Women's Care Clinic Toronto

I find it interesting that positive reviews get responses from the owner, and negative reviews get ignored or taken down, as mine was. I would have hoped they would show a little empathy or concern about women who have had bad experiences with them so they could learn and improve, but clearly they only accept the good and discredit the bad.I won’t get into the complete details of my absolutely awful experience again, as clearly something I said gave them the ability to remove it. I promise I was not trying to be actively insulting, only provide a real, honest review of just how uncomfortable they made me feel, as well as the other girls who were there and clearly in distress from the way in which they were handling things (girls forced to sit outside in the hallway on the floor while patients entering have to step over them to get in the office, support persons sent away, the receptionist pressuring myself and other girls multiple times into doing the paid surgical procedure rather than the non-invasive but free pill method, the ridiculously long wait times and lack of communication, the literal rudeness and lack of empathy for privacy and discomfort of girls coming into the clinic… I’ll stop there).The very minimum these “women helping women” could do is acknowledge the women who did not at all feel helped or supported.

I had my Abortion on April 1 and here is an honest review.I called to book on the 20 March 2023, the person who answered was a little rude honestly. I felt very rushed to give her a name, and book ... She forgot to give me the time, so I called again. The second person was pleasant to talk to, gave me the appointment time, asked if I needed anything else. I felt more comforted with the second interaction. Not to defend the first person, but I understand, they have a million things to do, what I felt like rushed is just her doing her job.I booked a surgical procedure which was recommended while booking, but she gave me the choice, and offered that the nurse will talk to me during my appointment.A call was done the day before to remind me of the appointment.The day of the appointment: it was quick, I wish we had more privacy when we are saying the reason we were there. I was sitting in the front filling forms, but I could hear everything that the other patients were discussing with front desk.After filling the forms, paid and waited. My bf wasn't allowed in, which I wish he was, I really wanted him there, but I understand that other patients (wearing only gowns ) might not be comfortable.I waited for probably 5-8 min, talked to a nurse. She explained the procedure, checked pressure, hemoglobin, temperature, gave medications and I requested to not discuss my choice (i didn't want to cry anymore) - she was awesome, very straightforward, very nice, and professional.I went in, got a urine sample, changed. The change room has a cabinet and you can leave your clothes ect. Put on your gown, and sit and wait after.I was then called in, the doctor asked me to remove my undies, and go on the table. Ultrasound was completed, and then procedure started. The nurse did an IV, I didn't feel anything, she was gentle. In my defense I donate blood every 3 months so I'm very used to it.I was looking up and distracted by the butterfly. The surgery started, and the nurse kept watching my face, reminding me to breathe, and saying we are almost done, keep breathing, one more second. The doctor wasn't rough, it was uncomfortable... Pressure , a bit of cramps and sharp pain and pressure for maybe 2 minutes, it definitely felt longer but I'm sure it was less time.Once completed, the nurse put my undies back on, with a pad. Took my hand and guided me to recovery room (my personal items was transferred there already)I sat down, the nurse had cookies and water ready, handed me an ice pack. And had the chair footer raised up. There was a bit of cramps, but pain scale is probably 7/10. Dropped to 3/10 by the time I left. By the time I got water, cookies in me, I felt a lot better.I sat in the recovery room for probably 5-10 min, booked the next follow up. And I got a form with what to expect. I was then given the form for my own record.I wasn't rushed, or asked to leave... I don't like attention, or having nurses constantly asking me how I felt but the nurse was definitely keeping an eye on all of us which I appreciated.I then got up, went to change room, changed... And left.My experience is: I wish front desk person was a little bit more compassionate the first time I booked.I wish my bf could have joined.But that's it. I honestly don't know all the bad reviews.... I spent 2 hours in total. The staff were pleasant. The doctor was professional, the nurses were professional. I'm glad it was kept professional because I CHOOSE not to discuss it (they give you the choice in the form) and they respected my choice.

everyone is super kind and welcoming, the doctors and nurses are sweethearts, they care a lot about everyone individually. its not an easy experience but they make it as easy as it can be. i will always appreciate the treatment i got here. if anyone is in a tough situation i will always recommend this place.

