Lifemark Physiotherapy Leslie & Sheppard

I joined this clinic after my total knee replacement surgery.
Gus was guiding my recuperation. I cannot thank Gus enough for his compassion and expertise!
He was extremely supportive and his very pleasant personality along with vast knowledge and professionalism was making all the difference during difficult recovering time.
I strongly recommend this clinic. The entire team works hard to accommodate patients needs.
Strongly recommend Gus and Lifemark Leslie clinic.

Gus has been an amazing physiotherapist and I felt the difference in my shoulder that it’s getting better. He also so kind, friendly & funny. He makes the atmosphere so nice. His work is very professional and on the spot. I would highly recommend him to any of my family and friends. Thanks Gus

The 5 star goes to Uma Ghosh, she is very knowledgeable and compassionate. She genuinely cares for her clients. I have seen many many therapists in my profession as an athlete and a fitness coach, Uma hands down has been among the best!
Highly recommend

Excellent facility, Marius is a great guy, work with his hands. Felt like a million dollars after each visit.
Thank you Marius!

For several years I am benefitting from the physiotherapy sessions at Lifemark with Marius Diculescu.
Marius has a wonderful personality that is combined with his high professionalism and skills.
He tailored my treatment for lower back pain in such a way that I have now reduced pain and improved mobility.
I cannot be more grateful.
Thank you Marius!

Marius is my physioterapist and I am very fortunate to have him for my treatment for my shoulder and elbow pain. He's a true and a compassionate professional. I truly recommend him to anyone who needs physiotherapy treatment. Thank you Marius!

Best physiotherapist I ever had. Marius fixed my joints after the surgeries with much success, beyond my and surgeon expectations. I will recommending everyone to go see Marius for any musculoskeletal issues.

Marius is a wonderful and skilled physiotherapist. He helped me get rid of an Achilles tendon pain that has been nagging me for a good few years. I warmly recommend him to anyone with runners’ issues, and not only those.

I broke my arm on January 8,2023 and it required a plate to hold the bone together. My physiotherapy would have ideally started the next week but it was delayed until the last week of January due to complications caused by my blood thinners. The surgeon felt I would need a brace to get my arm back to 95%.
I started full time, twice a week, at the beginning of February on an aggressive treatment as ordered by Doctor Mayne. Hamed, after reviewing the X-Rays, started to work on the elbow and the muscles. I have surpassed the surgeons expectations. Hamed continues to expertly work the muscles to allow me full extension. I have full flex and the according to the surgeon I have attained the expected extension, without the brace. Hamed’s knowledge of his art. To me it is an art because each case will be different and the therapist needs to be able to adjust with each patient. There have been landmarks throughout, but having my arm flat on the training table more than once and for an extended period today was more than I could have hoped for four months ago. Hamed has been excellent from the start;, but he is not the only one. Without exception, everyone from the front desk to ultrasound technicians and to other physiotherapists such as Gus and Elizabeth have been exceptional in their treatment of me, professional, courteous and very friendly. I highly recommend this location to anyone requiring physiotherapy, you will get the best of care with the best possible results.

Elizabeth E was excellent. She took the time to do a full assessment and always began each session with questions about how I was doing and what we might need to do to change direction to help any new problems. The front desk staff were very helpful too!

Shireen, our massage therapist, is amazing. She takes her time and works magic with her hands. Her level of care and kindness is greatly appreciated!

Elizabeth, our physiotherapist, is patient, knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. She performs each appointment with lots of care and she’s very invested in helping people improve their condition.

I had an amazing experience!
Both Hamad and Gus were professional and personable!
Gus taught me exercises I could use to strengthen and improve my flexibility & that I can continue to use going forward.
Gus was friendly, caring, helpful, funny, encouraging and above all, the video's he shared after my visits enabled me to do the exercises correctly to achieve maximum benefit.
This was my "second" shoulder replacement rehab,
An enjoyable experience compared to my first which lacked much of the above.
With gratitude, I am now pain free.

Elizabeth F is thee BEST! I couldn't have gotten where I am at without her. She truly cares about getting her clients better. Wouldn't go to anyone else for concussion therapy.

Every time I visit I get positive results. Awesome massage wonderful physiotherapist. Listed on my phone under "pain relief".

