I started seeing Dr. Honickman for physcotherapy when I was in crisis. I had made some key life choices that left me extremely lonely and isolated, unemployed and in the midst of a financial crisis of inconcievable proportions. Exacerbating this were addictive behaviours that ultimately reinforced my feelings of isolation. I often thought of suicide and was dangerously close to acting on it.

Through Dr. Honickman's knowledge, skill, humanity and kindness, I started to turn a corner. All of the processes and strategies she has introduced me to have helped enormously. She is a superb and patient teacher. In a world of darkness, Dr. Honickman has navigated me to the light. I am now slowly re-integrating and now have a life that is both manageable and joyful.

Had it not been for Dr. Honickman, I hate to think of where I'd be now.

Dr. Honickman is a very caring physician. She takes a holistic approach to health. She listens and takes notes. One is not rushed in the appointment (hence 4 stars, not 5) so you feel your time was well spent with an informed professional. She has a sign in her office, 'QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR', with things like, "Do I really need this test/drug.etc.? " All to say she encourages a conversation with her patients which says much about her respect for them. I wish more doctors used this approach.

I only met Dr Honickman today with my wife and daughter Lauryn. We are new in Toronto. She's an amazing listener. Goes out of her way to be helpful.

I and my two children (now young adults) have been patients of Dr. Honickman for many years. She has been a superb physician in helping us with all aspects of our health and well-being: physical, mental, emotional and social. She is knowledgeable and shares her expertise in a problem solving process with her patients. She listens to and respects the patient. We don't know what we'd do without her.

I've been a patient of Dr Honickman for many years, and in comparison with the drs I've seen regarding various medical issues with my daughter, she is everything you could want in a physician: thoughtful, knowledgeable, collaborative and open to alternative therapies. It's also very convenient to have access to other health care professionals when she's unavailable, whether that be another dr or the nurse. Appointment times are pretty close to the time scheduled and drop in opportunities during the week are very convenient. A great physician!

Amazing. She raises the bar. Knowledgeable and caring.I've been a patient for over 10 years. I've seen others, but when you need something done right so see Debbie. Can't say a bad this about her. And I'm a difficult patient. She actually cares and wants the best for patients. A+++

Dr Honickman is the best doctor I have ever seen. I have been with her for many years and she has made a huge difference in my life. She is smart, compassionate, straight forward, open, solid, takes times with you, looks at your health holistically and is a great person!

I have been with her for years and count my lucky stars that I have her for my doctor. She knows what she's doing medically, but more than that, it's also fun to come see her. She's one of those rare doctors who's also a neat person--smart, kind, perceptive authentic (no BS with her), good sense of humour, and wants to partner with you on your health, not simply tell you what to do. Very respectful. What a gem.
