I am very disappointed with the treatment of the staff in Edmonton location. The manager is NOT EVEN a health care professional. Treats the staff who are professionals and provide client care at the highest level. The BBB rates this location an F. This is an ongoing problem. Telling staff they should quit if they dont like her attitude. Its sad that clients will lose quality of care because the manager expects staff to work alone during appointment. This scenario could also put clients at risk.. she is RUDE and condescending to staff and clients. I would think the head office would be smart

The nurse Joan at the Leslie/Elgin Mills location is rude and negative. She is not encouraging and doesnt listen to your needs.
