Eighth Avenue Family & Maternity Care

Dr Vogler is amazing. Great bedside manner, super friendly, takes time to know her patient, helpful, thoughtful, thinks ahead for her patient and makes recommendations without the patient having to ask. Very clearly up to date on a wide variety of topics. Have never had a better family doctor!

Firstly, I don’t recommend my regular doctor at this clinic at all, but I highly recommend Doctor Connolly. She is absolutely amazing. She has helped me immensely over the past 10 months. She remembers both of my kids and takes the time needed to answer any questions I may have. She isn’t rushed at all. In fact, I was desperate to see someone a few weeks ago for my son, and no doctor was available. She actually ended up staying late so I could avoid taking two kids to Children’s Emergency. The appointment wasn’t even for my daughter, and she was already staying late for my son, but she even made time to check my daughter for some previous concerns as well. She is patient, kind and has impeccable bedside manner. The only doctor I’ve ever had issues with at this clinic is Doctor Craggs. Everyone else has been great!

All the doctors here are super nice and professional! Super love these doctors! Only giving them 3 out of 5 stars because reception is mostly NOT FRIENDLY and would raise their voices to their patients! I do not appreciate attitude like that because it ruins my day! And def today, that TAMMI was EXTREMELY RUDE. You can tell from the way she talked to me! If you are working to places like this with most moms like me has always a lot of things happening in a day, BE SURE TO TALK TO THEM NICELY AND PROFESSIONALLY because PEOPLE LIKE TAMMI can surely make places like this will have bad reputation.

Terrible customer service.My wife is pregnant. The doctor without any questions took a medicine to my wife that i need take them. The medicine was very bad for my body and we were need call the ambulance because i had medicine reactions ( over dose ) I follow the descriptions what the doctor said to my wife and what was on the pills box. But after 5 days i knocked out. After i call the Clinic and who were working on the phone line was ....I dont want say anything about her style that she cant say my name on the phone and im always saying what is my name (George) its a little bit hurt me yes.After that i said what is the problem and they need give me an other medicine they saidI need to go there and talking with a doctor.My question wasWhy not happened on the first time this? Talk with a doctor before?No answer just arrogant attitude.My wife was call the ambulance i told them about that my body was 39.5 for 2 days. Head ache, stomach problem, muscles problem, etc.etc.They drop the phone 3 times on me. I was able say them next time we will meet on the court and my lawyer will call the clinic...So who want go there....Do not goTerrible and horribleCustomer service is zero.You are just a number there.I was thinking that i call my lawyer.

Dr Balaisis and Buhler were both involved in the birth and aftercare of our son. Professional, balanced, and patient centered (ie. not one size fits all) care is the heart of what they do.

Yes, the receptionists are busy and some doctors do keep you waiting, but my family and I have received excellent care at 8th Ave. As a maternity patient especially I always felt really comfortable and cared for. I feel really lucky to have had a group of doctors I could trust to help me through my pregnancy, and now to look after my baby.

Expect long wait times to be taken into your appointment and long times to get an appointment (2-3 weeks) but I LOVE dr vogler. she has been the best physician I've ever dealt with and is willing to discuss your options with you instead of giving you one option. I would recommend her a thousand times over and I would follow her to any clinic. If they could lower wait times and make appointments easier to get right away I would leave 5 stars.

It can be frustrating waiting a long time when they're behind on appointments but it's understandable given the amount of time they spend with the patients actually listening and caring about your health. I've been with Dr. De Valence for over a year now, she took me through my first pregnancy and now almost a year of care with my little one. Every visit she is incredibly thorough and kind. There's even been times where she's thought of things after my departure and called me to discuss issues further. I've moved out of Vancouver but make the drive in just to continue care with her. To add, when I was giving birth I had a few doctors from this clinic come visit me at my bed while on rotation as well, and all of them were amazing.I've also never had an issue with reception. They've been prompt with responding to emails and they're usually pretty polite when checking in.

I do really like this clinic , specially Dr Buhler was and is awesome. Long waiting times but I do get full attention

Dr. de Valence is absolutely wonderful. Caring, professional, patient. She was willing to patiently discuss different options with me to put my mind at ease. Really an amazing doctor.The reason for the 4 stars is the wait time:Appointments tend to run late, at least by 40 minutes and usually by a lot more. There's no open wifi at the waiting area so every appointment means missing almost half a day of work, which can weight heavy on some patients
