What Our Customers are Saying
Alla at Care-Med has helped me through my recent bout of bad lymphedema. The last few years have been hard for everyone with COVID restrictions but Alla stayed open and was able to help me while keeping her office up to date with all health safety requirements and then some. She has always been kind and accomodating. I would recommend her to all needing her services. The only bad thing to say about this place is that there is little parking at her location though there is a mall across the street you can use.
Alla and her team are fantastic! There is no one as knowledgeable as Alla, and it is rare to find someone so professional and client-oriented. She is empathetic, understanding and a great listener. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
I have had excruciating edema for about two years. Most reviews I read I am highly skeptical as to their credibility and veracity. Alla had crafted for me a compression garment in several days. I am immobile,she attends to me with the utmost of respect and skill. Comes to our condo.
I believe with the utmost of veracity that Alla is a genius,highly skilled, and has a very good heart. My edema is receding and her interest in her patients never wanes. Many speak about what they can do, she does what she says with grace.
Thank you Alla, you are a credit to humanity.
The entire team put the word service back into the service industry. Caring, concerned for clients, stand behind products and maintain their office immaculately. Top tier professionalism and integrity. No need to shop anywhere else.
Very professional, super positive and clean place to treat your feet. #1 clinic in Toronto, in my eyes anyways. Highly recommended for all your foot issues.
Thank you for providing great services to my family. I will recommend you to anyone who is looking for orthotics.
I usually do not write any recommendations for such services, but this is different. Care Med is lead by a dynamic experienced, knowledgeable caring and brilliant caregiver. Alla Hardoon is well versed in almost every medical condition and has the knowledge to find the right treatment and deliver a WOW patient care experience reducing pain and discomfort.
I’m an avid 66 year old active individual who loves tennis and golf. Unfortunately my back pain has limited me even after visiting chiropractors and specialists who wanted to give me pills and needles. Alla has helped me eliminate my back pains through correctly analyzing and finding the root of the problem, recommending that I get customized orthotics insoles for my shoes a few months ago. My back pain has disappeared and I enjoy being active once again.
I wear the inserts (orthotics) everyday in my work boots. This enables me to continue growing in a better posture and healtht knees in order to function in a balanced way and achieve optimum performance daily. It was simple and fast process. I saw a doctor and got the imprints. I received the inserts within weeks. I feel more balance walking, and working. They are quality inserts and have out lasted my boots themselves.
The staff is soo amazingly friendly too. I actually recommended it to my mother who actually came in for treatment for fibromyalgia and has shown positive results.
