the chart of a patient while the patient is speaking to him, he only goes by the information that the patient provides which could be problematic as with patients with neurological problems the information may not be correct.  Regardless of whether or not a physician is a &quot;remarkable researcher&quot; or not does not give him the right to treat patients that are not in his &quot;criteria&quot; poorly and with a lack of respect.  We are taught to treat physicians with respect and yet why is this respect not upheld by the physician. 	2	3	1	3 
15	0	had him as a doctor for years and got no where with him, he was not seeming to try to fix or help with symptoms i had with my ms......i switched drs and have since been put on meds that work for me and been introduced to a program to assist with determining how far gone my condition is....he has s horrible bedside manner and flat out told me that he does not agree with injection therapy.  he is more concerned with finding out why you have it as opposed to fixing and helping managing it 	5	4	1	4 
15	-1	When Dr. Warren broke the news to us that my husband had MS, he did so abruptly and unkindly that I broke into tears.  He looked at me and said, &quot;And YOU should be on anti-depressants!&quot;  He is interested only in patients that have the type of MS that compliments his specific research and is very kind to people that donate to his research. 	1	3	1	2 
15	1	Have been with DR. Warran for 20 years. Find him to be a very understanding man. 	5	4	5	5 
15	1	Dr.Warren is an amazing doctor and scientist. Yes, his bedside manner isn't exactly perfect, but that's because he is a scientist first and foremost. It's because of him that oneday soon ms can be something that will easily be treated. please be patient with him and try to understand that he's just doing his job. if you need to talk to someone about your personal feelings, his nurses are all very good and understanding. 		5	5	5 
15	0	The last time I visited Dr. Warren's office, I was upstairs, had my appointment and had gone to the washroom and was leaving the building before my husband got his truck parked. Left the office feeling very discouraged and the 6 hour drive was wasted for the five minutes I was in the office. 		2	2	4 
15	0	was my first neurologist when i was diagnosed with MS... i switched doctors this year. Everytime I saw him he basically told me that MS is not that serious and to carry on.... Old nurses at the MS office were good, new ones, epecially Pauline are not at all understanding and very hard to talk to. 		2	2	4 
15	1	been seeing Dr. Warren for nearly 15 plus years always helpful since m.s. entered in my life a very dedicated and knowledgable from min to minute have been on his medicine he and ingrid have designed he has a big heart very scienticfic man 	 4/18/07		5	5
15	0	Not very good bedside manner. I always leave his office feeling defeated and full of more questions unanswered then answered unless I get to see one of his nurses. He is very unsympathetic and as an MS specialist he should realize that sometimes even getting out of bed is a chore but to tell someone that they don't need disability benefits because they are not retarded, blind or in a wheelchair is just plain ignorant. Also suggested I get a maid if the housework is getting to be too much for me, but how am I to do that when I can't even have a job&#63; I think he needs to live in the real world for awhile. He probably makes more in my 15 minute appointment then I do in an entire week! I find him very unrealistic, sometimes pompous and uncaring. Very unsympathetic. 		2	3	3 
15	-1	Bedside manner is not up to par, very unempathetic. Felt not listened to and felt he was all scientific not understanding of my symptoms. Told me nothing wrong and to carry on with my life...later diagnosed with MS with another neurologist that would listen. 		2	1	1 
15	1	He's very knowledgeable but needs to improve his bedside manner. 		4	3	5 
15	1	elt over looked spent 5 years as his pateint.he made inapropreat comments and did noot see what was happening. now spms and wonder if he did something to help me if it would be differant.i am only 10 yrs since diagnosis and eeds 8. but i must say i respect his commitment to ms and his resurch. 		5	2	5 
16	1	Doug Watson believed in me when no one else did.  Without his faith in me I know I wouldn't be here today. I will forever be grateful to him. 	5	5	5	5 
16	1	Truly excellent physician. Professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, honourable and real. 	5	5	5	5 
16	1	Ive been a patient of his for 21 years. He truly gave me the tools to save my life. I owe my life to this man. 	5	5	5	5 
16	1	I now consider myself very fortunate to have been referred to him a number of years ago.  I was very ill at the time, and over the course of several years, with his help, I got better.  But it took a long time, was a very painful journey, and looking back I sure didn't know what the outcome would be when I first committed to going.  He is a kind and gentle man in addition to being very knowledgeable and compassionate.  I was sorry to learn that he will be cutting back on his practice.  He helped my save my life. 	4	5	5	5 
16	1	I thought he was thorough. I saw him for an hour and he didn`t prescribe me anything....I guess that`s good&#63; We are doing a follow up after he receives more info so he can make a better diagnosis. I felt him to be a good listener and forward but wasn`t offensive. 	5	5	3	5 
16	1	He was attentive and thorough and I found him to be a good listener. I quite liked him. 		4	5	5 
16	-1	I was referred to Dr. Watson and was extremely unimpressed. After listening to me for 5 minutes he recommended that I be prescribed two antidpressants and an anti-psychotic. Even my family doctor thought this assessment was ridiculous. He has a very cold, uncaring personality and I wouldn't dream of being his patient. In the end my G.P. put me on another antidpressant and I have been fine. 		5	1	1 
16	1	Referred to for assessment. Waited 6 months to see him. Referred a year later for a second visit. After waiting ONE YEAR without even a phone call for an appointment. I seem to have been lost on a waiting list. Don;t know what the problem is in Calgary with shrinks, but almost impossible to see one short of showing up sicidal at emergency. But don't get me started on emergency waiting rooms. Enough to drive anyone crazy. 		5	5	5 
17	1	Dr. Walsh has an approachable nature. She is also tenacious so that one can feel safe and secure in her treatment plans. I have been lucky enough to be her patient for 20 years and am grateful for her care during the ups and downs in my life. Her intervention saved my life. 	5	5	5	5 
17	1	Dr Walsh has been our doctor for over 18 years, she delivered both my boys, and is still our doctor.  She is very compassionate and caring.  I am especially grateful for all that she has tried to do for my older son, and some of the health issues that he has had over the last few years. She has been nothing but helpful and accomodating, and made every effort to try and facilitate quicker appointments with specialists. We will stay with her as long as she practices :) 	5	5	5	5 
17	1	Dr Walsh has been my first and only family dr since arriving in Canada in 1990. I hope she will continue her practice and treating all my problems until... I don't need any doctor ;) 	5	4	5	5 
17	1	Dr. Walsh has been my Doctor for over 10 years.  Love her!  She is kind, listens, and always gets to the root of the problem.  I will never leave Dr. MJ Walsh. Whenever myself or my children have any medical concerns she has the answers or researches and gives great advice. 	5	5	5	5 
17	1	I have been MJ's patient for many years. I'm glad that she moved to her new clinic (Salveo) as she has a much better arrangement for seeing her patients. I am also a health care provider, and find her open to information that I can bring to her. She is focussed on her patients, and doing the best for each one of them. She doesn't hesitate to consult when it is needed. I wouldn't leave her practise for anything. 	5	5	5	5 
17	1	Dr. Walsh is a very caring doctor. She takes the time to listen to your cares and concerns, even if it takes longer than your alloted time with her. She is sometimes late for scheduled appointments because she takes the time to listen. 		4	5	5 
17	1	I have been seeing MJ for about 15 years and wouldn't trade for anything. She has always listened to my concerns and gone the extra mile. MJ has no problem recommending another Doctor when one is necessary. MJ is very kind, willing to take time to listen,very efficent and up on the latest medical treatments. Please don't retire. 		5	5	5 
17	1	Dr. MJ Walsh has been my family doctor since 1990. I think she is absolutely the best doctor around. She is very compassionate, knowledgeable, open minded, flexible, personable, funny, kind, and goes the extra mile to help you in any way that she can. She is very approachable, understanding and not at all judgemental. She has an excellent and well deserved reputation in the medical community and with patients also. I feel extremely grateful to have been able to have her as a doctor for so many years, and I just love the people at the Salveo clinic. Like Dr. Walsh, the other staff are so friendly and make you feel welcome and respected, like a person rather than an Alberta Health Care number. They actually remember your name and courteously greet you when you arrive and when you leave. 		2	5	5 
17	1	Dr. Walsh has been my docter for over 15 years and delivered my youngest daughter. My daughters have her as a regular doctor now and are very comfortable with her, even for the dreaded 'annual' check-ups. She is respectful, pragmatic and knowledgeable. I appreciate her preference to resolve health issues naturally when possible. MJ is very open-minded and more knowledgeable than most doctors regarding naturopathic and alternative medicines - this has been of great benefit to me personally. The Salveo clinic is very organized & efficient & I've never had to wait more than a couple minutes. 		5	5	5 
17	1	Helped me through my preg with my son was great!! Wish she was there for the delivery : ( 		4	4	4 
17	1	Dr.Walsh is a great doc. She knows what she is talking about and understands the wants and needs of everyone it seems. what more could you ask for in a doctor&#63; 	 3/20/07		5	5
17	-1	Very condescending and dismissive. Seems to resent patient having any knowledge regarding their own condition. Do not feel listened to or understood. Nursing staff is great, though. 		4	2	2 
17	1	MJ has been my doctor for the past 19 years and has delivered both of my children. She had taken on my husband, when he needed a doctor and helped him find a good male doctor after his immediate concerns were taken care of. She is always very attentive and makes me feel well taken care of. 	 3/9/07		5	5
17	1	M.J. has been my doctor for 14yrs. She has high energy, which may to some patients make them feel hurried through their appt. I assure you that she is thoughful and does hear what you have to say. If there happens to be something that she is unsure of she has no problem seeking the answer or finding a specialist for your concern. I trust her with my healthcare needs as well as those of my three children. 		5	4	5 
17	1	Great family doctor. Very thorough, prompt and friendly! 		4	5	5 
17	1	Dr.Walsh has been my doctor for 13 years and has delivered my 2 daughters.....she is terrific! 		5	5	5 
17	1	Our personalities matched and she seems to be on the same page as me in regards to raisind children 		5	5	5 
18	1	We were referred to doctor Wainer at birth do to our son making a weird arch when born and he did the follow up which didn't turn out to be anything serious. I then was referred to him for our son as he was displaying ADHD tendances and behavior issues by age 4/5. He said when we came back to him those 3/4 years later that he wasn't surprised to see him as he was already showing signs of the disorder. He has always been pleasent, friendly and concerned for everyones well-being, as it affects not only our son but our daughters life and our Marriage!  If it weren't for him, I don't think our family would be a unit today. He always takes time to listen to our concerns and evaluates school, home life &amp; social situation regarding our son. We take his advice seriously as we tried the other methods which helped very little and at the time were against ADHD meds, but taking his advice was the best thing we did for our sons sake, who now can concentrate on some schooling and control some impulses. 	 1/31/12	4	2	5
18	1	Dr Wainer has been my daughter's doctor for over 5 years. She is almost 18 and we will be sad to stop going to his office. He has always treated her with respect and understanding. He listens to her concerns (and mine) and has suggestions. She is continually praised for her success and effort. Having Dr. Wainer as her doctor has been life changing. She and I believe her academic, social, and mental success is due to the help he has given her. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, I believe, as her parent, that he has saved her life. She is reaching her full potential and Dr Wainer is one of the big reasons why. 	 1/4/12	5	5	5
18	-1	Didn't help at all. We were referred to Dr. Wainer by our then family doctor. Our son was 4 almost 5 and not potty trained. Told my husband and me &quot;wait a go on getting the ball going but I'm not going any futher.&quot; Needless to say we found a different pediatrician and finally got our now 6yr old the help he needs. 	 3/28/11	4	1	1
18	1	Dr Wainer has been the best!! We started seeing him when my son was 6 (who is now 16) I was absolutely at the end of my rope as I had no diagnosis nor any idea what was wrong with my son. He recommended different counselling as well as referred him to the Childrens' Hospital for 2 6 week admittance sessions to be able to get a correct diagnosis as well as the proper medication that worked for MY son not just any child. I have no idea where I would be today if it wasn't for Dr Wainer. He has always answered all of my questions and provided any referrals that I have needed. Never would I take my son elsewhere except to Dr Wainer!! Hats off to him as I would have given up if not for the help that he has provided all of these years! Thank you!! 	 12/9/10	4	4	5
18	-1	If you are interested in giving your child meds to help with a behavioral issues GO see Dr.Wainer. If you want tools and referrals , choose another Dr. Dr.Wainer is not open to discussing anything with anyone who is not open to his prescriptions. He is rude and shuts you down, the first mention of other options!! He looks at you like you are crazy and the only person in the world who is looking into alternative medicines and ways. Ask for a referral for some counseling and he seems insulted and tells you to come back in 6 months if you decide you need a prescription. Open your mind up Dr.Wainer its 2010. Its not about you being wrong its about people wanting options and not having a child addicted to meds at a young age or at least offer ways to get tools so a child doesn't have to be addicted to meds for life. and what is so wrong with counseling for your child&#63;&#63; 	 11/15/10	5	1	1
18	1	Dr. Wainer is terrific.  He circumcised my son and was very kind and gentle.  I was in tears, fearful of putting my son in pain but Dr. Wainer was quick and efficient and my baby didn't cry at all.  The circumcision looks great and I would highly recommend Dr. Wainer.  The nurse in his office was incredibly sweet too. 	 8/26/10	5	5	5
18	1	Dr. Weiner is the best Pediatrician that i could of asked for my daughter. When my daughter was born she was without oxygen for about 22 minutes it was called shoulder distosen, and i went to him to get a stitch out of her side that she had left in there, and he is the most concerned, patient, respectful doctor. Doctors like him should be reconized more. I would refer anyone to him without a doubt. Whoever that sees him will not be disappointed. I had to move from calgary and i think about how good of a doctor that he is. Overall he is an awsome guy. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORD DR&gt; WEINER 	5	5	5	5 
18	-1	I find he is always very short with me, won't answer questions &amp; talks to me like I don't know what I am doing. He's never on time, and when I tell him I have questions he walks out of the room. I always book last appointment of the day as well, and I get out of there 2hrs later if Im lucky because we must wait so long to get in to see him for maybe 5 minutes. I will not being going back to him again. cld 	1	1	2	1 
18	1	I gave Dr. Wainer a 4 for punctuality, as sometimes it's hit or miss how long you wait.  However, with that said, if my child required extra care - he will give it. He does &quot;squeeze&quot; extra appt's in at the end of the day when your children require it - I don't mind waiting for that.  As a parent, knowing that the doctor has EIGHT minutes to examine, assess and make a diagnosis on children and deal with parents - not nearly enough time.  Dr. Wainer is great, his staff are great, and I most highly recommend him!!! 	5	4	5	5 
18	-1	We have a a little girl who has not been diagnosed and was referred to Dr.Wainer.  He was quick to diagnose her, but he was wrong.  At this time I've chosen not to vaccinate her until I know what is going on with her.  Dr. Wainer has been very arrogant with me, telling me I'm following witchcraft and people's opinions.  He said if I did not get her vaccinated he will no longer provide service to me.  He told me it is his expectations that when he tells a patient what to do they need to do it because he is the educated professional.  He told me to come back in 6 months to have another fight with him and to go tell everyone how mean he is.  Wow!!  Good bye Dr. Wainer! Anyone who wants to research and think about procedures done to your child don't go to him.  He will make you feel like a terrible parent. 	2	1	1	1 
18	1	Dr. Wainer is not only knowledgeable; he is compassionate. I took my daughter in to him with ADHD diagnosed at 17; she was enthusiastic at first, and later sad and frustrated. He was caring, intelligent, informative and...amazingly, very gender aware. He recommended that we read studies done by two women on Girls and Women with ADHD. I ordered the book, and it was very interesting and helpful. Our expectations of girls and boys are different, and it makes sense that when girls have ADHD it affects their lives in different ways. She feels better as we continue to explore the book's insights. Dr. Wainer actully made her feel proud of the strengths of having an ADHD mind. It is really great to see someone in the right profession. Thanks so much Dr. Wainer. 	4	5	5	5 
18	1	My daughter has been  with Dr Wainer for 14 years; what a priviledge to have him on our side. He has helped us in so many ways,with the proper medications, school problems, home life ect. He will tell you the truth even if it is not what you want to hear. 	5	5	5	5 
18	1	I took my daughter to Dr Wainer and thought he was one of the best we have seen. My daughter is 4months old and is having some vision problems. Our family Dr said he thought she was fine but I went to see Dr Wainer for a second opinion and he caught the vision problem right away and knew it was Albinism most other Drs I have seen dont really even know what it is but Dr Wainer knew pretty much right away. I was pretty devestated but he made me feel so much better and had us in to the specialist in 3 days, even she was impressed with his knowledge! The staff was friendly but did take their time to respond to my emails. Overall I am super happy we have him to take care of our little girl! 	4	5	5	5 
18	-1	He was quicker to diagnose a problem with me than to offer help with our child.  He refused to forward us onto the appropriate specialist numerous time.  I found him to be very rude, beligerant and pushy every time we were there for an appointment.  The last straw was when our child's school (a school specializing in the field) was unable to work with the Doctor or get any information from him. 	5	3	1	2 
18	1	Dr Wainer has been great to us all frist time he seen out little girl and knew right away what was wrong with her he got us right in the ACH to have all the test done and boy  did he hit it on the nose we see him every 6 months and our little girl just love him and she listening to everything he had to say about her health and she remember she tell everyone what he say and he help me accept that l was doing things right and always ask me how it's going for me and hubby too he's a caring person and his staff great always have time for a hello to all glad family doctor got us with him for our little one. Have nothing but the best to say about Dr Wainer 	5	4	5	5 
18	0	At first I thought Dr. W was great, he found a problem with my daughter when she was an infant and appeared to be very knowledgeable and experienced.  But further visits for chronic ear infections left me feeling less than happy with him.  My daughter spent over a year fighting ear infections (6-18 months old) with antibiotics and he refused to give a referral to an ENT specialist as he felt she would &quot;outgrow&quot; the infections .  After I demanded a referral or get one elsewhere he finally wrote one up and I went to the ENT.  He had one look in her ears and was shocked at how much of a mess her ears were in, and told me that she was on the verge of permanent damage.  She was sent in for surgery/tubes 3 days later.  Her ears were a mess, it was affecting her speech and of course her hearing.  She never had an ear infection after that.  I never went back to Dr. W. 	3	3	3	3 
18	1	After a few months of waiting for an appointment I took in my son for an AD/HD re-evaluation. Dr. Wainer was very thorough in his assessment and diagnosis of my son, kind in his manner, and gave me very helpful information not only for here and now but what I can expect in years to come. I recommend him highly. 	2	4	5	5 
18	-1	We got referred to Dr Wainer through Developmental Clinic, for assessment for our daughter at the time she was 6 years old and displaying behaviors IE self injuries, ADHD etc..  He basic total us that it was all my fault as a mother. That's wasn't the point ..my point is that I wanted to get help for my child. Witch never happened. I found wainer to be rude and quick to judge. even though out side supports disagreed with him. I will never EVER recommend this Doctor to any family at all. 	1	5	1	1 
18	1	I took my daughter (age 9) to see Dr. Wainer regarding bedwetting and voiding issues, a very embarassing problem for my child.  He was sensitive and considerate and helped to make her as comfortable as possible.  I was very impressed by the care she was given and we have seen noticeable results under his care.  His clinic is always busy and the wait times can be frustrating but the quality of care is second to none.  His staff are very busy and do not have much time for idle chit chat but they are obviously very good at what they do, considering the time constraints and the sheer volume of patients they juggle. 	3	4	5	5 
18	1	Dr. Wainer has an incredible knowledge of disorders in children and the family dynamics. He carefully considers options and expresses them clearly to his patients. Your child's dynamic needs will continue to be followed carefully. You will be lucky to have him on your health care team. 	2	2	5	5 
18	1	Our child has ADHD. Having Dr. Wainer not give up until he helped us deal with the problem has saved my marrage and my mind. 	3	4	5	5 
18	1	My son has been a patient of Dr. Wainer's for 8 years now.  We may go up to 6 months between appointments at times, but Dr. Wainer has taken the time to get to know my son, his personality and interacts with him on a level that my son can appreciate and respect.  My son has several special needs issues, and he sees many specialists - but none of which have shown as much respect, care and concern for my son as Dr. Wainer has.  When we attend an appointment, Dr. Wainer also takes the time to see how the entire family unit is functioning and how my son is interacting with his peers and school staff.  I have seen several Pediatricians, and in my opinion - Dr. Wainer is the best so far. 	5	4	5	5 
18	1	We had issues and were very unsatisfied with our with our PREVIOUS Pediatrician and and we were refered to Dr.Wainer and what a difference..Right away we felt comfortable taking our boys..he is always reassuring and I never question(as I did the other) him when I leave I always feel comfortable with his advice and his medical decsions fro my boys.He always remebers and he is so gentle with my boys, and when we first saw him he knew all of my boys history and what both there issues were..he is amazing and I wish there were more pediatricians out there like him...I am so happy we FINALLY got into him after 5mos or so!! He is the best and that is what my boys deserve!! THE VERY BEST! 	5	4	5	5 
18	1	As a specialist, ie you don't see him very often, he totally remembers who you are and the history. He takes detailed notes and send one of the best reports to our family doctor he said he'd ever received. 	3	5	5	5 
18	1	Excellent Doctor! I feel very comfortable with him as my son's Pediatrician. He is very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. We are very fortunate to have him as our sons Dr. 		5	5	5 
18	1	I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Wainer. We were referred to him to have our son circumsized. Before the procedure he did an exam and found that there was something not right with his heart. He sent us directly to children's hospital where they flew our son to Edmonton the following morning for surgery. If it wasn't for him we may not have our little man. I never feel rushed when we visit, he takes as much time as needed with you. 		4	5	5 
18	1	He goes above and beyond with all his patients. It is nice to see a doctor who really cares as that is happening less and less these days. 		4	5	5 
18	-1	We were referred to Dr.Wainer through our family physician for our then 12 month old daughter who displayed autistic tendancies,Dr.Wainer told me she had global developmental delay,pretty general.On our 2nd visit I left in tears as he said it was my fault she was this way and that I was underfeeding her as she was only at the 50th percentile on the growth chart but my other 2 daughters and myself were all small at birth up until about 2 yrs of age and a Dr should know that the size of the mother at birth greatly affects the size of the child,anyway he sent us to see the infant team at ACH and all 5 members plus the phycologist sent letters to Dr.Wainer saying this child is displaying all the symptoms of Autism.So I went back again to Wainer and still he refused to give me a firm diagnosis of any sort thereby preventing me from getting any help such as speech therapy or physical therapy,as she is still not speaking and is behind in motor skills I have decided to stop seeing him anymore! 		1	2	2 
18	1	My daughter has just started seeing Dr. Wainer. We had a 6 month wait to get into any ped. I was so impressed at the time he spent with us and how quickly he picked up on my daughter personality and issues. I am thrilled he is who we got sent to. 		3	5	5 
18	1	Dr. Wainer has been our ped since 1996 and we think he's an absolutely amazing doctor who has always made himself available and approachable (a rare find these days). 		4	5	5 
18	1	I have adopted 4 cocanine addicted childern Dr. Wainer has been a great source of info and always has time to address any concerns. He is an asset to our city. 		5	5	5 
18	1	Dr. Wainer was born to take care of children, he is simply amazing and extremely knowledgeable in his field and if you are lucky enough to have him as your childs doctor he will take excellent care of your child and he will ease your mind of any concerns and worries. He is very patient, compassionate and understanding. He truly cares about you and your child. 		5	5	5 
19	1	I have been seeing dr.wardell for four months now for crps in my right shoulder him and his team are the best i have ever encountered to this day.i have been suffering with this disease for over a year now.it took a while to get in to see him but it was well worth the wait.dr.wardell pinpointed my problem immediately he new what to do and we have not looked back since.i virtually have no pain any more.THIS DOCTOR AND HIS TEAM ARE THE BEST IN THERE FIELD.I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. 	 2/11/12	5	5	5
19	1	Dr. Wardell and Connie are amazing human beings. Dr. Wardell helped me understand WHAT was wrong with me when no one else I seen even bothered. The caring ALONE and actually getting a diagnosis is a great help in being able to move forward with healing. I enjoy going to the Wardells and trust that I will get the help I need there. 	5	4	5	5 
19	1	Dr.Wardell is the most amazing doctor I have ever seen. He is a blessing from God as far as I am concerned. I am so sad that he is having to close his pain clinic due to lack of funding from the goverment. They should be ashamed of themselves for this as so many people will end up suffering due to this! 	4	5	5	5 
19	1	Dr. Wardell is a great Dr. He has helped my father like no other. My dad has been in chronic pain(back pain) for years. He has had a spinal fusion, along with a few other surgeries. My father has 2 titanium rods in his back, and could never get any kind of relief until he met Dr. Wardell. He now goes to see him, or one of the girls that work there, once a week for injections in his back. My dad says he is a miracle worker, and has since refered myself to see him. I have lived with chronic migranes foy 10 years. No other Dr. in town understood why, then he diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and it all made sence where this pain was coming from. I am glad he will be there to help me, like he did my dad. 	5	5	5	5 
19	1	When I read the 2008 comment, I thought this woman is my twin, but it was me.  I have been with Dr Wardell for a couple of years and my quality of life continues to improve.the meds I take are strong and I have resigned myself to taking them everyday.The alternative is so frightening, I am getting progessively worse as I age, but thanks to my &quot;**** Angel&quot;, I LIVE!  If your whacked out on meds your taking too much, it's that simple. Take enough to help. The compassion he and his wife have for patients cannot be duplicated. Other MD's and the new one's coming up, should be schooled in the Wardell School of  Pain Management and Compassion.  Some need a course &quot;how to be human&quot;as a pre-requisite to learning at the feet of the master.My family, my friends and all who know me put my &quot;life&freedom;&quot; and positive life square on his shoulders and thank him everyday!!!!! 	 6/16/09	5	5	5
19	1	THis doctor saved my life, he listens, and there was a day when I was bleeding, and may have died, he did what ever he had to do to get me seen. A Gyne saw me did a procedure that literally saved my life. He actually cares and doesnt look down at you because you need opiods for pain control in order to live some kind of life. This man is wonderful 	5	5	5	5 
19	1	ty dr wardell you and your staff are the best. you helped my daughter when no one else could. she suffered for years with migraines and you diagnosed her as having fybromialga. medicine you prescribed has helped and she has not had a headache for a week now,i have not seen her this happy in a long time ty so much you are the greatest. 	5	5	5	5 
19	1	Dr Wardell is an EXCELLENT doctor!He takes the time to listen to everything I say,he's never in a rush.Unlike some doctors,he KNOWS that chronic pain & depression are closely linked & treats you accordingly.I LOL at the un-informed person that commented on the fact that he prescribes the same pain meds to non-cancer patients. Helloooo the meds don't know what the source of the pain is, they're taken to relieve pain regardless of the cause LOL! He's always on time for my app'ts,perhaps because his focus is on giving his patients adequate time to address ALL of their concerns & is NOT there to try to make the extra $$ by squeezing in more patients.He doesn't overbook himself to the point of burnout therefore, visits are NEVER rushed.How many local dr's voluntarily take time to go to seminars, conventions etc. to stay fully informed of the newest treatments or techniques&#63;That in itself tells me that his focus is to help his patients by staying informed & is NOT just there for the buck. 	5	5	5	5 
19	1	Wonderful doc. Takes time to listen. Yes mentions pain killers but respects your right not to want to take them. Offers only a one or two day trial usage. When I refused some meds he advized he was fine with that. He incorporates family, listens, knows your financial, emotional and physical needs if you let him. He is not afraid to get you help or send you in the right direction. I'd still be treated with the next week, next week, next week therory and getting NO where. He gives me hope and strength. Feel more doctors should listen like he does! He is tops in my book. 	5	4	5	5 
19	1	Dr. Wardell is the ONLY doctor who has had the courage and knowledge to help me with severe pain.  I was diagnosed with osteoporosis 5 years ago and have suffered numerous fractures and developed fybromyalgia.  I am only 49 years old have 110 year old bones that snap like kindling.  Although I have severe pain, my brain still works and without him, I would have committed suicide stuck to my bed or couch.  I can socialize and do reception work to feel functional and not a waste of skin.  I have also lost two inches in height from compression fractures.  I also do pain management by self-hypnosis. and water massage for the muscle.  THANK YOU Guardian Angel Wardell, there will be a special place for you in heaven 	5	5	5	5 
19	1	When i frist met Dr Wardell i,was in the hospital. Du,to chorinic back pain. Pepole can say what they whant abount him. This man Dr Wardell saved, my life plus my marriage.I&quot;v,had 3 back surgers&quot;s the 3 one beening a spinal fuezen. You try to sleep with 2hr&quot;s to 3hr&quot;s everynight.Like i said this man is the best he sit&quot;s and listen to what you have to say. THANK YOU FOR EVERY THING YOU HAVE DONE FORE ME @ MY FAMILY . P.S. YOU KNOWN WHO BIG GUY. Insurance:Blue Cross / Blue Shield	5	5	5	5 
19	-1	Will not return to this Doctor. I don't believe a person should be jammed full of pain killers and spaced out all the time.  I think Doctors like this keep Detox Centre's busy. Have a referal to the new pain management doctor. 	1	1	1	1 
19	1	Dr.Wardell...is very kind and understanding, He understands taht people want to stay fit, young adn not inpain if it can be helped with or without medicine..He helped me find a way to see him as my family Dr. would not give me a referal,so with the help adn a few suggestions..I managed to get an appt. and I am so very glad that I did, as he was able to tell me what the problem was and nobody up until this point has been able to find a problem..Many thanks to this kind man, I will be a returning patient...Also, his staff is very kind.. 	5	4	5	5 
19	-1	This doctor puts the majority of his patients on pain meds prescribed for cancer patients, the problem with this is it's not cancer they are dealing with,, not even close. I suggest going to see the new pain management doctor in the city. 		4	1	3 
19	1	Amazing Dr, great bed side manner. Very caring, no pt. of Dr Wardell's suffers from pain, he is very humaine. He works along side his wife who is also, so nice and knowldgeable. 		5	5	5 
19	1	We would not know where we would be without Dr. Wardell. He has helped my Dad like no Doctor could. He cares...knows what he is doing and has kept in touch with us constantly. I would call him regarding my fathers ups and downs and he would always clal me back if he was busy. We are firing my Dad's family physician and my Father only wants Doctor Wardell to see to his needs while he is in Palliative Care. I would recommend Dr. Wardell to all my friends and thank him a hundred times over. Thank you Dr. Wardell for all your help and may God Bless you always! 		5	5	5 
19	1	He is two in a million! When my husband was dying of cancer he came into our home, always made sure his pain was under control, spent time with him and our family. He never rushed and answered all our questions. He helped us through some very difficult days. 		5	5	5 
19	1	AWESOME! helpful,truthfull,knowledgable, will go out of his way for you, most of all he will listen to what you have to say and treat you like an equal, smart man 		5	5	5 
19	1	I have had persistent problems with no real answers until I seen Dr. Wardell, he is very thorough and was able to explain my condition better than any of the other specialists I had been to see. Dr. Wardell also re-assured me that he could help with my injury, he even attended his office on a holiday with his wife Connie to give me the help I needed, he is very friendly shows genuine concern for my problem, besides giving me answers and solutions he also gave me future options in case these do not work for me. 		4	5	5 
19	-1	this doctor picks and chooses who he treats, not sure why, but I was denied his service. 		1	1	1 
19	-1	My mother was refered to the doctor for pain management and was given 5 different perscriptions at once several being narcotics. After a couple of days she started forgetting stuff and was always tired. She went back to see the doctor and he increased the dosages. In the next couple of days she could not stay awake started to slur her words and then feinted several times. We then rushed her to the hospital where she spent the next week detoxing. the ER doctors told us that if she would have stayed on that medication and dosages it could have killed her. They also told us that the meds she was put on were for terminal cancer patients. She went to see him for arthritis pain. He obviously did not read her file or listen to her symptoms. 		3	1	1 
19	1	Was the only doctor who ever listened and helped me and he was so helpful and he spent a long time listening to me before a diagnoses was made. His wife also works with him. they are both the best in the world. 		5	5	5 
20	-1	I seen this doctor when he worked in the medicenter  just off heritage. I went in thinking I was pregnant, and wanted a fix to confirm. He said I wasn't, i just having some abdominal problems. He gave me a prescription for some meds and ordered blood work &quot; just to show me I'm wrong and over react to stuff&quot;. The clinic phoned me 3 days later telling me to immediately get off the prescription he gave me because as it turns out I was pregnant and the RX could harm the fetus. Then years later I went into the southtrail medicenter because my daughter was going into anaphylaxis  shock from peanuts, and his nurse turned us away because the doctor was eating his lunch. My 3 year old daughter was swelling up infront of them, he peeked his head out at me yelling, and went right back into his office for lunch. That's twice he harmed my daughters life and well being. 	3	1	1	1 
