"For many years now I have been a client, patient, and supporter of the ' DOWNTOWN WELLNESS CENTRE '. Their special brand of treatments, not only include the physical need, but also allow one to experience that little magical touch called "caring", that is so often missing in most other medical and clinical experiences. My weekly visits have become for me, an important part of maintaining my good health, both physical and spiritual. I look forward to each visit for a 'renewal' of my spirit and the good feeling that comes from knowing, "someone really does care".
I write this today and advise anyone that is willing to listen. My health today,at 48 years of age, is much better than it was when I was 43 yrs. old. I continue to have regular monthly visits with Dr. Badyal not because I have to but because I want to. I use these visits to ensure everything is on target and obtain the latest updated information on health, fitness and diet ideas to greater benefit my own health.
I have recommended Dr. Badyal to several of my family, friends and co-workers in the hope of providing them the same health advantages that I have been privileged to have received from him.
Downtown Wellness Centre is located at the corner of Burrard and Davie street.