Wrost experience ever. They did blood test horrible so i little screemed so they told i can not screem athorwise they will send back to me home. Another thing they did surgery without anesthesia it is unexpectable it was so much pain. I firstly asked to do medical abortion beacuse i'm 9 weeks 4 days still they told me baby is 12 weeks pregnant and i'm not 12 weeks. They just just want $60 nothing else. Horrible experience never ever recommended.The lady doctor with boycut hair is extremely rude. Please do not ignore my this review and experience. Find some other clinic then this.

TLDR: Dr. Markovic and everyone else here are amazing. Highly recommend. Disclaimer: my pain tolerance is near nothing.I picked this place due to some positive reviews I saw on Reddit. I believe this is one of the only places that offers sedation. Once I was on my period, I booked an appointment through the phone: to be honest, one of the receptionists can be a little impatient (pretty sure she hung up on me when I asked more questions), but they got the job done. It's also super busy in the clinic, so it makes sense.Unfortunately, I couldn't bring a companion into the clinic, which makes sense as it was quite crowded. I had them wait downstairs until I finished.You bring your OHIP card for the appointment. I had an 8 am appointment, got called in, gave my health card, and waited a bit. It was quite busy, even at 8 AM. Then, got asked to come in for a session with the counselor, who was very nice. I wanted a copper IUD to avoid hormones, and was given the Liberté UT380 for $250. I also opted for IV sedation, which was an extra $100.After I changed into the gown, I was called into the room. The most painful part was putting the IV in since my veins are terrible. Definitely would've drank more water next time. Eventually, they managed to get it in. After the IV got put in, I felt a bit drowsy, and everything was over before I knew it. I was astonished. I waited in the waiting room on a recliner with some cookies and water and just relaxed for a bit before leaving. Also booked a follow up appointment for 3 weeks.All in all, took about an hour and half. Would highly recommend getting the IV sedation: I had been nervous about this for so long, but ended up feeling almost nothing.

I had an extremely unpleasant experience at the Women's 'Care' Clinic. The clinic was dirty and poorly maintained, and the staff were rude and impatient. The doctor who performed my IUD removal procedure (Saira Markovic) did not introduce herself and was extremely unprofessional, using inappropriate language like get naked" upon entering the room (with the Dr and two staff in the room). The procedure rooms did not have fully closing doors

i almost didn’t come to this clinic because of the bad reviews but i actually had a good experience. everyone was nice and treated me with respect. long wait but once i was brought in, it was fairly quick. doctors and nurses were great and i have no complaints.

I went for a copper IUD removal. I was very nervous going in. When I had the IUD inserted at another clinic, I had a bad experience where I fainted in the lobby afterwards because of the shock (apparently only happens to 1% of people). Needless to say, I was terrified to have it removed but the nurse and doctor I had were incredible. They made me feel comfortable and the procedure was so fast and painless that I didn’t even realize it had happened. I would highly recommend this clinic. They are very good at what they do and incredibly kind and professional.

Normally I do not leave reviews, but I figured I would leave one to quell some fears as I did before going in to replace my iud. To reassure some not all experiences are the same, and it doesn't always hurt!I personally had a good experience. Waited 30 minutes pass my scheduled time (pretty standard for appointments though), they asked me if I wanted some pain medication, and offered me an alternative when I said I couldn't do ibuprofen (interaction with medication). Was also offered a numbing shot as well. I opted against it.Honestly, the process was super quick. Not even a full 2 minutes I was done. I even asked if I was done. I believe myself to be very lucky, little to no pain at all. It is clear they do this all the time. After I got to sit in a chair, and got some cookies.I would definitely come here again for insertions and removal. The staff are friendly and easy to talk to. However, one thing to keep in mind while choosing is they see a ton of people daily, and it is a small location. There is a sense of needing to keep moving along to the next area. For me that's fine, but that may not be for everyone.

i never leave reviews but i felt like this was justified, i had an appointment for 9am for a IUD replacement. I waited 3.5 hours being moved for waiting room to waiting room before i finally got up and left. i did not realize that when you make a appointment for 9am you would have to wait around until 12:30pm for absolutely no reason. there was no communication to me about the hours i was about to spend in that place or my sister who was also there and was having complications with her IUD (from the previous doctors at this clinic. not her doctor from today she was great.) and didn’t notify anyone, when i was just in the waiting room down the hall. after 3 hours of worrying about my procedure, my sister and dying of heat, i just had to leave. i will say the nurses were nice but that’s the best thing i would have to say.
