Review 01
"As an older person, I was very apprehensive and a little embarrassed about having this procedure but my worries were foundless as Cara was amazingly professional and caring and reassured me every step of the way. Would give her 12 out of 10. Thank you, Cara- you are the best."

TPC Slide Question 03
"Cara is so professional but also so down-to-earth. She really made me feel at ease and very much "normalized" the whole experience. She was able to address all of my questions and concerns and I walked out of the clinic feeling comfortable and confident."

- Ellen Y.
Review 04
"Toronto Pessary Clinic was an excellent resource for me when I needed it most - even during the Pandemic! Their professional and sympathetic personal care was almost literally a life-saver. My knowledgeable and well-trained physical therapist was able to do home visits - something that was particularly important for me. Ongoing support was always available, and requests for additional assistance were met with a warm and prompt response. Can't recommend this clinic or Cara highly enough!"

- Michelle
Review 05
"My experience with Pessary Clinic was life-altering as my prolapse was so bad it was preventing me from going for walks. The pessary I was fitted with has allowed me to go for long walks and enjoy time with my daughter in her new home in Vancouver. I can’t say enough good things about Cara and Pessary Clinic."

- Marion M.
Review 06
"I am happy to say that my visit to Pessary Clinic was very professional and very comfortable. Cara was so pleasant and very thorough. I highly recommend it to anybody. This was a great relief to me after a horrible experience elsewhere."
