Pembina Medical Centre

I have been well served at this clinic. Dr. Smal and nurse Linette have been excellent. The main frustration is getting through on the phone and the fact that they do not accommodate email correspondence. The clinic Dr. Smal was at prior to this one did allow email correspondence which makes it easier to make routine appointments.

This clinic is simply designed to make money. Drs will only give prescriptions monthly, yet Dr Vanjaarsvelt wants two weeks advance notice to renew prescriptions. Follow the rules, and the meds are still late. In addition i have never waited less then 90 minutes to see him past your scheduled appt time, even if your appt is first thing in the morning. Absolutely no respect for patients schedules. Everyone dances to their tune, ir u fund another doc. Phone appts Dr Van rarely keeps them, or calls the following day without notice. His secretary Ellen is even worse. Wont return phone calls, and usually takes three requests before any task is completed. In my opinion they over book, too make as much money as possible, but forgot their primary purpose, patient care. If you want to be frustrated with not getting medication on time, and going through withdraw every few months, because they refuse to do their jobs, tasks not being completed, and being charged for every piece of paper you require, then go the this clinic!

I have seen Dr. Van Jaarsveldt for over 20 years, even though he can be a bit behind it is ok with me, because he cares and will use analogies so a person can understand. Fantastic doctor and extremely personable.