20	1	I have been reading the whinney complaints. This doctor may not have the best bed side manner but he has helped thousands of people every year for over 30 years. That is most likely a lot more than any person writing the complaint. Why do most whinny people usually comlain and have nothing good to say. Keep it up and no doctor will ever want to help you. 	5	5	5	5 
20	-1	This doctor is a complete moron.  He should never be able to practice medicine in Canada.  Wasting our dollars and a detriment to our health care system. He knows absolutely nothing. 	1	1	1	1 
20	-1	Went in for what I thought was a bladder infection. He gave me antibiotics for a week. Went back the next week because the symptoms still existed. All my tests came back clear, he didn't have a clue....just shrugged his shoulders to say he has no idea. Didn't order any more tests, just said that its common in men...it will go away. He's the walk-in doctor at South Trail Medicentre on 130th Ave. 	2	1	1	1 
20	-1	I had been coughing for approximately two weeks, had low energy, felt pressure/pain in my chest.  One night I started coughing up blood.  The next day since I couldn't get into my family doctor, I decided to go to the Southtrail Crossing Medicentre.  I saw Dr. Wankowicz.  I informed him of my symptoms, and he told me that there was no way I was coughing up blood, and that I had had a nose bleed.  After informing him that I did not have a nose bleed, he laughed at me and told me that the inside of my nose is red, puffy and watery, my chest was clear, and that my tonsils were slightly swollen.  When I informed him that I had a tonsilectomy 17 years ago, he again laughed and tried to convince me that I still have my tonsils.  This man should not be allow to practise medicine not only in Canada but anywhere in the world.  He is a horrible doctor who has terrible bedside manner.  I ended up getting into my family doctor the next day, and an x-ray was ordered. 	1	1	1	1 
20	-1	This man is a quack, do not have him as your family doctor. He is in the S.Trail medicenter 130ave se. He was very rude once my wife told him she already had a doctor. She suffered from a sinus infection and when she told him that he said&quot; the only way you can detect a sinus infection is with a cat scan&quot;. He would not prescribe an antibiotic  only nasonex. After finally get into her regular doctor 2 weeks later she was diagnosed with a sinus infection. This man should not practice medicine in Canada!!!!! 	3	1	1	1 
21	1	Dr. Watson has been my dentist for many years.  Each appointment is a pleasure as I am treated with genuine care and respect.  He and his team take time to fully explain the various options for my dental care and encourage me to ask questions.  I appreciate the high level of care Dr. Watson demonstrates in every procedure.  He is very knowledgeable and I believe he always gives me the best advise. 	5	5	5	2 
21	1	This is the best dentist in town. had to see him as an emerg patient  was in right away and he discused what was goin on and many differnt options and left the &quot;big &quot; desisions up to me after explaining everything. was not pushy at all very understanding and took the time to refer me to a specialist for my jaw.. Thanks Dr W 	5	5	5	5 
21	-1	I switched dentists quickly after seeing Dr Watson and found out after that the treatment that he recommended for me was way too frequent and some of it absolutely unnecessary.  I do not recommend him at all. 	1	2	1	1 
21	0	I would not recommend this dentist.  He is arrogant. For me also he has insisted on treatment that was too aggressive and too frequent.  I went to another dentist and have been much happier with him. 	3	4	3	3 
21	1	Love'em, love'em, love'em.  Great staff, and wonderful with my kids.  Gives a GREAT needle (and I HATE needles!)  Always listens to my concerns and takes the time to talk to me.  Would recommend him to anyone looking for a great dentist! 	4	5	5	5 
21	-1	He has been saying I am &quot;starting to get a cavity&quot; for years, however, when I went to another dentist in town they didn't even notice it.  He is money hungry and kind of arrogant.  Needless to say, I have switched dentists. 	4	3	1	3 
21	1	Dr. Watson is a very good dentist.  I don't hate dentists but I do HATE needles!  However I was unaware that he even pricked me.  Not only is he gentle but he allows the area to freeze before inserting the needle again.  This is an extremely important requirement in a dentist, in my eyes!   Above all he will respect a patient's decisions even if he doesn't agree with it, although just to warn he can be condescending at times.  However, if you very respectfully state your reasons for choosing a different path than he recommends, he will respond in like and treat your decision with respect.  At least he did with me.  If your looking for a dentist in Wainwright, give Dr. Watson a call. 	5	5	4	5 
21	1	Dr Watson is the far best of any of the dentists in town. He made me quite comfortable and always reassured me of any new problems Imay of had. I would recommmend this Dr to almost anyone who needs the BEST in wainwright. 	4	5	5	2 
21	1	I love Dr Watson! He has been our family dentist for years. My children love him, and his staff. I love how he takes the time to explain things to us, and give me options for treatment. He is never pushy. He’s funny and gentle, and always professional. His staff are great, and so nice to our kids. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. 	5	5	5	5 
21	1	I have a huge fear of the dentist after one visit in my childhood, and Dr. Watson is very accomadating to this fear and me. He is always careful to explain what he is doing and take his time to make sure that I am doing alright. I appreciate this and the time that he spends with me! 		4	5	5 
21	1	I HATE Dentists, and I LOVED Dr. Watson. Not only was I able to get an appointment quickly(after moving from another province), he gave me 3 different options in regards to the dental work I needed, including one that wouls cost me next to nothing. He was kind, both to me and to his staff, and he stayed late to accomodate me. I will defineatly recommend him to anyone that asks. 		4	5	4 
21	-1	I have never had a pleasant experience either at his office or out of the workplace. He is a know-it-all, questions others judgement and work (in fields he knows nothing about!!) I will never recommend Dr Watson to anyone! 		2	2	1 
22	1	Brought my parents in to see Dr. Wang because he's able to speak mandarin. It's a relief to find a doctor that is able to explain in detailed information in a language that my parents were only able to understand. *Thumbs up!* 	4	5	5	5 
23	1	dr wandler is awesome thank you for all you did for my back 	5	5	5	5 
23	1	what a fantastic doctor and staff, would recommend him to ANYONE and have!! helps with ANY problems i have had including tmj, carpel tunnel, knee, hip and shoulder problems and numerous other things that went wrong during my pregnancy, cant thank him enough f0r what he does, the day he retires will be a sad one! 	5	5	5	5 
23	1	Dr. Wandler is a very personable person who is thoughtful and concientiuos of your problems, no matter how big or small. Both my daughter and I go to him and would recommend him to anyone. I had a severe issue with TMJ (jaw problem) and he has improved my way of life with the work he has done. Thanks DR. W 	5	4	5	5 
23	1	Dr Wandler is fantastic!  My whole family sees him as do our friends and neighbors.  Who needs a TMJ specialist when theres Dr W&#63; He knows what he is doing and I would recommend him again and again. 	4	4	5	5 
24	1	On Dec.16,2011 my daughter came into urgent care in the south with very serious illness, Dr. Tyson Warner VERY calmly took control of a paniced situation that resulted in the saving of my daughters life! I cant thank him enough for his professionalism............Thank You 	5	5	5	5 
24	1	Seen at South Calgary Urgent Care (not an office).  Good Dr. and staff 	5	4	5	5 
24	1	excellent dr, I worked with him as a colleague. Extremely good knowledge and always with excellent bedside manner. 	4	4	5	5 
24	1	Dr. Warner is a fantastic doctor--very helpful, takes time to listen to concerns, and offers feedback and advice. I believe he is likely the best doctor I've ever seen. 	5	5	5	5 
24	1	Dr. Warner was very helpfull with thorough answers to questions & showed true concern.I saw him at the South Calgary Urgent Care Centre, he has a very good bed side mannor. I would reccomend him to anyone. 		5	5	5 
25	1	Dr.War is a great doctor very easy to talk to you,but i am on the edge of the cliff and ready to commit suicide and i need her help right on.so please help me.thankyou lisa teixeira i really do need your help right away this time it came on very first so please me i beg you too. 	5	5	5	5 
25	1	Dr. War is the best Psychiatrist I found in Edmonton.I found her to be highly knowledge in her field, helpful in helping you with your issues &amp; very approachable almost like talking to friend approach...  I have problems with  my memory and keeping appointments Dr. War and her Staff have been very accommodating to my needs &amp; not judged me in the process...  Very Caring &amp; Follow up with Pharmacy as well... A+++ 	4	5	5	5 
25	1	Dr. War is knowledgeable, resourceful, and very helpful.  I can enthusiastically endorse her as a fine psychiatrist. 	5	5	5	5 
25	1	Dr War is a great doctor ,I had to move out of Alberta To a province called New Brunswick, I can not even come close to finding a doctor that would even come close to Dr War. Miss you Dr War. 	5	5	5	5 
26	1	A very good gifted Dr. Helful and friendly with a very pleasant spirit. 	5	5	5	5 
26	1	Outstanding... far above average.. extended my fathers life by several months when the Cancer center sent him home to die! 	5	4	5	5 
26	-1	 	4	5	1	1 
26	-1	I would caution people with a serious medical condition to look elsewhere for medical help. Dr.  I've been going to him for years with several health concerns. The health concerns, turns out, are all related and he was unable to diagnose these. He was also unwilling to send me for further tests. My conclusion was that he did not believe that I felt poorly. He seemed upset that I had done some research about what I thought might be wrong with me. I had hoped he would send me to an endocronologist but he decided there was nothing wrong with me.  I've found a new doctor and have learned that my issues are serious. The irony is that I've known this for a long time but couldn't convince Dr. Warness (he's not open to feedback either). Therein lies the story. He doesn't believe his patience and doesn't advocate on their behalf. It's best to look for someone who is able to keep up to date with recent medical research and who is willing to advocate on your behalf. 	4	4	2	1 
26	-1	I would caution people with serious illnesses to find another doctor. Dr. Warness doesn't take grievances or complaints seriously and is not open to feedback regarding his services.  I have gone for years to him trying to resolve some health concerns. I was told that there was nothing wrong with me and to take some herbs and come back in a few months. After years of taking herbs and coming back, I felt worse than ever. Turns out Dr. Warness was very wrong about my health being fine. There is a lot wrong with me and it's serious. I found a new doctor and am starting to feel better. I hesitate to discredit his practice but I'm concerned that he is more interested in selling his line of herbal products/remedies/shots, promoting his line of alternative therapies and so on. And, not really concerned about finding appropriate help for your illness. 	4	3	2	2 
26	1	Amazing Doctor, Very knowledgeable and helpful. Also very kind and considerate. I am blessed to have him as my Doctor. The staff is wonderful!!!Keep up the great work. 	5	5	5	5 
26	1	the best...an absolute &quot;Life Saver&quot; helped us through injury and Cancer...God Bless him. 	5	4	2	5 
26	1	balanced approach using both traditional and naturopathic medicine MD/ND 	5	4	4	4 
26	1	Excellent Doctor. Sometimes a wait to see him, but worth it if you want a natural health oriented doctor paid for by alberta health care. Excellent with children. Home birth friendly. Pro breastfeeding! My doctor my whole life til I moved away!! 	4	5	5	5 
26	1	It is refreshing to find a doctor who has a respect for alternative medicine.  Dr. Warness was a God-send when I was battling breast cancer and decided to use alternative therapies.  It meant a lot to have a medical doctor who was not judgemental of me for that choice. 	5	4	5	5 
26	-1	something would have been said if there was something nice to say 	2	2	1	2 
26	-1	Not very helpful. He doesn't exaplin anything and doesn't listen. 	3	3	1	2 
26	1	Combo of GP that leans towards natural medicine is ideal! Not many out there. 	5	3	4	5 
26	1	Very friendly and reassuring. 		5	4	4 
27	0	Nice Dentist, but his prices are way over what Insurance Company's will pay. Also, the staff always try and sell you something. 	5	4	3	3 
27	1	Dr. Wallace took over for my previous Dentist and is new in our North Calgary Office. During my first appointment with him, we discussed some headaches I was having and some tension in my jaw. He helped me relieve some tension during my check-up and discussed solutions for future issues I may have. He was very knowledgeable about the different mouth guards and took the time to explain the pros and cons as well as pricing and insurance coverage.  I am happy that I ended up with his as our new Doctor. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a new dentist. 	5	5	5	5 
27	1	Excellent dentist. Very gentle, warm environment. Beautiful SW Calgary office. No concerns. 	5	5	5	5 
27	1	FANTASTIC!! Dr. Wallace is a very kind, gentle and understanding dentist.  We have been seeing him for over 2 years now, and never any complaints. Great office staff, friendly and fantastic to deal with.  Highly recommended. 	5	5	5	5 
27	1	Dr.Wallace is outstanding, very patient, helpful, he informed me of all my options  at my exam. When I got the fillings done he was gentle and everyone  at the office made me feel comfortable and at ease. 	5	5	5	5 
28	1	dr way saved my life! After I was rudely turned away from another surgeon who obviously didn't know how to diagnose gallbladder disease, Dr way noticed my liver was failing as a result and removed my gallbladder stat. He is kind, wonderful and very intelligent, I  recommend him to anyone needing surgeon. I loved his staff too, they were so concerned about me after my surgery as so was Dr way! I am so grateful! 	5	5	5	5 
28	1	He was a great Doctor to deal with. Fixed my incisional hernia. Great bedside manner. I would recomend him to anyone. Has a great sense of humor. Has always run ontime. Staff are always nice and helpful. 	5	5	5	5 
28	1	Dr. Way seems like a nice enough doctor/surgeon. He is very friendly and kind. Unfortunately for me he was able to figure out what was ailing me and referred me elsewhere. Signs in the office reflect that you might have a long wait because of emergencies and such. At least he acknowledges that you may have a wait ahead of you. That tells me that he cares - he's not just a doctor who would  rush you through. I would see him again. 	5	1	4	4 
28	1	I had Colorect Cancer, and Dr Way was able to remove all the affected tissue. He has superior bedside skills , and the staff are great too. 	5	5	5	5 
28	1	Dr Way is as good as it gets in my book.  Did a hernia (inguinal), no bruising, 1 day on painkillers... nice guy...seriously (no I'm not related...ha ha) 	5	5	5	5 
28	1	Excellent surgeon. Would recommend him anytime to anyone. He is personable and cares. His staff are helpful and do not rush you. 	5	5	5	5 
28	1	Saw in Emerg for surgery with follow-up.Seemed competent and interested. Modern; all records computerized. Staff was good. 	 2/8/10	5	4	5
28	1	Hernia operation went well!  Good sense of humor and bedside manner.  Pleasure to have him do my Surgery. 	4	4	5	5 
28	1	Dr. Way was the best surgeon I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. The surgery he performed literally saved my life and saved me from ever having to have another surgery. I can't tell you how much easier he made my diagnosis. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!! 	5	4	5	5 
28	0	I have been to see him on three occassions.  All three times I waited well over 1 hour past my appointment time.  On my last visit I waited almost 2 hours beyond the appointment time.  The reason I was given for the delay ... so many people need to see a surgeon and he can't refuse them.  Nice guys perhaps but my advise is show up at least an hour late and save yourself the wait! 	2	1	3	3 
28	1	Saved my life. Sent me to 'Wound Management Clinic' for post-surgery woundcare and that saved a lot of his time. Answered my afterhours phonepage himself in a friendly way. Answered questions, did followup. not always ontime, but that is because he cares and is extremely busy = understandable. 	5	4	5	4 
28	-1	I found him to be very nice but not very knowledgeable in what was wrong with me. I have had 3 different surgeries from him in the last 2 years and my wound is still not healed. He wanted to try another experimental surgery on me and I said no way. Yes he cares and yes he is very nice but those things do not fix problems. 	3	3	2	2 
28	0	Was told not to come back after the follow up visit after surgery. Was put off by staff when calling with concerns that the incision had not healed after 12 weeks. 		3	3	3 
28	1	Fantastic doctor! I owe my life to him. He was gentle, polite, and performed all the surgeries necessary to save my life. Best doctor in Calgary, and kept up with me even after eight months had passed. A truly wonderful man. 		5	5	5 
28	1	hard working ,caring and professional human being, a pleasure to have been his patientand met his acquaintance 		5	5	5 
28	1	Dr. Way is a very kind, to the point doctor. He answered all my questions before and after my surgery. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good surgeon. 	 4/3/07		5	4
29	1	Dr. Wacko is great.  He's been my doctor since 2005 and I feel very lucky to have found him.  He doesn't do any work that's not necessary and his fees are very reasonable.  Also, he's always been able to find time to see when  there was an emergency.  Nothing fancy about his office, just nice people and good dentistry! 	5	5	5	5 
29	1	My family and I have been a patients of Dr. Wacko for many years and I have nothing bu the highest respect and recommendation for Peter and all of his staff.  I have never had a better experience at a dentist anywhere.  He was my dentist in Edmonton over 20 years ago and then we moved all over the country for a few years.  When we moved to Calgary ten years ago and I found out he had also moved here, I was thrilled to finally have my favorite dentist again.  Great with kids too! 	5	5	5	5 
29	1	Dr. Wacko and the staff are great and really know how to make a patient feel at ease. 	5	5	5	5 
29	1	I have been seeing this dentist for around 20 years.  He is very personable and makes you feel comfortable.  I used to be terrified of going to the dentist before I started going to see Dr. Wacko, not anymore. 	5	5	5	5 
29	1	I have been going to Dr. Wacko for years and have had nothing but good experiences. Dr. Wacko is a very very good dentist, does not pressure you to do work that you don't need to get done, he is very reasonably priced and very knowledeable. Since I started going to Dr. Wacko, I actually don't mind going to the dentist! 	5	5	5	5 
30	1	Dr. Warnica was my mothers Dr. for 37 years, she has since passed away this year, and without him she probably wouldn't of been with us for this long. He is the most kind and gentle Dr. a patient could have, the best as far as our family is concerned. 	5	5	5	5 
30	1	Once again Dr. Warnica has gotten my sister in for tests in a timely manner...he has monitored her for 20 years &amp; seems to know when she needs treating... I thank him for his caring manner...I believe because of him she is still with us... I am so grateful.... 	5	5	5	5 
30	1	Dr. Warnica is a very good doctor.  He cares about his patients. 	5	5	5	5 
30	1	Mr Warnica is a caring,helpful and knowledgeable doctor to be looking after your 'cardio' need. I am very happy to be under his care and guidance with my present cardio condition.Gratefull to have him as my cadiologist! 	 6/12/07		5	5
30	1	Dr. Warnica has treated me for over 5 years and has consistently been knowledgeable and professional. I feel he has a sincere concern over my condition. He has a great attitude and has the respect of his colleagues. 		5	5	5 
30	1	Dr. Warnica has been treating my sister for many years.He has shown great compassion & concern for her well being over the 15 years she has been in his care. We are so grateful that he has been there for her when needed. 		5	5	5 
30	1	Dr. Warnica is a excellent cardio. Dr. He is very comforting and is very knowlegeable. 		4	5	5 
31	1	Excellent dentist. Very punctual, has never been overbooked or rushed in my experience. Very thorough, finishing the cleaning process himself before the exam. Doesn't try to upsell anything that isn't required, and explains each procedure along the way. Calm and comforting, exceptional bedside manner. Wonderful staff and facility. 	5	5	5	5 
31	1	My husband has been seeing him for years so I went to see him an was so impressed with everything about him that it's now 10 years later and counting.  The best dentist I have ever been to. 	5	5	5	5 
31	1	Dr. Watamaniuk is the best dentist I have visited. He is extremely skilled and patient during every step of the procedure. Once he fixes a tooth it stays fixed! The fact that you will have an amazing tooth when he is done is of course the main thing, but he also takes time to explain exactly what needs to be done, and he comes out with you to the receptionist to see you off! 	5	5	5	5 
31	1	Dr. Watamaniuk is one of the most punctual, friendly, intelligent dentist I've met who puts his patients first. We have been seeing him for 15 years and the results are always spectacular. I highly recommend him as a family doctor. We enjoy the company of his presence and his staff. The office is very clean and has a comforting factor. 	5	5	5	5 
31	1	My Husband and I have been seeing Wes for over 20 years.  Even after moving away from the city, we travel 5 hours to see him for our annual dental requirements. He has worked with us on some very difficult problems over the years and has been very detailed and professional in our experience. He has also been able to accommodate us on short notice, and has even worked through his lunch hour to do so.  We highly recommend Dr. Watamaniuk. 	5	5	5	5 
31	1	My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Watamaniuk for a couple of years and we're very happy. He's very knowledgeable and even fixed a few things that weren't done right by my previous dentist. He always explains what he's doing and why. Sometimes the appointments run a little behind but maybe unexpected things come up in previous appts which set him back. 	5	4	5	5 
31	1	Dr Watamaniuk is very professional, always willing to explain why he is doing what he is doing, and seems to treat patients with respect.  Manually, very careful and skilled and has never caused me any pain during my visits. 	4	5	5	5 
31	1	My family and I have been going to Dr Watamaniuk for over 15 years.  He is a terrific dentist, great with the kids too.  He really knows his stuff and is professional in every sense of the word. 	5	5	5	5 
31	1	Great dentist. I trust him and would definetly recommend him to others. Also, his support staff are friendly and professional. 	5	4	5	5 
31	1	Have been seeing Wes for over 20 years - he is a great dentist and really cares. 	5	4	5	4 
32	1	This dentist did a good job, descaling my teeth quite thoroughly and I appreciate her advice about care for my infant son's mouth 	3	5	4	4 
32	1	Dr Wachowska is my dentist for 15 years. I always received her best professional services. 	5	5	5	5 
32	1	Brilliant and caring dentist that really put herself ahead of her patients. Dr. Wachowska listens and provides excellent treatment for my whole family. Insurance:Blue Cross / Blue Shield		5	5	5 
32	-1	She Straggled with my wisdom toot for 3 hrs. At the end she broke it. She sent me to University Hospital bleeding and in state in shock on my own not taking any responsibility. At UofA doctor performed 2 hr. surgeries. Her action in my opinion was one the most unprofessional and selfish actions I have ever experienced. 		3	1	1 
33	1	The best Dr you will ever have. Very attentive, caring, and knowledgeable. 	5	5	5	5 
33	1	Absolutely the best doctor of any kind that I have ever had. We need more like him! 	5	5	5	5 
33	1	I found him to be attentive and supportive to my concerns. He was wonderful, smart and very kind. 	5	5	5	5 
33	1	He is the most wonderful doctor and excellent surgeon I’ve ever met with. He is very caring and knowleageble, always answered my question and treated me with great respect. His staff is amazing. 	5	5	5	5 
33	1	Dr. Walters is first, and foremost, very educated/knowledgable/informed and has great helpings of kindness, concern and patience. He is extremely personable, approachable, efficient and diligent, whether it's going over procedure, diagnoses, expectations and/or options.  His staff, Cindy & Debbie, are equally helpful & friendly while maintaining professionalism.  The office is always clean, bright & never crowded.  You are not kept waiting for very long. I could only wish all staff and offices run as efficiently as his & that all doctors were up to his calibre. 	5	5	5	5 
33	1	Dr. Walters likely saved my life by his quick and prompt diagnosis and subsequent fast track to a surgeon.  I cannot give enough credit to this fine doctor...he is a caring, thorough, knowledgeable professional.  His administrative assistant, Cindy deserves accolades as well. 	5	5	5	5 
33	1	I consider myself fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Walters.  He is an intelligent, caring and kind person.  Attributes that make for a very good Physician.  There is not compromise that a patient needs to make, he has it all!  Your staff is amazing too.  If you read these THANKS! 	5	5	5	5 
33	1	Dr. Walters is a credit to his profession. He is very thorough, and takes the time to gather information and provide explanations. He is also very prompt in informing and interpreting you of test results. His administrative assistant is also very efficient and helpful 	5	5	5	5 
33	1	Watch this fine Doctor surface to be the very BEST in his Specialized field. He is a Model Physician. I was fortunate enough to be referred to him. 		5	5	5 
33	1	Takes the time to listen to you and really shows genuine concern. 		5	5	5 
33	1	He takes his time to explain exactly what you will have done to you at the hospital so there are no surprises. He does his work very well and with as little discomfort to you as possible. I would recommend this doctor to others. 		5	5	5 
34	-1	I sincerely wish I would have searched the internet before going to this &quot;doctor&quot;.  He started extracting 2 teeth.  It was obvious the freezing was sufficient.  He told me that was all he could do.  He continued on....drilling into one of the teeth he was going to extract ~ the pain was ridiculous.  The he tried to pull it ~ I couldn't manage the pain.  He stitched it up and said he couldn't do it and I'd have to come back and be put out to get it done.  Not likely in that office.  I've had other teeth extracted with a very knowledgeable kind oral surgeon that unfortunately has retired and I never had any problems with the freezing. The procedures went quickly, efficiently and I had little to no after pain and no swelling. I am now sitting with a swollen face, terrible pain and infection as I wait in line at another oral surgeon's office.  This man should not be practising!! 	 7/27/11	3	5	1
34	1	I did a cosmetic procedure with Dr Wakeham. I found him experienced and skilled. I understand why people wrote that he looks arrogant. This is because he speaks little. In my case, he spent ten minutes with me and he explained everything and the best option for me. His assistant was nice and helpful from the beginning till the end. The procedure went fine. I didn't find the receptionist rude as some people mentioned. Overall, it was a nice experience and I recommmend Dr Wakeham. 	 6/14/11	5	5	5
34	1	I am going 5 across the board here! I was refered to Dr. Wakeham after my new Dentist made a huge boo boo. During my consult he and his staff were very nice to me and very knowledgeable about what needed to be done! I had to have 3 bone extractions. My Surgery Day was on Friday March 11th 2011 - I went in went to sleep came out and was treated very respecfuly and very gentley! He called to check up on me told me what to expct I called him and asked why I was itchy his staff said it was probably the antibiotics and put me on hold to double check with the Dr. He said it was and to stop taking them I did no more iching. My cheeks are still swollen and the very back of my toung is slightly numb but I feel good the T3's are great.I am on soup and mashed potatoes but Overall I am really happy! I was so scared! Thank you 	 3/15/11	5	5	5
34	0	A few days ago went in to see him for a consult, and left a list of questions for him or his nurse to fill out and email back to me when they could. I thought the consult went really well. Was quite surprised that his nurse Shelley emailed me to let me know that she had been instructed by Wakeham to not only not bother with the questions but to let me know that they are not interested in my business now or in the future because they had decided that I would not be satisfied with anything they did. I think that part is up to me! To say the least, I found this very odd. Patients should be able to ask questions and I'm sorry if Wakeham does not care to address the silly&#63; concerns of a first time patient. And yes, they also do all the procedures in the office. Should anything go wrong, I myself would feel better in a hospital. 	 1/5/11	4	4	2
34	0	The staff were rude, they kept repeating useless instructions to me like I was a 5 year old without the ability to comprehend. Wakeham wasn't much better, he wouldn't listen to my questions and also gave me the same treatment as his staff. I'm a university student and I have my own insurance so when I was holding onto the card, one of the staff said to me &quot;Don't touch that I need to use it&quot;. Incredibly rude considering it's my own insurance card and the staff somehow have this idea that I'm stupid. When my father went to complain about an incident where they skipped me because I was checking if the washroom was free since it was being cleaned, the staff went to Wakeham and he came out and started ganging up on me, making me very emotional and causing my asthma to act up as I went into the wisdom teeth surgery. 	1	1	2	3 
34	-1	i went to wakeham to have my wisdom teeth removed. It was a sketchy experience. It is 4 months later and i still have no feeling in my tounge. It's never a good sign when your surgeon looks like hannible lector. I wouldnt recommend him to anyone. Like i said, no feeling in my tounge. I really hope it isnt permanent. 	1	3	1	2 
34	1	I have been a patient of Dr. Wakeham and Shelley for about five years. I would never go to anyone else for any facial surgery. They have an awesome clinic and I have always been more than happy with the results of any procedure. They go above and beyond to look after their clients. They treat you like family and are always very kind and friendly and make you feel so comfortable. They are never rushed or too busy to take care of all your concerns. Dr. Wakeham and Shelley are just wonderful people. Because they are, they also have a wonderful staff of people working with them. They all, more than go the extra mile. If I could give you any advice, it would be this: Don't trust your face in the hands of any others than Dr. Wakeham, Shelley and their staff at the &quot;Institute of Facial Surgery.&quot; 	5	5	5	5 
34	-1	I went to Dr. Wakeham to surgically remove my impacted wisdom teeth. It was a very shady experience. When I woke up, they tried to tell me that my lip had been dry and cracked. When I was home and the anaesthetic had worn off, I realized that in fact my lip had been sliced open with a scalpel and cauterized to stop the bleeding. There was a huge clean sliced chunk missing and to this day, 5 years later; I still have an ugly scar. I regret everyday that I never sued him and his office. My lip will never be that same. 	3	3	1	1 
34	-1	After an excellent orthodontic experience with another Dr., we took my daughter to Dr. Wakeham to have her wisdom teeth extracted. She was out of commission for a solid week, and after 18 months, her chin is still numb. Every time we called the office about her numb chin, their response was wait another 6 months. There is nothing sadder than putting one's child in this type of situation. Yes, perhaps accidents happen, but after reading feedback from other patients, and additional feedback on the net, I feel terrible for what happened to my daughter. The nerve damage is something she will have for the rest of her life, and the guilt, for the rest of ours. We should have done our research on the net ahead of time. A hard lesson to learn. 	3	3	2	2 
34	-1	I had a filler done on my nasolabial, he made bumps on them, poor job I would never recommend anybody. The staff is very rude all of them are snotty including Dr.Wakeham 	1	1	1	1 
34	1	I went in to to get my wisdom teeth taken out a little under a year ago.  Hearing from a lot of people, and seeing a lot of friends that had gotten theirs taken out, I was quite scared at the chipmunk cheeks that were to ensue.  At the initial consultation, He walked me through how my teeth were, how he was going to take them out, possible complications due to impaction and root of tooth going into a nerve etc etc.  Morning of the surgery, got in, he asked if I had any questions, got put under, teeth were taken out, and I woke up in recovery.  Got my ice packs and was out the door.  In the afternoon, I got a call from the him to check up on how I was feeling, second to none on the care.  Followups were good, also answered questions that were not related to his work, but rather general oral work.  Our family have all had our wisdom teeth taken out by him, great for all of us.  No bruising, I just look like I had gained some weight.  Great doctor in my opinion. 	4	4	5	5 
34	-1	As an adult it is my responsibility to research any procedure I consider taking. Dr W dismissed me and my concerns because I “Googled” a procedure. He said he would not do it because I “googled” it “I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to have it done”. He wouldn’t even direct these comments to me; he spoke directly to S. I was not pleased with results of TP procedure. Obvious from B&A; of little improvement.  Wasn’t looking for perfection so I don’t believe I’m unrealistic. I am pleased with eye procedure. Very upset with Botox results as I now have lisp/crooked smile. Dr W said “Btx can move from injec site and I will have to wait till it wears off”. Injeg Btx needs to be done by Prof, as it is a very complex area and can result in side effects I now have. When I was in Dr office for Btx there was discussion between S and Dr about the right “spots” to inject Btx as S seemed unsure as to where they were.  Dr W took S to aside to “show” her where they are. Unprofessional, EGOtistical. 	 2/4/10	5	5	1
34	1	scared to death because he was dancing while he was injecting me.  I thought he was going to paralyze me 	3	5	3	5 
34	1	I just had a tongue biopsy done.  He was very kind and efficient.  It was mildly uncomfortable and 3 days later it is almost healed. 	5	5	5	5 
34	1	Dr Wakeham pulled out all 4 of my wisdom teeth. He is very kind, pantient nad knowledgeable. He ceven went as far to call me at home to see how my recovery was going. The nurses and front staff were allso very kind and polite over the phone as well as in person. I had an amazing experience with Dr. Wakeham and would definiately recommend him! 	5	5	5	5 
34	1	I saw Dr. Wakeham in June/09 and thought he was great.  He did surgery on my lip and neck and I was out of his office within 1/2 hour.  The staff are polite and the surroundings are quiet and sterilized.  I would definitely see him again if the need came up.  Dr. Wakeham explained the process to me clearly and asked if I had any questions/concerns which shows signs of a good physician. 	5	5	5	5 
34	1	I was fortunate enough to have this surgeon perform oral surgery to correct an overbite.  He is a perfectionist and will not tolerate people telling him what to do, Remember he is the professional&#63;  He noted a serious health problem with my neck and due to his advisement I got it fixed, I only wish I had seen him earlier.  He knows what he is doing. 	5	5	5	5 
34	1	GREAT EXPERIENCE. wHY DID THE FOLLOWING PATIENT NOT GO BACK TO THE DENTIST WHO DID THE EXTRACTION IF THEY WERE SO GREAT. PART OF OFFERING SURGICAL SERVICES SHOULD BE TO FOLLOW UP AS NEEDED AS WELL. IT IS NOT A SPECIALISTS JOB TO &quot;CLEAN UP&quot; AFTER HIS COLLEAGUES. WAS THE PATIENT REFERRED&#63; 	5	5	5	5 
34	-1	i went to see this &quot;specialist&quot; after a tooth was taken out by my own dentist as i was having sme complications.  This jerk refused to see me and sent me back crying to my dentist.  he has no compassion and a huge ego problem.  I thought specialists were supposed to be there to help out when a general dentist couldn't.  I would never recommend him to anyone.  wasn't there an oath he hd to take somewhere.  I had the money to pay him but he was upset that someone else other than him can pull out a tooth. I should have read these ratings before i went there because i wouldn't have gone then.  he basically put down my dentist and his skills although i think he did an amazing job with my surgery..it was very straightforward but unfortunsately i ended up woith some unavoidable complication.  this man should be banned from practicing. 	1	3	1	3 
34	1	He extracted my top right wisdom tooth.  The entire surgical experience was quick and relatively painless.  The staff were friendly and effecient.  I would definitely recommend this surgeon. 	5	5	5	5 
34	-1	I am writing this 10 years after he extracted 4 of my wisdom teeth. I was only 26 at the time. I woke up swollen as expected but did not expect what happened next. I realized that he had broken my jaw, messed up my bite and I ended up with TMJ, migraines for nearly 2 years. I could not open my mouth more than a few centimetres for almost 1 year , had to stop working and could not function whtsoever. When I tried to pursue this, I was turned away and x-rays went missing etc... I was in contact with the Alberta dental association and they were no help, also the dentist who refered me to dr. Wakeham would not help me either. It felt like the big bad boys club.. You pay to have a service done, they put you under, are very rough, then you suffer for the next many years....I wanted to sue but I could not speak or eat and had migraines so bad that I did not have the energy to do so, at the time I did not think that I had a case. now, at 36 I warn people to stay away from that ****!!!!!! 	1	2	1	1 
