Struggling with your Health?

I’ve had a wonderful experience at Venn Med Over the years, I’ve seen several different providers, and every interaction has been positive. What really sets this clinic apart is the way the practitioners work together. They genuinely collaborate and communicate with one another, which makes you feel supported and confident that everyone involved in your care understands your health goals and treatment plan. In today’s healthcare environment, that kind of coordinated, patient-centered care is rare to find. The team is knowledgeable, compassionate, and takes the time to listen. I’ve always felt welcomed, respected, and cared for. I highly recommend Venn Med to anyone looking for a clinic that provides exceptional care and truly puts patients first.

Ronna at the front desk is kind and welcoming. Eric (sp?) did my "Nasa lean" test before my intake appointment started. He was kind and personable. My resting HR laying down was 40 bpm above my baseline so I was nervous about the results not reflecting it! However, Dr. Jacobson listened to my story, was thorough with his questions and clearly explained the factors he thinks may be contributing. He is the first doctor I've seen in 4 years, since going from an active lifestyle 6 days a week to mostly housebound, to offer any sort of intervention. He prescribed 2 promising medications, recommended a supplement and gave me a referral for compression leggings. This is significantly more progress than I've made with other health professionals in my 4 years of pushing through this disabling, multi-systemic illness. *Update* 1 month since starting these interventions I've gone from struggling to stand and 10 mins walking at a time max with payback, to now able to stand and walk around my apartment, work my full time remote hours, and walk or resistance train for 1 hour with minimal payback. Dr. Jacobson's care continues to be kind and thorough. I'm very grateful! I'd highly recommend to anyone whose health issues ramped up/were brought on post-virally! Feeling the most hope I've had since becoming ill.

I would encourage you to stay far away from Dr. Elliot Jacobson. Nice guy, but questionably competent. I contacted him during a stressful time to ask for some Armour Thyroid to give me a little boost. It had helped once before. He prescribed it, even before doing bloods, and when the bloods came back optimal re: thyroid, he allowed me to continue. I trusted him that this was okay. In fact, I kept going with it for close to ten months, during which time I began to lose an enormity of weight and became seriously anxious. There were a variety of reasons for this, but the thyroid med was one. He never once insisted on another blood test. And then, when I needed help to calm down and sleep, I asked for a sleeping med called Zopiclone. He provided it, despite knowing that I had real difficulty with it when found illegally inside of a holistic sleeping aid called 'U-Dream'. Thereafter, and I am working hard to get an investigation into what happened to my psyche and body, I went through a tumultuous time that nearly killed me (severe physical and psychological consequences). It may well be that the Zopiclone was not to blame, but it should never have been diagnosed given my history. When I contacted him to let him know what happened, he had the audacity to tell me that I had experienced a previous psychological situation like this. This was untrue, and an effort to divert from his own accountability. I have now lost all respect for Elliot and Venn (where he works). The thing is you pay a significant annual fee for Elliot, in addition to what he charges OHIP. In response, he should have MORE time to focus on you and your meds. Instead, he seems to have less. I have always been an alternative Doctor kind of guy but this brought me back to traditional medicine. My current doctor is not as open-minded as Elliot, but he seems to be more mature and responsible. Elliot has low energy, and that may explain why he doesn't have enough energy to do his job properly. Honestly, all his 'special' education feels more like shtick than anything else. Much ado about nothing.

Thanks to Dr. Christina Carew, my post-surgery healing has been better than expected. I had corrective jaw surgery, and she gave me a personalized supplement protocol to support my recovery. At my 6-week follow-up, my surgeon was surprised at how quickly I was healing and said my progress was ahead of most patients. I’m so grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her!

Venn Med truly saved my career at a time when I thought I might never return to my sport. I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Demian, Dr. Shirley, Christie, and Alicia for their dedication in diagnosing the root cause of my injury and ensuring I could return to play safely. Their expertise and commitment made all the difference. I will forever be thankful for their care. If you’re looking for the best, Venn Med is the place to go!
