Reviews
Chemainus Health Care Centre receives mixed reviews with praise for quick appointment times and efficient processing, but significant concerns about diagnostic care quality and staff professionalism. One reviewer documented a serious case where a doctor dismissed post-collision trauma symptoms and refused imaging, which later revealed cervical spine damage after a 10-month delay. Other complaints include 6-hour wait times and unprofessional staff conduct.
