After several appointments with Cara, I can honestly say that seeing her is one
of the best decisions I could have made. Not only is Cara professional and very knowledgeable, she is also caring and reassuring. I never feel anxious or rushed
and Cara always listens to any questions or concerns I might have. If there
were five stars to give her, she would deserve ten!"

She has given me my life back. I suggest if you are borderline about a pessary, just go, see Cara, do it."

I was diagnosed with a pelvic organ prolapse. Not being familiar with that diagnosis, it was wonderful to meet someone who reassured me about the outcome.
She is a very kind and positive person.
Cara talked to me about my options and I feel much more positive about my situation."

He found the Toronto Pessary Clinic and I called and talked to Cara directly. She spent time with me on my initial phone call. We both were impressed with her and I'm so glad I went. She really took care of me. Thank you."

The same service in the hospital would have made an appointment for me three months later. Needless to say, under my condition this wait would have given me needless misery. Thanks Cara."