Uma Ghosh was my physiotherapist and she was excellent. Very knowledgeable, patient, understanding warm and friendly. She explained everything and answered all my questions. My problem areas subsided considerably and I have more confidence in my ability to fully heal and recover with the the techniques she has showed me.

Visited Lifemark for the first time for my scheduled evaluation with Marius for sciatic pain.

Marius was professional, personable, and very empathetic towards my situation. He understood right away what my problem was, even though I was completely off track by diagnosing myself.

The exercises Marius gave me have already alleviated a few of my symptoms. I would definitely recommend Marius and Lifemark to my friends and family.

I would like to recommend everyone to use the service of the Lifemark Physiotherapy Leslie & Sheppard. Big thank you to Hamed & Kostantinos (Gus) for helping my mom after her knee surgery. Very professional and friendly staff.

I had my final release session this morning. What an amazing place this is and I am referring to the Lifemark Leslie and Finch location. A little about my issue: I had to have my hip replaced end of November with a titanium component. This place was recommended to me as one of several options. I had OHIP coverage for 6 weekly sessions I believe. While I am not perfect with some healing left to do on my own, I feel substantial improvement. I am not really using my cane anymore. I came in a few weeks after my y surgery and met with Marius for induction and he passed me over to Gus for weekly physio and then today I’ve met with Marius again for a final assessment. Happy to report I am healing well and got my completion diploma. Both, Marius and Gus are amazing at their work. They’re both very warm people. When Gus first started working with me I was cursing quite a bit but it didn’t even phase this guy. He just kept helping me and emailing my weekly exercises. To sum it up I am so grateful for this healing experience. This place is very clean, airy, professional and friendly. Thank you Marius and Gus for everything. I highly recommend this place for post operation physio for knee and hip replacements and whatever else they do there.

I was a patient at Lifemark Physiotherapy with Peter Wu.
He is an excellent Physiotherapist that is highly skilled.
I highly recommend him and the staff at this clinic.

My name is Seetha Perumal and I just finished my six weeks of physio sessions at Lifemark at sheppard and Leslie and I would like to say that I am so pleased with my physio at Lifemark. The staff was very supportive, caring and good teachers especially Peter, Gus and Jasper. Gus was my main therapist. He is a very nice person, a good teacher, supportive and made me feel comfortable during the sessions. I wish you had more therapists like him. I would highly recommend 100% this physio center to anyone looking for a physiotherapist. I wish you all a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Seetha.

Gus Brouzas led me through an exercise program after my total knee replacement surgery. He was good to work with because he explained the exercises well, and helped me to do them properly. More important, though, was his supportive behaviour: he praises effort and thereby encourages greater effort. I was happy to try to do better. I am very pleased with the results.

I have been seeing Physiotherapist, Peter Wu, for over five months for my back injury. Peter is an outstanding physiotherapist, mainly due to his professionalism, depth of knowledge and ability to communicate conditions and treatments in easy to understand language. He is extremely patient, calm and empathetic. I trust his judgement implicitly. I believe that a great deal of his success comes from his constant appraisal of treatment and exercise that allow him to optimize and individualize treatment for the specific condition. His mind is constantly working and evaluating. Too often physios set the same strategy and only reappraise after five or so visits. Thanks to Peter's treatment and guided home program, my quality of life has improved 100% and I no longer need to take pain killers. I am very grateful to Peter and also the entire Lifemark team for their tireless assistance and unfailing care and concern.

I was scheduled to receive physiotherapy at Lifemark instead of the hospital knee class. Due to the pandemic restrictions, the hospital classes were cancelled. The staff are very professional and pushed me to obtain optimal results post total knee replacement. I received a thorough and challenging treatment regime.

I liked that my therapist emailed me the exercises so I could do them at home. I also appreciated the re email reminder of appointments. I also like that the covid screening was sent by email and could be done online.

I would return to this location if I require physiotherapy services in the future.

Very nice clinic and friendly staff.
I've seen Marius for more then 10 years for both physio and massage therapy and with each visit my appreciation for his skills, knowledge and care have only increased.
Many thanks to all!

