Athlete's Care Sports Medicine Centres - Liberty Village

It’s run very efficiently and the doctors don’t seem in a rush. They spend proper time with you.

A friend referred me to Linda when i had stiffness in my neck and upper back. That was a year ago and I have been going to my girl Linda and Athlete’s Care ever since. Best place to get you right

I developed lower back problems that got so bad that I was having difficulty standing up. I remember one night I had to drag myself to the bathroom on my knees. I even bought a cane! I was like this is it - the downward spiral begins. Finally my doctor sent me to Athlete's Care where I lucked into meeting Gabby. I know that Gabby wasn't sent by god but she was my angel. She started me on a series of simple exercises that immediately helped improve my situation. Over the course of 2-4 visits a month for the summer, she helped me work on core, strength and stretching exercises and did acupuncture that have helped permanently. It helped so well, I ditched the cane and started back in to mowing lawns for my wife and playing basketball. I've been lazy at keeping up the exercises so I bet I might wind up here again, but for now Gabby has given me my life back

The physiotherapist Linda is absolutely fantastic. She was recommended to me by the staff who work there to deal with my particular issue, and from working with her for only a month, I have already seen a huge improvement in my movement, agility, strength and posture.

I've been seeing Linda at Athlete's Care for several months to address a long-term shoulder issue and she's been incredibly helpful. She’s very intuitive and I like that she addresses the whole body to get to the root of specific issues. Super caring and compassionate as well, always makes me feel comfortable. Her recommended exercises have been helpful and I have definitely seen progress since starting treatment, I would recommend her to anyone!

I have been going to Trevor at Athlete’s Care and he is fantastic! He explains the reasoning behind the treatment he recommends and is very kind. He has really helped my knee issues get better. The option to do shockwave and many types of treatments in one place is so great.

DJ was an amazing physiotherapist! He helped me with both of my achilles tendon pain! I would recommend him 10/10!

Very attentive and professional staff. In the past Linda helped me with a serious knee injury so effectively that I was able to complete a 20 day trek in the Himalayas. When I recently injured my elbow I asked for her to look after me again. She has a no-nonsense approach that works wonders, recommends simple exercises/stretches to perform at home and provides instant feedback. Highly recommended

I saw both Linda and Brian for my shoulder and back issues, and I can definitely feel the improvement on how my body reacts as well as reducing the pain levels over the course of treatments. They are caring, they listen, and they tailor the treatment plan towards your personal goals and make adjustments along the way on what works and what doesn't. I highly recommend them for physio. And judging on the brief interactions with the other therapists there, they are all very professional and friendly.
The front desk staff (Fatima and Ova) are lovely and very efficient as well!

I injured my shoulder and It was very hard for me because I wasn’t able to keep my life as usual as I’m a very active person. Thanks to Linda and the sessions I had with her I was able to recover from my injury. I was impressed by her dedication, professionalism, and the fast and active recovery I had.

I injured my knee (torn muscle, dislocation, and fractured patella) playing hockey and required surgery this past January. My surgeon referred me to begin physiotherapy to Athletes Care. I worked with Damanjit Lachhar (DJ) over the last 6 months and im super happy and proud to be healthy, strong and working towards playing sports again. Working with DJ was awesome, he is very attentive and knowledgeable. DJ helped temper my expectations and focus on slowly building back the strength in my knee. It was a pleasure working with DJ and would recommend him to anyone for physiotherapy! Great guy, knows his stuff!

Linda is a really helpful and has helped me recover from my back and neck issue. She is genuinely caring about her patients, can’t thank enough for all the help:)

I am delighted to provide a review for the Liberty Village Athletes Care Sports Medicine clinic and share my experience with their exceptional front desk staff, Fatima and Ova. These two individuals were simply amazing, and they made my visit to the clinic an unforgettable one.

From the moment I stepped into the clinic, I was warmly welcomed by Fatima and Ova. They were both very professional, courteous, and attentive to my needs. They provided me with all the necessary information I needed for my appointment and answered all my questions patiently.

What made my experience exceptional was the kindness that Fatima and Ova showed towards me. They made me feel valued as a patient, and their positive energy and smiles were infectious. They went out of their way to ensure that my visit to the clinic was a pleasant one.

