History
Established in 2006
noun | em·kiro | [em·kē·ro]
origin: Japanese
definition: a crossroads in health care; one's journey back to optimal health
Emkiro has an amazing location and hours of operation. It is quite easy to make an appointment. The clinic is very clean and new and pleasant to be in.
There are 2 main issues in the clinic:
1)Some receptionists and customer service in general requires quite a lot of improvements. They can be rude sometimes and definitely do not care about anything else but themselves. I also noticed that...

My doctor (Dr. Nadira Mohabir) is great - very friendly and thoughtful. However, I can only make appointments a few days in advance, given that Emkiro only creates their weekly schedule every Wednesday, which is frustrating. The front desk receptionists are probably the worst, most unfriendly and unhelpful bunch I think I've ever communicated with. When I was waiting for my dental procedure, I... more
Over the last few years I have gone to see Dr. Rattansi for a multitude of injuries. He has always been able to treat the root cause and get me on my way as quickly as possible. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great chiropractor.
I have been a patient here for about 3 years, and have had experiences with several doctors
Pros: location and hours are convenient appointments are made quickly. Wait times are reasonable. A good place if you need a quick prescription refill. I have also used the physiotherapy here which was very good and helped my issue.
Negative: After seeing various doctors at this location for various...

I have been a patient of Emkiro for about 6 years and couldn't be happier. Dr. Sarah Cook is my family physician, and she has literally saved my life. After years of being sick, she was the only doctor to help diagnose me and get me healthy again. She listens to her patients, offers genuine honesty, empathy and kindness. She has gone above and beyond what any other doctor has ever done for me,... more
Emkiro is a bit of a hot mess. Chronic sweating problem during summer's hottest day kind of hot mess. Your general practitioner runs out of the office in a panic due to an emergency 10 minutes before your appointment and consequently cancels all her appointments for the evening (yes, this has happened to me here...)
Dr. Cook seems to be the clinic's saving grace, her warmth, receptiveness,...

The clinic is conveniently located, and I do like my doctor (Dr. Cook) very much. They also have all sorts of services for people working in downtown with health insurance.
I am very concerned that they are not very professional as a "medical clinic". I had blood work done the other day. When I went in the room, there were someone else's blood collection tubes randomly placed on the table...

Not sure why the reviews are so great. I've been there twice and everytime I feel soooo rushed and misdiagnosed. They're literally pushing you out the door. They told me the policy is one question per session. If only you could time your health to have only one thing wrong with you!
Anyway, First time I saw Farzana Haq, I had early signs of frost bite and she said I didn't have to see a...

I get a weekly chiro adjustment with Dr. Michelle kang. Full disclosure she's a friend of mine, but she is very thorough and knowledgeable.
Located right at university and wellington it's conveniently located for anyone working in the downtown core like myself.
Not a walk-in clinic if you can't walk-in and see a doctor. First time patients are required to call the same day to make an appointment.
Given its proximity to the downtown core, I decided to try its massage therapy services during the busy lunch hour as a small break to a long day. I have been to many Massage Clinics around Toronto and GTA and the service provided by the RMT therapists at Emkiro is undoubtedly one of the worst I have experienced.
The therapist was late, did not perform the full one hour service as billed to...

I was having a hard time finding a family doctor in Toronto, so I asked friends for recommendations. A friend spoke very highly of Dr. Farzana Haq and the entire practice, so I scheduled an initial appointment.
Dr. Sarah Cook is now my family doctor. She is kind, non-judgemental, and very professional. You really feel that she cares about her patients. I have been in a few times now, and have...

Despite the staff being courteous they were not at all helpfull, I called four times and got a different answer each time. I ended up signing up for nutritional package and it was a complete waste of money, there was no support and no real valuable information given. I only went here because every other clinic I called was booked up for at least a month and Emkiro took me right away. I ended up... more
The fact that you can book a time for a walk-in appointment is definitely a plus. However, every time I've had a walk-in appointment, I've waited 15 minutes in the lobby. Additionally, the last time I visited, I literally waited 40 minutes to see a doctor - appointment was for 2:40 and I was drafting this review at 3:22.
Of course, this is better than waiting hours at a normal walk-in but it...

I have been living in Toronto for two years now, and until stumbling upon Emkiro I couldn't find a family doctor who would answer my calls, lets alone take me as a patient. One call to Emkiro and I had found myself a warm, trustworthy family doctor (Dr. Sara Cook). I went to my initial appointment with Dr. Cook was was honest, open, warm, and has taken a pro-active approach to my health in the... more
Emkiro squeezed me in for an early morning appointment when I threw my back out before work.
Wonderful chiropractor and acupuncture services, although pricey if you don't have medical coverage.
This is not a good walk-in in clinic, very bad experience and they charge for late visits, so watch out! I am always rushed, noone listens carefully to my problem and I feel like they want me to leave faster.
Great location and my doctor is great, however they are pretty strict on timelines and penalties. Support staff needs some work but generally a good place for business.
Great Staff!! Very friendly and professional environment! Service was awesome!