Very knowledgeable staff who took the time to listen to me and explain with care and detail exactly what was wrong with my back, and provided sustainable advice so I can continue my recovery outside the clinic. I recommend Lifemark to all my friends and family in pain

Excellent experience everytime I have attended this clinic for my sports chronic injuries. I wouuld recomend this facility.

I’ve been struck by a car while on my bike about a year ago, being diagnosed with fracture and from Sept 2018 Marius, Uma, Marissa and Gus took a very good care of me. I’m an active person now and expect completely heal soon.
I’m very satisfied with the treatment that Marius offered and I consider him one of the most trusting, knowledgeable, professional, friendly and empathetic physiotherapist.
I was really impressed with Uma’s knowledge and professional behavior. Marissa always provided a great massage and gave professional advises for stretching and Gas has been making me feel relaxed all the time during the treatment.
I highly recommended this clinic.

I'd like to give a big shout out to Marius Diculescu who helped my husband and I after our car accident. Very knowledgeable, professional, caring person. Thank you, Marius!

Amazing service, the people at Lifemark always make me feel welcome and have been super helpful with my injuries and recovery.

Elizabeth was very professional and provided effective care and exercises for a lower back and leg issue I was experiencing. Everyone at the clinic was supportive and eager to help. Would recommend to friends in a heart beat.

Gus was great. He helped increase my endurance. He also helped me learn how to walk again. His instructions were easy. His e encouraging attitude really helped me.

I have been receiving Physiotherapy and Massage Therapy at Lifemark (Leslie & Sheppard) since early May this year after my 4th MVA. The staff are very friendly and helpful. In particular, I find my therapist, Mr. Hamed Pardehshenas, very caring, knowledgeable and professional. He uses various approaches to ease my pain and teaching me doing exercises to restore the strength in the affect areas. As well, both Ms. Nooshin and Kelly, my Massage Therapists are also caring and professional. I am glad that I was referred to this Physio Clinic. As a whole, I rate this Clinic 4.5 Stars.

Professional services provided by my main physiotherapist Marius Diculescu, successfully backed up by Hamed Pardehshenas during Marius's vacation. The kinesiologists were also nice and carrying, the appointments were on time, reminders for appointments were conveniently sent via messages. Marius is very knowledgeable and open, describing not only the injury but explaining the cause of it as well. We have worked on healing the injury and also on eliminating the cause. The therapy was adjusted according to the progression of the healing. Thanks to the therapy, I am now injury free and more knowledgeable about my body.

I had plantar fasciitis when I came to the clinic. Peter Lu was extremely helpful in my recovery. He made a variety of suggestions on things to do and was also very friendly and pleasant during my appointments.

This place is great. If you want to know the short of it, then you should definitely come here.

The longer story is just as interesting.

The staff are super friendly and kind and the premises are clean and well maintained. The therapists are equally great as they listen and ask relevant questions to make sure you’re on track and getting better.

The location is pretty convenient as well which is nice.

Overall I’m really happy with the service here and I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a good clinic.

Esther is always at the front holding down the fort and she's super nice so if you get a chance to deal with her you'll be happy you did. Slava, who recently left was an amazing physiotherapist and I was pretty sad to see him go. But I wish him all the best in his new role. Kristi is one of the massage therapists here and she's very good at what she does. Combined with my physio, the massage therapy really helps to loosen right muscles and is very relaxing to boot. Lastly I've recently met Natasha who's (not surpsingly) just as awesome as the other staff. She works at your pace but also helps to identify areas of improvement, which is what physio is all about.

Also, Gus is the man. That guy is a straight up boss and if you see him you need to shake his hand. Don't ask why, just do it.

I attended this location after being hit by a car as a pedestrian. The schedules were accommodating with evening and weekend appointments. Slava worked with me over several months to help with mainly back and neck pain. I was able to improve on and manage my injuries to meet my goal from before the accident of running a 10km race. I also had several great experiences with Nooshin and Kelly for massage. I would definitely recommend this location. Everyone at the facility is welcoming and kind.

Best physiotherapy place to attend to get help to recover from injuries such as back.
Excellent staff, friendly and professional as well as excellent customer service skills.

My claims advisor referred me to Lifemark Therapy after my accident and I was very hesitant at first because it was something I've never experienced before, but Salva was extremely helpful and comforting throughout the entire process! He kept everything in consideration and had my best interest in mind at all times. There was never a time where I felt like I wasn't progressing because he was always there to reassure me! I definitely recommended Lifemark Therapy to anyone who is in need of Physio!