34	-1	I had two wisdoms extracted.  The surgery itself and recovery went fine.  However I had numbness in my lower chin.  I brought this up in a follow up vist and he basically said, just wait for it to come back and call in six months.  So I did, still numb.  When I called in their office had no record of me ever being treated at their office!! and were not willing to make an appointment for me to come in and discuss my concerns regarding the nerve damage.  I found out after that nerve damage has to be addressed within the first few weeks after surgery, not six months where it is too late. 	2	5	1	3 
34	-1	I had a biopsy done on my tongue by him and he didn't know how much painful the process and recovery is going to be. He recommended that I can go back to work after 8AM surgery, he also okayed my travelling the next day to India. After the procedure he prescribed a very powerful pain killer (T3) that made me very sleepy. I had to deboard the plane at London on my way to India as pain was unbearable. It was painful for next fifteen days and I was unable to eat or drink without taking painkillers. Save yourself...never see this doctor. 	1	5	1	3 
34	1	My son had his wisdom teeth taken out in December 08 and we had absolutely no complaints. Dr. Wakeham explained everything thoroughly and the after care was exceptional. Very minimal bruising and the doctor even phoned to follow up on his pain management. 	5	5	5	5 
34	1	I recently had all of my wisdom teeth removed by dr.Wakeham and i thought he did a fantastic job. I had no bruising after the surgery and very little pain he provided me with all the needed prescriptions at the office. The nurse when i woke up was very calm and caring. i did not have any problems with the anesthesia and i was very coheriant afterwards. He througholy explained the risks with the type of extraction i had and was very calm. On my follow up appointment he showed me how to properly clean my sockets and was overall very knowledgeable. The staff was very understanding, we had a misunderstanding about payment and the receptionist was very patient and kind to me. Overall i had a very good experience. 	5	4	5	5 
34	1	I did a dental surgery there recently and in my experience, Dr Makeham is professional and friendly. 	5	4	4	5 
34	-1	Dr Donald Wakeham's damaged my previously normal TM joints upon the extraction of my impacted wisdom teeth. He could have cared less, would not return calls when I was in distress, would not speak to other dentists/md's to assist, his neglect resulted in so much pain and suffering that is beyond description. When he was finished with me, I had a 2 mm opening, swelling and edema, and was unable to turn my  head, speak properly, eat normally, or enjoy life. It took surgery in the USA, to remove the massive amounts of scar tissue in the joints- from the surgical injury from severe downward thrusting, so severe that the mandible was forced from the normal position, resulting in bleeding into the joints, tearing of the miniscus, and  subsequent scar tissue formation within the joints. Following the surgery, it took ten years of reconstructive orthodontics, to resume a fraction of the life enjoyed before encountering this individual. He did not care and just threw me away like garbage. 	1	1	1	1 
34	-1	I would NEVER in my life recomend this surgeon. I went there when i was around the age of 11, the staff were rude, he wanted to do major jaw surgery IN HIS OFFICE with trying to put me under with ADAVAN... I wasnt even half asleep I was dizzy and sick. He then made it for another day at a hospital... 	1	1	1	1 
34	0	I must have picked a bad day, because I witnessed one patient being publicly humilated for only having a $ 2000 credit limit on their credit card and another patient's husband/boy-friend being asked to leave an almost-empty waiting room because it's their policy not to allow people to wait in the waiting room. Medically, this place is alright, but zero marks for customer service / politeness - especially the receptionist (perhaps in need of vacation). 	1	3	3	3 
34	1	I had him do major jaw surgery when I was 14 years old and never had any issues. He did a fantastic job and have had several dentist comment on his wonderful work. I would recommend him to anyone. 	5	5	5	5 
34	0	Not a very Kid friendly experience and I wouldn't bring a young child to this office.  His business seems more focused on plastic and cosmetic procedures then Dental surgery. Heard from everyone his is a good surgeon though. 	3	4	2	4 
35	1	Have missed her since she's been on med leave.  Hope she's back soon. 	3	3	4	5 
35	1	Dr. W. is first and foremost a kind, caring woman, who also happens to be a doctor.  She's just very real, and always treats me with sincere interest and respect.  She never appears to be in a hurry.  She is hardly ever late (though I tend to go early in the day).  I've never seen her in a bad mood.  She is a good listener, and I'm never made to feel silly about any problem I bring to her, no matter how big or small.  I hope she stays practicing a very long time!!  She became my doctor almost by accident, and what a happy accident that was! 	5	4	5	4 
35	1	Dr. Wachowich is an excellent doctor. I can't believe my good fortune in getting on her patient list. What a gem! 	5	4	5	5 
35	1	Wonderful doctor, very kind and caring.  Will make sure you are referred to the right specialists if needed.  Will spend all the time you need with her and never makes you feel rushed.  Extremely helpful and patient.  I consider myself extremely lucky to have her as a family physician.  I hope she never leaves her practice. 	4	4	5	5 
35	1	Absolutely wonderful doctor.  I'm so lucky to be her patient.  Actually, she's the one who is patient, helping me with my complex problem and never giving up even over several years of difficult medical trouble.  I agree completely with all positive remarks made here by other people; she's gentle, resourceful, methodical, kind, positive.  Wish they could all be like her. 	4	4	5	5 
35	1	Four generations of our family are presently patients of Dr. W. We find her very helpful, compassionate and caring.When needed,she readily refers us to excellent specialists. Dr.W even took the time to drop in to see my mother while she was in the hospital and has called after hours to check on her progress! She always takes time to listen! We appreciate having Dr. W as our GP. 	5	3	5	4 
35	1	Dr. W takes the time to listen to ones concerns - and absolutely refers out when any question comes up. I find her on time, considerate, thorough and a dedicated physician. 	5	5	5	5 
35	1	I LOVE Dr. W! If ever she is late (I read the other comments), I don't mind - she doesn't rush me out, but spends the same amount of time with me as she does her other patients. If ever she isn't sure about something, she consults books (ie: drug interactions)and also consults other medical professionals. We are NEVER left hanging, wondering what's wrong with us. She ALWAYS follows through. Her caring and compassion are not matched by any other doctor I've been to. She is one of the most kind and commited doctors I know. I find her to be very knowledgable - I don't know how she keeps all that information straight! If she needs more information, she knows exactly who to consult, and always ensures we fully understand everything. I keep my fingers crossed that she won't leave her practice - we'd be lost! 		4	5	5 
35	0	Is not always on time, especially later in the day. Nice doctor, but could be more proactive. Doesn't always know the answer...you need to take the &quot;bull&quot; by the horns to get what you are needing. 		3	4	2 
35	1	She is incredibly helpful and unjudgemental. When Dr. Wachowich doesn't have the answer for you or your problem, she refers you to professionals in that particular field, and usually to very qualified, well known pople in their field. I feel very fortunate to have such a wonderful doctor. Keep up the good work! 		4	5	4 
35	1	she takes the time to explain things to you. Very helpful, and never rushes you. 		4	4	4 
35	1	Great Doctor! Very knowlegable, always on time, spends time with you and genuinely listens to your concerns. Excellent 		5	5	5 
36	1	Dr. Watson is very straightforward and good at giving you all your options.  I first went to a different OBGYN for a fibroid on my uterus after she basically told me my only option was a hysterectomy.  She didn't even do a hysteroscopy to check if just the fibroid could be removed.  Dr. Watson did a hysteroscopy and said that yes, she could remove just the fibroid.  What a relief - surgery was a success and heavy periods are gone! 	 12/28/11	5	4	5
36	1	Dr. Watson was my surgeon for my hysterectomy.  I was amazed by the whole process from start to finish.  With any surgery not knowing what to expect is always a fear, but Dr. Watson provided me with all the information I needed to help me make the best decsion for me and my situation.  I was impressed with how quick the procedure itself was and how amazing the recovery from the laprascopic method was.  Dr. Watson is a true professional who is extremely passionate about what she does and provides excellent patient care.  I was delighted to have Dr. Watson as my OBGYN for this procedure and for any future concerns that may arise.  I would easily recommend Dr. Watson to anyone who is looking for excellence. 	 10/20/11	4	5	5
36	1	I went to see Dr. Sheila Watson for an IUD insertion and she was awesome - very caring and took time to talk to me about the procedure.  She is awesome! 	5	5	5	5 
36	0	A VERY cold, rude and impatient Dr.  Was not receptive to questions and freaked out when I asked her about Gardasil.  I will NEVER go to her again! 	3	2	3	3 
36	1	This doctor is amazing.  I have been going to see her since I was 16 and now Im 26.  I would not go to any other.  She makes you feel extremly comfortable and she has a lot to say about any questions you may have. 	4	2	5	5 
36	-1	This doctor was horrible.  She made me very uncomfortable and gave me news that I may never have children.  I started to cry and she was very cold and in a rude tone asked why am I crying.  I consulted another doctor after, and was told I would have no problem conceiving, and that I should have never been told that I couldn't. 	4	3	1	1 
36	1	I struggled to have a baby and have a long history of miscarriage.  She was wonderful!  Very thorough in testing, very encouraging and supportive. Because of her encouragment, I didn't give up and now am expecting a healthy baby boy in just a few weeks. Always takes the time to answer all my questions, and I never feel rushed.  I would highly recommend her. 	5	4	5	5 
36	1	I was referred to her by my family physician because of my obesity and twin pregnancy. I really loved her, she was the best doctor I think I've ever seen, very encouraging and realistic.  I always left her office feeling good.  Almost makes me want to get pregnant again just so I can see her again! I'd recommend her to anyone.  Her staff was also very good, very helpful. 	5	4	5	5 
36	1	Dr. Watson was excellent. She was always willing to listen and knew exactly what to say to reassure me. She also visited me after I gave birth and was really supportive. 	5	5	5	5 
36	1	My first pregnancy ended with an emergency c-section.  Dr. Watson was on call, and I could not have been in better hands.  Warm, genuine, and she instantly put me at ease.  Excellent and very skilled physician.  Highly recommended. 	5	5	5	5 
36	1	I saw Dr. Watson throughout my third pregnancy.  I am a very picky patient and she was excellent.  She was always willing to listen to and address any questions or concerns I had.  I would highly recommend her to all of my friends.  If you are lucky enough to get her, you are in very capable hands. 	4	3	5	5 
36	-1	Cold. Unapproachable. Phoney. Not sure I can think of 3 worse qualities to have in a physician. 	4	3	1	1 
36	1	She was very helpful and knowledgeable during my pregnancy...Thank you!! 	5	3	5	5 
36	1	Excellent service,very personable and wonderful apathy.Every woman should have the professional experience with her doctor that I received from Dr. Watson.I highly recommend her to all my female friends 	5	4	5	5 
36	1	Dr.Watson has done 3 of the 5 surgeries I've had, and also dealt with a miscarriage and subsequent D&C;, I will never ever let another Dr. cut me open as long as she is around, she and her team always make me feel comforted as I'm going under, her bedside manner is amazing, besides the nurses in recovery, her face was the first i saw when I woke up from my last surgery, to tell me what happened, you tell me what doctor waits around for her patient to wake up to talk to them personally when they couldve gone home hours before&#63;! I am now in my second trimester, and Dr.Watson was so excited to see me for &quot;something happy&quot; I have complete faith in her, and recommend her to any friend who needs a gynie. 	 12/18/08	5	5	5
36	1	Dr. Watson is amazing. I would recommend her to everyone. She always makes me feel comfortable is open to my suggestions and concerns. She gives you all of the information you need to make important decision. She is supportive, knowledgeable and kind. 	5	4	5	5 
36	1	Dr. Watson was wonderful, full of knowledge and very friendly. 	2	2	5	5 
36	1	I really like Dr. Watson. She is knowledgeable and caring. She was not rushed and patiently listenned to all of my questions and concerns. I instantly felt comfortable with her and would recommend her practice to anyone. 	4	4	5	5 
36	1	She's assertive and very knowledgable...2 very good qualities when a decision needs to be made. She was funny and easy to talk with, no question went unanswered. Not very often was there a delay to get into her office. Her staff are very easy to work with in the RVGH clinic. She made sure the appropriate doctors were involved and everything (pregnancy and delivery) went off without any problems. I trust her. She was very realistic about potential problems and didn't sugar coat them, which helped me prepare for the potential risks/ concerns with pregnancy and child birth. I will certainly go back to her in the future if/ when I have another baby. 	5	5	5	5 
36	1	I am completely happy with the care I received with Dr. Watson. She is professional but knows when to make light of a situation. She would always make me laugh, even when I was overdue with my 3rd child (rarely happened at the point I was at, haha). She always put me and my baby first no matter what the situation. I am very happy with her as a doctor and friend. See you again if I ever decide on having another :O) 		4	5	5 
36	1	She delivered my last child, and did my hysterctomy - I thought she was AMAZING! She listened to what I wanted, asked. Never once did I feel rushed, she always made me feel like I was the only patient. 		3	5	5 
36	0	She was probably the worst Dr. we've seen. She put us under so much pressure. Not open minded at all. Focused on the negative's of what MIGHT happen with twin birth, not reasuring us and helping to make us feel at ease or looking to the positve's of a wonderful day. Would Never see her again. 		1	1	4 
36	1	Dr. Watson is very knowledgeable. She provided me with the information I needed to have a healthy baby. She didn't hesitate to induce me when signs of trouble were becoming evident. I fully intend to go back to her with my next pregnancy. 		4	5	5 
36	1	No personality, didn't make feel comfortable during the delivery of my son. She didn't really look you in the eye or say anything to me or my husband. Talked to the nurses or the resident the whole time. She was very task oriented, came in got the kid out, did a few stitches and left. She is good at what she does though and I guess that is all that really matters. 		2	4	5 
36	1	What can i say. she did what she needed to do with respect to a surgery i needed. i totally beleived in her and trusted any decision she made. 		5	5	5 
36	1	She was open minded and helpful in my decision to have a cesarian vs VBAC. She was straight forward yet let me make the ultimate decision without feeling pushed. Great bedside manner. 		3	5	5 
36	1	No major wait time and she's friendly. Not really receptive to suggestions though. Knowledgeable about her job. Really good at making you feel comfortable on the first few visits. 		4	4	4 
37	1	A most wonderful doctor!  He was extremely helpful and friendly.  I am very grateful to have had him :) 	5	5	5	5 
37	-1	Since January his office has not been opem, even when it was open it was only open once a week. When you do call his office the message states to go to the Hospital, in Emergency, to see him. It takes about 4-5 hours in Emercgency just to get to talk to him, than another hour waiting to be dismissed. My fatherinlaw is a heart patient and can't take the time out of work to go sit in an emergency room for 6 hours just to get presciptions. This is absurd for any of his patients who are on meds. Not only are alot of his patients frustrated, you can't get another Doctor in GP if you have a family doctor already, but so are the pharmacies in this town. The reason he does work out of emergency is because he makes more money. Shows where his values lie when it comes to patients needs, like many doctors out there. 	 5/17/11	3	1	1
37	-1	My 17yr son was admittned to the ER with an obvious concussion. The boy could not walk and was clearly out of it.I was told he did not have a concussion because he did not lose consciousness (my son did not know if he did) and he answered all the questions asked (although very slurred and slowly).He did not even give him a physical examination.We were told we could go home. Luckily we had a wonderful nurse who thouroughly examined him and called Wang back and expressed her concerns. As the night progressed his condition worsened and in the end Wang ended up sending him for a ct scan and he spent the night in the hospital.7 months later he is still suffering the effects. I have no medical training and could have provided better care. Terrible, terrible Doctor.!!!! 	3	3	1	1 
37	1	never know about what they know..one day aweek for all the patients he has seems not enough to me.......then not here for 2 of those days means 2 weeks&#63;&#63;&#63;&#63;&#63;&#63;&#63;&#63; 	2	3	4	5 
37	1	Just left G.P. to Calgary hope we can find a doctor as good as him, seems busy but gets the job done, keep up the good work! 	5	5	5	5 
37	1	love this doc, ya he is hard to get into and busy but it is worth the wait for me.  He has delivered both my sons and made very bad situations easy to deal with. the Best 	5	5	5	5 
37	1	Dr. Wang has been our Family Doctor for over 10 years now and has helped us welcome our 2 children into our family. He is very consciencious, thorough and concerned about his patients. We find his holistic approach to healthcare to best suit our needs. We have also had encounters with him in Emergency where he maintains his calm & kind demeanour regardless of what's going on around him. Dr. Wang is familiar with our medical history and always addresses/follows up with any concerns we have. We do not feel rushed or like we are just a number when we see Dr. Wang. He is also very patient and kind with children and babies and easily engages them. For times when we have been in the hospital, Dr. Wang's bedside manner has been impeccable. We are able to access Dr. Wang easily on the days he is in his office, and Ona (receptionist) is great, too. We feel very grateful to have Dr. Wang as our doctor. He is very gifted at what he does. Sincerely, T. Kosik 	5	4	5	5 
37	1	Very nice man and a great doctor from my experience. 	 7/23/08	5	5	5
37	1	I saw Dr. Wang a few times in the ER during my pregnancy. I had a hypertension problem when I was pregnant. Each time, he'd check for the baby's heartbeat, and chat with me to calm me down. I was very worried about any complications, as it was my first pregnancy. He'd always make me feel better, and he'd always follow up with my care, even though I have a family doctor. I was very impressed with the time he spent with me, even though, as usual, the ER was overflowing with patients waiting to be seen. 	5	5	5	5 
37	-1	He is the worst doc i have ever seen. He asked me if i thought my daughter needed an IV. He should know that he is the doc and i am the parent thats the reason i brought her to the doc. 	1	1	1	1 
37	1	I have been a patient of Dr Wang for about 8 years and am very happy with his care. 	5	4	5	5 
37	-1	Saw him in emerg when son pinched his finger, for the 2nd time. He didn't believe our story as to what had happened and made us feel stupid. We had been through it once before and new what to expect and he told us we didn't know what we were talking about and wanted us to leave the room when I said he needed another person to hold my son down for freezing. Only to call me back in after a few unsuccessful tries. Will never see him again. 	1	2	1	1 
37	1	Dr.Wang has delivered both my children and I could not have asked for a better guy. Very understanding and very helpful. 	5	5	5	5 
37	-1	My mother died of a blood disorder this year that he could have probably caught had he been less busy 		2	2	1 
37	1	I have been going to Dr. Wang for 6 years and I find him very helpful and very thorough. I know his hours in the office are very limited but his nurse is very accomodating at getting me in if need be. Great Dr. so lets hope he doesn't leave. 		4	5	5 
37	1	I think Dr. Wang is a great doctor. He has been very helpful with any concerns I have had. His hours can be frustrating at times, but I do understand he is a very very busy Dr. 		4	5	5 
37	1	Dr.wang has been my doctor for almost 10 years. He has been very helpful with all situations. If he dosen't know what's wrong he will send you in the right direction. Because of his emerg hours his office have cut back,but they are really good at his office getting you in right away when you need to be seen. 		5	5	5 
37	1	He is the best doctor ever 		5	5	5 
38	1	I had a bowel blockage that had gone undetected.  I eventually ended up with excrusiating pain that send me in a panic to the hospital.  Doctors there arranged for me to be flown out immediately.  When I arrived in Grand Prairie, unannounced, Dr. Walker took great pains to determine if my bowel had indeed died, (it had turned purple/black) or if it could be saved.  This was between 10 p.m. and midnight.  Thanks to her patience and dedication to her craft, almost all of my bowel was able to be saved.  My ostomy site needed to be repaired.  I have never experienced any kind of problem with after surgery complications.  Dr. Walker did an expert job of repairing my bowel and ostomy site.  I do not have any problems at all with using ostomy products.  I am very pleased with her skills and knowledge as a surgeon.  I didn't get a chance to get to know Dr. Walker, other than briefly speaking with hera few times, but I found her to be candid and informative. 	5	5	5	5 
38	1	Janet has the best bed-side skills I've ever seen. I'm in the 1 to 2% of males unfortunate enough to had had breast cancer. Janet did my mastectomy and was wonderful. 		5	5	5 
38	1	Did my surgery - mastectomy - was great about everything and did an awesome job. 		4	5	5 
39	1	Excellent, friendly and knowledge. Was able to help me and my family for many years now. 	5	4	5	5 
39	1	Dr. Wall is very helpful, honest, and competent. 	4	4	5	5 
40	1	Our family has seen Dr. Martin off and on for years. My daughters headaches, my husbands shoulder issues and my stomach problems. He is very professional and he knows his stuff with TCM.  Great help. 	4	4	5	5 
40	1	Phenomenal. Fixed problems that have been a serious debilitating factor in my life for the past 25 years, 2 of the 5 are completely gone after 15 treatments!!! We are working on solving the other ones. I had gone to see medical specialists up the ying yang, other acupuncturists, massage therapists, physios, osteopaths, chiro's, naturopaths etc and I got alot of oh poor you...but no relief. The thing about the angry comment that chinese medical Dr's don't have a bedside manner is partly correct...they are there to fix you, to ask you questions about your pee, pooh, sleep, emotions, appetite, and to look at your tongue and take your pulses....they really aren't there to make you feel good about being sick....they are there to make you better so you don't have to see them. How one could find a 5 foot 4 man who is maybe 140 lbs who actually has a PhD in cardiology from Sweden and is INCREDIBLY INCREDIBLY educated in both western and eastern medicine is completely beyond me. Racism&#63; 	5	5	5	5 
40	1	Dr. Martin is very knowledgeable. I had some issues that I had been dealing with for years and he is the only person that took the time to find out why these issues were showing up in my health. I have recommended many family and friends to him and they all have found relief. I truly reccomend him if you have been pushed away by your GP or feel like there is an answer to your health issues that you just don't know about. 	5	5	5	5 
40	-1	Condescending, little respect to people, and no attention to patient's concern. Yes, I came for a free acupuncture open house advertised by Mr. Wang, but I guess since there's no money involved he shows his true colour. I had no major health issues but I did have concerns about my ankle and high uric acid and I would like to explore this TCM thing. He responded, in a somewhat broken English, that I'm wasting his time as I had no health problems and saying that &quot;acupuncture is not to be tried for funny&quot; (wait, you meant 'fun'). I asked his diagnosis, from acupuncture perspective, about my ankle (which had a fracture a few years back) and he kept misinterpreting my question and basically telling me off (&quot;go talk to your Western physician)&quot;. He did give me an acupuncture treatment grudgingly; the moment he took out the last needle, he said dress up, that's all for today and left the room before I even get my head up from the bed. Take your time and money elsewhere. 	1	3	1	2 
40	1	Great doctor! Went to see him to treat my chronic stuffy nose and eczema on my hands. When I askedd questions about what he was doing (e.g. cupping, herbal treatments, etc.), he showed a willingness to explain and help me understand the treatment. He's also very courteous and I couldn't believe how much I improved after 2-3 treatments. Would definitely recommend Dr. Wang. 	5	5	4	5 
40	1	I had my first acupuncture and herbal medicine treatment with Doctor Wang to treat chronic neck pain as well as chronic IBS and bloating.  It was a very positive experience overall and after just one treatment I noticed an improvement.  He was very willing to listen to the details of my health concerns and he seemed very knowledgeable.  I will certainly be going to Doctor Wang again. 	 10/11/09	4	5	5
41	1	saw dr c walsh when his wife was away on mat leave.  also young, but very smart young man.  he was able to help me out with the problems i had that day in the absence of his wife.  very fast to get in to, but did have to wait quite some time in the exam office for him to arrive.  never did feel rushed once he got there, very pleasant and very helpful 	4	4	4	4 
41	1	Colin is very friendly and approachable.  Although &quot;relatively&quot; young, well-educated and knowledgeable. 	4	5	5	5 
41	1	Dr Walsh is a very attentive man who's been very helpful in all the appts I've had. Friendly, courteous and concerned and if he wasn't able to help(which hasn't been often) he's found out for me. Been seeing him for about 5 years now 	4	5	5	4 
41	1	Dr. Walsh knows his stuff and is always asking at the end of the appointment if there is anything else I need to talk about! I don't feel like he is rushing to get onto his next appointment, cause he makes the time to ask if there is anything else I need to discuss with him! He's like the family doctors in the past who took the time with their patients. Way to go Dr. Walsh!! 	5	5	5	5 
41	1	I recently went to see Dr. Walsh and he was very professional and took the time to listen to my problem and gave me the necessary treatment I required. 	5	5	5	5 
41	-1	Seems to want to do the right thing. shows care at times, but does'nt really seem to deal well with WCB issues. Doesn't seem to support his patients. Seems too young to really have much experience to deal with complex issues. Seems to say 1 thing to you and another to other professionals.I have been seeing him for  awhile now and he has yet to fix any of my issues. I feel empty handed and diappointed and frustrated with his practice. He takes on new patients, but I think that is why he is not able to spend the quality time with his patients to make them better. You can always get an appointment with him right away, but I have been waiting to have my injuries dealt with for almost two years now.I do not feel that I have the support I need from him. For this reason I rated him low because more than ever us patients need the guiding support of our dr.s Too many issues are going undetected, due to neglegence, because dr.s just don't have time to deal with them. 	5	5	1	1 
42	1	Unusual interest in all aspects of my life and accepting of my bias. Very proactive. 	5	4	5	5 
42	1	Dr. Wadhera has been my family doc for 8-9 years, and he's great - helpful, responsive and knowledgeable.  I just wish I could have all my loved ones seeing him.  :o) 	5	5	5	5 
42	1	I've been going to Dr. Wadhera for as long as I can remember. He never rushes me and listens to all my concerns, I've never had a problem with him. He is very thorough and makes me feel comfortable. He makes sure all my concerns are tended to and put at rest. Dr.Wadhera is the epitome of that idealest family doctor that was all wish for but can't hope to find. I found him! 	5	5	5	5 
42	0	No professional ethics. He refused basic prescription for annual check-up. Won't say anything else! 	1	3	1	4 
42	1	i have been dr wadhera for 10 years or longer.he is the best i have ever went to.he litens to my problems and is very professional.he takes his time to check to make sure everything is good ad sends for the nessasary tests when he thinks it is best.instead just sending me for tests to get rid of me fast. i recommend him to everyone who wants a good doctor 	2	5	5	5 
42	1	Best Dr. I have ever had. I have been going to Dr. Wadhera for many years and he has helped me manage my diabetes without medication. He is an excellent Dr. 	5	5	5	5 
42	1	Dr.Wadhera is an awsome Doctor ,he has been our family Doctor for now 9 years ,always been very helpful &amp; nice and his staff is also very helpful and nice,I have been recomending all my friends to him ,he is a very very good listener and he understands his patience.....Khatri Family 	5	5	5	5 
42	1	Very knowledgeable, always takes the time to answer all your questions.  I consider him to be one of the best in the city. 	5	5	5	5 
42	1	Dr.W has been my doc for about 9 years. He is patient, kind and thorough. He is also my husband's doc and both of our children's doc as well. He has a background in psychology and I think that makes him compassionate and a good listener as well as an incredible doc. I don't ever want to have to change family docs. the world would be a better place if we had more doctor's like him. 	5	4	5	5 
42	1	Awesome Doctor,we have been going to him since he came to Calgary. He is not afraid to say he is not sure what is going on and to send you to a Specialist.  Does not just give an Rx and send you on your way.  He takes the time to listen to you, does not make you feel rushed or pressured to get the appointment over with so he can go to the next patient.  He is worth the wait which in all the years has never been very long.  He usually right on time.  He explains everything to you if you don't understand.  Anyone that I have sent his way are really happy with him also.  He is so knowledgeable, which just proves that he takes the time to be up to date on all the new meds and everything.  You really feel comfortable with him as well. He takes the time to make sure you understand what is going on. Just wish that he was still taking new patients.  More Doctors need to be like Dr. Wadhera.  I know that we will be going to him for along as he is practicing. 	5	5	5	5 
42	1	Very good to see a doctor who doesn't automatticly write a rx. takes the time to do the proper diognostic 	4	4	5	5 
42	1	I have been with Dr Wadhera for about 7-8 yrs. I have been through alot while having Dr Wadhera, had 2 kids, got hit by a c-train and he is awesome. I wouldn't want anyone else as my doctor. 	5	5	5	5 
42	1	I have been seeing him for approx 8 years now. I changed to him because he brought concerns to my attention that the other doctor I was seeing missed. I am very grateful. He explains everythign and he puts up with me. He has seen me at my best as well as my worst. 		5	5	5 
42	1	I have been seeing Dr Wadhera for about 7 OR 8 years now. He always explains everything in detail and ensures that I understand what he's saying. He shows care and concern for my physical, emotional and mental health every visit. I'm always impressed when I see him and he remembers me and my on-going concerns. I've recommended him to several of my friends, my husband and my parents when they were visiting from Ontario and needed to see a doctor. I lived in Ontario for 30 years and had the same physician for most of those years - Dr Wadhera knows me better than that doctor in Ontario did after being his patient for over 20 years. He is very knowledgable regarding all the health concerns I've had as well as any medications that I've used or considered using. He's definitely a first class doctor and I would highly recommend him to anyone. We really need more people like Dr Wadhera in our world. 		5	5	5 
42	1	Excellent manner and diagnosis skills with children. I prefer him over pediatricians that we've tried. 		5	5	5 
42	1	I had a family doctor for the first 18 years of my life, but the first appointment I had with Dr. Wadhera I knew he had to be my doctor for the rest of my life. He is very knowledgable, thorough, and makes uncomfortable situations and exams comfortable. I trust this man with my life. 		5	5	5 
42	1	I have received excellent health care for the past 10 years. I have many health problems and he has sent me to a specalist when required. He understands with out my having to spell everything out. Just such a comfort. 		5	5	5 
42	1	I have been a patient for many years and have always been pleased with him. 		4	4	5 
42	1	Helped identify and treat problem I (patient) was unaware of. 		4	4	5 
42	1	I just love this doctor,two of my friends also turned to him as well. He keeps our relationship professional and thats good 'cause he's needed to address some things in my life. I'm very grateful for him. 		5	5	5 
42	1	one of the best doctor we have had over the years.He cares about your in put,hope he stays the the same 		5	5	5 
43	1	Very nice, and professional person. To bad she retire already, I miss her very much. 	5	5	5	5 
43	1	With my family having constant teeth problem, she was our blessing 	5	5	5	5 
43	-1	Took my daughter to see her and said she was complaining of pain and she said everything was okay. Next dentist extracted two teeth and filled two more. Had lots of respect for her until this 		2	2	2 
44	1	It took forever to get to see him but when I did he explained everything to me in detail and was very nice and knowledgable.  He explained every test before he did it and was very easy to talk to. 	 7/19/11	5	4	5
44	1	Getting an appointment to see him was disheartening as the waiting list was long and I waited 3 months to see him. Notwithstanding this, Darlene (reception) is very busy but professional and polite. Dr Walz is also very busy and professional. He is not your &quot;touchy feely, lets sit and chat&quot; doctor which is a shame, as I feel the particular field in which he chose you need a little bedside manner. I am a 40 year old woman and he has performed a cystoscopy and two bladder dilations on me. He is knowledgeable and gets the job done regardless. Thank you Dr Walz :) 	 2/9/11	5	4	4
44	-1	My husband found Dr. Walz to be uninformative.  In all appts, it was like being a number.  His rectal exams were so fast.  He would condradict what he had told us the appt before and it was like we were always starting over.  Another doctor has now found a node and my husband has transferred doctors for better care. 	2	3	1	2 
44	1	I had a cystoscopy procedure with Dr Walz on November 30.  He was fabulous and his receptionist is was very helpful and pleasant.  I don't understand the negative comments here.  He was knowledgable, gentle and everything went perfectly including follow-up procedures.  Maybe it's this type of medical speciality that makes people a litte anxious, but in my case, I couldn't have asked for a better doctor or better service. 	5	5	5	5 
44	1	Dr. Walz performed a lower abdominal corrective sergical procedure for me.  The consultations were uninformative and I felt rushed in his meet and greet appointments.  He seems to expect that the discussions of patient issue's is sorted out before one visit's him.  He performed a perfect surgery, the inscision healed perfectly, I can hardly tell.  He seemed to have a dul humour to his bedside manour.  I'm very pleased with the results of his efforts.  The time line from consultation to surgery completion was quite lengthy. 	4	5	3	4 
44	-1	I live in B.C. and called Dr Walz office to inquire about the care plan for my father-in-law who is in a hospital in Alberta.  I was told by his receptionist that the Dr would not talk to me on the phone or call me back, and the only way the Dr would speak with me, would be if I would be in the hospital room on the day that Dr Walz visited that hospital.  I asked when would he be there&#63;  I was given a possible date when the Dr would be at the hospital. I wanted to clarify with the receptionist so I asked &quot;so you are telling me that I need to fly to Alberta, and be in the patient room, hoping that the Dr will come by so that I can talk and ask him questions&#63;&quot; Her answer was Yes that is the only way.  THIS ACTION BY THIS DR IS PURE LAZINESS AND LACK OF CARING.  I WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER UROLOGIST for my father-in-law. 	1	2	1	2 
44	1	We researched what we wanted for my husbands prostate cancer and were pleasantly surprised that it was just what this doctor recommended even when it meant referral to someone highly specialized. 	4	2	5	4 
44	1	I have seen Dr.Walz twice, i'm 23 and i felt very comfortable around him.  He was informative and genuinely seemed to care. The Cystoscopy was quick and easy. He answered my questions and made a follow up appointment.  I would recommend. 	4	4	5	5 
