    Avoid this place at all cost. All I wanted was a Lyme disease test. I took one there about a decade ago at their old location with n issues. This time, there were 7 forms they wanted filled out. As if they need education level, belly fat amount, etc for a simple test. One of the questionnaires looks like it has about 75 questions. Seeing as i just wanted a Lyme disease test, I figure that this was way more than necessary as it would take a long time to fill out and suspect they are trying to angle you for other treatments. Had to cancel one appointment with a $50 dollar fee which is fine. On the day I showed up, I asked what forms I could avoid filling out for the test. I was told all need to be filled out. It was going to take a long time so I just said to cancel my appointment and left another $50 with them. They said they wanted the full amount but I was not interested as they are not giving me the test(which I found out is just a take home self-test kit). They charged me the full $269 in addition to the $50 and guess what. it is all in their in their very long fine print of details. So bottom line, due to my not reading their info, my attempt for a simple Lyme disease check led me to be out over $300 dollars from this place when the phone conversation with them led me to believe that I would get a simple Lyme disease test. So, I will accept 100% fault and advise everyone to avoid. Especially when you can get a self-test kit on-line for well under $100 dollars. I shouldn't have assumed that good service a long time ago would avoid what happened this time.

    I booked an appointment to do some lab work, and the service was prompt. I explained on the phone that I needed genetic testing for MTHFR and was told that they do it if I book an appointment. I went in, and was surprised that they could not refer me directly to do the testing and instead looked up several genetic testing places and told me to email a specific one to see if they can do what I am looking for. I was very surprised as I could have easily done this myself without coming to them. I later proceeded to do the genetic testing with the place they recommended, fast forward 6 months later they turned out to be a scam and I am out for the cost for the visit and lab work which almost $1000. I asked for them to send me the report they generated during my consultation, and they sent me one that has my name on it, but the actual report belongs to another patient. I felt as if they tried to get me in to make business, which I am not impressed about. I am reluctant to go back giving my experience, it was a waste of money for me.

    I had a horrible experience with Dr Villeneuve. Her knowledge seemed mediocre and outdated. Hugely overpriced too. Moreover, my baby's urgent lab test was cancelled by her receptionist by mistake and I had to wait for more than a month just to find out that she cancelled it and no results will be forthcoming. She told me to re-do the test and wait again. During that month I called her 2 times to alert her that the test result is overdue, however she was rude and abrupt, telling me to wait MORE. When it was finally obvious that something is wrong and she cancelled my test by mistake, she didn't even apologize. I was shocked. I contacted Dr V about this outrageous experience and she ignored me. I didn't expect her to make things right as she had come across as arrogant during our initial appointment. All in all a really outdated, miserable clinic and hugely overpriced. I went elsewhere with wonderful consultants and significantly cheaper. Update and PS: At the time, I had contacted the owner twice. By physically visiting the clinic with the baby and asking the receptionist to relay my message - the receptionist came back with a response/executive decision that only an owner could make. And shortly after that by social media (where she is active), as encouraged on her website. Dr Joel's email address is not publicly available so I obviously couldn't have possibly emailed her.

    Dr. Joel is so knowledgeable and very helpful. She was not only able to assist me in my needs for better health and future goals but also dug deep into my own personal life stress levels and gave me advice on an interpersonal level. She is someone I trust very much to heal me and keep me healthy and cancer-free. She did not have a timeline for our meeting and we spoke until we had all the questions answered and plan was set. Thank you Revive and thank you very much for your patience and care Dr. Joel Villeneuve.

    Not the way to handle a new client. Starting with lies and calls from unknown number without notifying the client to expect your such call. And email that you are not available anymore 10min after the original appointment. This one on you, Diana. I will look for professional service elsewhere.

    Don't waste your money. This is based on hokey science. Much of what she recommends is not, I repeat, NOT based on science. Joel Villeneuve is an absolute nut bag.

    I started seeing Dr Villeneuve in 2018 while going through some life changing problems. She is/was genuinely concerned, empathetic, and caring. She's definitely in this because she really wants to help people get better, providing numerous treatment plans and working out alternatives. I have never felt rushed during any of my appointments. Jessica and Kevin are super fantastic and have always accommodated me or provided info in any way they can as well. The whole office feels like a family (even though I am not related).

    I have been working with Dr.Joel for over 7 years to treat a chronic health condition. Her experience and knowledge and the plan she developed for me have helped more than I could have every hoped for. I feel fortunate to have found Dr.Joel and grateful for the treatment she has provided. She is a rare gem of a doctor.

