DR. NELSON SVORKDAL - ROYAL JUBILEE HOSPITAL REVIEWS

I have seen several pain specialists over the past two years. Dr. Svorkdal gave me the most time, the most information, the most options and completely respected the things I've implemented to manage the severe pain condition I endure. I'm fortunate to have his expertise to assist me.

Very few doctors take the time and trouble to be as helpful as Dr. Svorkdal. His kindness and competence has to be experienced to be believed. I would recommend him to everyone.

What an incredible doctor and gentleman I have seen him for years and can't thank him enough for his support in my very difficult case Bless him forever.

DR. BRENT MACNICOL - HELMCKEN PAIN CLINIC REVIEWS

I have been a patient here for years and my quality of life had been so greatly improved because of this clinic. Dr. MacNicol and the staff are excellent, very professional and compassionate. Truly caring. I trust them completely. The clinic offers a wide variety of services. Your feedback is always considered when a management plan is being developed. I feel so blessed to be a patient here.

Dr. MacNicol is cold and aloof. He gets the job done well but his attitude is unnerving. I have never seen him crack a smile or show the slightest bit of warmth. He appears to act like a robot and his patients are treated like that too. He just does not relate to patients well. He has helped me a good deal but he has a very sour demeanor.

I've been a patient at the Clinic for a number of years. Dr. MacNicol and staff have alleviated my Cervical and Lumber pain on a continual basis.

I have been a patient of Dr. MacNicol’s for several years and find him very approachable, caring and efficient. He listens, is very thoughtful with several different treatments, and is most considerate when I ask about my treatments from other professionals. His credentials are excellent, and he has a strong desire to do whatever possible to help his patients. - GH Reply

DR. MEGHAN O’CONNELL - REBALANCEMD REVIEWS

I've been treated at Rebalance MD several times over the years. The staff are always respectful and professional with a smile. My most recent treatment was a hip injection for hip pain which I never felt a thing.

The entire team, from the front desk to the surgeon to post operative physio, is excellent! Polite, helpful, knowledgeable, and caring.

Rebalance MD, has just about everything a person needs to heal themselves. All the individuals I have talked to and were referred to have been very helpful and understanding.
