Doug Freer is always there to help... great clinic!

Danni Hupka

Great work! Came in a few times to deal with some concerning back pain related to my job. After a few adjustments and exercises my back feels much more supported and the pain is gone!

Aida McAleer

It's dark no windows. It's kind of dreary. I feel sorry for the staff.

Debbie Klemm

Very caring and professional - right from the ladies in the front office to all the therapists, even the ones who don't work with you personally. Would highly recommend this practice.

Excellent service and care! I have been undergoing treatment from Carlie Creed for my entire post ACL surgery rehabilitation.The progression of my strength and flexibility has been tremendous throughout this process and a large portion of that is do to the professional service that is provided. I would strongly recommend Freer physical therapy for any athletes looking for exceptional advice and treatment.

Went in and saw Carlie for back pains, walked out with no pian at all and the front desk was very welcoming

Travis MacIver

I saw Carlie Creed for my disc herniation and saw a great improvement. Would recommend her to anyone.

Renee was very professional, empathetic and compassionate throughout treatment. She worked hard to build a personal relationship while challenging me to push myself and improve my health. I would highly recommend their services.

Great place! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Dan Raymond

I am waiting to get back to the clinic as time restraints haven't given me the opportunity, but it is something that I surely miss. Between Sandy and Carly I had a myriad of treatments ranging from recovery of a dislocated shoulder to therapy on a severe ankle sprain. Not only were all parties extremely knowledgeable, but I can confidently say that it was an extreme social pleasure every time I visited. Further to this, there was also a young lady at reception who was an absolute gem, however she has gone back to school. Cant wait to be back!

Front end staff are always courteous and polite. Facilities are top notch. I’ve been seeing Carlie Creed for physio work and she is an excellent therapist that really takes the time to explain the process and look after her athletes.

I have been coming to Doug Freer & Associates for many, many years for massage and physiotherapy. I have never had a bad experience or been disappointment with the service and the staff that have taken care of me. The frontline staff are very welcoming and friendly and they always seem to accommodate the date and time that I need, without a long wait time. Most recently, I have been seeing Ashish Patel for my shoulder and back pain and I must say, he is the most friendliest, generous and professional individual that I have ever had the pleasure working with. He takes the time to explain the exercises given, I never feel rushed at the appointments, he gives me the time to ask questions and allows me address any concerns I may have. I believe that he has helped me physically, but also emotionally, as he is really good with explaining self-care and mental health, as they are also important for body healing. Thank you so much! I would and have highly recommended Doug Freer & associates to my friends and family.

Meaghan White

I can't say enough amazing things about this clinic. I came to this clinic to recover from a major injury, so I was going 3 times a week for about 3/4 months. In that time I never had a bad or disappointing experience. Marilyn the physiotherapist is excellent, very attentive and informative, making sure you understand what the process for recovery is as well as making sure your informed about why things are done a certain way and how to improve current practices in everyday life and she genuinely cares about your recovery. Renee the occupational therapist is also amazing to interact with, encouraging and supportive and whenever she didn't know the answer to my questions she would always find it immediately. She also seems to have a personal interest in making sure her clients can succeed outside of the office. Even the lovely ladies at the front always very friendly, a couple of them noticed changes I had made and went out of their way to encourage my progress, that tells me they notice how a client is progressing and/or increasing abilities even when they don't have direct contact to the progress plans being set out. It really is an amazing feeling to know that so many people are there to help encourage you and genuinely want to see you progress both in and outside of their office. Thank you!

Terry Everitt

A fantastic clinic. Organized, concise, and friendly. Carlie does a fantastic job keeping myself and other athletes ready to play each week. Her attention to detail and genuine client/patient care is second to none. Thank you for all that you do Carlie and the Freer Clinic.