In addition to their warm and friendly demeanor, Fatima and Ova were also very knowledgeable about the clinic's services and facilities. They provided me with detailed information about the different treatment options available and helped me to schedule my next appointment.

Overall, my experience at the Liberty Village Athletes Care Sports Medicine clinic was excellent, and I cannot thank Fatima and Ova enough for their outstanding service. Their kindness, professionalism, and dedication to their work are a true reflection of the clinic's commitment to providing top-notch care to its patients. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for exceptional sports medicine care.

Had a great experience here. Reception staff are super friendly, efficient and helpful - everything you want. I had several physio sessions with Emily Karageorgos for a shoulder issue. Emily was great - knowledgeable, and explained the mechanics of things very well. The treatments were on point, and the suggested home-exercises perfectly calibrated and shared in a handy spreadsheet. Emily always followed up and knew what I needed - couldn’t have asked for more. She’s also very friendly and always laughed at my dumb jokes.

Linda Gomercic is hands down the best physiotherapist that has ever treated me (and I've been treated by a lot of physios!).
She's incredibly knowledgeable and very thorough - with a deep understanding of her field, she diagnoses and treats the entire body instead of just the spot where you are experiencing pain. She carefully considers a treatment plan and appropriate exercises for "homework".
She's friendly, down-to-earth, and has a great sense of humour, too! I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Linda is the best! I hurt my lower back over a year ago where I had trouble sitting/standing up without having a painful lower back spasm. In my initial visit, she diagnosed exactly what was wrong. Her expertise in various therapy treatments and ability to communicate how they work is amazing. She’s extremely knowledgeable and gave me exercises/stretches to do at home which has been very helpful. Linda had me back to working out and playing sports again without pain in no time. Definitely the best Physiotherapist. Thank you Linda and the Athlete’s Care Liberty Village team!

I’ve been a patient of the clinic and Dr Trevor Vander Doelen for years now. I originally began seeing him while recovering from a broken foot. He is friendly and takes the time to find the root cause of the issue (s) and I find I am quick too see progress and results. The clinic is clean and all other brief interactions with staff have been great! Booking is easy via the website or on the phone - in some instances if my schedule doesn’t align with available spots the front desk staff have been able to find a solution at another, close by, location in the city. 10 out 10 I would recommend a visit to this clinic and specifically to Trevor!

My son has seen multiple Physiotherapists in the last 12 years. This draining journey has been immensely stressful and taxing on both of us. I realise he clearly needs guidance and support in this area but he has had a difficult time accepting, following and believing in the endorsed process. He has also had a hard time trusting a complete stranger in advancing and developing his life.

Then we found Linda! Linda…

Linda is patient, she is kind. She is Intelligent and she is extraordinarily adaptable. I realised (after one session with Linda), this is what a Physiotherapist is supposed to do! I now finally see the benefits and also, the magnificent results, of physiotherapy.

Linda has changed my son's life.

And she takes immense pride in doing so (as she should!) Watching her skilled advice, fortitude and diligence alter my son for the better, has strengthened and changed both of our lives, categorically.

Linda, you are a very rare and extraordinary person. Who is clearly passionate and determined about the development and transformation you aspire to. Earnestly servicing the people you guide.

I am very glad I chose you to help and work with my son. You have truly navigated, inspired and reassured both of us, in what it means to have true character and a wonderful, credible morality. You were meant to do this transforming profession.

Thank you Linda!

Linda is truly the best! She is warm and genuine, and wonderful with patients of all ages. She has treated both my children and myself. Her holistic approach and ability to combine traditional physiotherapy with the thoracic ring/connect therapy assessment and treatments truly set her apart from any other physio that I've seen. As a health care practitioner myself, I have referred a number of patients with complex pain presentations to Linda and they have all reported positive experiences and outcomes. Go and see Linda at Athlete's Care Liberty Village, you will not be disappointed!

I’ve been seeing Physiotherapist Linda for my pelvic rotation problem. She is truly exceptional. She spends enough time to listen to one’s concern. She doesn’t focus just on the pain area but does a thorough examination and finds out the root cause of the problem. She is very caring for her patients and feels accomplished and happy when they recover. She is very jovial and knows exactly how to distract your mind from the pain if her therapy is going to hurt you ha ha!
I would highly recommend her.

