CBI Health - Chinook

I experienced a severe concussion and whiplash in the field. I came from Red Deer to CBI and was running 15 minutes late due to lack of experience of driving in Calgary. The receptionist Danielle was amazing and made sure I was able to get the care I needed today. Dr Carrey was absolutely amazing coming up with solutions to reduce my intense pain and poor quality sleep while reducing my prescription medications. She was also able to give insight on how to have better lifestyle habits. Thank you so much CBI health for the excellent care I have received!

The only reason I am giving one star is because it won't let me write a review with no stars. CBI claims to have a very high success rate with helping people with concussions. Having finally (4 months later) received my discharge papers I finally know why. According to my doctor, and other health care professionals CBI made my concussion symptoms last far longer and made them far worse than they should have ever been. They also failed to report many of my symptoms to other health care professionals and WCB to ensure their program still had its success rate. I had to teach 2 physios there how to properly traction a neck, as well as the pressure points needed to aid a headache, and these are supposedly concussion specialists. If you value your brain health, you will avoid them completely. Find somewhere else, find anywhere else, or do it yourself, and you will see better and safer results. The only good thing I can say about them is the receptionist staff are lovely, and do their best to help when they can.

I attended this program after having 3 concussions and experiencing quite severe brain injury symptoms. I tried this program for 3 weeks and left MUCH worse than I came. To start with the positive, everyone I met here was pleasant and kind. I don't think anyone working here means any harm. However, this program as a whole is far too intense. Nothing in this program is catered to people experiencing brain injuries. From the florescent overhead lights, to the radio constantly playing, all the way down to the actual tasks they have you doing, it is a concussed persons nightmare. The worst portion was a daily computer test that took nearly an hour. I would leave this dazed, confused, and in pain. At home I was hardly using even my phone as it would bring on symptoms. I can see this program being helpful if you are 95% healed and just need that final push to get back to work, but as for myself that was definitely not the case. I would not recommend this program.

Today was my mental and physical assessments, so my first time at the clinic. I came here from Edmonton and will be moving here for the entirety of my program. Every single person I came into contact with was absolutely amazing. What a positive and helpful group of people! Can’t wait to start my journey to healing here!

Awesome staff, very knowledgeable, caring, and driven. My rehab therapy program was custom built to allow me to return to the type of job I do. I always feel welcome and appreciated every day I come for therapy. Thank you to my team members at CBI.

The team at this CBI. Brain Injury program are truly amazing. The professional support and help has been tremendous for me. The individualized program has helped me heal so I'm ready and able to return to my life and work. I have a great respect for the people and the program. I am fortunate that I have had this opportunity and experience.