44	1	I was just diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. Dr Walz was able to have me in surgery within a few days. This was my first surgery and Dr. Walz made me feel comfortable in his hands. He is very knowledgeable and I'm glad he is looking after me. I would highly recommend him for anyone with TC. 	4	4	5	5 
44	-1	I found him short and displaying a poor bedside manner.  The appointments at his clinic are &quot;in and out&quot; type with little question and answer discussion.  The cystoscopy he performed was very quick, almost too quick.  Without discussion he told me &quot;your symptoms are just the way things are for you&quot;.  I have been reasured otherwise since then and provided a diagnosis without his help!  I'm not sure if he is knowledgable he didn't give me the opportunity to discuss anything. 	2	1	1	1 
44	-1	The words arrogant and uncaring are the only words to describe this man as I would not consider him a doctor. I am not sure how someone like this is allowed to run a practice in Alberta. Unfourtanetly our tax dollars are making this guy rich. 	1	1	1	1 
44	-1	Wow, this guy and his secretary clearly don't understand that they work in a service industry! Obviously considers himself to be a more valuable person than the rest of us. Was not helpful or forthcoming with information and refused to make time to talk with me when I had questions! And incidentally, the surgery didn't work anyway. 	1	3	1	2 
44	-1	This doctor is obviously in this line of work for the money - not because he cares about people's health. He was forcing me to see him every year even though I didn't have any problems. His secretary(wife) bullied me when I refused to have a cystoscopy then told me that the doctor would never see me again. Three years later when I do have a problem - I have to wait 8 months to see the other urologist in Red Deer because I had formerly seen Wallz. What a crock. It's obviously old boys club. His secretary(wife) made it plain that she would make it hard for me to find someone else in the vicinity. Wallz himself is brutal when it comes to cystoscopies and the last time was so painful. Why force someone to have an invasive procedure when they are feeling fine&#63; His cold bedside manner and 'better than thou' attitude need an adjustment I think. Where's the compassion&#63; I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. If I could give him and his 'team' a negative rating I would. 	1	1	1	1 
44	1	I got a referral to Dr. Walz for a vasectomy about 8 years ago after being jerked around by a walk-in clinic doctor.  (Said walk-in clinic doctor told me to &quot;come back and see him in 10 years&quot; when I asked for a vasectomy.)  I had steeled myself for another similar experience and was prepared with all my explanations for why I wanted to be snipped, but Dr. Walz said, &quot;I don't need to know all the reasons why.&quot;  He naturally told me all the things you should know about reversals, etc., and was kind enough to suggest a general anaesthetic after an exam revealed that it would be a slightly more difficult than average procedure to do.  Being paranoid about my reproductive health, I have been tested twice since my 3-month check, most recently last month - no sperm on any of the tests.  The man obviously does good work and didn't give me any trouble where others did, so I am very happy with him. 	5	5	5	5 
44	-1	This doctor should not be practicing. he appears to have some knowledge but has such a bad attitude. Even the nurses at the hospital make comments about him. I had a horrible experience with a procedure with him. He has no commpassion and is very rammy and rude. I had nightmares for a long time after getting this procedure done. Do your self a favor and see someone else. 	1	2	1	1 
44	1	Great doctor, great office staff. No nonsense but easy to talk to. Very helpful and very professional- great work! 	5	5	5	5 
44	-1	From personal experience and from others who had similar experiences, I would not recommend this doctor for prostate biopsies. The result of the procedure was a hospital emergency and the consultation afterward gave no helpful information. 	3	3	1	1 
44	-1	No Bedside manner...doesn't explain things well...keeps you in the dark...so sorry to inconvienience you with my kidney problems...as it may seem I thought a doctor was compassionate to his patients not an ****...you are the one that has no pain tolorance...too bad that you are useing Urology for financial gain only... 	3	5	1	1 
44	-1	My son, at the age of 4, had an intact foreskin that wasn't retracting fully and was developing repeated infections and pain. This dr proceeded to forcefully YANK his foreskin down and I have never been so horrified in my life. My son SCREAMED for half an hour and couldn't pee without pain for 3 days afterwards, and I noticed he was bleeding for the first 24 hours. When I took him back the next day, I was told that my son had no pain tolerance and should be able to &quot;handle it&quot;. I was instructed to do the same thing to him myself after each bath, and the problem would be solved. Needless to say, we never returned. We visited Red Deer's only other urologist a few months later who performed a circumcism, without trying to pull back my son's foreskin- problem solved, never any infections since and he's now 8. This man should be barred from treating children. 	3	3	1	2 
44	1	Dr Walz has been my urologist for several years now and allthough no one enjoys passing giant kidney stones he does make it a little easier with his skill, kindness and sense of humor.  I appreciate the efficiancy both he and his office team have displayed to me over the years and would be more than pleased to recommend him to any one.  I won't go so far as to say I look forward to seeing him (honestly who wants another stone) but regardless of the news at checkups I usually leave smiling.  Over all he is a marvelous Dr and from what I have seen a wonderful person and I hope he's around for a long time to handle this gravel pit I call a kidney. 	5	5	5	5 
44	-1	this doctor is a quack, jerk, idiot, creep and stupid man.I now have just one kidney because of this idiot.He would not refer me when he knew he screwed up. when he finally did refer me, after I begged him... his last words to me were  I quote &quot;I've never been sued..not successfully&quot;  He said this with that smirk he has on his face.  I didn't have the money to sue the jerk.. Also the other specialist that I asked for help from here in Red Deer, would not take me , he too knew Walz screwed up BIG TIME.. don't see this ****.. see your vet before him 	2	1	1	1 
44	1	Dr walz is punctual, very pleasant and very efficient and effective.He has a very good sense of humour, and gives clear and crisp instructions. He has done two kidney operations on me and I am very satisfied with his skills and manner. 	5	5	5	5 
44	-1	This doctor has absoulutley no bed side manner and should have his license revoked. Please stay away from this doctor, go see dr. san vicenter not this quack. 	1	1	1	1 
44	1	Dr Walz made me feel comfortable on my first visit, was quick to diagnose my problem and discussed my options very clearly.  I required a minor operation and when I met him at the hospital on the day of the procedure, he came to me to make sure I was comfortable and to ensure I knew what was about to happen.  I was very comfortable with him and his manner.  Good guy. 	5	5	5	5 
44	1	A bit short on explanations but gets the job done. He has given me a new lease on life. 	4	4	4	4 
45	1	The best doctor I've ever had and I'm 52 years old so I've had a lot of doctors.  Some of his receptionists are good and some are awesome and one is horrible. Crystal is the best. 	 8/15/11	3	3	5
45	1	What else can i say... he is THE best doctor I have ever seen in my life. He cares you, the whole you, your family and the whole being.. not just your health. I was introduced by my freind to Dr. Wash after having very bad days with my previous doctor who had no time to listen to his patient, never punctual and misdiagnosed me. Thank you ,.. thank you Dr. Wash.. and to my friend who introduced me to Dr. Wash. 	5	5	5	5 
45	1	I agree 100% with all previous comments. Dr. Wash is the best.  Period. 	4	5	5	5 
45	1	Have seen this doctor only twice, when my own doctor was on vacation. Knew from the moment I met him that he was exceptional. Great patient bedside manner. Just wish he would take new patients, I would be first in line. 	5	5	5	5 
45	1	WOW!!! I don't know what I am going to do when DR.Wash decides to retire&#63; I wish he could practice forever. What a wonderful man. A real genuine kind funny and most of all he has exceptional manners. 	5	5	5	5 
45	1	I have been a doctor of Dr. Wash's for nearly 10 years. He used to work a block from my home, but I now drive across the city to see him--he's that good. Caring, helpful and thorough. He makes me feel like he cares about me as a person, not just a &quot;client number&quot; during his day. 	4	4	5	5 
45	1	Dr. Wash has been my family doctor for years now and there is NO one better! He is so caring and helful! 	5	4	5	5 
45	1	The best doctor I have ever seen without a doubt.  He is actually a doctor that cares and wants to help, not just medicate.  I love him. 	5	5	5	5 
45	1	Dr. Wash has been my doctor for the past 18 years.  He truly is the most caring doctor I have ever seen.  He is well worth the 4.5 hour one way drive to see.  You are under the best care with Dr. Wash.  A one of a kind physician. 	5	4	5	5 
45	1	Thank you Dr. Wash. You are truly a great and kind man. You make my doctor visits memorable 	5	5	5	5 
45	1	Dr. Wash is a very caring and genuine man who takes time to listen to his patients concerns. I was at a loss when my previous doctor retired. I didn't care for the doctor who replaced my previous doctor. I didn't know who to go to, until one day I had to make an appointment regarding a concern I had. Dr. Wash was the only doctor available that day. All what I can say, it was the luckiest day of my life. I had a very good feeling at that appointment, which made me comfortable enough to ask him if he would take me on as a regular patient. He was very willing. Dr. Wash is very thorough and helped me through a difficult time, but made sure that I saw the proper specialists to get to the bottom of my problem. He was very reasuring and helped put my mind at ease. Dr. Wash, you are a great doctor thank you for your help. 	4	4	5	5 
45	1	Dr. Wash is a respectful, remarkably kind practicioner who is very knowledgeagle about his profession. I have personally watched him care for an aging relative at home. He is a doctor without social or racial borders. 		4	5	4 
45	1	Dr. Wash stands for excellence in patient care. A true gentleman that is most honorable in his profession. Excellent work, Dr. Wash. 		5	5	5 
45	1	How fortune I am to to have such a wonderful doctor. He truly cares about his patients ,and goes to every extreme to insure that his patients get the care and help that they require. He's a keeper! signed &quot;lucky patient&quot; 		5	5	5 
45	1	Caught my lung cancer early thru a routine X-ray and mor than likely saved my life 		5	5	5 
45	1	My doctor for 17yrs. Couldnt ask for better. Anyone to have Dr Wash as a doctor should consider themselves lucky. 		4	5	5 
45	1	Love this doctor he is a very caring doctor. I would recommend him to anyone! 		5	5	5 
45	1	Dr. Wash is excellent. He is very genuine; efficient but doesn't appear rushed with the patient. He has even called me at home to followup with my problem. Don't ever retire! 		4	5	5 
45	1	I would never want a better Dr. He is so kind and caring!!!! 		5	5	5 
45	1	Dr.Wash is a very special DR. He is the only one who treats you like a person rather then a pay check. He listens and actually cares what you have to say. He has a great sense of humor . Bravo Dr.Wash you are the best. 		5	5	5 
45	1	Fantasic! Finally, a doctor of doctors. He listens, and communicates on a realistic level. The world needs more doctors like this! 		5	5	5 
46	1	Punctual and very knowledgeable.  Made me feel at ease and was able to help with my problems 	3	5	5	5 
47	1	Dr Waraner is a kind compassionate Doctor. Always has time to listen to you and has good diagnostic skills. very methodical in his examinations. 		5	5	5 
48	1	Dr Walley knows her stuff, so much so that she has a set way of proceeding with the appointment and going through information and does not like to vary from it.  This set way did not allow for many questions or any discussion.  I was fully versed on the first step of treatment, and told the next two would be explained at a later date, I found that unacceptable and would not agree to treatment until everything was explained.  After being told we had up to 4hrs for the appointment we felt rushed out at only 1, lots of questions related to the overall process, like pain control options, vitamins, etc. simply were not answered.    Her Nurse is the worse problem, abrupt, inacurate and rude on the phone, I advise following up on all her work to make sure nothing is missed. 	1	5	2	5 
48	-1	Dr. Whalley did not answer my questions. Her assistants were immature, rude and inconsiderate.  I was grilled for almost 3 hours as a consultation the same questions that I had been asked 2 years ago for my leukemia.  In regards to my breast cancer, I had a grapefruit size seroma that wasn't addressed, but they set a date a week away for the drain to be put back in.  Yet in less than 24 hours someone called me for a &quot;mental Health&quot; follow up...of which may have been the result of someone's innaccurate observations about my frustration level at this point.  Dr. Whalley or &quot;someone&quot; sent in a social worker whose hygiene and health were questionable and she proceeded to &quot;psychologize&quot; me and reduced me to tears...A few minutes later, she literally bolted from the cubicle without a word Dr. Whalleys assistants constantly watching the time, I was told repeatedly that she had a plane to catch...when I did meet Dr. Whalley I did Not like her &quot;manner&quot; or rather lack of manners at all.... 	1	1	1	2 
48	0	I agree with previous raters that Dr. Walley's bedside manner left a lot to be desired.  We had a lot of questions as one would expect and, instead of taking the time to answer them, she told us that the nurse would answer those questions (who in turn told us that our questions would be answered when treatment begins).  In these kind of medical cases where fear and anxiety are prominent, Dr. Walley did nothing to ease either of these. 	5	5	2	3 
48	0	Our experience with Dr. Walley has left us a little baffled sometimes.   She is certainly not the most compassionate doctor we've dealt with lately.  When we meet with her she is rushed and never takes much time to explain anything.   An oncology doctor not matter how busy should take  time with patients and families. 	3	3	3	3 
48	1	I found Dr Walley the best!!!she seemed very caring and informative with me and another relative who also had her for their oncologist.  Her caring manner was one of cheerfulness positiveness, I have also recommended her to others because of this 	4	3	5	5 
48	1	Dr. Walley was very caring and knowledgable during my care at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre. She took charge of my care and I credit her for my being a 5 year survivor... 		4	5	5 
48	-1	this doctor was the oncologist in charge of my sister's care. She refused to return my sister's phone calls when issues arose, she refused to answer any correspondence with our family doctor and her office staff was beside themselves trying to get her to return the calls. When another oncologist was able to see my sister, his simply said 'I'm sorry, this has just been left for too long'. This is truly unforgiveable and unacceptable. I hope the people in Alberta have better satisfaction with her. We found her to be a very arrogant and uncaring doctor and perhaps has chosen the wrong career. 		1	1	1 
48	-1	Dr. Walley was very rude during our meeting and left 2-3 times to take phone calls during my appointment. It was clear she didn't respect the decisions I had made to pursue alternative treatments. She was not understanding or compassionate, and was incredibly negative. She suggested chemo before surgery, I declined. After the surgery, (full mastectomy and one centinal node removed), it was found I had a very rare form of cancer that does not respond well to chemo. The oncologist I did use said if the biopsy's had shown that form of cancer, rather than invasive ductal carcinoma, chemo would not have been a treatment suggested. My body was strong due to alternative treatments, I was back to work and ballroom dancing within 5 weeks of the surgery! I sincerely hope that Dr. Walley's treatment of me was just due to her disagreement of the form of treatments I chose, and that she doesn't carry this incredibly negative &quot;doomsayer&quot; attitude to all of her patients. 		4	1	1 
48	1	Dr Walley is very knowledgable and considerate. 		4	5	5 
49	1	Out of all the dental offices I have visited in the past, Dr. Wasik's office was the most intuned to my comfort and well being. They really wanted me to be involved in my dental health and educated me on what was happening in my mouth, why it was happening and the options available to fix it. I really felt they had time for me and that I wasn't just another patient. Oh! one more thing...needles are not my favourite thing, it is the part I hated most about going to the dentist before, but when I went to get a cavity fixed in Dr. Wasik's chair - I didn't even realize he gave me a needle - I couldn't believe it! 	5	5	5	5 
49	-1	Expensive and poor quality care - very pretentious and self-satisfied dentist. Don't be fooled by other good reviews. 	2	2	2	2 
49	1	Very pleased with the services provided by Dr. Wasik.  No complaints and would recommend him as a dentist to those I care about. 	 4/9/10	5	5	5
50	1	Dr. Ward is very knowledgable &amp; professional. I presented him with an uncommon condition and he was successful in treating it! 	3	4	5	5 
50	1	When I was in the emergency Wetaskiwin hospital, I had doctor Ward look after me that evening to the following morning, and I must say, doctor Ward is one of the best doctors I have yet seen.He is very knowledgeable and very kind.I will be going to him from now on.His staff is very helpful too. 	5	5	5	5 
50	1	Doctor Ward has really helped me I was down and needed a hand. Thanks for being there when I needed a good Doctor who cares :) 	4	4	5	5 
51	1	Very good. Saw him for about 17 years and he was very good to me. I realy wish I could find another doctor like him. 	5	5	5	5 
51	1	Doctor Walker is the kindest most compassionate physician I have ever seen.  I have been his patient for over 25 years. In that time he has been unfailing in his ability to diagnose or refer onto specialists as needed.  His reassurance and professionalism is balanced with an &quot;old country Doc&quot; approach which makes each of his patients feel special.  We will miss him terribly when he retires in June. 	5	4	5	5 
51	1	I have been a patient for 20 years.  He has been a GREAT doctor that always spends time with his patients (thus the &quot;not on time&quot;), but always worth it.  If he feels that something needs to be looked in to, he will always send you to a specialist.  I am sorry that he is retiring in June.  He will be missed by me and all of his patients. 	4	2	5	5 
51	1	I've been seeing Dr. Walker for the past 35 years. He's a wonderful doctor and I sure will miss him when he retires. 	5	3	5	5 
51	1	Dr. Walker is one of the best family physicians in Edmonton.  He has been my doctor for over 15 years.  Sometimes it is quite a wait to see the Dr. but all his patients know that once they see him, they will be given his undivided attention.  He is extremely knowledgable; having worked in the ER department at the U of A hospital for years, he has come across just about every condition.  He is warm, compassionate and understanding.  He listens to his patients .. he does not lord over them as the &quot;doctor&quot; like so many other doctors who think that the patient has nothing to contribute.  He is soon to retire and I don't know what I will do when that day comes. 	4	3	5	5 
51	1	Dr. Walker is very understanding and helpful and when you need to talk to him he is there to listen a 	5	5	5	5 
51	1	Dr. Walker is a very caring and willing to listen. 	4	4	5	5 
51	1	very good at easing stress and giving the right meds 	4	3	5	5 
51	1	Dr. Walker is a very kind and compassionate man yet I do not feel that he properly diagnoised my husbands condition, in fact, another doctor had a totally different treatment and diagnois that would have been more helpful in my opinion. 		4	4	3 
51	1	One great doctor kind understanding such a gentle person. Explains medications and directions very well. Actually injoy going to see my doctor.Always leave the office feeling better than when I went in 		3	5	5 
51	1	I can't say enough. He is a rare jewel. Wish I could clone him for every man, women and child. He is very understanding and very comforting. I always leave his office feeling better even when things aren't yet solved. Wonderful personality. 	 3/22/07		3	5
51	1	Very thorough MD.Always provides clarity on medical issues and has the patients best interest. 		4	5	5 
52	1	She is awsome my family loves seeing her because drugs are not always her 1st prescription! Will listen to you and help you. 	5	2	4	4 
52	1	Simply amazing doctor, takes care of our whole family, we are not sure what we will do when she retires she is one of a kind. 	4	4	5	5 
52	-1	Dr. Waymouth is NEVER on time. She's refused me tests that another doctor performed, which led to a diagnosis of a disease she would have detected, had she bothered to listen to her patients requests. I don't recommend her or her staff, unless you have an hour to wait each time you visit her. I honestly dont even know why she takes appointments as in TEN YEARS she has not been on time once. 	2	1	2	2 
52	1	Dr. Waymouth has been my family doctor and is amazing... she has seen me through everything. 	5	4	5	5 
52	1	Dr. Waymouth is a wonderful caring Dr.  She keeps a close check on your health, and sends you to the best Specialists when and if you need it.  I was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and she was very caring and concerned.  I am so thankfurl to have her as my Doctor. 	5	5	5	5 
52	1	Dr. Pat Waymouth is an exceptional doctor and human being. She has saved my life through knowledgeable and prompt action on breast cancer and I am forever in her debt. As her patient for over 20 years, I feel blessed to have her on my health wall of honour. Insurance:Blue Cross / Blue Shield	5	4	5	5 
52	1	Dr. Waymouth has been my doctor for the last 15 years. She is very kind and never makes you feel like you are just another number. 		5	5	5

52	1	Dr. Waymouth has been our family doctor for the past 17 years. She is a very kind person and we trust her judgement. 		4	5	5 
52	1	Has been our family doctor for about 15 years. She is knowledgeable, understanding and listens. Sends you for the required tests if something is wrong and if that does not answer the question, she refers very quickly to a specialist. I am very concerned about finding another female doctor as good as Dr. Pat when she retires. Good doctors are hard to find in Calgary and having one like Dr. Pat makes you realize how lucky you are. She is a gem. 		5	5	5 
52	1	Has been my doctor for over 10 years - fantastic doctor. Always completely honest with me - doesn't pull any punches, which I appreciate. Very competent, very knowledgable - and ALWAYS listens to what I am saying - which is a great thing for me. 		5	5	5 
52	1	Dr. Pat is now my daughters doctor and was my mothers doctor until she recently passed. She is fabulous and deserves every commendation to the profession. I am so glad she consented to take my daughter on as a patient. She knows when and how to get you into a specialist. I have every confidence in her judgement. 		5	5	5 
52	1	Dr. Waymouth is very punctual. She has a good knowledge base and is excellent at explaining things you need to know related to your health. Dr. Waymouth is very approachable and listens to concerns. I am very happy to have her as my family physician. 		5	5	5 
52	1	Dr. Waymouth has proved herself to be a knowledgeable and helpful physician. She accepted my care knowing full on of the problems I had had with my previous experiences. She listens to her patients concerns, provides thorough care and investigates into any concerns as required. Her staff are also kind, knowledgeable, puntual and polite. I fully trust in her competency and respect her as a person. 		5	5	5

52	1	Dr Pat is such a terrific doctor. She has helped me through some hard times. Very good listener and very patient with me. She has looked after my kids through the years and they all love her as well. You can tell she cares about her patients. 		5	5	5 
52	1	I liked the fact that Dr. Waymouth understood my fears and helped me to work through them to get the tests required and was pleasant throughout. One did not feel as though she didn't have time to spend with you and was pushing you out the door in order to get to the next patient. 		4	5	5 
52	1	Dr. Waymoth is fantastic. She makes you feel comfortable, she is thorough and she pays attention. Always asks the right questions and you never walk away without an answer. Couldn't ask for a better Doctor. 		4	5	5

53	1	Dr. Warneke is a wonderful doctor whom I have known for 12 years. He combines observation, questions, help with understanding your situation, recommends support groups for you and your loved ones, and genuinely cares for you making you feel like you are his only patient. He works horrendously long hours and is rarely more than ten minutes behind schedule. Wherever I see him in the Grey Nuns Hospital, he is always smiling and happy to see me. Like all of his patients, he changed my the quality of my life and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude. He is internationally recognized in his area of specialism, gender disorders and has helped so many people, myself included, to discover their authentic self. He has a wonderful team at the hospital and his private office and I cannot recommend him high enough. He is A1 all the way. 	 2/23/12	5	5	5
53	1	Dr. W has been soooo helpful. I'm not sure where I would be in this day and age with out him. He helped me a lot and treated me right. 	5	5	5	5

I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon, he is a special invidual with a heart of gold and would be greatly missed. From D H long time OCD patient. Seen you soon Dr. Warnake 	5	5	5	5 
53	1	Dr. Warneke is the best doctor I have ever had. He is compassionate and knowledgeable. He goes above and beyond any expectation I have ever had of a doctor.  He may not always be on time, but when you see him he listens and is respectful. Dr. Warneke changed my life and help me move forward. I have not seen him in a few years now, but if I needed I know I could contact him. 	 7/13/09	1	1	5
53	1	I've been a patient of Dr Warneke for about 5 years now. I find him to be very easy to talk to, very eager to help, and always ready to answer questions. He's compassionate and friendly, and I have had a completely positive experience with him. He has helped me to become the person I was always meant to be, and has given me the tools to succeed in my new life as a whole person. Thank you Dr. Warneke! 	5	3	5	5 
53	1	I have been a patient of Dr. Warneke's for a number of years.  He was instrumental in helping me with a severe depression and anxiety after my divorce.  Unfortunately, several years later I was raped during the daytime by a stranger.  Dr. Warneke was available to help immediately and guided me through the healing process as well as dealing with various lawyers throughout a civil lawsuit.  He went above and beyond to assist me in these unfortunate times.  I respect and admire his abilities, patience and knowledge in explaining symptoms and medications and in making recommendations and referrals to further advance my health.  There is an element of security in knowing that there is such a professional who would address any issues a patient may have in a timely and competant manner.  I am further impressed by his commitment to his community.  He is a reasearcher, lecturer and has been a guest on television to answer any medical queries.  He is a definite asset to the medical profession. 	5	3	5	5 
53	1	I have to say that out of the many psychiatrist, psychologist and therapist that I've seen throughout my lifetime that Dr. W. has been such a blessing as he's the only one to look at the whole picture and give me a correct diagnoses. He's a very kind and caring man and quite knowledgable in all aspects of the human psyche as mine is a rare disease yet he was able to pick up on it. This world needs more doctors like him and please don't let that one persons remark sway you from getting the help that you need. I can attest to the fact that his comments were blatent lies and don't know why he felt the need to air his problem and try and put a bad mark onto this good mans name. You've read how he has saved other lives and he definitely saved mine and continues to fight my disease with me so I can live as comfortable as possible. 	 5/24/07		4	5
53	1	I first saw Dr. Warneke in the early eighties and felt he may have saved my life as I had no idea what was wrong with me. He diagnozed my problem after about 10 minutes and prescribed appropriate treatment. Although busy he always returned my phone calls and I found him compassionate and understanding. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone else. 		4	5	5 
53	1	Have been with this Dr for over 30 years.. He saved my life by being there when I had no one. This man is very very understanding and listens and helps by consulting his peers as well as gives any material he may have to help. I trust him totally and would highly recommend him to anyone. He is a very caring Doctor who shows that he loves his job and cares about people by all the hard work he does and always takes his time and never ever hurries you out of his office.. Thank You Dr. Warneke for being there when I need you and for others as well.. 		5	5	5 
53	-1	After a sexual assault, my GP referred me to Dr Warnake to discuss panic attacks that I was having, along with depression. Dr Warnake treated me as the proverbial nutty patient in the loony bin. He was completely condescending and degrading and never once made eye contact with me. Rather than seeing me as a person, he treated me like a robot and created cocktails of medications that made my body feel extremely horrible. When I told him my heart began racing with them, he would try to increase the dose. To make matters worse, he'd skip appointments all together or be so late, that I'd miss other things going on in my life. I finally began seeing a new psychiatrist, who got me off all of the medications prescribed by Dr Warnake, and also got me involved with a psychologist to actually deal with my problems. I'm feeling much better, no thanks to Dr Warnake! I sure hope others don't have the same experience and if they do, I hope they can find someone better! 		1	1	3

54	1	A much missed General Practitioner, who know more about most things than most specialists. 	5	5	5	5 
54	1	I miss having Dr. Watson as our family doctor.  He knew all five of us and looked after us for 12 or so years.  Since he stopped the family practice, I have had 2 doctors, and the family has been unable to find a doctor who will accept all five of us. Because he understood the family relationships, he knew how problems of one affects the others. Please come back Steve. 	5	3	5	5 
54	1	Dr. Watson is the best doctor ever. I became very sick after my first daughter was born and he was so compassionate and kind. He was always willing to see me and even had his nurses phone to see how I was doing. It was a very sad day for me and my family when he closed his practice but I sure wish him all the best. He was a real life saver and I will be forever greateful to have had him as my doctor. 		4	5	5 
54	1	Dr Watson delivered both of our children. He is the best !!!!! He always reassured me that our childrens progress and my feelings were quite normal. He made me feel most comfortable and was always there with an encouraging word when I needed. He was our Shining Knight in armour. I am so grateful for him. Sad to hear he quit his practise. 		4	5	5 
54	1	Dr. Watson delivered 3 out of our 4 children and was a tremendouse help to us when our oldest son was born with spina bifida. He was so understanding and so kind! I wondered if he was still practicing and see now that he has closed his practice. Steve, if you read this, you're the best! Hi from Ben and family! 		4	5	5 
54	1	Dr Watson is the best Dr my family has ever had. We were introduced to him through our midwives. He was one of the few Dr's that supported midwifery. He always had the time to listen and make you feel like your concerns were valid. We are so sad that he has closed his practice. 		5	5	5 
55	1	Dr Natalie Ward is by far the VERY BEST and most knowledgeable Physician I have ever met! She is genuinely concerned about the well being of her patients. The Staff in the office are very helpful and accomodating. Mike Rae - Calgary 	 12/8/11	5	5	5
55	1	I adore Dr. Ward.  She has been my attending physician for my last two pregnancies.  She is succinct and to the point which would, I'm sure, annoy some people but I appreciate her definitiveness and trust her opinion explicitly. Not the case for every doctor I have encountered. She is a realist and doesn't try and sugar coat the issue however she was open to my concerns when I raised them. You need to know what you want to talk about when you enter the room or she will be there and gone before you have time to beat around the bush. This means she is always on time and often early for appointments. 	 11/29/11	5	5	4
55	1	I have been at this clinic since I was born (Dr. darling actually delivered me) and Dr. Ward is by far the best Dr. I have ever seen. She is knowledgeable, always on time, kind, and efficient. She stays current in all topics and she was actaully able to find a condition that no other doctors was able to find (or give the time and energy to find) She is an amazing Doctor and I very much appreciate everything she has done for me and my family (as we all see her and love her!) 	 3/25/11	3	5	5
55	0	I found Dr. Ward to be extremely rushed and impersonal. She was quick to talk about medical intervention when dealing with my pregnancy. She seemed annoyed when my husband and I asked too many questions (we wanted to keep our pregnancy and delivery as natural as possible, and she seemed pretty geared toward only the medical aspects of pregnancy). I felt she treated my pregnancy like a medical condition instead of a natural, normal part of life. I will not be seeing Dr. Ward in future pregnancies. 	3	5	3	3 
55	1	I can't say enough good things about Natalie Ward. I keep reading comments about her being impersonal..but I've never experienced that. She's always been extremely helpful and friendly - even calling after hours to give me test results and follow up. I've always found her to be open to opinions and discussion however NO Dr in Calgary has 30 minutes to spend with a patient anymore. Every single experience with her has been pleasant and reassuring. 	4	5	5	5 
55	1	Dr Ward has looked after me when i was pregnant almost 2.5y ago and I'd say i was really happy with the overall quality of care i've received. I feel that she was rushed at her clinic appointments, but so unrushed at the hospital on the other hand. I'd definately recommend her. 	 11/30/09	5	5	5
55	1	Doctor Ward is amazing. I met her at the Primary Care Network when I was pregnant with my son, who is know 6 months old. She followed me through my whole pregnany and was with me at the hospital during my c-section. My husband and I are very upset because we are expecting again, and cannot have Dr Ward as our doctor again. She is such a caring person, and a lot of fun. 	5	5	5	5 
55	1	I showed up for my appointment on time, checked in and sat down.  I was not one paragraph into my magazine, and I was called in to see the doctor.  Within 3 minutes of waiting in the room, Dr. Ward came in and addressed my issues.  Great doctor, great service. 	5	5	5	5 
55	1	Dr.Ward was the doctor who was there with me and my husband when my son was born at 24 weeks premature, she was so kind, strong and helpful through the whole process, I could not have got through it without her. She even took the time to visit my son in the NICU throughout his stay, she is a wonderful person and a great Doctor. 	4	5	4	4 
55	1	Love Dr. Ward, but I loved Dr. Cribb, and Dr. Darling. They are all different, but each had their very best qualities, and so does Dr. Ward.  This Dr. has been a blessing to me. She has treated me with the utmost respect and courtesy. She has been very patient, knowledgeable, supportive,and courteous. She was unbelievably helpful with my son,diagnosing his problem quickly and efficiently. He loves her too by the way. I enjoy the fact that I can count on getting in and out of my appt. on time. I don't understand the negative comments, and I would HIGHLY recommend this Dr. to EVERYBODY, except the people who aren't happy with anything and are always looking for something to complain about. We were so lucky to have Dr. Ward assume Dr. Cribb's practice. 	5	5	5	5 
55	1	I feel that Dr. Ward is getting an unfair evalutaion from people whom have seen Dr. Cribb and before that Dr. Darling as I have. It is normal to form an attachment to your doctor and losing both of these great doctors was hard. I however think that Dr. Ward is fabulous! I enjoyed having her for my doctor for my second pregnancy. She was as excited as I was about my baby and made sure I was taken care of at the hospital. She also was very supportive of a situation I was going though and called me at home to see how I was doing. I trust her, because she acts like a real person. Not just a doctor. Thanks for that Dr. Ward! 	5	5	5	5 
55	1	Dr. Ward was diligent in reading my file and checking my family history. As a result, even though the basic tests done as part of an annual check up were not very unusual, she sent me for some further tests that idenfied cancer in an early stage which can be treated with a high percentage of success.  If she had not done that my situation could have ended up to be much worse.  She followed up personally by phone and was very personable, sympathetic and helpful. 	5	5	5	4 