"This clinic is fantastic! Highly organized, professional, knowledgeable, easy smooth appointment booking and super nice helpful staff. Trevor Vander Doelen (Chiropractor) has truly been a miracle worker for me through the years. He really listens and treats the whole you, uncovering the root problem rather than simply treating the pain. He has bee a game changer with my chronic pain and my recent shoulder injury when nothing else seemed to be working.  »

Visited this location as I had a referral to come and see Taylor DiBrita for an ongoing issue with what I thought was sciatica.

Taylor’s professionalism combined with his exceptionally warm, interested and caring manner and personality made me feel at ease. He determined that I had week glutes and hips and provided me exercises in order to strengthen them. 6 months in and it has enabled me to complete exercises and movement I did not feel I would ever achieve again, which I have incorporated into my daily life.

It has been an enlightening experience to learn just what good physiotherapy can achieve including for me the ability to have confidence to go jogging again, which with all the exercises he suggested have made it possible. Again, thank you Taylor for your encouragement and expertise.

I highly suggest seeing Taylor for your physio needs.

Linda is the best physio! I’ve been seeing her for a shoulder and back injury and she has been so helpful. I’ve been able to continue training with some adjustments.

I like that I can book online and the staff at the clinic are really nice.

A very overdue review! I've been coming to this location of Athlete's Care for some time now for physiotherapy and can't speak more highly of the care and treatment I've received from Linda Gomercic. From helping me understand and address the underlying issues and create a plan to support me moving forward, she's been great! Would highly recommend her for treatment. Additionally, the front desk staff are always friendly and helpful, and the online booking process for appointments makes things a breeze.

My physiotherapist is truly the best at tackling my chronic back pain. It’s an old herniated disc injury that just keeps coming back and Brian does an absolutely amazing job at getting rid of my muscle and bone pain. I’ve been coming to this location for years even after moving away from this area and living in the GTA. I would highly recommend this location and Brian.

Have had a wonderful and helpful experience seeing Linda as a physiotherapist for my back pain. For massage therapy, both practitioners I have seen have been fantastic. Priscilla for gentler treatment and Margarita for deeper tissue. Higher recommend all three practitioners!

Linda is the best. So thankful for this place. Have been for two separate issues and they were handled so well both times.

The team at Athlete's Care is awesome. Linda addressed a chronic shoulder issue and hip concern that I have had for months. I feel great and look forward to my next treatment. Keep up the great work!

A great clinic with many wonderful practitioners, but Margarita Moore is the best massage therapist I’ve ever had. She relies on a broad range of techniques and experiences to problem solve how to address your issues and then relentlessly attacks them. I’ve never hard more effective treatment of deep muscle issues

Taylor DiBrita has been such a great physio. I went to him after breaking my wrist and over the past three months my mobility has increased exponentially! He is diligent, patient, and super knowledgable; it's easy to see his genuine passion for physiotherapy and acupuncture.
Thank you DiBrita!

My partner and I met with Adriana Biernat (License #13675) who helped us with our respective knee injuries. Adrianna was very personable, kind, and extremely helpful in treating our individual injuries. Athletes care was also great to work with- a professional environment with all the tools needed to start the healing process. Thank you Adrianna!

I had spent years with a lower back issue, that was looked at by other Physiotherapists and RMT treatment with no relief. After 1 visit Matt had a good idea what was causing my pain and referred me to Trevor to get some acupuncture on top of my massage. A few treatments later my back felt great, they explained to me the cause and provided stretches and exercises to prevent the issue from coming up. I now routinely visit these guys anytime I have an issue due to my strenuous job or just need to loosen up. The front desk staff are also incredibly friendly. You won't regret coming here.

Adriana is absolutely phenomenal. She has a ton of knowledge and skillfully diagnosed my knee problem, which ended up lining up with what the MRI showed. She was right about the timeline to get back to activity. Her mix of massage, acupuncture, and exercise techniques worked perfectly. If I ever have a physio problem again, I’ll be going straight back to Adriana.

I had an excellent experience at this clinic.
Dr. Vander Doelen is extremely knowledgeable, and provides excellent services while explaining everything clearly. I feel like I am in excellent hands.

Linda is by far the best physiotherapist I have ever been treated by. Her approach is kind and compassionate and you will see results. I would highly recommend Linda.

