This was the first time visiting this clinic and found that the doctor was very professional and easy to talk to. She takes the time to explain things

She was late for every appointment, yet quick to end my sessions and rush me out the door. The information provided was very basic, and readily available online. The analysis of my tests results seemed rather random, and I couldn't understand the science ( or lack thereof) they were based on. Overall, I did not receive value for the money paid. On the positive, she has a nice manner and openly shared details from her personal experience.

It is apparent that you did not receive the attention that we strive to give our clients. On occasion we do run behind if other clients require more time and thus offer additional time to those who have remaining questions either the same day at a later time or to your convenience. We research all therapies in detail and are also happy to provide references or more explanation at anytime. Please contact the office so that more support can be provided to you . Thank you for your feedback so that we may continue to improve our service that we provide. The Revivelife Team

I have just started to go to her and feel relieved that I have finally found THE doctor. I have gone to countless ND’s and had okay experiences but Dr. Villeneuve is different, she is very knowledgeable and I left with concrete answers and solutions. I am so relieved that I can relax and not try to doctor myself anymore because I know she takes her job seriously. She also saw my 4 year old son today and was wonderful with him. He felt very comfortable and again we walked out with a plan and concreate answers. Thank you Dr. Villeneuve!!!

I went with hopes because of the high rating. However, disappointment. Not completely, but that's why i gave an honest 2 star.
The verbal recommendation i received was exactly what i was already doing after personal research. I did not receive an official recommendation, although i paid $200. Not that it matters because it would have been a repeat of my words.

Hi thank you for sharing your input as we can only improve our services if we understand our clients experience. The initial appointment is to gather your history, review any lab work that you have brought in, make recommendations for further testing if indicated and give initial lifestyle recommendations. This gives us the opportunity to research, consult with other team members if indicated, receive lab work, - including your metabolic urine test before your second doctors report visit to provide a precise comprehensive plan - our apologies if this was not clarified for you. I would be happy to complete your initial visit set with your second appointment to share with you full insights. Its great that you have already started your health journey with the changes you have noted. Please let us know if we can complete your plan to get you to your goals by contacting us. Sincerely Dr Joel, ND & the Revivelife team

Great staff, but poor service. She is NEVER on time for her appointments. She doesn’t follow up, rather leaves it to her poor staff who are always so busy. Her prices are far higher than any other Naturopath and or pharmacy in the city and she never seems to have what she recommends.

I came to Dr. Joël for immune system support, and felt like I left with a friend I've known forever. Her rooted attention and deep care for my wellbeing did not go unnoticed, and since I have began to see her for about 3 months now on a regular basis, I have seen for the first time in years actual immune support that my family doctor failed to provide, and bonus sides included reduction in stress, my energy has actually returned, and my overnight sleeps are peaceful and restful! I also loved how I could afford these services, even as a low income individual, from the accommodating payment plans that are offered. Thank you again, Dr. Joel.

Best thing I've ever done for myself! Dr. Joel has been so helpful to me, after struggling for years following my GP's advice and never feeling well I can't say enough good things about Joel and her staff. Within 30 days of following her advice I felt much much better. It's now 75 days and things just keep improving. While it's true sometimes she runs a little behind she is not only worth the wait, but it is greatly appreciated when you need a few more minutes with her. Joel works extremely hard in the community and gives all of us her time free of charge when she does walk through so at our local stores to help educate us to restoring and maintaining good health. I highly recommend her and am very grateful for her. And I can't sign off without acknowledging Krista on the front desk who is always, happy, pleasant and extremely helpful. Thank you so much for the excellent care.
