This clinic has very attentive and efficient staff. DR Adrian is very personable and clear. He does not talk down to his patients.

My son was origionally referred to Dr Devorak in May 2012 for his scoliosis ,after not hearing back aparently it was somehow missed that the new protocol was he needed to go through the mclean spine clinic for evaluation first so the referal was resubmitted in Nov of 2012 , with new xrays that showed an increase from a 9 degree curvature to over 20 degree . After hearing nothing once again we were told it had been lost so it was resubmitted in May of 2013 ,and after waiting 8 weeks we were told it was about 18 months wait ,,, to date our dr has checked several times but still has no date ,,,, now my sons feet and legs become purple after sitting or standing only a few minutes ,he suffers from constant headaches , doesnt sleep hardly due to leg pain, and his toenails are dying . on the days he works 5 hrs as a cashier his legs are blue for hrs after and ache severly , if hes had to lift items for customers by the time he comes home he says he cant breath due to the pain in his chest mucles and ribs. ( we once saw a Dr in emerg when he had a nosebleed that wouldnt stop and he told us his spine really needs seen to ASAP ,but i told him we are still waitng since origionally 2011)I think a wait time of over 4 years is unacceptable and a crime and maybe CTV needs to look into this ,im very conerned about the permanent nerve damage that is happening to my son .
