A kind and gentle person she has the skills of great Doctors. She listens but more important she hears. Just watch out for the elbows

She is the best. After nearly 12 years of suffering back problems due to a bad fall and having my hip replaced, Dr. Squire has nailed it. I already, after only 3 treatments feel much better. I will continue to see her for the next while. She knows what to look for and helps you regain your life again. ( just like the name of her clinic).

I have had back pain for years and Dr Squires gave me relief that I couldn't get anywhere else. I'm go grateful that Dr. Squires could help me and help relieve the pain. My back Pain was debilitating and I couldn't even walk 2 blocks and now the relief allows me to walk triple the distance. Great improvement from the treatment.

Dr. Squires decided to charge for her treatments in Kelowna without informing the patient...ME! I wait 3 months to see her and she is constantly late seeing patients and rushed through all the appts I've had with her. She referred me to Prime physio incorrectly and then no one can get in touch with her. THEN...she refers me to a Dr. I actually told her about when he was new to Kelowna...I'm already seeing this Dr.! I gave her his business cards. What a gong show! I am a chronic pain survivor in a pandemic and desperately need treatments with all gyms shut down. Dr. Squires is coming to Kelowna once a month and takes Januarys off...this leaves very little time for proper treatments. I don't want to have to fight to get proper care here but it seems apparent that Dr. Squires is not looking out for my best care...she prefers cash paying patients...and didn't bother to tell me this prior to torturing me with her elbows and knees in my injured areas, causing large bruising and a letter to my GP which no one can figure out what she is talking about. Dr. Squires is not operating with in the best interest of her oath to care for her patients. The long wait times in the clinic are ridiculous...she does not stick to her schedule and obviously continously overbooks herself for cash paying chronic pain victims.

Well, as far as I know she loves money and who ever pays more she spends more time and ignore others waiting. I understand that the money is important to her but respect others is also important. If she wants to spends more time with patients who pays more then she has to let others know or schedule it differently. Well, after many sessions with her, i got no results and i am happy that i am not going there. She is not the only one doing this treatment and I found other person doing that.

Always always late, appt is rushed. Did not take the time go over cost until after 1st treatment. After I had to cancel appt due to family emergency, they would not return phone calls, emails. I'm low income, so I guess having difficulty paying for treatments was the issue of not continuing seeing me

She is fantastic, so caring. She always spends a lot of time with me and treats all my pain, as a result she runs behind. Which I am ok with.
I see her at the Kelowna clinic. It’s a nice clinic. Clean, great front office staff.

She was great. The College of Physicians and Surgeons in BC is not very helpful with doctors such as Dr. Squire. The CPSBC is still in the 1950’:60’s . The Ministry of Health in BC is notoriously backwards. All one has to do is notice the lack of physicians in any specialty in BC. GP’s at clinics is a favourite format. Then there is short appts and lack of continuity in care. This has been a chronic problem in BC medicine for 25 years and it’s not getting any better.
