I am very happy to find finely a doctor I am comfortable with.
Dr. Vladimir Klimov is a very nice and gentle person who really cares about his patients. He is very professional, attentive to details and watchful.
He is performing diagnosis according to the Chinese Traditional Medicine and asking many questions, striving to get into the core of the problem. During my first visit, Dr. Klimov asked me questions covering different aspects of my life, living conditions, habits, health issues etc., to be able to create a treatment plan. And this plan was undergoing review and adjustments each following appointment according to my dynamics.
Dr. Klimov treated me with respect. He took his time to explain me details about the state of my health and his vision of my treatment. His excellent education in both western and eastern medicine gives him ability to explain the specific terms clear and easy to understand.
His guidelines on a diet, lifestyle, physical exercises and herbs are priceless as it is not always possible to find all required information in books.
During his treatments, Dr. Klimov is using a combination of acupuncture, moxa, cupping, ancient Chinese tui-na massage as well as acupressure, magnet therapy, and others. Every his session is unique and a piece of art.
Dr. Klimov’s sessions are not rushed which makes me relaxed and susceptible. Even his manner of communication is therapeutic.
I really appreciate Dr. Klimov’s wholesome, holistic method of treatment supported by his great education, knowledge, experience and his genuine desire to help. He...
Read moreWe had a terrible customer experience at the harbor wellness center. We went in expecting a much better experience given all the positive online reviews, however that was not the case. We purchased a prepaid massage and booked an appointment a month in advance. We called a few days prior to the appointment to confirm, and were told that it is still as scheduled. On the day we drove from Surrey (35 mins one way) and were told 5 mins after the start time off the appointment that they don't have the scheduled person onsite and the session will need to be deferred. We asked then if they would be able to swap one massage session from deep tissue to another type as I had hurt my back. They confirmed that given the inconvenience they would accommodate the request. When we came back for the new appointment, we were informed by the same person, who had previously confirmed it, that they couldn't do the swap and we would need to take the same session as the previous week. When we questioned this change, the person argued that they never made any such commitment and eventually after we called her out on it, we were informed that they made a mistake in telling us that the swap would be accommodated. They left us with no alternative besides taking the massage or requesting a refund. We went ahead with the massage, which to be fair was decent for me, but much better...
Read moreVladimir is an awesome acupuncturist. I highly recommend seeing him if you have any health condition and want to be helped in an alternative way. Me being a RMT I've had many treatments of acupuncture from different Practitioners in 19 years and I'd have to say he's the best I've come across.
His approach has been so gentle, it's the first time I haven't felt a needle go in during a session. He's helped me with the spider veins I was having in my feet, completely taken the pressure I was feeling away immediately after a session. He's honest and knowledgeable in suggesting herbal supplements that will help for circulation as well as recommending food that could help too. After 3 weeks and 2 sessions the veins are completely relieved of pain and swelling.
I've also had many massages from Carmen, she's not a RMT but took RMT school and massages deep and is one of the best I've come across (and I've had a lot of massages in 21 years).
I've been working as RMT at this clinic since I've moved to Vancouver 3 1/2 years ago. I love it and the people I work along with. It's a very...