Is amjad seriously a certified massage therapist? Im honestly curious? Worst massage I've ever had in my life. I left 20 Mins in. I explained my problem areas (back, shoulders and knees) and i was given a belly rub for 15 mins.
I've had 100s of massages and this was hands down the worst I've ever had.plus I had to deal with some attitude at the end of my appointment.whatta shame.waste of time. And I'm still in pain

This place and the team are just amazing!

I was very lucky to find this place.from the people in the reception to the specialist Linda Gomercic!

Why?

Diagnosis:
I was experiencing some pain in one of my arms because of the many hours using my laptop. Linda was extremely professional. She took a good time going through the physical examination and asking the right questions.

Bonus: You don't feel like "here it comes another patient"

Follow-up sessions:
- I felt like visiting a friend. She was extremely nice which to be honest makes you forget that you are sometimes in pain.
- She guided me through the process so I got to understand my body
-There were always very effective exercises that were very easy to do at home. This helped to accelerate the recovery process
- She was always available to answer questions

The end:
At the end of the process (after a few sessions), I finally managed to fully recover. These days, I keep following Linda's recommendations and now I am feeling better than ever!
The only sad part is that I enjoyed so much every appointment that it felt bittersweet when I had to the good bye: (.

Excellent experience and highly recommended!

Thank you team!

So happy I found this place and Linda near me. Linda is so optimistic and very thorough in her treatment and becomes your personal coach. She takes your goals to heart and works with you on achieving them. I also have fun in my sessions even though Linda makes me work and I suffer good pain) She is always available if you have questions as well or if something doesn't seem to be working will provide alternatives. Linda is very mindful and considerate as well about your benefits coverage which is not necessarily the norm.

I was suffering from very sore elbows to the point that even doing rudimentary daily tasks became quite taxing. I was referred to Linda Gomeric, a physiotherapist at the Athlete’s Care Liberty Village. Linda was amazing. She was very personable and immediately established the source and cause of my pain. She took a holistic approach to solving the pain problem and through a program of manipulation, massage and exercise, Linda was able to render me pain free in a very short period of time. The physical space is clean and the front desk is friendly, efficient and accommodating.

Everyone at the front desk is helpful and professional, and I am so grateful to Mikaela and Michael for their patience, kindness and support with my ailing body. Would (and have!) recommended them to anyone & everyone.

I had a sports-related knee injury recently and tried this place for the first time. Adriana was fantastic and had me back playing tennis in no time. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and able to quickly diagnose the problem and set me on the right path to fix it, but she was very personable and a great listener. I would highly recommend Adriana and the Athlete’s Care Liberty Village team and I will be returning next time I have a sports injury!

Hi Linda.
Thank for your treatment.
Since I take your treatment, my back challenge has been improving, so your skills and experiences are amazing. Also, I appreciate all staff like Alex and others because you guys’s care is great.
I’m looking forward to see you again soon.
God always care and love you.
Thanks

Runners if you are looking for a treatment clinic, look no further. Athlete's care Sports Medicine Centres-Liberty Village will be able to provide analysis of your personal mechanics, injury or issue and develop a program to effectively return you to best condition so you can get back to running. The staff were knowledgable, professional, great communicators and very friendly. Highly recommended

Had one of the best massages with Akeela.
I've tried many different places in search of a massage that actually left me feeling relieved of pain & stress. Finally found one. 10/10.

I sought the help of Adriana Biernat a Registered Physiotherapist, and Acupuncture Provider at the Liberty Village Athlete's Sports Care Centre.
I have developed pain with my right knee, is the reason for seeking Adriana;s help.
The pain in my right knee was starting to severely effect my daily activities, which included a two hour walk.
With Adriana's help, and in only five visit's I am now back to my normal routine.
Thank you Adriana. Your fine help is very much appreciated.

Linda helped me rehabilitate both my ribs and my shoulder in the past 12 months. I really appreciate how she really got to the root of the issue and made adjustments based on my sport specific feedback.

Linda's professionalism, knowledge and ability to explain my injury/treatment in simple to understand terms really helped me get back on track with my weightlifting training. Everyone at this location is also super friendly and the facility is top notch.

