Client Story

“After experiencing consecutive head traumas at the beginning of this year, our son developed some devastating mental symptoms. Unfortunately, we found many doors closed to us and were in a constant battle to get help. We felt voiceless and in constant fear that we were going to lose our son, and our family seemed to be falling apart. Everything changed when the OPP put a call out to WAY.”

“I’d like to share about the beautiful experience I had in your ER last week. To begin, the woman at the COVID screening station was so kind and understanding. She even allowed my five-year-old and myself to sit outside for our lunch, so I could give him some fresh air and room to move around. Our time with Dr Brisebois was possibly the best experience I’ve ever had with a physician. He was so kind and patient. He listened to my concerns as a parent. He validated our experience and shared plenty of information, and was just a rare gem in the medical field.”
