CareMed Integrative Health Centre

I recently visited CareMed to get my annual pap-​smear done. My physician was one of their on-​site Naturopaths, Dr. Kennet, and it was one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had with getting such a procedure done. I cannot stress that enough.
Originally I opted to book through CareMed for my papsmear because I’ve had a lot of awful experiences getting them done at walk-​in clinics in the Lower Mainland. Being without a family physician (an impossible thing to find these days), I found CareMed’s services via the internet and it seemed like a great fit. They also accepted my extended health insurance, bonus!
Upon arriving to CareMed I was kindly greeted, filled out some quick paperwork and was quickly seen. The general ambiance was relaxing and welcoming. Considering this was my first ever experience with natural medicine, I was impressed. I really had no idea what to expect and it blew away any of my preconceived notions.
During the procedure, Dr. Kennet was gracious, understanding, kind and warm. She heard my worries, took painstaking effort in creating a calm environment and was wonderfully informative. Not once was I in pain, uncomfortable or unsure. It was SO relieving to finally have such an experience that I could have cried with joy.
Ladies, if you don’t have a family physician, are not comfortable with your family physician doing your pap-​smear, have never had a pap-​smear or would like a more educational and relaxing environment while getting one done, GO HERE. It is so, so worth it.
