Has anyone else been told to avoid WNR/Sure Care for ultrasounds?

6 Upvotes

Has anyone else been advised by their doctor/midwife not to use Sure Care Diagnostics (formerly WNR) for ultrasounds?

I’m currently pregnant and trying to book my NT ultrasound in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. I’ve called several places and am having a really hard time finding availability.

During my last pregnancy, my doctor specifically told me that WNR (which I believe is now Sure Care Diagnostics) should be more of a “last resort” for ultrasounds. She mentioned something about having concerns with the quality/accuracy of their reports and said she had received reports from them that weren’t very good.

At the time I just took her word for it and went elsewhere, so I never really questioned it. Now I’m struggling to find an NT appointment and Sure Care actually has availability, so I’m wondering if this is still a concern.

Has anyone else heard this from their doctor/midwife? Or have you personally had a good or bad experience with Sure Care/WNR, particularly with pregnancy ultrasounds or NT scans?

I’m not looking for general complaints about wait times or bedside manner — I’m specifically wondering about the quality/accuracy of the ultrasound and radiologist report. Thanks!

Looking for a good tint shop in Kitchener-Waterloo

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to get my car windows tinted and would love some recommendations for a reliable tint shop in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

Main things I’m looking for:

\- Good quality ceramic tint

\- Clean/professional installation

\- Reasonable pricing

\- Ideally somewhere you’ve personally used

If you’ve had your windows tinted locally, who would you recommend and roughly how much did you pay?

Thanks in advance!

Does having a good real estate agent matter for leasing a property?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a house in the Laurelwood area?

It’s a 70 zone right? I’m not crazy? The signs say 70 when passing through the Victoria/Frederick part of the highway. Everyone driving through there goes at least 100, many people go 110 or 120, even though this is considered stunt driving (40km/h above limit, up to a year license suspension).

How come people are oblivious to the 70kmh speed limit here. It seems unsafe for the construction workers and even for the structure being made at Frederick.