    I have just finished my eighth session with Dr.Diana for cosmetic facial acupuncture and I highly recommend!!! Seeing a positive difference in how my skin looks and how I feel in general. Diana is professional, kind, passionate and always going the extra mile to make sure I get the best out of my treatment. It really does feel like going to the spa, but with the bonus of someone really caring about your overall well-being!

    Dr. Diana has been amazing! I've been working with her for almost a year now, and HIGHLY recommend. One thing we were able to make major major progress on was my seasonal spring allergies. I always look forward to my appointments with her, it feels more like chatting with a friend (who just happens to also be an expert in naturopathic treatments and remedies).

    When general medicine failed me, with a big F I must say, Dr. Joel Villeneuve gave me back the hope I could be normal again. The treatment was not easy and required discipline but it cured issues I had been dealing with for years and had surgery for I did not need and did nothing to relieve my symptoms and distress. I have been well for two years but went back to see her for a tweaking. I am planning to check in with her on a regular basis. As a bonus I found a physician who likes working with naturopathic doctor and with their different expertise, I feel confident I will be healthy for years to come!

    Dr. Joel's recommendations have been incredibly effective in helping me achieve my wellness goals. Within a few months of working with her, I began to notice significant improvements in my energy levels, digestion, and overall mood. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a holistic and evidence-based approach to wellness.

    Dr. Anderson is a very good doctor. And when I arrived the receptionist was very pleasant and helpful. She told dr Anderson I had arrived. And a minute later the doctor came to greet me. Dr. Anderson is by far a knowledgeable doctor in his field. Regards, Yves Gagne

    Dr. Villeneuve is the best. She is very thorough and reassuring. My little boy loves her and always feels better knowing she is taking care of him when unwell. I feel the same. Thank you Dr. V and team, you are a blessing.

    I have complete confidence in Dr Joel Villeneuve when it comes to treating my digestive health and food intolerances. She treated me ten years ago and again recently. I appreciate the detailed analysis she uses when treating my symptoms.

    Dr. Joel and her team are the absolute best all around naturopath in the city. So kind and so helpful - office is lovely and so is the staff. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Joanne C. 3 years ago on Google
    Care is good through Shannon and Dr. Joel. Some follow up by client is needed vs follow up from office but this has not been a problem although it would be good to set that expectation up at the beginning.

    This place was recommended to me through another agency. I had high hopes but was not impressed at their listening skills. Rude receptionist too. Won't be back.

    The world needs more doctors like Joel. Always so informative and on the ball when it comes to keeping me pain free. Thank you for your due diligence.

  • 5/5 Dahna W. 4 years ago on Google
    Revivelife Clinic provides very professional services, including the Reception staff. I have consulted Dr. Ian Anderson (Chiropractor) for approximately 20 years, and consider him to be a brilliant and highly skilled diagnostician. He fixes my issues, does not drag things out like some practitioners, and teaches me how to do exercises to help myself, and sends me happily on my way. I have 100% trust and confidence in him.

  • 5/5 Lahari P. 9 months ago on Google
    I had trouble getting my periods consistently for few years and I approached Dr Joel for treatment around 10 months back. Dr Joel and NP Alex helped me run some blood work and started on supplements and BHRT. I got my periods back. Dr Joel identified the causes and helped me with diet and lifestyle changes. I started losing weight and my results started to get better. They monitor your health for every three months and make changes in the supplements and diet accordingly. I suggest Revive clinic to anyone who is suffering from similar issue as I have tried a bunch of things before this and it was never as efficient as it is now.

    I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Dr. Joel as my Naturopathic Doctor. She’s not just a doctor; she's a true partner in my journey to better health. Her compassion, dedication, and personalized approach have made all the difference. Her holistic approach to health is a game-changer. She doesn't just focus on treating symptoms but delves deeper to address the root causes of health issues. Her attention to the whole body, including the effects of stress, sets her apart. With her guidance, I have witnessed significant improvements in my health and overall well-being. I feel more energetic, balanced, and have a newfound sense of vitality. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone seeking a holistic and knowledgeable Naturopathic Doctor. Thank you, Dr. Joel, for making such a positive impact on my life!

👍👍 Fantastic clinical environment. Very proper and respectful. I've been seeing Monika for a few years, and she is amazing for deep tissue/sports recovery massage. She has been helping me recover from a shoulder injury, and I am definitely seeing results. Highly recommend.