55	1	Dr Ward is the best doctor I could have ever asked for. I suffer with severe anxiety and during my pregnancy it became more and more severe. At one point I needed to switch my care to her due to a horrible experience with another doctor. She has gone above and beyond her duties as a doctor. Dr Ward went out of her way to see me immediately every appointment, explained everything to me and took time out of her day to notify me personally with any and all test/ultrasound results. I needed to have an emergency induction that resulted in a c-section and she spent that morning calling every unit that I would be in giving them specific instructions for my care. I would recommend Dr Ward to any expectant mother for Maternity care, I'm actually rather upset that my care with her is complete. She is absolutely the most caring, compassionate and helpful Dr I have come across. 	5	5	5	5 
55	1	she was the most comforting and calming doctor that I could have asked for. She helped me a lot when I was a crazy pregnant woman!All I can say is thank youfor all you do! 	5	4	5	5 
55	1	My wife has been seeing Dr. Ward as her maternity doctor for several months, and all I can say is wow! If you're able to see Dr. Ward in her office on Southport Rd. your experience will be fantastic (unfortunately the admin and nursing staff at the maternity centres in Calgary can be terrible). Dr. Ward was the first doctor we have ever had an appointment with THAT WAS EARLY!! She treats you like a human, not like just another patient. Most doctors have a very clinical opinion of maternity, but Dr. Ward makes a very sincere effort to relate to you on a personal level. She is FANTASTIC! 	5	5	5	5 
55	-1	I am a patient of Dr Safran (whom I LOVE!!!) but had to go to Dr. Ward when having my first child. Both my husband & I were EXTREMELY unhappy with Dr. Wards bedside manner. We found that she was alway in a rush to complete our appts. & never seemed interested in discussing anything with us. She spend more time in our appointments duscussing her weekend plans(bbq's/field hockey etc). As first time parents we wanted more knowledge on what to be expecting & was happening throughout our trimesters & we felt that she had zero interest in assisting us. Also I was very sick throughout my pregnancy and I felt she never took me serious when I would try to explain how bad I was feeling & my lack of ability to eat. I will not be going back to her when we decide to have another child. 	2	2	1	1 
55	1	I have been a patient in this Dr.'s office since I was a child I have been a patient of Dr. Darling and Dr.Cribb and was happy with the care I received from both. I feel that the care myself and my family receive from Dr. Ward is above and beyond the care I received from the others. She is kind, knowledgeable and is very proactive. She is absolutely wonderful with kids as well. 	3	5	5	5 
55	-1	failed to follow up on a serious symptom to a serious illness.  my trust has been greatly damaged. 	2	3	1	2 
55	1	I just want to say that there are no words to express the thankfullness I have for Dr. Ward, for as many problems I have, she allways has her best foot forward. 	5	5	5	5 
55	1	I also am a former patient of Dr. Cribbs (and before that Dr. Darling).  Although I have always been disappointed when the other 2 doctors have moved on.  I've always been more than happy with their replacements.  Dr. Ward has done WAY more than I ever would have expected from and over worked, underpaid Canadian health care professional.  The care provided to me by her has way exceeded my expectations.  I had to have my annual physical in the States this year as I was taking a course there.   And for only $1200 a( wonderful) doctor spent an hour with me covering everything that Dr. Ward did previously.  Dr. Ward was able to do everything this American doctor did in a caring and efficient  manner.  We can bet Dr. Ward was not paid $1200 by ABHC.  I think all of the people who are upset here should realize how lucky they are to have her working in Canada instead of getting rich in the States.  Our battle is with our government, not this committed, wonderful doctor. 	5	4	5	5 
55	-1	Dr. Ward is cold, abrupt, and did not check my past medical records when she prescribed something incorrectly.  She is unwilling to listen to questions and seems to have the attitude that she knows best, with no consideration for what a patient feels or chooses.  Perhaps she would be better as a researcher where she would not have to deal with patients personally. 	3	3	1	2 
55	-1	I find her 'bedside' manner to be rough and cold. My husband has no problems with her, but the rest of my family has had to learn to be stern about what they want from her as a medical professional. She left the room once to print a prescription but didn't tell me why/where she was going - I ended up finishing a bad appointment by leaving without waiting for her to come back. I kind of thought she was done - I was upset, so I left. I've seen her locum on Mondays or Thursdays ever since. I'm not really looking forward to her being my maternity doctor someday. 	4	4	2	2 
55	-1	unhelpful in being able to direct me through my medical issues and referral to the appropriate specialists. 	2	4	2	2 
55	-1	Dr. Ward needs to learn how to listen to her patients prior to prescribing.  I went into her office with an issue, requested a referral to a specialist, and was handed a prescription and was told that there was no need -- even though Dr. Cribb had told me that she'd be happy to refer me after the birth of our first child.  We are quite thrilled to have a new family doctor now... 	2	3	1	3 
55	-1	I find Dr. Ward extremely impersonal, inexperienced, pompous, and unreasonably defensive.  I shared a similar experience with other reviewers, where she did not take the time to look at my past history, and quickly prescribed something that turned out to be incorrect.  It appears she has no time to listen to her patients, and even stated to me that the older patients don't care for her because she is not about to spend 30 minutes with them like Dr. Cribb used to.  I have found her distant and not willing to be questioned regarding certain treatments. 	3	2	1	2 
55	1	Having seen both Dr Cribb and Dr Ward (and Dr Darling before them), I find Dr Ward to be pleasant and helpful, but very junior.  She had to use her binder to give me pretty basic information about my (relatively common) condition.  I do think she has great potential though.  I am very thankful that she personally phones with test results and will discuss them over the phone. 	3	4	4	3 
55	1	Dr. Ward is by far, an amazingly gifted Doctor. She brings trust, knowledge, and caring into her practice. My 17yr.old daughter, son 14yrs, as well as myself are very fortunate to have her as our family caregiver. 	5	5	5	5 
55	0	Dr. Ward took over for Dr. Alina Cribb.  Alina was an amazing doctor with an amazing attitude and who was very proactive and personable.  Dr. Ward did not even take the time to review my file when I came in for an appointment.  She assumed I was pregnant with my third child (I have no idea why).  If she would have read my file she would have know I have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years and during this time have lost a child at 19 weeks. I also had a miscarriage at 6 weeks.  All this, she would have know if she took time to read my chart. She is very impersonal and does not take the time to get to know her patients.  She is a great dissapointment after seeing Alina for 9 years.  I truly hope she starts educating herself about her patients because with the need for more doctors in Calgary, we do not have many choices on who we see. 	3	3	3	3 
55	-1	Dr. Ward took over from Dr. Alina Cribb who left on a one year sabbatical mid year 2007. We have found Dr. Ward knowledgable but impersonal, abrasive, judgmental and rushed. Doesn't know/study family histories nor follows through consistently. She had a resident doing medicals without being present. Prescriptions are written before knowing whether they are warranted. We have been patients since the clinic opened and have witnessed many changes, most of which are not in the best interests of either the patient or doctor.  The staff have the same demeanor as Dr. Ward.  As patients we're faced with seeing signs that read: abuse of staff will not be tolerated...how about abusive staff will not be tolerated&#63;&#63;&#63;...the patient doesn't have any rights or say in their potential treatment without being deemed abusive or unknowledgable. My family has a long history practicing medicine, we're embarassed by the professionalism in this office and the total lack of respect. 	1	4	1	3 
55	1	I would like to thank Dr. Ward for her fast and accurate action plan. She know exacly what to look for and what tests to have done. She went out of her way to call me after hours. I do appreciate what you did for me. 		4	5	5 
56	1	At first she seems a little cold but she's not, just serious and that's not a bad thing in a doctor. Not judgmental or dismissive; she's willing to keep working with you to find out what the problem and work on a solution. 	 7/6/11	5	5	5
56	1	I had an appointment booked with Dr Sweigers and because she was running an hour behind, Dr Wanner saw us right away because she wasn't busy. I explained to her my problem and she spent a great deal of time with me and my husband and referred me to another Dr. I wish I could have her as my Family Doctor!! 	4	5	5	5 
56	1	Dr. Wanner has been the most thorough doctor I have ever had. She helps me understand issues concerning my health and the clinic she is with has the most wonderful staff I have ever had to communicate with. 	5	5	5	5 
56	1	Excellent Doctor.  Others should take a few pointers from her.  I will miss her for the next year while she is on mat leave.  A++++++++++ 	5	5	5	5 
56	1	Dr Wanner is a great Dr. she is very thorough and won't prescribe anything for you without going through a complete history.  I wish there were more doctors like her that would actually take the time to know you and not just rush from one patient to the next. 	5	4	5	5 
56	-1	How can a person have the heart not to help one of her patients that is in need of help with addiction to prescription narcotic drugs&#63;&#63;  Who prescribed them, how do you miss the warning signs&#63;&#63;  Do you not realize that after being on prescription narcotics that long and going cold turkey with nothing can make a person very ill, you have to wean off.  This lady needs a different profession,,, maybe being a vet would best suit her. 	1	1	1	1 
56	1	was on time, asked a lot of questions, used modern means of recording everything. Even thought she is quite young, she knows what she is doing and is still very interested in her job, unlike some doctors who just write a perscription and say see ya! 		5	5	5 
56	1	Saw this Dr at walk in, very thorough, actually took a history, sent for tests, before anything was prescribed. Genuine concern for my condition. Once the test results were received, treated me accordingly and actually did follow-up. Most doctors should take a lesson from Dr Wanner, actually find out what is wrong with the patient before throwing prescriptions to the patient hoping this will help. Thank You Dr Wanner, keep up the good work! 		4	5	5 
56	1	Absolutely Incredible, young, down to earth. Takes the time to help answer questions about things that are so important to you...a lot of other Dr's don't have the &quot;time&quot;. 		5	5	5 
57	1	Dr. Watkins replaced my regular doctor while on vacation and she was very helpful and very thorough. She explained everything so even I could understand it! She recommended a couple of tests and was very warm and friendly. A great physician! 	5	5	5	5 
57	1	Friendly, caring and full of knowledge. I used to be seen in the clinic by the urologist specialist - Dr. Kevin Carlson and would leave crying but after seeing Dr. Watkins, I walked out of there smiling and happy. She truly cares about her patients and is interested in their health. She actually made eye contact and made sure I understood the next steps of my health care.If going to the Alberta Bladder centre, ask to see her!!!! 	5	5	5	5 
58	1	After suffering many years with severe psoriasis, Dr. Wasel changed my life.  Tears actually well up every time I think about what he's done for me.  It took some time to find the best treatment for me, but Dr. Wasel never gave up.  There are many negative comments referring to clinical trials.  Well, that is how they find treatment and cures.  If no one stepped up to the plate, how would we ever advance&#63; I did participate in one of the trials, and it was the best decision I ever made.  And does anyone really think doctors should spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and sacrifice time with their families in order to obtain an advanced, specialized education to be able to treat you for free&#63;  Really&#63;  I find Dr. Wasel to be a kind man, but even if he weren't, it wouldn't matter.  I don't want him to hold my hand; I want him to fix me.  For psoriasis treatment, I have recommended Dr. Wasel to everyone, and I will continue to do so.  My clear skin is the only proof anyone needs. 	 4/16/12	5	5	5
58	1	I called to set up an appointment and was seen the following day. The receptionist was very friendly and helped me fill out all the paperwork. A nurse asked about my psoriasis and gave me plenty of time to tell her about my condition. Dr Wasel was on time and was very sympathetic. He offered me a list of possible medications and told me suggested light therapy (which is free. I only saw him for about five minutes. I felt as though I had enough time to see him and go through any questions. Doctors are there to help you, not listen as you ramble on. I am very excited to continue treatment with Dr. Wasel 	 12/6/11	5	5	5
58	1	I have been to see Dr Wassel twice and both times he was very courteous and solved my problems right away. I will definitely be going back to him if I have any further problems. 	 5/26/11	5	5	5
58	-1	Dr. Wassel is only about the money.  Went to him for excessive sweating and was given hundreds of botox injections at $300 a vial.  He kept the remainder of the fluid in his pocket instead of disposing it with the needles, no doubt to use up the rest on my dime.  Took his oral medication too only to find out that what caused the sweating was an intolerance to CAFFEINE !!!!  when i discovered this on my own and told him about it he simply said - oh ok.  Nothing else about it after 3 years of treatments that cost me a fortune and a lot of stress.  I suspect he also does the bare minimum so that his patients continue to return to him again and again instead of a one time treatment.  He always mentions to re-book if necessary - its always been necessary!  Not many options for a dermatologist - go to Calgary if you can for treatment!!! 	 1/21/11	4	4	1
58	-1	Horrible!!! I saw him for my psoriasis. I was put on infliximab and had a terrible reaction. I almost died was hospitalized for 15 days. My follow up visit he recomeded a smaller doseage of infliximab. I told him this was absolutely not an option then he told me &quot;well then how can I help you&quot;. He then tried to push me towards his latest clinical trial. This man only cares about money and is an awful doctor. Just stay away your probally better off at the medi center. 	1	1	1	1 
58	1	Very knowledgeable and efficient.  Friendly and perhaps a little shy. Removed moles and skin tags quickly without having to book return visits. 	 6/24/10	5	4	5
58	-1	HORRIBLE DOCTOR!!! AVOID AT ALL COST! Took my 5 year old to see him after he had been scratching his back over a year and my GP couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. What a big mistake going to this guy! He didn't even get my son to take off his shirt to examine the area and I had to suggest to him if he actually wanted to see the rash! I lifted up his shirt and his sliding stool inched it's way closer to the door. He looked for half a second, said it was eczyma and told me to put some vitamin e cream on it (after I had told him that that wasn't working and that was why we had been sent to him!!) and then he rolled himself out of the office and started talking about his personal life with his nurses! I didn't even get a chance to ask him for a follow up! not that I would ever go back! This guy must have gotten his degree off a milk carton! 	 5/27/10	1	4	1
58	-1	He who took a very quick look at me and claimed that the brown patches on my back were the result of acne then proceeded to recommend accutane.  I was a bit skeptical of his diagnosis as I suspected that it was eczema and when I proceeded to ask him a closer look he insisted that it was acne. With years of education and experience I took his word for it. I was not informed of the full set of side effects until I researched on my own and decided to cancel my order of the drug. The next time I went to see him was to talk about my back again and this time he said it was simply eczema. Obviously, this person does not take the time to take a close look and make a proper diagnosis. He just randomly prescribes the drugs with no regard for their potential side effects. I would NEVER tell anyone to go to him. You're better off diagnosing yourself. 	 5/7/10	3	3	1
58	-1	Was not a good experience and will not go back.  Cared more about making money.  Three minutes is not enough time to properly treat a patient.  I won't be referring anyone I know to this Dr. 	 3/24/10	1	1	1
58	-1	After 4 courses of topical steroids and a full yr with my skin condition he told me to wait another 3 to 6 months to see if anything would happen.He is oblivious to the fact the treatments are not helping and that there may be an alternative to his diagnosis. Of course it is difficult to investigate an anomaly when you only spend 3 to 5 minutes with a patient and ridicule their concerns. 	 12/16/09	4	4	1
58	1	I was very impressed. As with all Doctors, he is not there to hear life stories. He is there to treat your skin condition. I like the fact that he is there to treat skin conditions and not just to do cosmetic surgery. I went to another Dermatologist who prescribed over $200.00 in medications a month and it did nothing but when I went back I was told to keep up the medication because my psoriasis did not happen overnight and would not go away overnight. Dr Wasel started me on light therapy and my skin is looking amazing and I did not have to pay a dime. He was also very happy to see that my skin was improving. Doctors do not have the time to be your friend, they need to address the problem you are there for. 	 8/17/09	5	5	4
58	-1	I saw him for psoriasis which covered 75% of the palms on my hands and feet. He was not sympathetic and he rushed me, but a lot of specialists are like that. He did not ask me any questions to try and figure out my history (other than the form I filled out in the waiting room), what kind of psoriasis I had, or why I had it&#63;! He gave me 3 options: first I couldn't afford ($20k/yr), second I couldn't do if I ever want to have kids, and the third was just a stronger steriod cream I could have gotten from my family doctor. He gave me a book (that taught me nothing new) and the cream and my appointment was over. I sat in my truck and cried for two hours in the parking lot before I could even drive. Dr. Wasel was a waste of my time/money and mentally I felt a million times worse after seeing him. The cream worked mildly for only a couple weeks... not worth it! He might be a good dr if he wasn't so concerned with making money and trying to push expensive clinical trials with bad side effects! 	 6/28/09	4	4	1
58	1	Dr. Wasel...Dr. wasel... yes, he does have some odd idiosyncrasies about his personality. However, He is very knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously. Hes Gentle, kind and supportive, and although it has taken many attempts with numerous treatments, we have finally discovered one that works well for my own system. He never PUSHED any trial on me, merely suggested was might be appropriate given my particular brand of psoriasis. All the paperwork for insurance, Pharmaceuticals, and actual shots are taken care of expertly and efficiently by the research/nursing staff. I have never met any doctor that isn't a bit &quot;odd&quot; in some way, Possibly the price you pay in this profession for a wealth of knowledge. 	 5/21/09	4	3	4
58	-1	This guy is a joke. Not being able to get in with another dermatologist, I think the last 4 visits with him I have been in a room with him for a total of five minutes. Just tells me I have bad skin and I am doing all I can. I would like to see an oncologist tell me I have bad cancer, then take off. Really unfortunate when he cares more about his clinical trials than his patients. I am proud to be contributing to his Rolex fund. Find any other dermatologist if you can. If you can't, I am sorry for your pain. Just hope it is not as bad as mine. 	 5/13/09	1	3	1
58	-1	I remember this drug-peddler.  I was referred by my GP to have my eczema dealt with and after waiting for an hour he marched in with a student/resident in tow, asked 3 questions in succession without listening to the answers and proceeded to push his clinical trial for psoriasis (One:  I had ECZEMA, Two:  The list of potential side effects for this trial drug was unbelievable - hair loss! birth defects! nausea!  I'll stick with my eczema, thank you very much).  After turning down the trial I asked if there's any other possibilities he can suggest...he said NO (&quot;NO&quot;, a &quot;dermatologist&quot; had less knowledge than my GP!).  Obviously he's not interested in treating as much as he is in peddling his trials!  Also the comment that starts with &quot;I think Dr. Wasel is a wonderful doctor&quot; below seems awfully suspicious.  Doesn't it read like a doctor upset about comments more than a patient&#63;  I recommend that you listen to this free feedback from your patients rather than act like an offended child!! 	 4/6/09	1	2	1
58	-1	I thought this guy was the master of psoriasis with his trial studies and commercials.  What a joke.  I have severe psoriasis, and this guy could barely give me 5 minutes.  And forget about discussing anything.  All this guy wants to do is get you to pump pills into your body I know nothing about.  He didn't even explain what it was, side effects, how long I would need to take it, etc.  Furthermore, Wasel is weird.  He looks at you funny and is completely disinterested in anything you have to say.  I tried to crack a joke with him and he couldn't arch a lip.  What a total waste of my time. 	 3/31/09	1	2	1
58	-1	Dr.Wasel helped me get the prescription my family doctor suggested but he is definately a really odd guy. i've been to him a few times now and everytime he walks in puts his hand out weird and looks away as i shake his hand. he does not grasp your hand at all during the shake just holds it there limp. the one time he had a university student come in for the meeting and in a really quiet voice he says to the girl &quot;you see if he takes this prescription for too long he could develop hepatitis&quot;. This was my third time with him and this was the first time i heard him mention hepatitis and he doesnt even say it to my face... he is just a really odd guy. my mom and i call him Dr. Weasel, seems to suit him pretty well 	 2/18/09	4	4	2
58	1	Excellent doctor. My husband and daughter have seen him for everything from psoriasis to acne to skin tags and all times he has been great. He has spent a ton of time focusing on medical counselling and explaining all options. A stark contrast to what we received from other dermatologists. 	5	5	5	5 
58	-1	I was in there a total of 2 minutes with him in the room. I waited fot 10 by myself in the room. No help at all. My GP was more help then him. It was big waste of time. And, sadly it is about something that I need to take care of becasue I have to deal with it everyday of my life and I truly needed help. Thanks for nothing! 	4	3	1	1 
58	-1	Not impressed at all!!&#63; My keyboard was more helpfull than Dr. Wasel. The guy is a ROOKY!! Not to mention that he wasn't interested in what I had to say about my skin condition, I was there for me not for him to just want to sell me on some medication and some special lab website. More Salesman less Doctor, thats my rating 	4	3	1	1 
58	-1	Too quick and not very talkative to answer my questions regarding psoriasis.  The word assembly line comes to mind. 	1	4	1	1 
58	1	I think Dr. Wasel is a wonderful doctor, he knows what he is talking about, that's why he was in school for so many years, I don't believe some of the things other people are saying about him, I think these people had a bad day and took it out on Dr. Wasel on this website. If you don't like the way he is with you then go to another doctor and be quiet about it. How rude to post such horrible things on the computer for everyone to see, I don't think anyone....including the people who posted would appreciate it, grow up! So what if Dr. Wasel is fast with his appointments, at least he knows what he's doing, not every doctor is going to sit with you for an hour and become your new best friend. I think Dr. Wasel is great, understanding, patient, helpful, curtious and nice. 	4	5	5	5 
58	1	I was early for my appointment, I was seen right away.  Dr.Wasel's Nurse took me into the patient room,  She was very kind and concerned with my skin,  She assured me that Dr. Wasel would be in right away to assess the problem.  When Dr. Wasel walked into the room, he acknoldeged my problem and put my mind at rest.  He is a wonderful doctor,  I would recommend him to all my friends.  When I was finished with my appointment I went up front to the reception area, I had to wait to be seen by one of the receptionists, When i was finally acknowledged the receptionist was very cold and couldn't seem to get me out of the office fast enough.  Over all Dr.Wasel and his Nurse are great,  His reception staff could use a course in human resources. 	4	5	4	5 
58	1	VERY KNOWLEDGEABE, FRIENDLY, PUT ME AT EASE RIGHT AWAY, LEFT KOWING ALOT MORE ABOUT PSORIASIS THAN MY FAMILY DOCTOR TOLD ME. WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE.  I WAS EARLY FOR MY APPOINTMENT AND SAW HIM RIGHT AWAY, VERY QUICK  APPOINTMENT BUT EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR. 	4	5	5	5 
58	-1	I cannot believe that this office does not take debit, nor credit cards.  I had to leave and walk to a interac machine.  I felt horrible after seeing Dr Wesel, his mannerism was rather condescending and i was in tears upon leaving.  It was a bad experience and i would never go back. 	1	2	2	2 
58	-1	I was rushed in, rushed out, and made to feel very uncared for. I may as well have been on an assembly line. While performing a biopsy, I was not spoken to; rather he spoke to his nurse OVER my prone body about her day, etc. never once addressing me or talking about the procedure while doing it. While it's nice to see an employer have a good rapport with his employees, it would be nice to be included. Forget bedside manners, the man needs just plain old manners. 	3	4	1	2 
58	1	Dr. Wasel was very good. He was very polite when I met him and he was on time. I was nervous but he quickly reassured me and within 10 seconds my mole was removed non surgically with no pain, blood, stiches or cutting! I was in and out of the room in 7 minutes! 	4	5	5	5 
58	-1	I saw Dr. Wasel a few years ago - I was referred by my family Doctor. I found him abrupt and rude and he acted like he couldn't get me out of there fast enough. Very unhelpful! 	5	5	1	3 
58	-1	I went to him 4 times for the same problem, the first time he new what it was right away with about a 1 sec look and the same with the other visits, always prescribing something stronger and it would work this time, everytime it seemed to get worse. They also lost my chart so on the fourth visit he tried to prescribe the same thing. Nice guy, pretty useless dermatologist. 	4	4	1	2 
58	0	I do believe Dr . Wasel is knowledgable in his practise but i must agree with the prior postings that indeed he does rush people. While trying to voice your concerns. I was in and out in 2 minutes. As we the general public might think how doctors do it in 2 min we dont know but they are the professionals , all and all my case is not major . 		5	3	3 
58	-1	I was very unimpressed with Dr. Wasel. Although this is true of most Alberta Dr's (due to the shortage of Health Care Professionals), I felt that I was rushed out of his office. He did examine me, but made a quick and easy diagnosis without considering all my symptoms or history, which led to a mis-diagnosis. On a return visit, he was dismissive to my concerns and stood by his simple &quot;mis-diagnosis&quot;. After my visits to Dr. Gordon Searles, am still undergoing treatment with improvements, and I have not looked back. From my first visit, the respect and sincerity of Dr. Searles has installed upmost confidence in him, of which I had none in Dr. Wasel. 		3	1	2 
58	1	goes out of his way to help his patienets,when ever you phone him at any time. 		5	5	5 
58	0	I have concerns about how much money a doctor gets paid for a 2 minute consult. I have had skin cancer treated by another doctor a couple of years ago and had another area of concern that I wanted his advice about. He asked me nothing about my previous skin cancer; but I guess I should be glad he had time to look at the mole that concerned me and my family doctor. 		4	3	3 
58	1	I have been seeing him for about 3 years for psoriasis. I have been extremely satisfied. He takes the time to answer all my questions and shows concern for me. I used to see another dermatologist who was just interested in botox etc. I like that Dr Wasel is more interested in helping me. He takes my concerns seriously. 		4	5	5 
58	-1	Took my kids in to see him, they both had a rash. We weren't even in his office for 5 minutes and after he took one look at them he automatically dignosed them both with psoriasis. Funny that they have not broken out in that rash again months later. Was not impressed at all with this Dr. or the staff up front, very rude. Would not recommend to anyone. He pushed us out that door fast and as a matter of fact I was still asking him questions while he was rudely walking out the door. 		3	1	1 
58	-1	He was always very much in a hurry. I spent more time with his nurses then with him. I was seeing him for hairloss and he perscribed cortizone shots. I asked if there were any negative side effects and she said there were none. I stopped getting the shots not thinking they were doing much for me. I went back for after about a year becasue my problem was getting worse and he asked me if i was sure i wanted to continue the shots at that time. Then preceeded to tell me all about the negative side effects and that it wouldn't be a good idea. I was very angry that he wasn't honest with me up front. 		4	2	2 
58	-1	He spent more time talking into his recorder than to me. He took one look, knew what I had and gave me a script for it. He proceeded to walk out and I asked him if I should follow up, he said &quot;Oh ya...uh, 3 months or so&quot; and walked out. I never did follow up. *shakes head* 		1	1	1 
58	-1	Does not spend much time on patients concern. Seems to have a very fast revolving door type approach. Rushed through my concern and did not seem to concerned. It was very disappointing. 		2	2	2 
58	1	Dr. Wasel is one of my favorite doctors. He makes you feel comfortable and is very friendly and knowledgable. 		5	5	5 
58	0	LIKES TO PUSH HIS EXPERIMENTAL DRUG TREATMENTS THAT USUALLY CAUSE MORE DISCOMFORT 		2	2	4 
59	1	great dentist had a great hyginist not there now too bad miss her will go were she is now 	2	4	4	4 
59	1	Has been my dentist for over 10 years, excellent service all around for the entire time. Would, and do, highly recommend. 	 6/21/10	5	5	5
59	-1	Where did he get his training...he is the worst dentist I have ever seen. Stay away!!!! 	2	4	1	1 
59	1	Great Dentist- gives excellent needles, can't feel a thing!! 	4	4	5	5 
59	1	He's a great dentist. He had to fix a painful dental mistake done by a different dentist but I didn't feel a thing :) Not even the needle!! The staff are also amazing, I had a dental checkup during stampede week and they had a pancake breakfast set up for everyone. 	5	5	5	5 
59	1	Friends and Family Dental Health understand that the mouth is vital to optimizing overall health and acknowledge that fluoride and mercury are toxins both for us and our environment.  When well known toxic substances, like mercury, are placed in the mouth they do not then mysteriously become non-toxic!  Dr. Wasylucha is an extremely knowledgeable, skilled and understanding practitioner and the office staff are warm and friendly.  Not ony will you receive excellent dental care at this office, but you may find yourself on the road to better health.  I certainly did and thank my lucky stars that I found this office. 	4	4	5	5 
59	1	I went to Dr. Wasylucha since he began working at Friends and Family, I love the office. For the most part very on top of things timewise. I have never had to get any dental work redone or fixed up, he did my braces and has wonderful staff whom I have known for even years before him. 	4	4	4	5 
59	1	I had not been to a dentist for years but was in pain. Dr. Lorne was gentle, reassuring and did not hurt! He made sure I was comfortable thoughout procedures - a lot of work but so worth it. His staff are also wonderful. 		5	5	5 
60	1	Dr. Walsh is amazing.  She helped me through a miscarriage.  She was compassionate and took all the time I needed during the visit.  She didn't care at all that I cried most of the visit.  She is knowledgeable and willing to work with you.  Anyone would be lucky to have her. 	5	5	5	5 
61	1	Love this guy, and his staff.  The clinic is small, intimate and caters to adult professionals. 	5	5	5	5 
61	1	Friendly staff, that really care.  They take the time to get to know you, your concerns, your needs. 	5	5	5	5 
62	-1	My only experience with her was when I went for a full pre-op physical. Not only did she not listen to me, her idea of doing a pelvic exam was to ask me if I'm sexually active and if I use protection. She also hurt one of my friends during a pelvic exam. 	5	3	2	2 
62	-1	This doctor is not especially warm or approachable. She makes you feel like you are wasting her time with your health concerns, and does very little patient counseling. Her manner is dismissive and intimidating.  I can see why some of the other posters would specifically request not to see her. In the future I will ask for another doctor at the University clinic. I am going to another doctor because I don't feel I was able to adequately communicate my concerns to her. 	3	4	1	3 
62	-1	She cannot read test results I was diagnosed with stomach flu suffered another week another real Dr pulled up the same test results and in one minute diagnosed me with a very bad case of food poisning, the whole time she was treating me she never listend to a word I told her. Not the kind of Dr you want in Emergency 	1	5	1	1 
62	-1	Very dismissive and cold. Treated me like I was drug-seeking when I asked to be tested for adult ADD (which i eventually was diagnosed with). The only doctor at the University Health Centre that I request not to see... 	4	4	1	2 
62	-1	Rude and mostly dismissive. Tried to get me out of there as fast as possible to the detriment of the quality of treatment I was getting. I also specifically request not to see her. 	3	3	2	2 
62	-1	Do NOT see this doctor. This is one of the worst experiences with a physician I have had and any time I go to the university health centre I specifically request NOT to see her. She is extremely unsympathetic to your concerns and will minimize whatever is going on for you. Find someone else!!! 	2	3	2	2 
62	1	Friendly doctor, among the best at the University of Alberta. 	 8/30/08	2	4	4
62	-1	This Doctor was absolutely horrible. She not only injured me during my last pelvic exam, but misdiagnosed me with a developmental abnormality that caused me weeks of anguish before I found out she was DEAD WRONG. The woman accidentally stuck a swab into my urethra, injuring it, and then when I returned to ask why I was in immense pain during urination, she told me that it was not in fact my urethra but an &quot;extra blind hole&quot;... In reality, it was my urethra, as I originally thought. 	1	1	1	1 
62	1	I regularly see Dr. Wanigaratne and am very impressed by her.  I only regret that I am graduating soon and will have to get a regular doctor outside of the university.  She asks questions, listens to your concerns and responds with exactly what is needed.  She was able to treat a condition that I have had for years and never was able to get under control.  She is fabulous and I would highly recommend her.  She deserves the highest of ratings. 	5	5	5	5 
62	-1	I was very disappointed in this doctor. She is the only one of the U of A healthcentre doctors that I requested NOT to see when I would go in due to my one and only experiance with  her. I went in with a bad cough, fever, difficulty breathing and sore throat. She would not listen to my issues and basically advised taking OTC pain meds and cough drops. Two days later I was in emerg and admitted to the hospital with a severe case of bronchitis and strep throat. She was rude, cold and inattentive. 	1	1	1	1 
62	-1	My first and only experience with Dr. Wanigaratne was not pleasant. Her manner was arrogant, cold and  condescending. I walked out of her office and will not see her again regardless of her education and skills. 	1	4	1	3 
62	1	I feel that communication is very important in the doctor/patient relationship and the most important component in communication is listening. When describing my ailment, I felt she was captivated and truly interested in what my issue was which is likely the reason why she was able to correctly diagnose my ailments over the course of my university education. 	4	4	5	5 
62	1	It's highly unfortunate that this excellent doctor is only available to help University staff and students. After four years with her, I would have loved to be able to stay with her after I left the U but was unable to due to University rules and regs. She is a no-nonsense, compassionate, caring doctor who will listen to your concerns and discuss options with you. She does NOT push pills and would rather do testing and investigating than simply treat a complaint with a drug. She did wonders for my health and welfare and was the best doctor I had ever seen up to that time. The ONLY complaint I had was that it's first come/first serve at the U of A Health Centre, and on busy days during the Fall/Winter session you can expect to be there for a LONG time if you ask to see a specific doctor. Even now, years later, when I have the opportunity to drop in to say hi to her she makes time for me. I miss this awesome, lovely lady and would recommend her to anyone. 		4	5	5 
63	1	great Doctor.  Saw him first time and he answered all my questions.  Seemed very caring and helpful. 	4	3	5	5 