All the staff at Lifemark Physiotherapy Leslie & Sheppard are friendly and helpful and are committed to helping the patients to get back to the point where they can live their daily lives without pain. They care about their patients. The treatments include physiotherapy sessions and massages, (and a psychological trauma assessment/counselling on how to make the necessary adjustments to the way you work if you were injured during a car accident.) My physiotherapist was Viatcheslav Blokhin, my kinesiologist was Konstantinos Brouzas, my massage therapists were Nooshin Salahshour and Alan Diong, and my occupational therapist was Mallory Rotman. They were excellent and instrumental in helping me to recover from my back injury suffered from my car accident. I cannot thank them enough. I strongly recommend Lifemark Physiotherapy Leslie & Sheppard to other people to try!

Christian Francis - Re arthritis in the knees - Prompt attention, detailed physio with advice related to daily strengthening exercises

I was referred to Lifemark by my insurance company after an MVA and was extremely pleased with the staff at this location. I had physio with Slava twice a week for 2 months for back and leg pain and have made a full recovery. Slava was very patient, thorough and professional in his approach to my recovery and communicated very well what exercises I had to do at home to help me heal faster. A big thank you to Slava and Lifemark!

I had an accident about 3 months ago and I got neck and back pain.
Slava helped me a lot to overcome all the pains and he also helped me to make body stronger.
I really recommend Slava!

I had to have surgery on my shoulder post-dislocation. I came to lifemark to start my physio when my doctor cleared it. I started physio with Soroush Peyvandi and continued with Slava Blokhin. They both helped a lot in my recovery. They pushed me to get to my goals faster and now I'm back to full duties at my job.

Most enthusiastic and understanding physio I've ever met. Great place for those with chronic pain. Hamed at the clinic is a very positive and knowledgeable guy and does great dry needling and has been really amazing for combating my pain, and guided me through everything when I was in a lot of pain.

Very positive and helpful experience.
Staff very friendly, encouraging and patient. Efficient time management. Thank you Christian, Bradley and Gus.

I went to Lifemark after having a workplace injury on my shoulder and attended 1-2 sessions a week with their physio Slava. He was amazing! All of his exercises and tips/advice really helped me have a speedy recovery! Within just over a month my shoulder felt almost completely healed. I would strongly recommend him if you need to do any type of physio. He's very warm, welcoming and professional!

Marius Diculescu treated me for problem in the lumbar spine area and torn muscle around the hip. He treated me over 5 visits with good results. He is knowledgeable, experienced and effective. He listens carefully and explains things clearly. His associates are most courteous, and the front desk staff is efficient. First rate clinic.

I had a great physiotherapy experience with Slava. He helped me rehabilitate my shoulder. He was very good at listening to my feedback and suggesting things to help ensure my problem never recurs. Ample free parking in the lot.

I am writing this comment to protect the patients from that messy place.
I can not believe a place could be so non organized.
I went there after a car accident and really suffering of killing pain, after the initiating session I went there for the first session and the physiotherapist told me I am leaving here and you have to go other place or start with other one, I told her I didn't do anything even used the machine for a moment, so their first available time for massage was 24 days later. Can you believe? I couldn't walk and seat, what a messy place is? I told them I am not coming here and you didn't do anything for me.
After a month I got a letter from them and they charged me $210 for 30 minuted evaluation and for $105 for my session that I said, even she didn't plug in the machine.i called and left the message and explained what happen to me and asked them to talk to their manager. After 2 months I got a letter and they wanted to send me to collection service and they even got paid $200 from my insurance.
I asked them to use my wife's insurance and she sent the documents and called them and got confirmation but they called me again and threatened me.
Please just keep away from that lace to protect you and your family, I talked to my insurance and a family lawyer to complain against their non professional and un ethical manner in a court or any professional resolution.

I couldn't have asked for a better place to receive care post car accident! Experienced a very friendly and caring staff. Slava is excellent and clearly passionate about what he does. It is obvious that he cares about his clients and achieving the very best outcome. I also received amazing care from the RMT's there! I had most of my appointments with Nooshin who was absolutely phenomenal.