I haven't been to Doug Freer & Associates for two years, but having just come back I notice it is 'dull'... I had been a patient on and off since 2009 and it was always busy there, people very friendly, a good supply of aids to purchase if required, the television was a good flat screen showing CP24 to keep us up-to-date on the news, and at Christmas it was always decorated so very nice, and calendars (small desk size) were always available to people to 'help themselves'. Now there are no decorations at all, an old television with a sitcom playing, it is not busy at all, and people just seem so bored and dull... It is not an inviting atmosphere, and even all the staff has pretty well changed. Not sure what is going on, but it is like a 'no frills'. But I do like my physiotherapist and will continue going, but whatever is going on in the running of the office, not a very nice place to be!

mike Dowzer

I like to thank Simran , Michelle and Amber for helping me out . They were very professional at there job . They made me feel comfortable talking to them . I walked in using a cane . Now I am not using it any more ☺️

Susan Bolton

Excellent therapists, knowledgeable & caring. Doug’s treatments enabled my daughter to make it through basketball season. He’s also helping me cure cronic pain.Highly reccomend this clinic.

Candice B

I’ve seen Sandy (physio) many times and would highly recommend her. Not only is she professional, knowledgeable and effective, she’s simply a kind person.

Bryant LeRoux

Exceptional!! If you asked me to sum up the Staff and My Experience in One Word, that's what I'd say!! I'm recovering from a Concussion, Back, Hip & Neck Injury so I was being seen and helped by multiple people for the last year. From Shannon who is my OT, I can not say enough good things about her...her support, her kindness, and her guidance has kept me going and has played a huge part in my recovery. Monica, my Physiotherapist, who recognized my issues and developed a treatment plan for all 4 of my injuries that allowed me to improve at a pace that worked for me, but pushed me as well. Michelle worked wonders for me in the gym, developing an exercise program that allowed me to improve at a pace that my injuries allowed. Even the Ladies at the front Reception desk were always pleasant and greeted me by name and with a friendly smile.

Shawna Applebaum

This clinic has saved my life! I started feb. 1st, 2018 I had suffered from chronic vertigo for over 5 months at the time. I was beyond desperate at this point. Sandy Vandyke is my physiotherapist she specializes in vestibular therapy. She has helped me get from couch bound to now I can go the grocery store, Costco, the mall. She designed a program that specifically suits my needs! It has been over a month I am now 40 percent better! I am so happy with this place:) The front end staff are so nice and helpful! sincerely, Jennifer Durocher

Tammy Parish

just want to write a review about Dr.. Freer and Associated. I have been going to both massage and physio therapy for over a year now.. I do not have words as to how Kim Arts has taken care of my medical needs. She is not only professional...She is kind and understanding. Without her care, I would not be in the place I am. Sandy was my physio therapist and I would have loved to continue with her, unfortunately, there is just no funding for it to contiune. Kim and Sandy have made this horrible life I live...Just a bit better and tolerable I love the staff too..Laura and her team are always helpful and kind. I appreciate the family at Dr Freer and Associated. Not enough words could describe just how I feel. My life would not be the same without them.

Michaelle James

Excellent care.

Sandra Caton

I had a knee problem while visiting family in Barrie. The clinic was amazing. They looked after me very quickly and were just great and so accommodating. I left feeling better and with exercises to help my problem. Thank you, you made my stay in Barrie so much easier.

Lisa Gauthier

I have been attending the clinic for 1 year receiving Occupational Therapy for a severe brain injury.. From the ladies in the administration area to my therapist I have experienced nothing but professionalism, knowledge, kindness and courtesy. My therapist Shannon is beyond fantastic. Her knowledge, ingenuity, innovatiion and compassion has been instrumental in my recovery.

Gail Sheridan

I went to the clinic for hip and knee therapy and was treated by Marilyn, the physiotherapist and Carlie, the massage therapist. Both ladies helped me immensely and provided a friendly and knowledgeable care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Freer Clinic as the experience started at the friendly and welcoming staff at the reception desk.

Chris and Ron Creber

I have nothing but good things to say about the care provided by Sandy Van Dyk, physiotherapist. She does exceptional work for TMJ and sciatic issues.