63	-1	NOT GOOD!! My husband has an extremely complex kidney disease case and he sent him home TWICE without investigating his problem.  Dr.Wang said the pain and sickness was in my husband's head when a leak in his ureter was pouring urine itno his abdomen. When the problem was found after we requested a different Dr, he would look the other way when we passed him in the hall of the hospital. He never owned up to his error or apologized. Other Dr.'s apologized for him! 	5	5	1	1 
63	1	very nice doctor, very patient to answer questions. 	5	5	5	5 
64	1	He has been a great dr. I had him for prenatal and after my first baby and he had lots of knowledge and helped wherever he could. Very thankful for the good job he did with my c-section. He gave me very good advice for what I should and shouldn't do after having a c-section to help not having pain in the future. I would always have him as a doctor and would highly recommend others to have him also. 	5	4	5	5 
64	1	I had a great experience with, Dr. Walsh. He is helpful and would recommend him to anyone. 	5	5	5	5 
64	1	He is an amazing doctor, the best in my opinion.  He takes his time and makes you feel like you're his only patient.  As hard as he is to get an appointment with, it's well worth the wait.  He gets over booked which is why his being on time for appointments isn't always the greatest.  But what can you say, every pregnant person wants him as a doctor.  Also does great on c-sections.  All around a great doctor for pregnant women. 	5	4	5	5 
64	1	I think that Dr.Walsh is a great, He delivered both of my children be c-section, Sure he wasn't always on time with appointments but when your the ONLY Dr. in High Level doing Sections and 6 in one day you would expect the man to take a few extra mins for him self. I found he was Very funny and helpful. 	5	4	5	5 
64	1	is a very good DR. he is High level's only F/T dr so of course he's late what can you expect! very hard to get a appointment with but worth the wait. but he is awsome, great manners and if there is something wrong or you have a question he is very knowlegable and if he is not to sure he will DOUBLE check and look into it. to bad he only sees pregnant women, he would make a amazing family dr. plus when he preforms a surgury the scars a very minimal...best Doc in High Level! 	4	2	5	5 
64	0	see him if you are pregnant and ready to deliver, and then pray he shows up on time! 	3	1	2	3 
64	1	Delivered my twins by C-section. Did my surgery for a tubal pregnancy. Very grateful to him for the safe delivery of my twins; grateful for his compassion when I had the tubal pregnancy. 	3	3	5	5 
64	1	Dr. Walsh delivered my second baby since my regular doctor was away.  I could not have asked for a better replacement.  Although I was not his regular patient, he was extremely caring, patient and helpful.  I would strongly recommend Dr. Walsh to anyone looking for a doctor who genuinely has your best interests at heart. 	 1/23/09	5	4	5
64	1	YES DR.WALSH IS A VERY HARD PERSON TO GET AN  APOINTMENT WITH,  BUT I HAVE TO SAY THE WAIT IS WORTH IT. I HAVE HAD  DR.WALSH FOR A FAMILY DOCTOR FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS.HE AS WALKED ME THROUGH ALL OF MY THREE  PREGNANCY'S AND HAS DELIVERED TWO OF ME THREE CHILDREN. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMAND HIM TO ANYONE.  HE IS A VERY CARING MAN THAT MIGHT BE LATE BUT AT LEAST HE TAKES THE TIME TO SPEND WITH YOU AS A PATIENT. HE DOESN'T PUSH YOU OUT THE DOOR IN FIVE MINUTES LIKE ALMOST EVERY DOCTOR I HAVE HAD TO SEE. HE SEEMS TO BE VERY UNDERSTANDING  IN ALL ASPECTS,ALSO HE IS THE ONLY DOCTOR I HAVE EVER HAD THAT ACTUALLY TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE A PERSONAL PHONE CALL REGARDING A SCHEDUALED APPOINTMENT. 	4	4	5	5 
64	1	I found him VERY helpfull.  If I had any concerns or questions during both of my pregnancy's he always took his time to explain to me what was going on and why! I found him to be a great Doctor, and I will continue to use him in the future. 	5	4	5	5 
64	1	I found Dr. Walsh to be very helpful.  He is considerate of the patient and he takes the time to explain things that are happening. 	3	3	5	5 
64	0	general comments from others had been that he is always late, bites more than he can chew with patient scheduling and work, keeps you waiting endlessly, and these are what I found with him. Kept me waiting for appointment, needing to consult on many issues, impersonal approach, and generally would prefer seeing more caring knowledgeable physician. 	1	1	3	2 
64	1	He was amazing for my whole pregnancy, even after we got flown to Edmonton for the birth (2 months early) he called the hospital there to check up on us. 	4	3	5	5 
65	1	I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  It was amazing how fast things happened and Dr. Warshawski was very helpful with all of my questions.  He reassured me of what I had and what kind it was.  He explained to me what he was going to do and what I might expect.  I had to wait a little bit in his office and I was about 3 hours late going in for surgery.  Everything after the surgery went good and my parathyrodial glands were in good condition after the surgery.  The day I was supposed to have my stitches out he had a surgery at another hospital but he made it back to the office to see me and one other patient.  Overall he was a great doctor and was very experienced.  He was very knowledgable. 	 3/13/12	5	4	5
65	1	Dr. Warshawski is very knowledgeable and thorough in his examination and treatment.  He makes time to clearly answer all my questions.  I find him to be very prompt in his schedule. 	 1/17/12	5	5	5
65	1	LOVED HIM!!!  Went to see Dr.Warshawski with a diagnosis of Thyroid cancer.  He was very knowledgable, witty, straight to the point.  He told me exactly what I needed to hear good and bad.  He gave me his strong professional reccomendation on how he thought I should proceed with my illness with out a million options to stress out over.  He was a fantastic surgeon I have a very small clean scar.  He had wonderful bedside manner before I went into surgery and came to visit me in recovery to update me.  I found him charming, intelligent, witty, personable and generally just a lovely guy.  I did NOT at any time find him arrogant, egotistical, rude or unprofessional...perhaps the people who thought this need to lighten up!  He was great to deal with through my ordeal and feel nothing but gratitude that I had him as my doctor. 	 8/5/11	4	4	5
65	1	I will forever be grateful to this doctor not for saving my life but saving the quality of my life as well. 	 6/15/11	5	5	5
65	1	He is very skilled and knowledgeable; he is forthright, tells you like it is; he has a dry sense of humour; my surgery and recovery went as he  advised it would; no surpises; the nurses on the hospital ward spoke very favourably about him--he acres about his patients. I was very happy my family doctor referred me to Dr. Warshawski; be prepared to spend time in the waiting room when you go in for appointments. 	 6/6/10	5	3	5
65	1	I was referred to Dr. Warshawski to correct a deviated septum from an injury that had triggered sleep apnea. As warned by my GP, it took a bit to get in to see him, and he was blunt and to the point. He doesn't beat around the bush, he gets right to the point. He performed a Septoplasty on me in the summer which was so successful it ended the sleep apnea. At my post-op apptmt, I requested a Tonsillectomy as I should have had my tonsils out as a child, but it never happened. He warned it would be the worst pain in my life. Pain was horrible, but worth it. Can ask him any question and he will answer. Listen to his advice, not what junk you're told by the media and you'll be fine. Incredible bedside as long as you realize he's not there to hold your hand. He's got a dry sense of humor, which can be interesting. Overall, Great doctor. Very knowledgeable and talented. Blunt and to the point. Knows his stuff! Wish he did children still. Receptionist is a sweetheart and very accommodating! 	 12/6/09	4	4	5
65	1	I was told by my endocrinologist that Dr. Warshawski was the best thyroid surgeon in Calgary and that although it might take me a while to get in to see him, it is well worth it.  He did a thyroid lobectomy on me in April 2009 and was absolutely fantastic from my first consultation with him, through my surgery, and following up.  He lets you know what the risks are and what to expect, is very thorough, positive and reassuring.  I appreciate his upfront attitude and his sense of humour throughout all of the encounters I have had with him.  Yes, he is often far behind in his appointments and I would recommend bringing work to do while you wait (I waited for 1.5 hours to get stitches removed) but his expertise is something that I could not have done without.  All in all, from first consult to surgery the wait was only 6 weeks, which was awesome seeing as it took me 4 months of waiting for a referral.  My tip: book in the morning, he's less likely to be SUPER far behind :) 	4	1	5	5 
65	-1	Dr. W is exteremly rude and arrogant.  Terrible beside manner.  Shows no compassion at all.  He obviously is not happy with what he is doing, maybe retiring would be the best option!! 	3	3	1	2 
65	-1	Dr. W. is extremely rude and arrogant. He made fun of my condition and even suggested that my mother must have hit me with a 2x4! This is not humor..it is bad doctoring. I felt degraded. He did nothing to help me and I still have my condition which my GP is now dealing with. I would not go to him again. 	2	2	1	1 
65	1	Dr. W will be removing my thyroid and tumours in near future.  I found him to be EXTEMELY caring and compassionate with a great sence of humour.  I would highly recommend him and cannot understand some of the negative comments about him from others.  I have never seen another Dr. who gave me so much useful information in one visit. 	5	5	5	5 
65	1	I moved to Calgary twelve year ago and Dr Warshaski was recommended to me by my pervious Ear Specialist, I have had nothing but good things to say about him and he has ben very helpful to me.  Yes there is sometimes a wait, but no different than going to any other clinic in Calgary.  I now have appointment twice a year and have found him to be very pleasant on every visit and would recommend him to any patient.  These people that have all the negative comments about this Doctor maybe need to consider their own behaviour, you often get what you give, so think about that and conider your attudude when dealing with these dedicated Physicians.  A Satisfied Patient!! 	3	3	5	5 
65	1	I am shocked by some of the negative postings. Dr. Warshawski performed a hyperparathyroidectomy and I have nothing butgreat things to say about him. His bedside manner was awesome - he came in on a Saturday morning after a soccer practice to see how I was doing the day after my surgery. As for punctuality, I have come to expect in our medical system that there are delays. I waited over an hour for him one morning, but I know that he usually goes to the hospital before he comes in and gets delayed there. I highly recommend him 	4	3	5	5 
65	-1	This man was unbelievably rude, derisive, insulting and . The wait time was entirely inexcusable and very unprofessional. After waiting nearly 3 months for an appointment, I was undeniably stunned that my &quot;appointment&quot; was at a consecutive time as 5 other paitents. I then sat in the waiting room with 9 other people for a further hour and 45 minutes before seeing this doctor for a total of 10 minutes, while being treated to the most rude and inexscusable derision and arrogance I have ever encountered in the medical field. He did nothing to address my concerns nor give me any indication that he could be of any help to me. I will not be going back. I sincerely hope that this &quot;doctor&quot; does something to improve his entirely non-existent &quot;beside manner.&quot; 	1	1	1	1 
65	1	I can't complain about my visit to his office the first time, he sent me for surgery to remove a lump attached to my thyroid, on my surgery date he was an hour late (I was the first appointment that morning). They had wheeled me into the surgery room and I laid there terrified (first surgery in my life) while the nurses and anesthetist calmed me down, he finally showed up drew a line across my neck which really freaked me out and then the anesthetist put me to sleep right away thank heavens. After the surgery his bedside manner was great, he showed real concern about me and made sure I was okay, same goes for my follow-up appointment (which someone forgot to make, I had to call and ask when I could come in because I had a neck full of stitches that I wanted out). Not sure whose fault that would be, him or the receptionist. Not sure what to rate him really - he had pros and cons I guess! 	4	1	3	5 
65	-1	This doctor is extremly arrogant and self absorbed. He made rude and thoughtless comments and was inaccurate in his assessment and ability to place me appropriatley in the wait list for surgery. His staff is exatly the same, in fact the first time I called, using a number given to my by my specalist she yelled at me and was rude beyond belief. This thoughless, uncaring rude behaviour was consistant from the whole office in every situaion I had with them. Do NOT go to this doctor. In my case it worked out for the best, and I ended up going to a much better surgeon in BC, he was not only polite and caring, but far more skilled at thyroid surgery and was able to perform the surgery in under and hour and therefore I did not have to stay in the hospital over night. Find anothoer option and especially if you need thyroid surgery go elsewhere!! 	1	1	1	2 
65	0	I was led to his office for our first consultation. He entered the room, picked up a chart and starting reading it to himself. He completely ignored me as many minutes passed. WFinally he looked up, but was then abrupt, unfriendly and rude to me. Made innappropriate comments to me while examining me. A disgustingly rude and arrogant person in general. I never went back. 	1	3	2	3 
65	1	I was sent to this doctor the day he told me that i had thyroid cancer,i quit smoking. I had 3 opperations by him just want to say thanks DR warshawski and Dr dort 	5	5	5	5 
65	1	Dr. Warshawski is a wonderful doctor, he has helped my 3 children since they were very young. 	5	5	5	5 
65	-1	Our family doctor referred my son to him about 6 years ago when my son's tonsils swelled up every winter.  Family doctor said he may need to have them removed.  After waiting over two hours in the waiting room, we waited another 30 in the exam room.  Because we saw him in the summer, the tonsils were not swollen.  He was extremely rude and arrogant.  When I mentioned my doctor had said my son may need surgery, he accused me of being a parent who insisted on unneeded surgery for their child.  He wouldn't believe me when I said that the tonsils swelled up to the point that my son had trouble eating.  I left and told my family doctor to never refer any of my family members to him again.  When I mentioned this to my sister, she laughed and said this was the very rude doctor she had told me about a few months earlier.  He is supposed to be very good, and I guess this lets him get away with a lot, but I would never recommend him to anyone. 	3	1	1	3 
65	1	Dr. Warshawski performed a full thyroidectamy on me two years ago. He was extremely helpful, informed me of all the complications and walked me though the procedures along the way. He also prepared me of the long term effects post surgery and how my body would react with the change. Great sense of humor and great bed side manner. He was more knowledgeable of thyroid conditions than my Endocrinologist. I like Joe. I would recommend him to anyone. Did a fantastic job my neck. 	3	3	5	5 
65	1	Dr. Warshawski has performed 3 surgeries on my sinuses (nasal polyps) over the past 15 years and all have been highly successful. Yes, he's to the point which some may find offensive, but i prefer the straight-up, rather than being coddled. He gets the job done. 	5	4	5	5 
65	-1	Condescending, rude, offensive and arrogant in manner and care.Have never left a medical office feeling angry and for hours before and since his.I have since spoken to at least three other people who had gone to him and had the same experience.They could not believe how rude he was to them and needed to vent once his name came up, or they brought it up and I shared too.Doesn't hold a candle to his predecessor Dr. Campbell, who I was lucky enough to have had the experience to see when he was in Calgary.Professional and actually addressed the medical concerns rather than making offending comments in place of such.There is no reason or excuse for anyone to do so, especially in a prefessional setting.One of my friends who has had chronic ear infections for years received nothing but sarcastic and unhelpful comments from him too.  Many years later we met and shared our disbelief of his conduct.  I've continued to have issues too and would not go back. 	3	3	1	1 
65	1	Had a thyroidectomy surgery of which he did, very quick efficient and had a great bedside manner afterwards. Great sense of humor and very professional at the same time. 		4	4	4 
65	-1	Had an appointment for 11:00. At 12:00 because the doctor was 'running late' and had other commitments in the afternoon, I was told to rebook (earliest appointment available was a month away)even though the reason for the visit was serious side effects with a medication he prescribed for me. No apology was given. Thoroughly unprofessional and seems to have a total disregard for patients. Would never recommend. 		1	1	1 
65	1	Wonderful Dr. My son had his tonsils out by him. Very kind and great with kids. Surgery went well. Follow up was good. 		4	5	5 
65	0	Absolutely rude and disrespectful to others! Needed to see a tonsil bleed, after his surgery and he acted as if he was insulted he had to deal with it in Emergency at ACH. Would not let my worst enemy send their child to him! Very disappointing to see in a Professional! 		2	1	4 
65	1	Took care of my son during his &quot;tubal&quot; in his ears when he was 2 then his tonsillectomy when he was 6. Both times found him to be absolutely fantastic. Listens, talks to the kids, very informative and knowledgeable. Good looking too which is never a bad thing! 		3	5	5 
66	1	Best Dentist one could ask for. He is professional and friendly, The staff are great. Will be going back to him for all my dental needs 	5	5	5	5 
66	1	the staff were very friendly.the dentist is very congenial, with a personal demenier that enhances his profensional approch to his patient. 	5	5	5	5 
67	1	He's now retired!  Great dentist for our family.  miss him. 	5	5	5	5 
67	1	Good Dentist does a good job but extremely condiscending. Needs people skills. 	4	4	4	4 
68	-1	He is a bad dr donst listin always late he pumps you full with medication and he is very rude 	 5/6/10	3	1	3
68	-1	He is a very bad dr. he dose not listen to what i have to say he just wants to pump you full of medication and set you on your way!!. 	4	2	2	1 
68	1	Dr.Walters is great he takes time to listen to what you have to say. He takes time to talk to you. I have a croninc illness He takes the time to go over everything with me from my aces and pains to my meds. I can not same enough go things about the man. 	5	5	5	5 
68	1	I find him patient with people & knowledgable. He has alot of experience & can answer questions I ask. He also takes into consideration my wishes. We are fortunate to have this experienced & caring doctor in this community. 	5	5	5	5 
68	1	Dr. Walters is very thorough & dedicated to his profession. I have a chronic illness & he is my family Dr. Really, it is obvious to me he is knowledgeable with his years of experience & cares about his clients. I have to be treated on a regular basis, and my rating is based on &gt; 25 office visits-NOT one. 	5	5	5	5 
68	1	I found Dr. Walters very thorough and informative.  He took his time and didn't make me feel like I had to hurry so that he could get on with the next patient.  I will definately go to him again and refer him to anyone else looking for a good Dr. 	5	4	4	4 
68	-1	I found this doctor very disappointing. He didn't seem to remember conversations and obviously didn't write things down to help him remember thus forcing a &quot;his word against patient&quot; situation. Didn't seem to have a grasp of the possible side effects of drugs and when they are brought to his attention, he becomes very dismissive and disinterested in any supportive info, especially if the side effect is rare. This behaviour could quite possibly be a direct result of being over-worked, but who of us isn't these days. 	2	4	2	2 
68	1	Dr. Walters is very knowledgeable. As a &quot;2nd&quot; doctor when my regular family doctor is not available, he remembers my medical history without going thru my file. He always inquires about my condition even when I may only see him once a year. Enough good can't be said about him. 	5	5	5	5 
68	-1	I took my son to see Dr.Walters after he got injured at a play group right in front of me and Dr. Walters told me my son was faking the injury to try to get some attention from his mother (he thought I had him to a dayhome, not playgroup). he couldn't even walk on his foot, and was in pain, and Dr. Wlaters told me not to carry him home, but to &quot;make him walk&quot; because he was likely faking. He was very rude, and my child has never faked an injury in his life and to insinuate I don't spend time with my son when I am with him every day all day is horrible. Everyone I talk to has the same opinion of him, he is rude, and uncaring. 	4	3	1	3 
68	1	Doc. Walters is the tpye of doc you can talk to as a friend. He listenes. 	5	4	4	4 
69	1	Very good patient relations. Expert knowledge on naturual medicine. A good friend in need! Staff is very knowledgeable, helpfull &amp; friendly.Arno 	5	5	5	5 
69	1	Dr. Warness is a doctor with heart! He has a lot of experience, and does not  prespribe drugs just to get rid of you. I have had a great experience with him! 	 4/1/11	5	4	5
69	1	Has been my doctor for almost 30 years, I miss him since I moved to Vancouver. Very good doctor, alternative options which is the reason why I keep going as well as his knowledge. 	5	3	5	5 
69	1	I miss Dr. Warness since moving to Ontario. He practises holistic/chinese medicine along with regular medicine and always helped me with any problem I may have had. Wish I could have taken him with me on my move. His staff are long term people who know their stuff and always helpful and friendly. 	5	4	5	5 
69	-1	he doesn't explain anything, always gives vague answers. very bad experience with this doctor. he always seems in a hurry to get you out the door. 	3	3	1	2 
69	1	I have had a great experience with  Dr.. Warness. He was very thorough on each visit, willing to do necessary  tests to get to the bottom of my problems. Although he is very busy, I have felt that he really listened to my concerns and took them seriously. His staff is exceptionally friendly , efficient and   knowledgeable.   I have had such good success with  the treatment he has given me. Many times in the past ,I have had adverse reactions to medications given to me.  Dr. Warness is very open to listening to how I feel on each prescription and working with me on finding the right one.  He has been especially helpful on helping me  work through my post surgery cancer situation  successfully.  I highly recommend him  as a great  general physician  and especially one to work through cancer problems with. 	5	4	5	5 
69	1	I like his natural approach in combination with modern medicine. He can be a little querky but genuinely seems to care. His staff is great!!! 	5	5	5	5 
69	1	Is not a &quot;pill pusher&quot; tends to go for a more holistic approach. 		4	4	5 
70	1	I recently moved over 300 km from Hanna.  Dr Dave rocks as does his wonderful wife, Heather, who is a hygienist.  I understand his daughter will also be joining the practice.  Best wishes to Dr. Dave and his staff for all of their dedicated and professional work. 	5	5	5	5 
70	1	Dr. Warwick is awesome!  He is so nice and upbeat.  Most of his work is as natural as possible too. 	5	5	5	5 
70	1	my family always went to him when i was a kid, even travelling 90 minutes each way to see him once a month. an old family friend and if it wasnt so damn expensive to drive 90 minutes to see the dentist, i would still be going to him as an adult! 	5	5	5	5 
70	1	Very Up to date with new technology.  We are very happy with his work. 	5	5	5	5 
70	1	Amazing dentist. Very knowledgeable and is concerned for the overall well being of his patients. Gives you all the options and educates you on the pros and cons of each. Great at calming patients down who are uneasy about treatments. Highly recommended!!! 	5	5	5	5 
70	1	Made even a visit to the dentist pleasant - if you ever have a fear of the dentist this guy will get rid of that. 	5	5	5	5 
70	1	A very good dentist who provides quality work - though he is expensive. I do find find that he tends to stress his own opinion sometimes making me feel intimidated. 	4	2	4	4 
70	1	Dr. Warwick is the most amazing dentist ever. As a child I spent 10 years going to different dentists who never fixed my problems. After seeing him for 2 years and a lot less money my teeth were fixed. I still travel many hours to get my dentistry done by him. He is the most caring, cheerful man ever and loves kids. Thanks Dr. Warwick 	5	5	5	5 
70	1	Dr. Dave has been my dentist for years and I told him if he retired I would follow him! He's always in a great mood, is very concerned about your pain, etc. He has helped me greatly with my migraines. I hope I never have to &quot;break in&quot; another dentist. My kids travel great distances to go to him because he's the best! 		4	5	5 
70	1	Dr. D is an awesome dentist! Very painless! He has helped me a lot with my headaches. Always cheerful and singing. I've always been scared of going to a dentist. He has shown me there is nothing to fear. Thankx D! 		5	5	5 
70	1	Thanks to his knowledge of the harmful effects of certain dental materials and the removal of these I am getting my life back and all the medical problems that were caused by this are now disappearing. He came in on days off to do much of this work and I can honestly say he saved my life. 		5	5	5 
71	1	Couple of visits to see Jeff, filling and and he put a crown on my front tooth. he did a perfect job, friends are all noticing it (was off colour before). Friends are all asking about him now and I send them all to see Jeff, he's become a friend now too, oh and professional staff too, was really good 	5	5	5	5 
71	1	Took my hole family to Dr. Wakeford's office in West Springs Plaza. Hygienist was amazing and tot my kids how to brush properly. Dr. Wakeford was great with all three kids. I shopped around for pricing and they were right on par with my past dentist but this clinic was super modern and it was a flawless experience. Thumbs up! Greta Byrns. 	5	5	5	5 
71	1	I have referred a lot of my friends and my family members that live in Calgary. The office is really nice and new. Staff were amazing at Wentworth Dental...prompt, knowledgeable and super easy to talk too. Two thumbs up! 	5	5	5	5 
71	1	My kids actually liked going to the dentist! Brand new clinic with kid's room and super professional staff. Will definitely recommend. Thanks. 	5	5	5	5 
71	1	Sweet place. Cool doctor. I'm going back for sure. Hot staff lol :) 	5	5	5	5 
71	1	I've been to a few dentists and he is by far the most knowledgeable, caring and thorough. Great experience from start to finish. Well done! 	5	5	5	5 
71	1	I highly recommend Wentworth Family Dental to all who are looking for a great dental clinic.  I used to be scared to death to go see a dentist cause of previous bad experiences, but after I met Dr. Wakeford and his staff, I am not scared of going to the dentist anymore.   Dr. Wakeford was very experienced and gentle, always making sure I am comfortable during all treatments.  I had major work done including a few crowns, partial denture, fillings, and teeth extractions and throughout all treatments Dr. Wakeford and his staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed. They were also very accommodating in fitting the treatments in on my hectic schedule.   I look forward to continuing my and my family’s relationship with Wentworth Family Dental in the future.  I want to thank Dr. Wakeford and his staff for making it a positive experience. I would highly recommend Wentworth Family Dental Clinic, you will not be disappointed. 	5	5	5	5 
71	1	I was very apprehensive to go back to the Wentworth dental office after my first (bad) experience in November. I was happily surprised to find new staff and a great new dentist. Dr. Wakeford is calm, gentle, takes the time to explain, is pleasant, competent and is not pushy. I will not be scared to go back anymore. Thanks! 	5	4	5	5 
71	1	Dr. Wakeford is always friendly and poliet and always asks how I am doing during fillings as I don't like dentists. Had two fillings done today and everything was great! 	4	4	4	4 
72	1	Very helpful and professional!  Listens to concerns and arranges appropriate investigations and treatment. 	4	5	5	5 
73	1	I like Dr. Watson but find her sitting in front of her computer the whole time very impersonable. Her receptionist is one of the rudist people i have ever seen in a professional atmosphere. She does not respect privacy. Dr. Watson is helpful, just wish she had better people skills. 	1	3	4	4 
73	1	Dr Watson is lovely. She listens to your problems and offers great advice.  Her receptionist, however, is extremely rude. 	1	4	5	5 
73	1	I really like her. It shows that she cares and that's very important to me. 	5	5	5	5 
73	1	I love Dr. Watson.  I have been seeing her for a couple years.  She seems to really listen to me and my concerns.  She gives great suggestions and really cares about me and my daughter. 	5	5	5	5 
73	1	After a few years of trying to find a family Doctor upon moving to Calgary we were rewarded for our wait by having Dr Watson accept us as new patients ..... she is very knowledgeable and spent time questioning us on our past medical experiences .... VERY Professional .. 	4	5	5	5 
73	1	We have had excellent experience with Dr. Watson and her staff. They are very flexible with our large family and we are able to get in within a few days if needed. She is very professional, great with the kids, and has been helpful following up and ensuring our overall concerns are met. So glad we found her! 	5	5	5	4 
73	1	We have had good experiences with her. She is new but very helpful and profesional. We switched our family of four to her and she has been great with our 13 month old baby boy and has seen him on VERY short notice.Shes not to hard on the eyes either. lol 	4	4	4	4 
73	1	I am new to dr. Watso and have to say quite impressed... yes she is young but I see that as a good thing..she's on top of her game!. If she doesn't know something she will find someone who does. I have found her personable and very kind. She makes one feel comfortable seeing her. Receptionist staff not so much but it is Dr. Watson that I am concerned with not her staff...and I find her great! 	3	4	5	4 
73	0	IMPOSSIBE to get in to see in a reasonable amount of time. Only works part time. What new GP works part-time&#63; Her receptionist is very RUDE! 	1	3	2	4 
73	1	Dr. Watson IS young, and she does carry her laptop with her from office to office.  But I find this to be a positive thing--it means she's able to keep track of my medical history more effectively.  I've seen her two or three times, and I will be continuing with her as my GP. 	4	4	4	4 
73	-1	I was not very impressed with this Dr. As I expressed my concerns, all she did was sit at her computer.  She never even looked up at me.  Not at all concern about patient care and incredibly disrespectful.  Would not recomend her to anyone! 	1	1	1	3 
74	1	Wonderful anaesthitist.  Provided information re procedure and made it very comfortable to have anaesthetic. 	5	5	5	5 
75	1	For the time that I have been her patient, she has always been very thorough and done a wonderful job for both me and my children.She explains things very well,listens to her patients, and doesn't hesitate to refer to specialists. She puts the kids at ease and is very patient with them. They actually like going to the doctor! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. 	5	4	5	5 
75	1	despite being very busy as a mother, and physician she goes out of her way to be there for her patients.  If she is away she always ensures adequate followup for her patients is in place.  She only calls patients back in to f/u on abnormal tests, etc and refers as is appropriate 	5	5	5	5 
75	1	Dr. Warren is very caring, considerate and goes the extra mile to help. I feel that she cares for me as a person, not just another &quot;number&quot;. She has been very good with all of my prenatal appointments, the deliveries of my babies, post-partum concerns, appointments for my children and recent special medical condition that I've developed. She even went so far as to call me at home on the weekend to share test results so I could get treatment sooner. She remembers personal details about myself and my family and we get excellent service. She is one in a million! 	3	1	5	5 
75	-1	doesn't appear to know the proper places to refer a patient for specialized treatment. Not available when needed....always seems to be away somewhere or off duty. Doesn't follow up with labs, ECG's visits after ER visits...adding new meds, etc. Doesn't seem to appreciate a patient's handicaps as far as getting to and from appts. Not sure if staff are properly instructed or monitored as to whether they are doing the right things. 	1	1	1	1 
75	1	Dr. Warren has never doubted that I came in to see her for a reason. She actually places her hands on her clients and does a physical exam as the situation requires. She goes the extra mile in being thorough and providing take home info. for people. She always gives residents a shot at seeing her clients and does thorough assessments. Nurses choice. :) 	5	5	5	5 
75	1	DR.M WARREN WAS SO HELPFUL AND I JUST FELT SO COMFORTABLE RIGHT FROM THE START. WHEN I WAS IN LABOR SHE MADE SURE I WAS COMFORTABLE AND TOLD ME EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND PUT ME AT EASE. WHENEVER I HAVE A PROBLEM SHE MAKES SURE SHE GETS TO THE BOTTOM OF IT, NOT JUST SEND ME ON MY WAY LIKE SOME OTHER DOCTORS 		5	5	5 
75	1	This doctor has been very polite professional and happy when I've gone to see her. She listens to your concerns and tries to accomodate you. 		3	3	4 
75	1	Excellent, very accomodating. Community focused and commitment to all patience. 		3	5	5 
75	1	Made our child birth a educating and awesome experience 		4	5	5 
75	1	When we moved to Sundre, 5 years ago, I had no knowledge of what the doctors were like in this town. I am pleased to say, that I when I met Dr. M. Warren, I was very comfortable with her, and have been ever since! Not only do I find Dr. M. Warren to be very understanding and knowledgeable, but the entire staff of the clinic and hospital make me proud to say...I live in Sundre!! 		5	5	5 
75	1	I found that Doctor Warren is always willing to sit and explain the answer to any questions you have. 		5	5	5 
76	1	Within a few months of seeing Dr Watt my shoulder was better after years of pain and limited mobility. 	5	5	5	5 
76	1	Exceptional chiropractor I have been going to Dr Watt for 7+ years 	5	5	5	5 
76	1	Very pleasant and helpful. Time and money well spent. 	5	5	5	5 
76	1	helped me with the KST koren specific technique. Cranial specialist , my daughter had migraines since high school basketball , too many concussions, I say had migraines. I also had many head injuries, can actually feel my face now, clear head, eyes don't hurt. Still need to stay tuned up but the original work is done. 	5	5	5	5 
76	1	Best chiropractor in Calgary, hands down!  Genuinely cares about his patients. 	5	5	5	5 
76	1	awesome doc one of the best in the west would not hesitate to recommend 	5	5	5	5 
76	1	I would highly recommend this Chiropractor. Not only was he helpful, knowledgable and caring but he actually did get rid of the pain I had been carrying for a long time. I haven't seen him in over a year but I haven't had to. He utilizes a method that helps your body make the adjustments, no bone cracking!! I can't remember the cost but I remember it was on par with any other chiropractor I had ever gone to. 	5	5	5	5 
77	1	I found her very helpful and thorough. I recovered very well after operation without much pain. She came to see me everyday in the hospital and is patient in answering my questions. Nice doctor. 	 1/25/12	4	4	5
77	-1	She makes me feel insecure; she brushes off my questions and concerns, she gives no time to discuss the situation I had, and she is always in a hurry.  The most shocking was she threw me the pamphlets and asked me to read it at home and if I want more info, she told me to just Google search from the internet.  I feel very disappointed in her and has switched for a better doctor. 	3	1	1	2 
77	1	First of all, my family and I wish express our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Wang for the operation on my surgery on earlier July 2011 and the excellent care you gave to me on the rest of days I stayed at Lois Hole Hospital for Women. Based on the surgery, hospital care and clinic visit, my opinion is that Dr Wang is an approachable and nice gynecologist, and she has very good bed-side manner. She is good in her treatments work for me. 	 7/25/11	4	5	5
77	1	Dr wangs office and nursing staff is among the best out there. You are responsible for your own appointments. This is a busy office and missed appointments are not tolerated as it is not fair to other ladies that are on wait list. This is not a daycare they run! 	 4/19/11	5	4	5
77	-1	Missed my appointment so called to rebook the receptionist was incredibly rude and she refused to assist with rebooking. By the way they don't do reminder calls just a heads up I won't be going to this dr with the most unprofessional staff. 	1	1	1	1 
77	-1	came in, told me I needed a c-section NOW or my baby would die. When I tried to ask more questions and understand why she was saying that she refused to answer my questions, insulted my mother and left the room. I refused to let her near me again. Awful, mean woman. 	1	1	1	1 
77	1	Dr. Wang is an experienced OB/GYN. My friends and I trust her and feel free to talk to her in the office. Edmonton Chinse women are fortunate having her taking care of our health. 	4	5	5	5 
77	1	SHE IS A VERY NICE CHINESE DOC. FEELING VERY RELAX AND FREE TO SEE HER. 	5	5	5	5 
77	-1	I was refereed to her for my first pregnancy. she does not answer all your questions, and always in hurry. she ignored any complaining you have. I am glad not to see her any more, why to waist my time and money&#63;&#63; 	2	2	1	1 
77	1	She is a very nice doctor. I found her very reliable, skillful and supportive. 	 4/9/10	4	5	5
77	-1	she makes you feel that she had no time. I even could not ask her a couple of questions. her replies are so general.and one of her receptionist is kind of rude. 	1	1	1	1 
