Dr Bernstein lack of support/confidentiality

Expect to be disgusted. I signed up for a program at the downtown Victoria location in 2018, I am still bothered by their behaviour so it should be shared with others. I had an unusual personal situation going on that I will not get into/it's not relevant to their business.
The point is: the Dr. Bernstein staff shared my personal information with strangers who inquired about me. The front end staff, the staff in the back (some are nurses) and even the GP who worked there! When I found out what they were doing, I cancelled my program.
They did not deny sharing my personal information with others who asked - I was disgusted with the lack of professionalism and complete lack of privacy from all the staff at the Victoria location (on Gordon St downtown). The GP had the gaul to change the topic of our first (and only meeting) to her 'agenda' which had NOTHING to do with the Bernstein program, she instead made it personal obviously sharing information that was not relevant about the services I had paid and signed up for. Disgraceful. She even at one point asked me why I didn't just join Jenny Craig? It's cheaper - so if I only wanted to lose a bit of weight, why not use that program instead? She then segued back to my personal information which again, had nothing to do with the program that they took money for.
I am only sorry I didn't go to Jenny Craig instead. Do NOT expect your information to be protected, and when I found out what they had been doing, I cancelled and guess what? They made sure to pro-rate what I had paid so of course it was still very profitable for them. They should have given me a 100% refund and apologized but of course did not.
This behaviour from a business run by a physician. Incredibly disappointing, expensive, and Horrific abuse of my personal information.

Dr Bernstein banned from program

I am the next victim of being banned from the Dr Bernstein program!
To make a long story short, I went for my Dr's appointment end of March and had to bring my 2 year old daughter. She acted up at first as any 2 year old would being in a foreign environment. She finally calmed down but the Dr on site had no interest in seeing me and stated that she wouldn't take me in with my daughter in the room. I agree, my daughter was crying and having a fit but she calmed down within 7-8 minutes. I was still refused to be seen as the Dr stated that she didn't have time to see me as she had another appointment scheduled.
I called the call centre and wrote an email on recommendation from one of the staff members. I told them in the email that the behaviour was unacceptable from a Dr, that it was unprofessional and that I expected that action be taken to rectify the situation. I also stated that I would be going to social media to let the public now about this situation. Slap in the face to me! I received a very cold email in return from the Dr Bernstein office saying that any dr wouldn't be able to conduct an appointment with a screaming child. So does that mean that If my daughter cries, any doctor, regardless of situation, can refuse health care?
I phoned the call centre today and was told Mr Bernstein himself banned me because I threatened to go to social media! I laughed! Of course I will let the public know that these people absolutely do not care to help anyone, they just want the money.
Was I angry? Yes. Was I frustrated, yes. Did i raise my voice? Absolutely. If the Dr Bernstein clinic wanted to come to me to fix this problem, I would have been more then happy to. However, Bernstein himself banned me and just shut me out!
They truley do not care for their clients.

I had returned to Dr Bernstein at least 4 times in a ten year period. I was always successful in my weight loss. I was seen each week a least 4 times and saw Dr Anderson on one occasion . I told each nurse I was drinking up to 7 litres of water a day and they all said "great". Then my face swelled from too much water consumption and I questioned if my drinking water excessively had a negative effect on my lack of weight loss, as I only lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks. I wrote a letter outlining my concerns, especially at the disregard from both doctors and nurses at drinking too much water. I asked Dr Bernstein to take accountability for not forewarning me that I was drinking too much water, and asked for a 2 week compensation. Two days later I got a call from a nurse stating my letter was escalated to Dr Bernstein and I was barred from the program. This is the way I was treated after not just being a customer, but referring many to the Dr B program. My advise to all is try Dr Poon before trying this program. It is free and just as effective, and they don't shut you out when you question their mistakes and conduct.

Dr Bernstein - rip off and does not work!

I agree this is a rip off!!! I joined the Bernstein program and then quit as I was pregnant and rejoined after having the baby. I paid for the whole month ($600). They told me that in the past 2004 or so I received extra shots from the program, as an employee had made a mistake on the record sheet and had given me extra shots. Therefore, they refused to...