Have been working with Linda for a while and my knee / hip pain has definitely improved! She's wonderful to work with, is gentle and always gives great exercises to do at home. Highly recommend working with Linda!:)

I have had constant daily headaches for many years and saw Dr. Trevor for treatment. His assessment, recommendations, and treatment plan were very thorough. He took extensive time to go through my history in detail to identify contributing factors as part of his treatment plan. I have so far had 6 sessions and I am amazed with how much better I feel with regard to my headaches, upper back, and neck tension.
Dr. Trevor’s approach is very methodical and he isolated the contributing factors that have caused my long term chronic headaches. The combination of acupuncture and targeted exercise to strengthen weak muscles has resulted in significant progress towards my physical well-being. I appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and patience in addressing all of my questions at each of my sessions.
The physical space of this location has nice high ceilings and the treatment rooms are very clean and sterile, which I found reassuring after deciding to go back to a medical clinic during the virus concerns.
Alex and Victoria at the front desk are friendly, very efficient, and helpful in recommending the available services which would be beneficial for long term health. This clinic has a very caring and positive environment and I highly recommend it.

Linda Gomercic is a fantastic physiotherapist! Quickly assessed my shoulder/back issues and I saw results even in the first meeting!
Always friendly, compassionate and professional, I'd easily recommend her to anyone.

Akeela is hands down the most talented RMT I've ever received a treatment from. She listens, cares, and does an outstanding job. Would highly recommend her and this clinic to anyone!

I've been to my fair share of physiotherapists and I can honestly say that this group is one of the best I've been to. Professional, and most importantly experienced and knowledgeable. They have literally gotten me back onto my feet more than once. Definitely recommended.

I hurt my heel skiing a few weeks ago but thanks to the fantastic physio I received here from Adriana I had a very swift recovery. She was very thorough in her assessment and really took the time to explore multiple treatment methods from massage to acupuncture and strengthening exercises. Highly recommended!

This facility was clean, efficient, and had amazing staff. Brian was hands down the best physio-therapist I’ve ever used in my life - couldn’t recommend any other place in Toronto above this location!

I’ve relied on Athelete’s Care twice in the past and I can’t recommend them enough. I had 10 years of back pain that I thought I just had to live with but after 4 physio and massage sessions plus acupuncture I have been back pain free for the last 3 years. I recently sprained my ankle and after 3 sessions with Linda my range of motion is almost completely restored and the pain is virtually gone. Linda is absolutely fabulous in both her abilities and her caring for her clients. The front desk team is outstanding and went above and beyond when I was in a difficult situation this year. I highly recommend Athlete’s Care!

I had tendonitis in my foot a few years back and the last couple of months I noticed the pain started to trickle into my lower back. Came here for physio with Linda and after 2 sessions she was able to completely remove the pain and provide me with activities to do at home to help train my back into proper position. Cannot recommend her and the team at Athletes Care enough!

I've been coming here for about a month now and have nothing but positive things to say. I messed up my lower back pretty badly (but have always had back pain to be honest) and my doctor recommended I try this place. From my very first appointment the team has been amazing (even when I was a total B filling out my paper work because I was in so much pain).

I want to shout out Adriana B! She has been incredible and in a matter for 3 short weeks relieved me from all my back pain (some pain I've had for years). She taught me basics like how to get out of bed and sit down properly. And she healed me with massage, stretching, strengthening and acupuncture. I'm working on exercises at home too and can't tell you how much of a difference it has made in my life. Thank you so much! I would recommend anyone living with pain to come check this place out and ask for Adriana.

Linda is amazing. She communicates with your body, and releases the tension buildup. My sessions with her are very helpful, and I feel like she utilizes all the time very well. I feel like I am in her care up to the last second of session.
I feel like she understands the underlying causes of my pain, and is very thorough with her plan of care.

For over 6 years, both myself and my wife have been well looked after by Adriana Biernat, 1 of THEEE best Physiotherapists in Toronto. Honest. Efficient. On time and truly cares about our well being. Highly recommend paying a visit. Well worth the investment. Plus, Adriana's just good "peeps"

My partner and I have been seeing our physiotherapist Linda for several months now, to fix persistent injuries. Linda uses a unique treatment plan that addresses the root issues of the pain, and we can't thank her more for getting us back into regular exercise. I went from unable to walk on an elliptical to challenging hikes in the Alps under her guidance and techniques. She knows when to push and encourage development and when to work on recovering from acute injury.