77	-1	she missed diagnosed my prolapse. ignored my concerns that could save me this long life hell disease. give no time to discuss the situation. I highly dis recommend her. she is always in hurry. her office staff forget to call me after blood and urine test so I got very late prescription for antibiotic I had to use. I regret going to her. 	1	5	1	1 
77	1	Dr. Wang is wonderful. She is efficient and kind. Answers all your questions without rushing you and is quite punctual. She is a great addition! 	4	5	5	5 
77	1	I am a pacient of Dr. Wang and she likes to be on top of things, checking everything.She's doing a great job, and she's really kind and gentyle! 	4	4	4	5 
77	1	Shes just wonderful and gets things done!! Very hands on knowledgeable,nice Nurses she has as well. Be warned. This is a high pressure,fast paced,busy,funny environment in high demand as its shared with one of the best Dr's in her field in the office as well. Do not pester them if you dont have to. Respect what they are doing cause you will be told... 	5	5	5	5 
78	0	Dr Wallace worked on replacing several older fillings.  Over a span of 2 years, 4 of his fillings fell out and now required root canals.  During one root canal procedure he broke the tooth but didn't say anything until I discovered 80% of the tooth was filling material, held to the remaining sliver of tooth with many pins. Have since lost this tooth. Quit seeing him when another tooth broke off at the gum 3 days after an expensive root canal required due to a failed filling. He extracted the remaining root for free, but no refunds on the root canal or the failed filling.  Now, a few years later, the remaining fillings are failing. He is friendly and acts very professionally but he has cost me financially and I now have fewer teeth. His clinic quoted me an extra $1000 for an implant (referral) vs going directly to a DDS. He may be good at general oral care but I have not had a good experience with fillings or root canals. 	 5/23/11	5	4	3
78	1	After years of not having a Dentist I was confortable with, I finally found Dr. Wallace!  All I can say is I will never have another Dentist as long as Dr. Wallace is practicing!! 	5	5	5	5 
78	1	Excellent dentist and exceptional assistants, hygenists and front office staff. Although I have relocated back to Regina, I will continue to use Dr. Wallace as my primary dentist as he is extremely knowledgable, prompt and caring. 	5	5	5	5 
78	1	Dr. Wallace is so awesome. I'm another person who goes into a severe state of anxiety every single time ~ but he works right through it. He is extremely gentle and professional! 	 4/8/07		5	5
78	1	I think the world of Dr. Wallace - he is such a kind genuine man and an excellent dentist of course! Very comfortable office and great assistants. 		5	5	5 
78	1	Dr. Wallaceis EXCELLENT! The BEST dentist I have ever been to. In fact, my parents, siblings, husband & in-laws all switched to him once I told them how great he is. He is very GENTLE. He accomodates patients with needle phobias. He is genuine with his patients and won't do unnecessary dental work. I really can't say enough wonderful things about him. 		5	5	5 
79	1	This wonderful GP has the most knowledge of any other GP we have encountered in Calgary.  Most times he will not even have to do tests but knows the diagnosis (from years and years of experience).  Keep up the awesome work - Dr. W. - Calgary needs more doctors like you. You are great!C &amp; D. Greenwood 	 4/3/12	5	4	5
79	1	He has saved my life a couple of times. He does not give up and because he did not give up, I am alive. 	4	4	5	5 
79	-1	I first started seeing this doctor about 4 years ago. About 2 years ago  I was in and out of the clinic every 2 weeks for a year and a half for a bladder infection that wouldn't go away. He kept prescribing me drug after drug after drug and I was never cured or referred to a specialist. Last year he prescribed me another drug and told me to take a pill, sit in the waiting room and see if I have an allergic reaction (which I did). The nurse took me into a room and brought Dr. W in and I told him what was happening. He put his hands on my shoulders, looked at me and said 'sweetie, you're not having an allergic reaction, you're just stressed and tired. Go home, take another pill and if you can't breathe, go to the hospital'. My throat closed up within 10 mins of getting home. I asked for all my lab results and went to another doctor. New doctor says I never had an infection and was healthy. Never saw him again. 	1	1	1	1 
79	-1	My toddler had a head injury from falling off a bike and hitting a steel rod - he walked in, ask one question - where is the cut - and said she needs one stitch then walked out. No hello, what happened, no history, no clipboard. He was the most arrogant doctor I have ever met. After my daugther got her stitch, I expressed my concern and he responded by saying that it was my fault for not telling him. He was in the room for 30 seconds and it was superficial. Speaking to another doctor he said taking a history is the doctors responsibility and should have asked if she lost consciousness or had a seizure. I have submitted a complaint to the Alberta College of Physicians. 	1	1	1	1 
79	1	I have seen  this doctor several times  and have just the best experience with his work. Sometime happened  that he was later , but because he spent more time with the previous client. Just the staff could be better in this clinic. I strongly recomend this doctor to other people. 	2	4	5	5 
79	-1	During my pelvic examination, he was very rough and forced his way in with the metal speculum. He snapped at me to relax. On another appointment, he disregarded my queries and instead talked about other things that concerned him, such as his travels. 	4	1	2	2 
79	1	Wait time is long, always late when starting his day witch create a wait from the beginning. The front staff is definitely not helping him the way he deserve but he is extremely knowledgeable and go to the point without unnecessary measures. Strongly recommended 	2	1	4	5 
79	1	Superior family physician, excellent diagnostician, explains diagnosis and treatment fully, respects patient confidentially and does not chart family problems when asked not to; appreciate the consideration, does not rush when explaining options for treatment, a totally professional physician.  I recommend him to everyone I meet that can not find a doctor or is unhappy with the one they have.  Exceptional at knee injections for damaged cartilage to slow further degeneration.  Thankfull to have him as our family physician. 	5	5	5	5 
79	1	This Dr cared enough to investigate my injuries even though there was litigation involved.I was turned down as a patient by many others b/c of this.He takes the time to talk to you and explain your illness and what will help.He has a good sense of humor as well.His investigating found more problems that i wasn't even aware of.Thanks 	2	1	4	4 
79	1	The clinic which Dr.Wachtler now works out of has the worst customer service, the longest waiting time, crying and wailing babies but it is worth it to see Dr.Wachtler. Because of Dr.wachtlers vast medical knowledge- I'm alive! I thought I had the flu, Dr.Wachtler diagnosised a tumor and I had to have surgery. Because of the College of Physicians longest court case against Dr.Wachtler I haven't had proper medical care. The court case is over and I'm still not able to get proper medical care and it's not Dr.Wachtlers fault for this.I need medicine, if I go to another docter I'll get slapped for double doctering. It's hard to find a family docter that actually cares about your ailments plus has a vast medical knowlege. I do NOT want to lose him as a docter! 	1	2	5	5 
79	1	This doctor saved my life.  With my first visit he knew there was something seriously wrong with my health.  My family doctor before that, who was my doctor for 16 years, had no clue.I will never forget what Dr. Wachtler did for me.He is very open and tells you how it is.A great family doctor. 	3	3	5	5 
79	1	Very knowledgeable and helpful and took the time to discuss my health, medications, and treatment options. Will definitely be returning and bringing my entire family. He was the opposite of Dr Van Rooyen (whom we're never returning to) and appeared to genuinely be concerned for my well-being. Only drawback was the wait - took me two hours to see him since the clinic (which was also a walk-in) was packed to the rafters with patients. Also, the clinic was in a dive of a building. 	5	1	5	5 
79	0	during a yearly physical placed an extremely hot instrument into my vagina despite being warned by the nurse and made light of it when I protested at how hot it was, also I never was able to get in and out of the office in under 3 hours as he is so slow 		1	3	3 
79	1	this doctor is the best doctor i have ever seen and he knows what he he talking about and cares for the people he sees i would tell all my frieds and family about him 		4	5	5 
79	1	this doctor shows concern for his patients-and takes time to hear-but being in a walk-in inviroment - it would be helpful if the diagnostics could be made quicker between patients/waited 3hrs (it was my second visit)but never got to see the doctor-had to leave for another appointment-was disappointed. 		3	5	4 
79	0	Misdiagnosed mononucleosis; haven't trusted him since. 		3	3	2 
79	1	An Extremely knowledgeable Dr. Certainly an asset to Alta,s rapidly shrinking family physician base.A kind and caring Dr.and EXTREMELY thorough. Over the top diagnostic skills as well as procedure ability. I have and certainly would refer my family and friends to this Doctor! 		5	5	5 
80	-1	Ignored my background condition of heart and stroke and diabetes and  misdiagnosed me with a weird condition based on my country of origin and race. All the meds he prescribed for me were later cancelled by my family doctor as being unsuitable for my condition. He did apologize but after the fact.  Would never recommend this sadistic doctor. 	3	3	1	2 
80	-1	Uncaring &amp; arrogant w/ a complete lack of kindness. Saw him at the stoke clinic. He kept me waiting an hour +. Once I saw him, he focused completely on my weight, which is somewhat fair as it is definitely a contributing factor. However he was mean, and made several derogatory comments to me, and about my husband &amp; his weight, saying things like &quot;send him to McDonalds for a hamburger if he doesn't like the supper you make&quot; (my husband wasn't even with me for the appointment!) Didn't read my chart, which was evidenced by the questions he asked &amp; the shocked look on his face w/ the answers. Did not ask my what my weight loss experiences were, how much I had previously lost, or what had worked, but instead gave two useless solutions that did not take into account my other issues like my insulin resistance (documented in my chart).  Changed most of meds that had been prescribed days earlier by ER doc, w/ NO expln.  He seemed very uninteresting in helping me w/stoke prob. as I am heavy. 	5	1	1	3 
80	1	Dr. Watson is currently caring for my father who suffered a stroke on 8/16/09.  He has taken the time to explain to my sister and I, what is going on, what the prognosis is and the treatment he must have to treat the problem.  Dad currently has a carotid artery that is 99% blocked and he has taken VERY methodical steps to prepare my Dad for surgery to remove blockage.  My trust level in this man is almost the same as I trust my Dad (and that is ALOT!).  This guy knows what he's doing and my Dad is in the best hands at FMC for his condition.  His explanations have been in terms that we can understand (and my sister is a Nurse) so she gets this a little more than I, but he definitely takes the time WE need until we understand everything that is going on.  Would highly recommend this Doctor. 	5	5	5	5 
80	1	I turned up at my GP's office with flagrant neurological symptoms and was seen immediately at Foothills Hospital by Dr Watson, who'd been given the run-down by my GP and told me right away what he thought my diagnosis was - later confirmed by tests. He didn't beat around the bush, which was fine by me. I knew I had a neurological problem about which I'd been in denial and at last the jig was up! 	5	5	5	5 
80	1	Very helpful. He explained everything that he could to me after my MRI. He took time to make sure that I understood what was going on and what I needed to do next. Good sense of humour too. 		4	5	5 
80	1	I worked with Dr.Watson as a student nurse. He spent a lot of time explaining things to the nursing staff, and to the patients. He was gentle and caring all of the time. In my opinion, he is the best neurologist in Calgary. 		5	5	5 
80	0	I was referred to this Doctor for facial pain. He used this opportunity to belittle me about my over weight condition ( which had nothing to do with the facial pain or the reason I was referred to him) and did very little to answer my questions about the facial pain. I would never go to him again. 		4	1	4 
81	-1	I was referred to him by my family Dr as I had a very raspy voice and sometimes no sound would come out when I was speaking.  After a 40 minute wait for a scheduled appointment, I went into his filthy examination room.  He asked me if I was a smoker (which I am not), and nothing else.  I'm not sure he even knew why I was there.  He looked in my ears and up my nose. He tore off a piece of rough paper towel and grabbed my tongue with it, squeezing and pulling, while shoving an instrument down my throat until I began choking, and I was forced to shove him away as I could not breathe.  He did not wipe the instrument off before or after use and placed it back where he got it from. In less than 50 seconds he diagnosed me with acid reflux.  Did not ask about heartburn, or what types of foods I ate or drank. He did not even make eye contact with me.  It was one of the worst Dr/Patient experiences I have ever had.  Avoid this Doctor. 	 6/26/11	2	1	1
81	1	Saw him in July 2010 for diagnosis/ referral for a Deviated Septum and Rhinoplasty surger to another ENT (not sure he does surgery anymore). He seemed very knowledgable and friendly. Checked in my nose 2x to ensure he was correct in his diagnosis. Offered for me to come back if needed anytime. 	 5/6/11	5	5	5
81	1	I have always found Dr. Wagner to be very helpful and knowledgeable.   He has kept up with his continuing medical education.   I have seen him more than once over the years mainly for my ears and hearing.    He has helped me where other ear nose and throat specialists have not.   He has given me literature regarding the noise in my ears and has cleaned out my ears and advised me re my hearing aids.   I will be very sorry to see the day when he eventually retires. 	3	4	5	5 
81	1	I was referred to Dr. Wagner by my family physician for ear infection and resultant hearing loss. He was gentle with the exam, gave good information, a new prescription and follow-up appointment in 10 days with a plan for further treatment if there is no improvement.  I was nervous about seeing him after reading the negative comments on the site, but my experience was very positive and would not hesitate to see him again. 	4	5	4	4 
81	-1	0,0,0,0. Dr. G. A. Wagner was the worst doctor I have ever seen. I went to see him about my sinus problems that I had been having. I was getting repeat sinus infections about 6 a year that lasted 2-3 weeks each time. I was absolutely certain before seeing him that I had Sinusitis and so was my family doctor. He was late for my appointment and his staff was overly rude. He was very blunt and seemed rushed. He used some sort of instrument that must have been from the 60’s to look up my nose that was extremely painful. Also I remembered latter it was not sitting in any sterilizer or didn’t appear to be cleaned at all and after he placed it right back onto his counter surrounded by magazines from the waiting room. In total he had diagnosed me with nothing in under 2 minutes flat, a appointment that took me 3 months to get in. All I gained from seeing him was a sinus infection that could have been from his unsterilized instatement. Save your time and go to someone else. 	1	1	1	1 
81	-1	I also was alarmed by the unkept state of Dr Wagner's office, and my initial thought was &quot;this is not a clean environment&quot;. What's more alarming is that I'm sure he infected me after placing (what I'm sure was an unsterilized instrument)up my nose.  The day after my appointment I woke up with puffy and translucent eyes, and my throat was soar (but I din't have a cold) and my nose and chin were very itchy.  Over the next couple of days small bumps developed under the skin on my face, and my face felt like I'd received a burn. Eventually the skin started to peel from my nose and chin, and the redness/burn are finally going away (it's now been one week since my visit).  Although I'm relieved, I'm wondering if this was a one time occurrence, or if I'm in line for future outbreaks. I'm writing this because I don't want anyone else to be infected in this manner; I have no doubt the tool used to probe my nose was a bacteria trap and a host for who knows what else&#63; 	2	5	2	2 
81	-1	Is there nothing below zero to rate this guy&#63;&#63;  He was referred to by a family doctor, and my Dad visited him for ear cleaning. he used my Dad as a guinea pig trying different options, until he completely lost his hearing in one ear after trying one of his magic drops!!, his office is filthy, and he should be stopped from practicing this.  Family doctors should be educated to stop destroying people’s lives and referring them to bad doctors like these!. 	 7/27/09	1	1	1
81	1	Dr. Wagner was pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable.  He didn't insist that my children have the nasal scope which others have and was a horrible experience for my children. 	4	4	5	5 
81	-1	I saw 3 different doctors at a walk-in clinic before I was referenced to a specialist. The three doctors agreed that I had a problem with my  eyes, ears and sinuses. Dr. Wagner would ask me questions but never let me even come close to answering what was going on. He looked at me for about 2 minutes and told me to come back in a year. It's a month later and I'm still in pain concerning my eyes, ears and sinuses. 	2	4	1	1 
81	-1	I needed to see another specialist due to the fact Dr.Wagner photocopies these genertic reason of reflux which he states is the reason why the pt. has a sore throat.  This doctor is dangerous and outdated. 	4	2	1	1 
81	-1	I visited Dr W in 1998 because of tinitus; the communiction was very short, however he did send me for a test. For this reason I did not give him the lowest grade, because sadly enough, that was more than some of the other doctors I've seen have done for me! I paid Dr W another vist in 2007, this time I had a strong imbalnce/dizziness; once again the communication was short and to the point. He did however give an acurate diagnosis, it's just a matter of getting him to explain it. Point is that he won't explain, and he is very blunt! I have seen several other ENT's and oddly enough, Dr. W was not the worst! To all those people out there with ear problems such as tinitus or dizziness, I'd like to encourgae you to stay positive! Getting diagnosed is important, but in a lot of cases it is permant nerve damage. The only way to live with the condition is to give your brain time to compensate for the deficiency. Things will get better, even when doctors can't do anything for you! 	3	3	2	2 
81	-1	I saw dr.wagner a couple of years ago i went with my grandma for ringing in my ear and i got recommended to him from my family doctor. it took a while to actually see him and he was very rude, he checked my throat using a tongue depresser but almost choked me with it. we waited awhile for the results he called us back in, we were hoping with a good diganosis. only for him to tell us its permanent then we left, less than 2 minutes with him to tell us its permanent and for us to take 45 minutues to see him. 	1	1	1	1 
81	-1	Saw Dr. Wagner for reoccuring nose bleeds. He suggested cauterization and offered to remove the bump on the bridge of my nose at the same time. All I remember is having him shove packing up my nose before I woke up with my nose 1cm off centre. When I confronted him with what he had done he said he had pictures of me before (as did I). My nose was not off centre before my operation! He tried to push it back into place by hand! Then offered to fix it, ya right. I had to wait 6 weeks and then have my nose fixed by a plastic surgeon. Yes, I did consult a lawyer. 	3	3	2	2 
81	-1	Dr. Wagner was correct with my diagnosis, but did little to help.  He gave me some things to try and then told me to come back if it didn't help...I had waited two months to get in the first time.  The second time I went in, it was because those things weren't helping; he examined me quite roughly, then proceeded to tell me the exact same thing he told me last time, and prescribe the same things to do....I informed him that that was exactly what he told me last time.  When I asked if my condition would improve he stated &quot;I make no guarentees&quot;.  I'm sure, in his time, he was good...but I think he now wants to retire or something. 	5	5	1	2 
81	-1	I saw this doctor due to tinnitus and hyperacusis.  He did not help me at all.  I found him to be very rough and did not listen or answer my concerns.  He might have been good in his day, but I think he he likely ready to retire. 	2	1	1	1 
81	1	My daughter had a growth in one of her nasal cavities and Dr. Wagner removed it easily and with no complications.  She was very happy with him.  His office and equipment may be something out of the 1960's and he may not be great at diagnosing anything out of the ordinary.  His people skills are almost non-existent.  BUT HE IS DEFINITELY A GOOD SURGEON! 	4	4	4	4 
81	-1	Went to see Dr. Wagner with severe nasal condestion and bleeding problems.  Dr. communivated with me in mono syllables and could not answer any of my questions anyway. All he was interested in was to cauterize my nose.  He offered no information whatsoever on the procedure itself or how to care for the cauterized nose.  It took a couple of visits before things stopped bleeding. 	5	4	1	2 
81	-1	I went to him on a referral even though my GP had informed me in advance that &quot;he's not the best&quot;. I had a drainage and popping in my right ear that occurred every couple of years. His solution was surgery,(tympanoplasty, and modified radical mastoidectomy), and after signing a waiver, covering him should there be any loss of hearing, had the surgery done. I was assured that hearing loss due to this surgery was very rare. I now cannot hear out of that hear and suffer tinnitus 24 hrs a day (ringing in the ear). In addition, when I returned regularly for the packing change after surgery, he was rude and extremely rough causing me immense pain. Were I not a gentleman, I would have struck him. Get a second opinion or better yet, avoid him if at all possible. 	2	4	1	1 
81	-1	Extremely poor with communication; &quot;none&quot; I had two serious concerns, is why my GP sent me, sayiing he was closest to where I lived, but warned he would be short with me. That was ok by me. But I did need him to listen to me. He told me over and over that my voice sounded fine.I was not there about how my voice sounded, but needed to know why I coughed so much at times for no reason. He never ever let me say one word; not even answer him. This I was trying to ask to his back as he walked out of his office, telling me to come back in a year, no two years, no one year. I now was kind of yelling out loud at him saying &quot;listen, listen&quot; & added, still talking to his back, that when I blew my nose my coughing would stop. To that he just replied, still with his back to me &quot;Interesting&quot; My husband was shocked to see me out so fast. Never got close to asking my other worrisome question. I was 2 for 2; no answers at all It was truly a waste of health care dollars, and my time. 	1	5	1	2 
81	1	It's true that Dr. Wagner's office could use some updating but from our experience, he seems competent enough. My daughter saw Dr. Wagner after she broke her nose. After a couple of years (she had to wait because of her age), Dr. Wagner did the surgery on her deviated septum. He did a great job. She can breathe a lot better, and her nose looks normal, like it was never broken. 	3	3	4	4 
81	-1	Went to him only once. The reason he might have acted so badly might have been because I didn't know the city and got lost and was about half an hour late at the end of the day. (He may have had an important appointment afterward). In any case I would never go back. Regarding the previous comment, I have to agree that he has rather old and odd-looking equipment and things, like the little cup with fire under it to sterilize the equipment. That too made me uneasy possibly because of my own lack of knowledge about not knowing whether that would be the best way to operate or the worst. 	 5/13/07		5	1
81	-1	Did not discuss my diagnosis with me. Handed me a paper that I later read. It was exercises. I have no idea what the prgram is for or the expectations of it. It gave me two different diagnosies and explained neither. The office is totally outdated with rickety chairs. He has invested $0 in comfort for patients. His certificates have faded dates on them so you cannot tell how long he has been in practice. I estimate that he is past retirement. I will not return to this doctor. 		4	1	2 
82	1	Doctor Wagg was able to essentially reattach my leg after a very severe car accident. he was honest and straight forward and very helpful through the year of recovery. i now able able to walk with no aids and have slight restrictions in motion. Better then some who would have chopped the leg off and not spent the time to repair. Best Doc ever. 	5	5	5	5 
82	1	I was in a severe car accident a couple years back and just about lost both my legs. I was in the u of a for about 6 months, glenrose for a 6 more, and today i'm walking. Dr wagg did an extrordinary job and gave me a gift, I can't thank him enough, best doctor i've ever heard or seen, He listens, wicked bedside manners and just give you the time of day, oh and his smile  can brighten anyones day no matters how rough of shape your in. Its people like him that make this world a nice place to live. 	5	5	5	5 
82	1	Dr James Wagg saved my daughter's left foot after she was in a serious car accident . he was so matter fo fact with us and explained in detail the damage and the surgery he was going to perform . He also stopped in to check on her while on his way to catch a flight with his family for his annual vacation..............very respectful doctor and I am sad he moved away to the maritimes .... 	5	5	5	5 
82	1	Great Doc! Nice guy, really listened to what I had to say. Very knowledgable, very competent. my leg feels great! 		4	5	5 
82	1	great doctor... not very sympathetic... he's a very take charge, driven type a guy. but he knows his stuff and he saved my life. his morning wake up calls could use some improvement though! i would def. recommend! 		4	4	5 
83	1	Absolutely wonderful Dr. If only they were all like Dr. Wash. 	5	5	5	5 
83	1	Dr Wash is an amazing Dr he is very very caring, helpful and informative! He is everything a family Dr should be he completely takes care of you!!! He has taken Great care of my family. 	3	4	5	5 
83	1	Found him to be very caring doctor and helpful with his advice.  Unfortunately he does not have a family practice anymore, but if he does start up again I would definitely recommend him. 	4	4	4	4 
84	1	Dr. Walcott has been so wonderful to deal with. On the first visit he spent a long time listening to my complaints, and knew exactly how to treat me. I've seen a # of chiropractors and he was the first one able to relieve my pains just by my describing them. He is always friendly and funny. He always has a smile and a joke. He never forgets you or what is going on in your life no matter how long it's been since you've seen him. I have recommended him to many friends and co-workers and will continue to do so. 		5	5	5 
85	0	He's an average doctor.  He does not always make me feel comfortable.  But he is very polite.  His diagnosis is not always accurate.  A proper visit should always be asking what you are here for, take your heart rate, check ears, throat etc.. and then prescribe or refer you somewhere else which he never does.  He only asks why I am there and gives me prescription then I leave.  I wish I could find a doctor that actually cares about me and my family. 	5	5	3	3 
85	1	Best Dr. in Calgary! Very friendly and answers all your questions. You can only seem him on a walk-in basis, but the good part is the wait is never that long. Staff is also very friendly and helpful. 	5	5	5	5 
85	1	Best doctor I've ever seen in Calgary. It's pity he didnt take appts. You have to walk in and wait. But still worth. He is amazing and very friendly!~ 	5	5	5	5 
85	1	Very good with some diagnoses, but others which are foreign or antagonistic to his Chinese ethnic background and values, he is not good. 	5	5	4	4 
85	1	Absolutely amazing, best GP in the city in my opinion!! Always listens and is very funny and helpful 	4	5	5	5 
85	1	He is good. That asia lady locum is very unpatient which make me uncomfortable last time. 	3	5	5	5 
85	1	I always phone the clinic before I walk in. Dr.Wang can always give me the answer and lead me to proper examinations. The examination result follow up is good and on time. Dr. Wang can answer me questions not only focus on one symptom. I know lot of doctors would ask patient to come in several times for different health concerns. 	4	5	5	5 
85	-1	not really friendly, rude.  Doesn't seem really knowledgeable. 	2	2	1	2 
85	1	He is a good doctor, it's just that he uses locums alot and I never get to see him. He doesn't seem to be in the doctoring business to see patients. I really disliked the locums - no bedside manner, and not too knowledgable. 		5	4	4 
86	1	we would like to thank Dr. Wasey, she performed an emergency appendectomy on our 17 year old son.  It was a mess and Dr. Wasey did her best with the surgey and the follow up.  Great bedside manner. 	5	5	5	5 
86	1	I would to take this opportunity and thank Dr W for comming to the Sturgeon on her day off on a Friday night and remove my aching appendix and her med student as well almost forgot(lol) her team and the hosp crew were fantastic with me and Ill be seeing her in 4to 6 weeks FM 	5	5	5	5 
86	1	Dr. Wasey and her team at the Outpatient Department of the Sturgeon are the best! I have a complex medical history that requires certain surgical precautions, and each team member took the time to prepare and to incorporate the precautions into my care plan. The anaesthesiologist (Dr. Singh) met with me to be sure of my medication needs. What also really stood out was the collegiality of the team; everyone worked really well together - and with cheerfulness! Whoever says that the Canadian medical system is no good hasn't found Dr. Wasey and the Outpatient Team at the Sturgeon! Thanks everyone! 	5	5	5	5 
86	1	I was sent to her when diagnosed with breast cancer, she gave me my options, was very knowledgeable, performed my surgury and all is well. She seems to be highly respected by staff at St.Albert hospital and I have a lot of respect for her too.(2009)She is very positive and cheerful and she should find staff that are more like her to take calls and appointments in her office. 	4	4	5	5 
86	1	Dr. Wasey repaired an inguinal hernia for me several years ago. She did a beautiful job with very little scarring evident and I've never had a problem with the hernia since. Lovely bedside manner and she informs her patients of all options available. Would not hesitate to see her again. 	5	5	5	5 
86	0	I had my gallbladder removed by doctor Wasey two weeks ago. The gallstones resulted in acute pancreatitis... My stay at the Hospital prior to having my gallbladder removed was great, I was well taken care of and doctor Wasey was fantastic. However I ws very dissapointed right after my surgery when I got released... I was not told of any special diet to follow (the nurses at the desk told me to follow a low fat diet and slowly get back to regular diet). Unfortunatelly that's not the case with pancreatitis, as I was rushed back to the Hospital a week after my surgery with another attack of pancreatitis and the doctor there could not believe that no one gave me more information. I am still sufering and am on a liquid diet and it's a long battle, I am searching for someone knowledgable enough to help me through this. Although I respect the doctor and staff I am very sad I was sent home with no information :( I just hope I'll make it through this and find my answers! 	4	4	3	3 
86	-1	My wife was referred to her in 2007 to help out with her adhesion and scar tissue issues. After several tests Dr. Wasey informed my wife she didn't need surgery and probably had IBS. The one time I met her she dismissed my questions like they were unimportant. Even with the years of medical history my wife has had with the same problem Dr. Wasey didn't seem interested in helping the situation. My wife is now nearly obstructed and on clear fluids (even that causes her pain). We are patiently waiting for a Dr. that might actually help my wife instead of putting her through a bunch of tests and saying &quot;sorry, can't help. Good luck!&quot; before she obstructs (which will probably be any day now) and ends up in emergency surgery where the surgeon will no doubtedly state AGAIN that the problem was scar tissue and adhesions. 	5	3	1	2 
86	1	I recently had an elective surgery to remove a lipoma from my left shoulder, during the proceedure I suffered a drop in pulse and blood pressure, causing me to feel quite ill. Dr Wasey and her staff  not only rectified the problem, they were all extremely caring and understanding while doing so. I have never had such compasion from a Doctor, let alone a surgeon. I cannot say enough good thigs about Dr Wasey and I would have absolutley no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. 	5	5	5	5 
86	1	Dr Wasey is wonderful in every way.It's nice to have a Dr. in St. Albert like her. Very compassionate, caring and has no problem answering questions. 		5	5	5 
86	1	Dr Wassey preforomed major surgery on me a year ago. First, however, she tried to find an alternative treatment. I was diagnosed with Crohn's and she tried to treat it with Steriods before having to open me up. In the end, I did have to have the surgery. I am so glad it was her who preformed it. She was very caring and informative afterwards which made my stay in the hospital much easier. Thanks Dr Wassey 		5	5	5 
86	1	Dr. Wasey is incredible. I was admitted into emergency with an inflamed gallbladder due to gallstones. She talked me through any and all alternatives to surgery and it was mutually agreed that my gallbladder be removed. I survived, and in one week after surgery was able to dig and plant my garden as well as push my disabled son's wheelchair for 5 km walks. I have consulted with Naureen regarding an inguinal hernia surgery option for my (brain injured) disabled 22 year old son. I trust her, and I do not trust doctors easily, since my son suffered a brain insult due to another doctor's negligence. 		5	5	5 
86	1	I had Dr. Wasey for my surgeon when I had my Gallbladder removed. She was approacable and knowledgeable. I had a few worries that she addressed very well so that I could feel confident going into surgery. She performed the surgery well and I couldn't be happier. I was refered to her from a different surgeon and I am happy that he did. She was great and I recommend her to anyone who gets to go to her. 		5	5	5 
86	1	Dr. Naureen Wasey earned my respect and trust during a recent Major surgery in St. Albert. I would consider her to be one of those rare Doctors out there, that truly cared and showed it in here bedside manners and follow-up. Dr. Wasey consulted with others at the Sturgeon Hospital and canvassed their opinions, another indicator that she was not to proud to ask for help, when I needed it the most. Please keep up the Great Work Dr. Wasey, and it was absolute pleasure having you as my Surgeon. 		5	5	5 
87	1	Very professional.. Very honest 		5	5	5 
88	1	Dr. Walker is punctual, professional, kind, courteous, and most importantly, knowledgeable. He provided accurate information and even discussed different options for treatment; I couldn't have asked for better services. 	5	5	5	5 
88	1	Saw him Northern Light Emerg.  Very pleasant and knowlegable.  At 07:00 he was relieved by Dr. Dufresne who is a complete douchbag 	5	4	5	5 
88	1	Dr.Walker just operated on my toe... really really nice gentleman - obviously well versed in the symantics of emergency medicine and patient care... now all McMurray needs is a provincial government that actually staffs a hospital properly... 	5	5	5	5 
88	1	Excellent doctor! then he left us and went to fort mac!! come back down south!! 	5	5	5	5 
88	1	Best doctor ever! I have not trusted any doctor since he left Edson and I have seen many around the area in the past years! You are greatly missed! AnxiousS :) 	5	5	5	5 
88	1	Dr. Walker used to be in Edson and was the ultimate doctor. I have never been treated so good nor have I been helped so fast. Anyone would be lucky to see him. Come back to Edson anytime Dr. Walker! 		5	5	5 
88	1	Dr. Walker was a fantastic family doctor,who didn't keep his patients waiting unless absolutely necessary.He is a very professional,polite,compassionate,caring man.He clearly explains your test results.He treats my husband and me,in a respectable manner and will exhaust himself to find out what our problem is and try to help you the best he can.If still unsure he will refer us to a specialist, to get to the root of the problem.Unfortunately he left his family practice in St.Albert and went into Emergency medicine.He did say he would be back,so if anyone sees his name on the Capital Health list we would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone.He is excellent with all age groups. 		4	5	5 
89	-1	I went to this Dr. for year's with pain in my hip's. He kept telling me it was just burcitis and gave me pain killer's. It kept getting worse to the point I could hardly walk. I went to him and he told me to suck it up and go back to work. So I went out to the front and made an appt with another Doc and 3 yrs later and with more than enough help and support from the other Doc getting me into spec I am being dealt with. But because of that idiot I have diseses of my spine, walk with a walker (when I can walk), unable to work the rest of my life, and can't do anything without being in major pain. The pain is minor other wise due to having to take morphine 3 time's a day and the dosage not small. If that idiot had just looked into it more I would not be in this shape they could have stopped the progresion and at my young age would have some kind of life, instead of being stuck like I am. I have nothing nice tosay about this man, as a 40ich person should not be in this shape due to a doc. 	5	1	1	1 
