Receiving a call from the Full Circle Clinic felt like winning the lottery. I am deeply grateful to Dr Smardon for the prompt referral, and to Dr Nina Maerkl and her team, including MOA Mel, for their kindness, professionalism, and support throughout the process. Dr Maerkl made me feel heard truly, for the first time, I felt a doctor fully understood my pain. She took the time to answer my questions and explained everything clearly, often using simple visual diagrams. From my first appointment through to major surgery at VGH... read more

I had an abdominal laparoscopic surgery done by Dr. Maerkl. She had great bedside care and offered to hold my hand while they put me under general anesthesia 🥹. My healing has been very smooth. She’s the first Doctor to provide me with reproductive healthcare that was free of judgement. I am very fortunate she was the doctor I was referred to!

From the very beginning, the team showed such deep empathy and unwavering support. They were kind, calm, and fully present—always available to meet our needs, no matter how big or small. Even when we were in Vancouver, they helped coordinate our care, though we would often ferry back because of the trust and confidence we felt in them... read more

I'm not one to write a negative review but this one needs to be read and received by women who are looking to get care from Full Circle. I have had the worst experience dealing with the midwives at Full Circle. Very early in my pregnancy I was bleeding heavily and I reached out to the midwives at FC (who promised care as an early pregnancy patient since I had been through another miscarriage). I had to wait three days to indefinitely to get a response from them. I would call/ text and email and go for days not hearing from t... read more