Patricia July Abbott

Because they're helping me after my car accidents.

Blair Bowers

Simran Farwah did a wonderful job of rehabilitating my injured shoulder. She explained everything very well from what the injury actually was to how we'd go about repairing it. The sessions were all very productive with new exercises introduced on a regular basis. Simran is very personable and I'd trust her with any injury needing the care of a physiotherapist.

Kristyl Priest

I had issues with 2 slipped discs, bulging discs, mild arthritis and fibromyalgia. I originally went to another physiotherapist for 6 months prior to my MRI results and she wouldn’t listen when I told her it wasn’t fibromyalgia related for this issue I was having. I was referred to Doug Freer and Associates. My LTD coverage was for 6 weeks and with the amazing, skilled staff, my pain level went from 7-10 to 1-2. With my exercises I continued to do at home, I felt like a whole new person. They listen to your concerns, are very attentive and very friendly. You won’t regret receiving treatment from this establishment!! They did more for me in 6 weeks than my last one did for me in 6 months!! Highly recommend!!

D-rock Spence

I can't say enough good things about the staff that works at Freer Physio and Massage. I have been there for 2 separate injuries. One for my shoulder as well as my ankle. From start to finish both Doug and Carlie resolved both of my issues and got me back playing rugby much sooner than I would have ever imagined. Doug was bang on with both of his assessments which made treatment all that much easier. Carlie was very thorough and professional during every appointment to make sure my needs were met and progress was made. I recommend this clinic to anyone and everyone that plays a sport and may need some rehabilitation at some point or another. Thanks again

tom george

First met Doug many years ago for back physio. He and/or staff have assisted with shoulders, knee surgery after-care and ankle concerns. This past year, Doug assisted with long term ankle problem and eventual referral for ankle/foot fusion. Recent shoulder replacement requires phsio for ensuring range of mobility with Marylin. For these past decades, Doug and staff have been professional in their work and helpful in every way to ensure the best possible results for dealing with my initial pain and eventual successful rehab.

Jenn Polley

Helpful and friendly front desk staff, Marilyn is a fabulous Physio!

Romaine Miller

I was successfully treated at this clinic by Monica Caton for right S.I. Joint locking/dysfunction/hip impingement. She is a consummate professional and performed a thorough assessment; identified the problem and explained the mechanics of how this had developed. She ‘unlocked’ the joint and almost immediately relieved the pain. Prior to this I had spent nearly 4 weeks in continual pain (sciatica/piriformis-like). Her knowledge of physiology and its mechanics was encyclopedic. She was able to diagnose a condition I have suffered intermittently from for many years. I have received a slate of core strengthening exercises which should prevent this from happening again. I am grateful beyond words for her skillful treatment. I cannot recommend Monica highly enough!

Calla Ravins

Very efficient. My therapist is just wonderful and knowledgeable. Excellent place.

Bonnie Forgrave

Shannon Bottrell

Great experience at D. Freer and Associates! The therapists are incredibly knowledgable, professional and compassionate. I have been seeing Sandy van Dyke and Carlie Creed for on and off neck pain that I have been experiencing. She has done manual therapy and craniosacral therapy. She has subsequently provided me with many postural recommendations that have contributed to my neck relief. The administrative staff are also very friendly and welcoming. Overall, I have had an amazing experience at this clinic and will continue to refer my family and friends here.

Carolyn Hannesen-Chalmers

Lifemark's Doug Freer & Associates' Physiotherapist/Clinical Director Monica, and Athletic Therapist Michelle, put together a fantastic, effective, life-changing physio program for me and my post-Covid 19 symptoms. The thorough, understandable, assistive acupuncture, ultrasound, vestibular and physiotherapy therapies got me back on my feet, preparing me for my return to work and lifestyle. I can't say enough about the pros at Lifemark from the front staff on. Very personable, attentive and professional. I'm definitely going to miss their services!
