Aroga Lifestyle Medicine - Victoria, British Columbia

I was referred to Aroga by my GP last spring. What an incredible experience it has been. I have never had such a caring experience with any doctor over my lifetime, especially related to weight issues. I felt seen and heard by Dr. Burgess from our first consult. Every staff person at the Victoria clinic that i have come into contact with has been kind and efficient and willing to answer any and all questions. I am grateful to have been referred here and for each experience since. Each visit heals something for me. Worth every penny.

Very disappointed. They make an appointment on a Friday, for the following and accepted as a courtesy and was informed, we needed to make sure things were covered. We were told we could cancel, and after finding out things arent cancelled, they would not allow us to cancel. Realizing we could only do the research on Monday which puts us with in the 48 hour cancellation window.

Never going back here, not even sure if we will do our appointment. So much for supporting ones health.

I feel very dismissed. At first I’m told could be multilevel things including chronic fatigue.
After feeling dismissed I was told I am not but it will take a long time to figure out, then one more heart test. Booked an appointment … no more test no more seeking . Not checked for sleep apnea.. nothing.
Then I’m told likely menopause and multiple things together.. so don’t come anymore. So got fully dismissed after all.
Maybe they don’t think this is dismissive but I do. Because I wake up feeling like I’ve been hit by a car daily. The fatigue is unreal, it’s the same as extreme iron deficiency. I shake and I get adrenaline rush like feelings in the night.
Anyway . I’ll find actual help .
After speaking to office coordinator. They feel they addressed my medical concerns.
And won't give a referral to a gynecologist. They say they can't..

I can say only good things about the service and level of care my wife and I have received from the staff at Aroga. Our previous family practitioner Dr. Nicole Pewarchuk was professional, extremely knowledgeable, diligent, compassionate and accessible - all the characteristics you want in a family physician. And our new FP, Dr. Ken Iwaasa, has shown himself to be the same.

I am so grateful for Dr. Ginevra Mills (OBGYN & REI) and the work she does in the world. Dr. Mills is a highly educated, experienced, qualified and passionate advocate for women's health; in particular, within the menopausal health space. I've had two phone appointments now with Dr. Mills through Aroga Lifestyle Medicine and found her to be extremely client-centred, patient, knowledgeable, respectful and caring. Not only is she an excellent doctor, but she is also working hard to educate other healthcare professionals so women are more supported in the ways we need and deserve. Thank you Dr Mills; I appreciate you!

What a frustrating experience with this clinic—don’t waste your time! My doctor referred my daughter for testing, and I was informed there would be about a year-long wait, which I accepted. However, when I called today, they claimed they had called me and left a message, but I never received any such call. Their office dropped the ball and, instead of taking responsibility, they are blaming me. Now, I have to wait even longer for my daughter to be tested. It’s absurd. B.C. Health is truly a disappointment.

Really thorough, was nice to hear that my mystery issues are not in my head, started gluten free diet to try, didn’t fix my gut problems but I lost a ton of weight is a short time with no exercise lol I feel better bout myself now, have more energy and my mood has greatly improved. This fixed a lot of problems for me mentally. Thank you.
