I've met with all of the staff, doctors, and management of CfNM on numerous occasions. They are always professional, cheerful, and welcoming. They treat everyone with respect and truly listen to their clients. The location is easy to get to and makes you feel at ease to moment you walk in. I would suggest CfNM to anyone looking for a a naturopathy health solution in Winnipeg.

My husband and I have been patients of the clinic for a number of years. The staff have always been helpful and courteous. Would definitely recommend this clinic.

My family has trusted naturopaths for decades, seeing them across Canada and the US. We have never had such a frustrating and disappointing experience as at this place. The staff are like car dealers. Aggressive, invasive, presumptuous. One named Deb is especially awful. The naturo had me pay $120 for an extra blood panel besides my GP's. She didn't say it would take as much blood as donating to the Red Cross. I was so faint, I couldn't drive. I also had my GP send his results to this clinic. Deb gave a big gasp and told me my results were so concerning, I must make an appointment ASAP. She confirmed they had received my GP's results, too. Well, it turned out they were the same results as I had of course already discussed with my GP---and which the naturo knew I was being treated for, long term. In what universe does a receptionist interpret a patient's test results, plus use them as a scare tactic so you'll spend more on another appointment? Not even a vet tech is permitted to do any of this in regards to your hamster! Deb also used my inability to pay $100 for one of many supplements, to tell the doctor I am a "non-compliant" patient. This label creates a bad feeling in doctors, as they think you are rejecting their advice. Pharma corporations have departments devoted to "coping with the non-compliant patient." It was simply a financial issue, and she shamed me for it. The doctor then wrote me a redundant essay on why I needed this supplement, which was further shaming. I am a disabled senior, and I surely do not need this extra stress. It was like a car dealer jacking prices with extra features, and trying to shame you because you can't afford them. After my first visit, the doctor neglected to write down the dose of one supplement. When I asked the receptionist to look into this, she instantly advised me to take the same dose she does! With that chattiness of "one girlfriend to another." Unethical and dangerous. Twice they billed me for services I did not book and did not receive. I tried Bowen therapy, which they said on the phone, fee schedule and on the website, was $70. They then billed $120, and claimed it was "treatment plus follow up." There was no follow up. There was no assessment either, as physical therapists normally do. He spent a few minutes confirming some notes Dr. Danner had made. Physical therapists usually test your gait, posture, flexion, etc. He did nothing like that. But his big nothing was worth $50 and their deceit. Dr. Schrader put me in awkward positions that hurt my existing injuries, and ran in and out of the room like a mouse. He'd do something he called "moves." He'd put two fingers on a body part then run away. It was weird. He got visibly irritated when I said I couldn't keep my arms in certain positions without pain. I was there to TREAT PAIN. I am not suggesting there was anything sexual about it, but women will understand that it was like when a man touches you in a way you don't enjoy, then insists you are enjoying it as you protest. It was ick. It was abusive. When I told staff Bowen therapy was ineffective, Deb got aggressive, telling me I had to book several treatments to feel the effects. And overbilled me $50. Why would I pay for several sessions, when I feel clear relief after each traditional session with my physiotherapist? Due to the blood test scare, I booked a second session with Dr. Danner. It was 30 minutes for $108. Again, confirmed over the phone, via email, and on the printed fee schedule. Afterwards, two receptionists made aggressive calls demanding I pay $136 for 45 mins. They said I had to pay for the doctor's time writing notes. When I told Danner about Deb falsely labeling me a "non-compliant patient," she promised me some free supplement samples. Those disappeared when I refused to pay for an extra 15 minutes I didn't book and didn't receive. I've gotten a few samples from doctors, and they keep them in their office cabinets. They immediately put them in there after the pharma reps visit. So it wasn't an, "Oh dear!" discovery at the front desk.
