Banff Alpine Medical Clinic

Dr. Fowke is fantastic. Very informative and pleasant to talk to. The front desk staff are extremely accommodating, helpful, and friendly. One of the best clinics I've ever been to.

Had to go there a couple of weeks ago because I had a stomach bug and I needed a doctors note. Waited there for about one and a half hours (didn't have an appointment of course), concentrating on not to throw up. When I finally saw the doctor, I started explaining my issues, like I usually do it when I see a doctor. After a while she was interrupting me, asking me "so what do you need?" When I told her that I'm here for a doctor's note, she reacted quite annoyed, asking why I didn't mention that in the beginning, like I was stealing her time. I mean I don't want the doctor to act like my mum and care for me like I'm a little baby, but after I waited that long to see her it was very disappointing that she wasn't interested in what I was telling her in any way. Seemed like she was rather blaming me for being hungover, just getting a doctor's note so I don't have to work.
At least she didn't charge me the full price of 250$ to see her, just a 100 bugs and 20 for the note.
But still, this place doesn't offer a good service. The doctor seemed like she wanted to get rid of everybody. Of course it was a busy day, but it is her job to deal with it and she didn't do it in a good way at all.

Doctor MacDonald was amazing and when my family doctor is unavailable I feel so comfortable being around him and you can tell he cares about his patients.

Also the lovely receptionist I believe here name was Monica H. Was so lovely and was a great face to deal with when you aren't feeling well. She is a great asset to this place and would come back to have her again.

I was seen promptly. Being from US I did need to pay upfront and seek insurance reimbursement on my own but I expected that. A busy clinic with competent doctors and staff.

Words cannot express how thankful I found dr fowke to be my doctor. Throughout my first pregnancy she was amazing and I felt truly lucky to have found such amazing doctor. Leading up to my due date she checked me daily towards the end and she always ensured I knew how to get a hold of her via phone. As we know in the bow valley cell phone coverage isn't always the best so she even told me what restaurant she was dining at one evening to ensure I could reach her if need be.When the time came she reassured me throughout the whole birthing process and truly made it an experience I will cherish and never forget. My second pregnancy was a little rocky as my baby had a heart condition found on ultrasound so I was seeing multiple clinics and doctors and dr fowke was my rock throughout - she helped me keep all the pieces together and kept up with my check ups and I knew I could always call her if needed. My second also decided to come six weeks early ( via emergency c section) and as soon as dr fowke received my delivery report she called me to see how I was going and she continued to check in on us even stopping by the NICU in Calgary to meet our newest arrival.

She truly goes above and beyond for her patients on multiple occasions. I couldn't ask for any better care for myself and my girls as the service she delivers is something I never imagine we would receive.

Don't know why this place has bad reviews. Doctor MacDonald was really nice & a great doctor - I read the reviews and was a little concerned but it was absolutely fine

American style health care in the heart of Banff the dr told me if I had any questions regarding my medication to call or come in. Well I made the mistake of calling this morning was told by receptionist that it was a 100$ to talk to the dr over the phone. Which had to be paid first. Never again . If you like to be treated like a patient and not a customer head over to the hospital or anywhere but here.

I have been a patient of Alpine Medical for several years. Yes- I have had time that I have had to wait despite having an appointment , but i understand the same courtesy has been extended to myself and my family. The physicians are straight forward and thorough.

Excellent! I've lived in Banff for a few years now, and thankfully Alpine clinic is efficient and there knowledge seems to know no bounds. Taking there time to always explain in detail what they feel is going on, or even just the way they listen and care. Keep being awesome!