I would recommend Linda at the King West location to anyone who wants to heal their issues, and not just treat the site of the pain!

Last note would be a huge shout out to the administrative staff at the location. They work to schedule my partner and I back to back, they are prompt with any changes and they incredibly kind and professional. Overall it adds that human touch to the health care system.

Amazing front desk service, and extremely knowledgeable Physiotherapist. I went into Athlete's Care to have a right leg tendonitis treated. Adriana worked with me on a 4 week plan which included strengthening exercises and regular acupuncture and massage therapy and I was back to running in that time. Alex was a wonderful first step in being introduced to Adriana and made booking subsequent visits very easy. I not only highly recommend this location if you live or work nearby, but if you are an active patient seeking proper treatment to getting back into physical exercise routine.

A note to the team who worked with me. I went for my first run once we gave me the green light, and I felt great! I will keep easing back into it, but I am thrilled with the progress we made.

Thank you!

Both the front desk staff and therapists at this location are very professional and amazing at what they do. Would recommend this clinic to anyone!

Great and friendly staff. Place is clean and sanitary. I've been seeing Linda (physio), she's awesome! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

I am a patient of Mikaela's and I have had issues with my right bicep (tendonitis) for many months. During my first initial treatment, Mikaela took the time assessing my right bicep through a series of arm movements and asking me a series of questions. After her assessment, she had prescribed me a treatment and it made such a difference. The acute pain that I've experienced for so many months was so much better that through several treatments, I can actually move my right bicep! Mikaela is a true professional and highly regarded!

I hurt my back in an accident and my first experience with a Physio place turned me off Physio completely! Then with my knee pain my doctor referred me for Physio and encouraged me to try manual therapy so I thought I should try it. I had nothing to loose. I met linda and through working with linda I discovered the true benefits of Physio (manual therapy). Linda is knowledgeable, caring and has the ability to truly personalize care. Linda is non-judgemental and creates an environment where clients can honestly share their concerns related to any exercises suggested to facilitate realistic goal setting. Linda is encouraging and truly cares! Even with time constraints and multiple clients linda was always able to be fully present and leave me feeling great! It is clear that linda is passionate and effective at what she does. Thank you linda fo opening the Physio world to me!

Linda is wonderful and has really helped me with some knee issues I'd been experiencing. I went in not knowing what to expect as it was my first experience with physiotherapy, and I was pleasantly surprised by how helpful it has been.

The service is brilliant overall, with great communication and clarity.

I'll continue to go, as I feel like there is real progress each time I go.

Super friendly and talented team working here, they've healed me several times over in the years I've been going here. They also charge your benefits first and you pay the balance, which is super convenient

Would never go back. I saw a Chiro for lower back pain from a weightlifting injury. After a light assessment, she put on electro-acupuncture to the area- basically. I had never even been to a chiro before let alone had this done without basically any assessment. I went 2x and realized my pain was getting much worse. After 6 months of worsening pain had to see a Osteopath to fix the damage. The issue was made far far worse and cost me so much more then it ever should have.

This is my favourite clinic. Alex at the front desk is fabulous - always friendly and helpful, with great attention to detail.

Dr. Trevor Vander Doelen is the best sports care practitioner I have ever had. Trevor has taken the time to understand the demands of my sport, which is why his treatments are so effective. He really cares about what he does, and is incredibly knowledgeable. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Front desk staff is friendly and great. Alex helped me set up with Dr. Buchli-Kelly initially. She has been great at treating me! I walk away feeling much better with each appt. Overall an amazing experience at Athlete’s Care Liberty Village!

I have been going to Athlete's Care for a few years now, and I see Adriana. She is the BEST! Very through assessment with tailored treatments. Exercises demonstrated for me to conduct on my own at home, to help me get stronger. She is also friendly and super lovely to work with.
Alex is amazing on the front desk- friendly and efficient. All in all a great facility.

I'm very active and come across numerous injuries and have had alot of experience with different physios. Brian at Athletes Care is one of the best physio therapists I've come across. Don't expect useless machines and gimmicks here. He goes straight hands on and takes his work seriously. Benefits are usually felt immediately. I've referred people to him and all have had positive reactions.