89	1	extremely compassionate, spent a great deal of time with me making sure that I understood my diagnosis and treatment.  I would highly recommend him. 	5	4	5	5 
89	-1	Terrible experience, I was really disappointed by lack of interest and being unable to listen and address my need. 	4	2	1	2 
89	-1	I find Dr. Wade to be a Dr. who does not listen to what you say to him. I recentley went in for some tests and then went to his office for results.He gave me a very mixed up answer which left me with more questions. Then 3 weeks later phoned to see if I had seen the Dr. that had done my tests as there were some real concerns. (he had forgotten he talked to me in the office..notes might have been handy) Thankful the other Dr. listened and I am now havine major surgery. Would not recommend him as he seems to be to busy with his own life! 	3	2	1	3 
89	0	Dr.Wade was my doctor when I gave birth to my daughter, which was a very tough and almost dangerous delivery. He was very helpful and got us both thru it without any damage done! I saw him for a few years after and always found him kind, humorous and helpful, tho sometimes I wondered why he did give me medications without looking deeper into the route of the problem! I no longer see him, but will always remember him as a funny and good DR! :) 	3	3	3	3 
89	1	Often late due to covering emergency room as well.  Good knowledge and patient interaction skills 	2	2	4	4 
89	-1	This man is not very good, in my opinion. He had me on 5 separate meds (at one time!), 3 of which were for depression. I found his manners to be deplorable (extremely rude) and i was never warned as to what the side effects were on ANY of the medications i took. This man needs his liscence to practice medicine revoked. 	2	3	1	1 
89	0	He recently treated a close friend of mine,not only was she missed diagnosed but she was given medications before any medical investigation done.I managed to get my friend to see my GP and she was taking off the medications and properly diagnosed.This Dr needs to go back to school. 	2	2	3	2 
89	1	I like Dr. Wade and I found him to be professional, caring and humourous. It is nice to be able to have a friendly conversation and to feel like a human being instead of a number. My condition was serious, a cancer patient, but he put me at ease and I knew that I was in good hands. Thanks Dr. Wade. 	3	4	5	5 
89	0	During a recent appointment with him, Dr. Wade brought up some local gossip about my stepchildren that was unpleasant and untrue. So I set the record straight with him, but he did not apologise. By chance a friend of mine who works in the hospital had a similar encounter where he accused her of mismanaging a patients case, but this was also based on gossip and untrue. I know a lady who works in the Clinic - she told me that he is billing Alberta Health for PAP tests done by a Clinic Nurse. 	5	4	2	3 
89	1	dr wade has been my dr since i was a child and i have great confidence that he will continue his greatness onto my children, I find him thorough and eagar to help. Though he can be rushed at times it is a small town the demand is high. dr wade has a great sense of humour and knows when to be professional and when to lighten the mood.. great job len 		4	5	5 
89	0	While Dr. Wade is very knowledgeable, I have found his bedside manner to be lacking in recent times. Before, he was a fabulous doctor, one I trusted completely and was always thorough and knowledgeable. Now, when I see him I feel rushed and as if my health problems aren't a concern for him. He tends to sweep some minor ailments under the rug instead of helping find a way to cope or heal the issue, especially with children and minor ailments. 		4	2	4 
89	1	Great sense of humour; thorough. 		2	4	4 
89	1	Wonderful... and very caring. Thorough! 		5	5	5 
89	1	very good family doctor 		5	5	5 
90	1	Good doctor-patient rapport, nice doctor, very helpfull, 	3	4	5	4 
90	1	Excellent and knowledgeable doctor who takes time to listen and solve problems in this busy practice. 	4	5	5	5 
90	1	Wang has been my doctor at the Alex for about two year.I have found that she is most kind and treats seniors with repect and takes the time to listen.I have suggested and asked for different medications and treatments and she has always done her best to accommodate me with providing answers and remains open to suggestions and is willing to take the time to listen. 	5	5	5	5 
90	-1	IAM DISSAPOINTED ABOUT HIS SERVICE,HE NEEDS TOREAD MORE,TO HAVE BETTER PUBLIC SERVICE,BE AWAY FROM HIS CLINIC 	1	1	1	1 
91	0	I have been going to her for years.  The wait I can deal with, but the Secretary Ann is rude, and probably couldn't care less about patients!  Recently was in a car accident, as Dr.Watty &quot;Hates Lawyers and didn't want to deal with mine&quot; the paperwork was filled out incorrectly... she also never had xrays or anything done for me.. have moved Dr.'s since.  Also, since Alberta Health Care becoming free, she came out with her list of things she will still charge you for (CRAZY PRICES!!) And now sells her own insurance you can purchase which will allow her to do the complete job for you without extra added costs... If that wasn't enough, in the last year she has now created a regular plan or a premium plan with different lists of things she will charge extra for.  I agree with others on this sight that clearly she cares more about $$ than her patients.  Also if you want to make an appointment goodluck, she works very few hours (Clearly the extra charges are paying off)and no answering machin 	1	2	1	4 
91	1	I have been going to Dr Watty since 1992 and have always found her helpful, courteous, caring and sincere. I would recommend her without hesitation. However, her receptionist, Ann, is cold, abrupt, rude and basically NOT a pleasure to deal with. Get past Ann and you'll be very happy with Dr Watty. 	1	3	5	5 
91	1	Dr Watty is one of the best, of course you have to wait a bit, but nothing like going to a clinic, she is ponctual, caring, knowledgeable and helpful. so is Ann, I can't even fathom why she would be critized, I don't usually these, was just looking for her address but had to respond. anyway, for those who don't appreciate her services and Ann, they should change doctors, 	5	5	5	5 
91	1	Dr. Watty is amazing.  I have been seeing her for almost 20 years.  She always listens and refers you to specialists whenever needed.  She never rushes and is very empathetic.  I often have to wait in reception for appointments but this is due to the fact that they are always willing to take on patients who urgently need a same day appointment.  I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Watty for my family physician. 	5	4	5	5 
91	-1	Is basically useless.  Have been going for years why I don't know.  Waste of time and let me tell you it is a lot of time - if you get to see her in an hour or less you fell like you have won the lottery. 	1	1	1	2 
91	1	I have been seeing Dr. Watty for 20 years and she is a wonderful person.  Very knowledgeable and caring.  My only complaints are that I have to wait sometimes a half hour to 45 minutes til my name is finally called and I find the receptionist, Ann very abrupt. 	1	1	4	5 
91	1	I LOVE Dr. Watty and have been seeing her since 1998, immediately after being diagnosed with MS. She is quick to look for reasons for symptoms, and does not brush you off at all! 	5	5	5	5 
91	1	Margaret is awesome.  She's been my family doctor since my mom recommended her (Mom worked for her father in Lethbridge).  I can *always* get an appointment when I need to see her, usually the same day. 	4	2	5	5 
91	1	Dr. Watty is a great doctor. I have been seeing her for 2 years. She is very helpful and kind. She will spend as much time as you need and I have never felt as though she was rushing me out the door. 	2	4	5	5 
91	1	My family has been with Dr. Watty for almost 20 yrs. We've found her to be knowledgeable, helpful and personable. My daughters (now grown up) have long left Calgary but still remember Dr. Watty fondly. 	4	2	5	5 
91	1	I have been a patient of Dr Watty's for over 20 years.  I am confident as her patient and she always makes sure all of my questions are answered.  Her referrals to specialists have always been to my best advantage.  Dr. Watty is a caring & hard working lady for whom I have a lot of respect & am glad to have her as my doctor.  I also love her receptionist Ann! 	5	4	5	4 
91	0	I feel she is a caring doctor but I sense she cares more about the $$ then the well-being of her patient and is over-controlled by the pharmaceutical industry in terms of how she prescribes medication inappropriately 	2	3	3	2 
91	1	Dr. Watty is amazing! She is always so friendly, and no matter what question I have she knows the answer as well as a solution.  She always remembers personal details and is always such a pleasure to see because of her knowledge and attitude.  Although there is this dragon of a nurse who isn't nice to anyone! 	1	4	5	5 
91	1	I have had Dr. Watty as my GP for the past 14 years and have found her to be very good.  She has always been available when I needed her or provided an alternative.  She appears to be genuinely interested in not only me as a patient but also me as a person.  I am very fortunate to have her as my doctor. 	5	4	5	5 
91	0	Did not provide a referral to a pediatrician when asked.  I also find that she doesn't provide options, just gives the one option she finds would be &quot;best&quot;.  I feel she isn't empathetic for problems that come up if they are minor or not out of the norm.  She basically says deal with it, I don't want to hear about it. 	1	2	2	4 
91	1	She is amazing! Dr. W. was my doc for 10 or so years until we moved to BC. I haven't been able to find anyone nearly as caring, competent and trust inspiring. You Calgarians are so-o-o lucky. 	3	3	5	5 
91	-1	Uncaring person. After I had been off on mat leave and returned to work I caught every flu bug imaginable, likely due to fatigue and being away from the mainstream so long. When I went to visit her to for a note for my return to work, I broke down in tears due to fatigue and exhaustion at being a new mother and handling a return to work. Callously, she called me a &quot;basket case&quot;. I immediately sought out a new family doctor who has compassion for patients. 	3	3	1	3 
91	1	Dr. Watty has been our family doctor for 10 years. She is a very caring, no nonsense doctor and makes me feel very comfortable. She is not an alarmist like some of my doctors in the past have been. My children, who are both in their teens, feel very comfortable discussing their issues with her. The only negative comment that I could make is that it is difficult to get through to the receptionist at times. 		2	5	5 
91	1	I've been seeing Dr. Watty for about 15 years, usually just once a year for my annual check-up. She always listens attentively to whatever concerns I may have,answers all my questions, then takes action to request tests and/or refer me to specialists to diagnose and treat any conditions. She doesn't make assumptions by guessing what might be wrong. She always bases her advice on data collected. She is always respectful, professional, polite, collaborative, cheerful, helpful and a most genuine person, a person with little ego and a humble heart. I am extremely grateful for her expertise that manifests through a great big compassionate heart! 		3	5	5 
91	1	Very nice and compassionate woman - I have been a patient for over 10 years and she is terrific. 		4	5	5 
91	1	Dr.Watty is a wonderful doctor very thankful to have her as my doctor, very pleased with her care. 		5	5	5 
91	1	Excellent doctor - I have been seeing Margaret Watty for over 20 years and am pleased with her patient care. 		4	5	5 
91	1	Dr. Watty is courteous, helpful and listens when you have a serious problem. Quick to think of solutions, and is serious about her follow up activity. Excellent Doctor 		4	5	5 
91	1	Margaret is fantastic! As a long time patient with chronic issues, I never have a problem getting in to see her (granted, you have to try over & over again to get through to reception, but once I'm through, I get appointments). Punctuality is horrible, but I appreciate being able to get in to see her when I really need to, so I just sit & read when she's late. She always listens fully & explains things to me - whether it's another test, or a new medication. 		2	5	5 
91	1	very compassionate and caring. takes your concerns seriously. wonderful with my children as well. 		5	5	5 
91	1	Helpful and knowledgeable when you get to see her -- is very busy so I have seen a locum the last few times. Very difficult to get through to her office on the phone. 		3	4	4 
91	0	Dr. had the nurse phone to tell me that my cholesteral was high. When I asked when I should come back in to discuss it and ways to manage the nurse told me to call her back in 3 months and she would request another test and we would discuss it then. This did not make me feel comfortable at all. 		4	2	3 
91	1	Excellent physician in every sense. Bends over backwards to make patient comfortable. 		5	5	5 
92	1	My daughter has a rare chronic kidney disease for which we see Dr. Wade.  My family has moved several times over the years, so we have seen several nephrologists during this time.  Dr. Wade will be the 3rd ped nephrologist we have seen in Calgary as well.  (The first was often away on maternity leave, the second we were not pleased with.)  Dr. Wade by far surpasses all other doctors we have ever seen in terms of answering questions, bedside manner, spending time going over labs, and being available to answer questions.  My daughter and I love Dr. Wade! 	4	4	5	5 
92	1	We, as a family, would like to echo everyone else who has posted very positive comments on Dr. Wade's knowledge, friendly bed side manner, impressive memory of the family and the family situation which he uses in his holistic approach to treatment and his ability to translate complex and sophisticated issues into understandable language that aids immensely in decision-making.  He is a rare doctor who understands, at a young age, that his role is much more than &quot;technician&quot;.  He combines his skill and expertise with a truly caring way that instills confidence in patient and family that is often sorely lacking in a large, fast-paced institutional setting.  We often wonder if it is possible for Dr. Wade, when he mentors other doctors, to &quot;teach&quot; compassion for Dr. Wade truly epitomizes the doctor as &quot;care giver&quot;.  If we had known this rating site existed earlier, we would hve posted this same message years ago... 	4	4	5	5 
92	1	Dr. Wade is my hero. My family and I were terrified when I was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease when I was 7 but Dr. Wade helped us so much in understanding the situation and geting us through it. He spent so much time with us and worked extremely hard. I am steriod resistant so that posed as another issue. I was about a week away from needing a transplant when he came up with a treatment that actually worked for me. I truley feel like I owe my life to Dr. Wade and it is my dream to follow in his footsteps. He has offered to help me in what ever way to getting into the medical feild. Last summer I did an internship with the Calgary Health Region and he took the time to meet with me and writing the most impressive reference letter. Dr. Wade has given me his email and pager number for when ever I need it. Honestly Dr. Wade is the most amazing doctor I have ever met! 	5	5	5	5 
92	1	Fantastic doctor. He knows what he is talking about. Very caring and funny. we have been seeing him for about 9 years. Never once disappointed. 	5	5	5	5 
92	1	Dr Wade is amazing he was the first doctor we saw when our son was born and diagnosed him very quickly. He is a very friendly guy that makes it easy for the kids to feel comfortable with him. He makes sure the parents know and understand the stuff that is going on and he is also very good at including the siblings if they are in the room as well. keep up the great work Dr.Wade there is not many out there like you anymore 	4	4	5	5 
92	1	Dr. Wade is great.  Three years ago my son was sent to ACH after becoming serverely sick.  Dr. Wade was the first doctor we saw and he did not stop investigating what was the problem.  Once Dr Wade and his team figured it out, he sat down with us and explained everything at our level.  Even my mom was very comfortable with him.  While my son was in the hospital Dr. Wade would come in and have water fights or silly string fights with him, making him laugh.  I think a doctor that can relate to the kids like this makes one fantastic doctor.  Keep it up. 	5	5	5	5 
92	1	DOCTOR WADE IS THERE A BETTER TEAM IN CANADA CO.RYLEY GEORGE HOFER 	5	5	5	5 
92	1	Loved Dr.Wade...He is amazing and he remembers everything which blows me away with all the patients he see's...He took the time for my twin boys to chceck there if they were on the right track developmentally which meant a lot to as NO other doctor has done that to date....I love how he explains everything to the detail and showed us the U/S of our boys Kidneys and he made my husband and I feel very relaxed and at ease..He is an amazing person..and Doctor.. 	5	4	5	5 
92	1	Dr Wade is FANTASTIC! I'm amazed how much he remembers about our family, even as months have gone by! He seems to always be available, either through Michelle or his email, which is awesome! he's great with my baby and his big sister (who could easily just be ignored during our appointments). He definitely makes us feel welcome, assured, and that our son's situation is being monitored closely. 		5	5	5 
92	1	dr wade, has a great sense of humor, yet very professional in his work, and will make every effort to find and fix your problem, he has great bed side manner, and goes out of his way to ensure your comfort. He has been my doc since i was a child and have all confidence to bring my children to him... great job dr.wade 		4	5	5 
92	1	Dr. Wade is a fantastic Doctor. Our son is following up with him as a precaution after being a patient at ACH with cardiac and digestive issues after he was born. He is VERY thorough and fabulous with our infant son. We look forward to our next follow-up appointment. 		5	5	5 
92	1	When you have to take your child to a doctor like this, you are terrified. He spent 2 hours with us trying to figure out what was wrong with my daughter. He has a very calming way about him and he allowed my daughter to be in control of the situtation which made her trust him almost instantly!! 		5	5	5 
93	1	Dr. Wahba has been my doctor for a few years and she always is very attentive to my health.  She listens and does everything she has to, to diagnos whats going on.  I have referred a few friends to her.  She is the BEST. 	4	5	5	5 
93	1	Dr. Wahba has helped me greatly. She is very kind, respectful, reassuring and positive and she takes an interest in my overall health. My only complaint about her clinic is that she has permanent patients plus walk-ins, and she does not employ nurses to get patients ready for examination. She comes to the waiting room to get you and take you to the consultation room and you have to undress while she is in the room. I think this is very unprofessional. I am used to having a nurse perform the preliminaries. Also, the consultation rooms are a huge mess with the desk piled high with patient records that she hasn't refiled. I think nursing and administrative work is not a good use of an extremly highly paid person's time, and I can't help but think she and her husband, with whom she runs the clinic, are trying to maximize their billings to the health care system by not employing others to perform some of the duties. She should only be paid the exhorbitant fees for professional work. 	4	4	5	5 
93	1	Dr. Wahba is really good and regarding the secretary, they are so busy and trying their best to help everybody. I know that it is not their fault if the Dr. Wahba is behind coz sometimes the patient takes their time to see Dr. Wahba. So the patient should also understand the secretary and not to argue with them. Without this staff and the Doctors what will happened to the patients.But anyway, I'm so happy that my Doctor is Dr. Wahba. 	4	4	4	4 
93	1	If you can get past the rather aloof and completely un-understanding staff, you will find one of the best family doctors in Edmonton. Dr Wahba is patient, knowledgeable, and always ready to spend as much time as you need. She doesn't rush you in and out and is always willing to answer your questions and address your concerns. She has been my family doctor for two years now, as well as my husband's and my daughter. We trust her completely. The only down side is the staff. They are aloof, rude, they do not manage the bookings well, and are absolutely cold hearted. This is the only drawback. 	2	3	5	5 
93	1	Her smiling face and welcoming smile makes all your fears come to comfort... May ALlah Almighty rewards you the best 	1	3	5	5 
93	1	It took me so long to find a nice, patient doctor who is always smiling and willing to help and spend as much with you as you need!!  Yes, the receptionists tend to overbook and they do take in walk-ins inbetween appointments and you do end up waiting an extra half an hour to get into your scheduled appointment, it is worth it!! 	4	4	5	5 
93	-1	I admit I loved Dr. Wahba when I first met her, I think she is a wonderful person.  But unfortunately that does not make her a good doctor.  My baby was very, very sick and we are lucky that we did not lose our child.  Dr. Wahba continued to dismiss our concerns when we presented our child's symptoms to her.  We're just thankful we took our child to the hospital when we did and where they continue to go to get proper care for the problems Dr. Wahba missed. 	 11/16/09	1	1	1
93	1	I am very skeptical and nervous patient and hav e avoided doctors as much as possible since the untimely death of a family member. Dr. Wahba listened to my fears, was EXTREMELY understanding and compassionate, she helped me to feel comfortable enough to finally take some much needed and long overdue tests. She is knowledgable and warm and makes you feel as though you are in the care of your own mother. I am extremely pleased with the care I recieve from her. My only concern if any, is the appearance and upkeep of the office itself, it is an old building, and is in desperate need of a makeover....And people need to go easy on the receptionists...they are very busy and quite obviously do their best to keep up. 	3	2	5	5 
93	1	I am very happy with Dr. Wahba's knowledge and thoroughness in investigating my medical complaints.  I've never waited more than 15 min for scheduled appts, and would expect 2hrs for a walk in appt as this is the norm across the City. 	3	5	5	5 
93	1	Dr. Wahba is great when i can get in to see her. I think this office needs to stop taking walk-ins because the wait is 1 to 2 hours and the regular patients also never get in at their scheduled time. The overbooking of patients is ridiculous. So its either disorganization or greed&#63; The girls at the front desk are unhelpful and aloof to the patients frustrations. When I am not feeling well and concerned about my health issues, I want better service and compassion from the office staff. I will be looking for a new doctor, not because of Dr. Wahba but because I don't have the time or energy to get past and deal the office staff to get in to see her. 	1	1	4	4 
93	1	I think Dr Wahba is fantastic, she is attentive and thorough.  However, the RECEPTIONISTS in this office are TERRIBLE, unorganized and totally ignore patients as they wait.  I have tried to make appointments on three occasions and have had little help from the receptionists, then I show up to the time I thought had been confirmed to find that I have no appointment, INCREDIBLE FRUSTRATED- PLEASE HIRE NEW STAFF! 	1	3	5	5 
93	-1	Very disappointing experience.  Barely acknowledged at front desk by Filipino(&#63;) secretary.  Signed in for walk-in service and two hours later was still waiting.  I got up and left-waiting area looked like it had not been vacuumed for awhile and was aggravating my allergies.  I understand that booked patients come first, but it would be courteous if upon sign-in you were told that chances of seeing the Dr. within a reasonable time frame were slim to none.  Will not be returning. 	1	1	1	3 
93	1	Dr.Wahba has been my family doctor for 6 months now and I am totally satisfied with her . She's very knowledgeable and I know that for sure since I work in the medical field . She's also very compassionate and a very good listener . 	5	4	5	5 
93	-1	For weeks we brought our newborn baby into Dr. Wahba with concerns.  She continued telling us that we were new parents and not to worry.  We ended up taking our child to the emergency room - doctors and nurses could not believe that Dr. Wahba MISSED not one, but two life threatening problems. 	1	1	1	1 
93	1	Though its a walkin clinic and its hard to see her, when you do it is her full undivided attention 	3	2	4	4 
93	1	i love dr.wahba she has been great to me. i have seen her  for about 8 mths. she has been very helpful and knowledgeable.  and does spend time with her patients. i hope she will be there for a long time. because really hard to find good dr. 	5	5	5	5 
93	1	she is an awsome Dr I would recomend anybody to go and see her...she takes her time in everything she does and she will not let you go untill your setesfied from all your qestions and answers! 	5	5	5	5 
93	1	I love this doctor a lot she helps everyone that needs her help I hope to meet her everyday but I have work unfortunantly 	1	5	5	5 
93	1	I too adore Dr. Wahba, and for those of you who claim she is like a friend, which she is, need to be considerate of all the other patients who go there for her care and expertise and not spend ridiculous amounts of time with her that cause her schedule to fall behind and make other patients have to wait up to 2 hours for their appointment.  She is so sweet and kind that she will not tell you your time is up.  So quit hogging the Doctor's time. 	5	5	5	5 
93	-1	Though in the beginning Dr. Wahba seemed very nice, she didn't ask enough questions.  I got pregnant while with seeing this doctor and she said she'd be the doctor to delieve my baby, so she did not reffer me onto a different doctor.  This being my first pregnancy I had a lot of questions.  Dr. Wahba did a very poor job of answering many of these questions.  When a pill she gave me caused me to get stomach pains she told me that couldn't happen to keep taking the pills. I of course stopped the pills and asked someone else their opionion, they gave me a different prescription that i'm still taking and doing fine.  On another note every time I made an appointment with her, I made it early in the morning so that I wouldn't end up waiting.  I did end up waiting all three times for 2+ hrs.  One time because she left home late due to her alarm clock.  I felt she was very improfessional, and I would not see her again.  She wasnt very helpful and I felt like a number to her. 	2	1	2	2 
93	1	Like the other postings, I agree she is warm, friendly and does seem genuinly concerned about your well-being. However, I found some of her practices to be frustrating. She seemed to treat me like a walk-in patient, not like I was going to be a patient for the long term. She never asked about my medical history, and in the 6+ months I saw her she never took my blood pressure. I scheduled an appointment for a physical and when I got there it hadn't been recorded properly so she didn't have time to do it. However, her additional practice as a gynecologist enabled me to get some testing done and some good advice, without having to wait to see a specialist. That was excellent. 	4	4	4	4 
93	1	Dr. Wahba is very dedicated to her work and is also very compassionate. A true healer, in both practice and spirit. She is very practical and if she isn't knowledgable about something herself, she is not afraid to admit it, and will send you throught the proper channels to address the issue. I have the utmost respect for her and trust her implictly with my health and well being. 		3	5	5 
93	1	Excellent Person. One who REALLY does care about your well being. Always has TIME for you. Is MORE than willing to listen. An extremely gentle lady. I too love her to bits. A visit to her is like a visit to a FRIEND! My health and well being are her FIRST cncern. A doctor you can feel confident in. Never guess's a problem but is more than willing to send you for tests to confirm, rather than guess! I feel very honored to call her MY doctor! 		5	5	5 
93	1	Such a wonderful Lady! I can't believe how kind and considerate this doctor can be. I believe she genuinely cares for her patients. I know for women it is so hard to get a good doctor. Well here you get a wonderful doctor who is great at what she does. FINALLY! 		5	5	5 
93	1	I Love Dr. Wahba; after spending nearly 5 years as a victim of the medical system, I feel as if I have found a gem among a bunch of rocks. I was told marvelous things about her from a friend, and have found out for myself that she is a doctor who CARES about her patients, and isn't afraid to admit if something is out of her field of expertice; she will refer you to the proper chanels to get the help you need. I was in 2 serious car accidents, neither my fault, yet I've been treated terribly from the get go. Forget all the legal stuff; a doctor wants NOTHING to do with a new patient who comes in with pain issues, especially knowing they will need to write letters to a lawyer.They do NOT want to prescribe pain medication, so will not take you onn as a patient. Dr. Wahba told me not to worry about that stuff, that she will take care of me; My job is to get better. I must add here that I do NOT get my pain medication from her; I see a specialist at Lifemark; but for quality care ,she wins! 		3	5	4 
94	1	Dr. Ricky Wang has improved my health both mentally and physically. Having suffered from some back problems as well as recurring pain from rolled ankles and broken wrists, his acupuncture has relieved those symptoms of pain so that I can live better, especially at my young age. He is very knowledgeable and helpful, being able to answer any sort of questions or worries I had. I was a bit of a skeptic before trying traditional chinese medicine and acupuncture, but I'm glad I did. He is highly recommended! 	5	5	5	5 
94	1	I have had sciatic problem for 2 years. That had been brought me tingling sensation on my right leg all the time. Within 12 sessions, Dr. Ricky Wang made the pain goes away. I appreciate what Dr. Ricky's help and recommend to people who have similar concerns. 	5	5	5	5 
95	1	Best... Doctor... EVER!!! We discovered Dr Warren about a year ago when he moved into the surgery near our home. We are losing him to the Okanagan and it is our sad loss. He is a wonderful doctor. His bedside manner is easy and friendly and he takes the time to answer all of our questions. He is the best doctor I have seen in many years and I am very sad to see him go. 	5	5	5	5 
95	1	Dr. Warren is very caring, does not make you feel he is in a hurry, and has no hesitation in making a referral to a specialist if necessary. 	5	5	5	5 
96	1	Dr. Walsh is a very informative Dr. as a first time Patient She really covered all the bases for reports,examined me from head to toe, I am so pleased to have her as my Doctor.She is very knowledgeable.She is Friendly and outspoken. 	5	5	5	5 
97	1	There are no words to express the gratitude my entire family has for this doctor! Kevin has treated everything from ADHD to sleep problems in my family with tremendous results within only a few visits. My knees have been a major problem for over 10 years. Traditional medicine offered no substantional help, and yet Kevin had them fixed within 3 visits. The impact on ADHD is also substantial - my son's marks went from the 50's to the 80's within a month.He may sometimes run a bit late but its well worth the wait because he takes his time with his patients and cares for the WHOLE person - not just the immediate problem. I have been a registered nurse for 30 years and I will go to see Kevin over any problem BEFORE I will go see any other medical practioner for anything. Chiropractic care is NOT just for a sore back. Thankyou Kevin for giving us our lives back! 	5	4	5	5 
97	1	Dr. Watson and his staff are very friendly and helpful. My husband and I have been seeing him for half a year and in our first visit he fixed my husbands rib that was out of place for 2 years. This rib caused ny husband so much pain it was keeping him up and Doctors did not know what was wrong with him. I also see Doctor Watson and have had almost no headaches since seeing him and have had very little pain. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Watson and his staff. 	5	5	5	5 
97	1	This is an amazing and very knowledgeable doctor. You may wait a little bit, but he will always make room for you. 	5	5	5	5 
97	0	he is trying to treat as many people as possible as fast as he can.  no privacy - I dont see any other doctor in the waiting room!!  My pain went away when I stopped seeing him!! 	3	3	2	3 
97	0	You wait at least 45 minutes before every appointment, he is always late. He is really nice and professional but he sees too many people in a day. People are sitting around you during your treatment, no privacy, and he doesn't wash his hands after treatments. The first couple of treatments were helpful but the last two caused me terrible pain and I had trouble walking. I've never had trouble walking before so I stopped seeing him. 	3	1	3	3 
97	1	This doctor is amazing! there were so many problems with my back that I felt helpless! after going to dr watson after awhile I actually felt like a human being again. Good work Dr. Kevin! 	5	5	5	5 
97	1	Dr. Watson is very knowledgeable and friendly.  I am comfortable with the adjustments. 	4	4	5	5 
97	1	Dr. Kevin Watson and his wife Dr. Marcie Watson are both amazing doctors.   Definitely they are my main medical doctors.  I would not be walking pain free without them.  I have been seeing them for over 12 years.  People should be educated about chiropractors and the fact that almost ANY medical condition can be improved (if not completely healed) by chiropractic!!! 	5	5	5	5 
97	1	This doctor was amazing. He helped me with my back, which i injured while riding my horse 	5	5	5	5 
97	1	I've been seeing him for about 20 years. I've sinec moved away but still make the trip rather than look for a new Dr. 	5	5	5	5 
97	1	Has made a huge difference in myself and my extended families lives.My father-in-law has not been able to walk more than 100 meters without stopping because of the pain. He visited a chiropractor in Germany a few times but no relief. After seeing Kevin 3 times he walked 500 meters , up ytwo flights of stairs without stopping or pain. Oh ya he is 83 years old.Thanks Kevin.Mark Schweitzer 	5	4	5	5 
97	1	Always fixes me up (back and neck issues), lots of time on it's on short notice and gets me back out into the field. Best chiropractor I've been to and I've been to a few throughout the province...front staff always friendly and helpful on phone or at counter - Thanks, kmh 	5	5	5	5 
97	1	Very helpful, has never turned me away, although I do think sometimes overbooked. Has always given me relief for what ever ailed me. 	5	3	5	5 
97	1	very compassionate and knowledgable about the human body 		4	4	5 
97	0	Does the same treatment for everyone.Witness it because he treats the majority of patients infront of you .not alot of privacy.Lines you up like cattle.Frontline staff are rude 		4	2	4 
98	0	Wanted to give me 75 treatments - AS IF!!!  He really hurt me - and I thought he was rougher than what I have experienced.  Wouldn't go back. 	5	4	2	4 
98	1	Been to other Chiropractors and Dr. Warren is truly the best!!! You might have to wait, but at least Sue lets you know and asks if you have something else to do in the meantime. I will never see anyone else!! 	5	1	5	5 
98	1	Truly Excellent!!!Thanare doing!k you I feel like myself again. Keep doing what you 	5	5	5	5 
98	-1	THIS IS A QUACK WITHOUT ETHICS: MY GIRLFRIEND HAS HER NECK CRACKED BY THIS QUACK, WAS ADMITTED TO EMERGENCY AND LAY MOTIONLESS FOR 3 MONTHS. THE TRULY SAD THIND IS, WHEN ASKED FOR HER RECORDS THEY DENIED EVEN SEEING HER. SO, ASK YOURSELF WHY NO PHYSICIAN REFERS TO CHIROPRACTORS&#63; AND, ASK YOURSELF HOW THIS MAN CAN PROFESS TO BE A PROFESSIONAL. I WOULD WELCOME HIM TO CHALLENGE ME THROUGH LITIGATION! ANYONE CAN CONTACT ME BY E-MAIL: jeffandthekid@netscape.net 	1	5	1	1 
98	1	I have been seeing Dr. Warren for close to 17yrs. now, I have been to other doctors and have never felt as good as I do with Jeff. Working in the fitness industry, I refer all my clients that I think could benefit from a trip to Dr. Warren, I would not do that if I did not trust the man 100% 	5	3	5	5 
98	1	I've never waited more than 10 minutes for Dr. Warren. He's always been helpful and informed and treats me very well. I was a skeptic about Chiropractors before I started going to him, and he changed my way of thinking. I now see him at least once a month and he keeps in well running order! Insurance:Blue Cross / Blue Shield		5	5	5 
98	1	I have been seeing Dr. Warren for a couple of years now, and yes he's busy...but isn't that a good sign&#63; I like the fact he is a fellow runner and a Chiropractor as he knows what running can do to the body!!! 		4	4	5 
98	1	The only fault of Dr. Warren is that he is very busy and at times there is a significant wait. It is certainly worth it though as Dr. Warren is the best chiropractor that I have ever been to. 		4	5	5 
99	1	This doctor is a cleancut,well dress, excellent bedside manners,very professional, listens to every concern. He has lots of good ideas about natural health and well-being and incorporates them into his chiropractic treatments. He also practises what he preaches.   He is very Kind, understanding, nice bedside manners, very knowledgeable and follows through. Also happy. Always looks for better ways to improve his patients care. Travels to the U.S and other countries for seminars so he has the latest new ways to help his patients. He also helps with nutrition and he is also a Wellness coach. I have been seeing him for 15 years and have no complaints...can't say enough how wonderful he is. His care plan for me was awesome after having four consecutives car accidents. Because of him I am able to live a normal live. It is very important to see him if you had any kind of injuries and even to just get adjusted you will have a better live. Thx for everything Dr.Waddell. 	5	5	5	5

100	1	He is my husband's diabetic doctor.  He is usually running behind schedule.  I think he is knowledgeable and experienced.  I have been present alongside my husband for appts. and have no criticism from a spouse's point of view.  I don't think my husband has any negative thoughts. 	3	2	3	4
