t first I was not a fan, but as I got to know her, and learned how to approach and talk to her, she has been the best thing for me and my family. If we have an issue or concern, she addresses it very quickly. She does the research to find some answers to our more pressing concerns. There have been times where she has made room for us as short as 3 hours after I have called. I truly am happy she is the doctor for me and my family. I also think folks some times forget that what all doctors do is a thankless job, and it's non stop sickness, questions, and stress. I will never get upset at a doctor for being short with me.

WoW!! All the negative remarks,I have experienced every last 1 with her as well. From my child staying on peepee island with bowel issues, her rudeness, trying to humiliate u, getting angry as a mad dog when u try to correct her, her belittling me about things that have nothing to do with health issues, she passes off my health issues (1 I am dealing with now has been ongoing for a year & she wont refer me to a specialist) She doesn't agree with any other docs opinions, u are correct! I have also experienced her making me pay for things that she does not ask for from wealthier people like herself. She even snubbed my young daughter & I at a Xmas event last year. We said hello in passing, she looked at me stuck her nose in the air & kept on going with her better than every1 else family. This isn't ruining reputations whoever said that, it's personal experience. Obviously you are 1 of few she prefers to help!! Consider yourself LUCKY!!! The rest us may as well have no doctor at all!!

She made me feel as if I knew nothing about my medical issue. And that SPECIALISTS that have been helping were wrong and didn't know what they were talking about. She is a know it all, rude, thinks she is right about it all. She basically said that these other doctors didn't know what they were talking about although they are specialists at what they do and help thousands of people! I am not one bit impressed!

I like my family doctor alot. She is great to me, to my wife and my children. She is knowledgeable, attentive and caring. It breaks my heart to see the bad press that can be freely given, anonymously, on this website. It can really damage someone's reputation. I guess this is what's called free speech (or defamation?). Power to the people! Yeah!

She talked me out of getting a cholesterol test, for some reason. I just wanted to make sure it was OK, but she was against it. My mother was dying of cancer and did not know and pretty much begged to be tested. She only received comments like "its a good thing to be losing weight" and " what do you want, to live forever?" My mother passed away last December and received excellent help from all of the staff at the Regional during her terrible sickness. My whole family was disgusted with Dr Comeau's fake sympathy visits after after not caring at all when my mother needed help.

Dr. Comeau replaced Dr. Canty as my family physician, and I have been stuck with her ever since. She is rude, arrogant, misinformed, and somewhat manipulative. I absolutely dread an office visit, therefore I make frequent use of after hours clinics, but the nature of my illness demands SOME continuity of care, IF and WHEN I can get in to see her. There has been no time that I have left her office feeling better, in fact I usually feel worse, and have sometimes been in tears walking out. I think she is a morally bankrupt individual with no social skills OR "bedside manner", who seems to actually be on some sort of "power trip" all the time. I am desperately in need of a caring and compassionate GP, and am at my wits end with this one.

Personality should not really matter. A knowledgeable doctor who is caring and wants to help you is most important. Dr. Comeau is confident in her abilities. Maybe sometimes we think that we are smarter than the doctor. If something bothers you, and you don't agree with her just go back and bring up the issue again. I have. Everyone has bad days, and it's hard to be friendly all of the time. I believe she is doing her best and is a kindhearted person, wanting to help people feel better.

As hard as I try to explain my health issues, Dr. Comeau will not listen. I had cancer for approximately three years before she even knew I had it. Thanks to everyone else on my medical team I managed to get through 7 months of chemo and major surgery. When I went to see her she seemed sorry that I had the cancer, however, she still treats me as though I don't know anything.I am seeking a new family physician and will get out of Dr. Comeau's office as soon as I find one.I did not choose to have her as a Doctor as my previous two Doctors had relocated and she took their place. I find Dr. Comeau very arrogant and rude. I have been forced to go to the After Hours Clinic on several occasions because I could not get in to see her. All of my appointments outside her office were urgent and required immediate medication.

Dr Comeau is not as knowledgable as I would expect a Dr to be. When she was out on maternity leave her replacement (Dr Parker) solved problems in 5 minutes whereas Dr comeau just kept prescribing the same meds (that were not working)over many months. She does not listen, makes up her mind in the first few moments of the visit and will not change her mind on follow up visits either. On the plus side... she is better than having no doc at all.

I would like to rate her worse but have to give her some benefit. She is rude. 8 of 10 times my apointments are cancelled. THEY make mistakes and try to charge YOU for them. She speaks to you like you are dirt under her shoes at times and seems very uncaring now also. I feel that I cannot go to her about my mental health issues anymore (I won't explain why). I find I cannot talk to her. Half of my questions and concerns go unanswered and unaddressed. Some times she makes me feel very very small, and I wind up leaving her office feeling bad about myself. I wish there were more doctors because I definately don't want to go back after my last visit!

I have been going to Dr. Comeau since she opened her practise and use to think she was a great doctor, very attentive, thourough and helpful. As her practise got larger so did her head. I find her to be very arrogant and cocky, quite a know it all and very often wrong when I have another doctor's opinion. It is too bad because she did start out with good intentions I think but "the doctor" thing has gone to her head. You use to be able to get right in or get your kids right in if they were sick, now you have to wait until they are better before there is an available appointment to be seen. We rarely see her and visit the after hours clinic.

Arrogant to say the least. She thinks no one is worth her while unless they can benefit her on a personal level. She is rude, easily angered and changes her mind a hundred times in one appointment. If you remind her of something she said before she snaps at you for having the nerve to try and correct HER, the DOCTOR. She's a know it all who, in my opinion, knows nothing. She forgot how to treat people. She has no compassion. She charges outrageous fees to some patients and nothing at all to others for the same thing. Her mood changes like the weather. She could be happy and smiling one second then yelling and flipping out the next. Someone needs to remind her that her patients are important and even though they don't have a medical degree they still deserve to be listened to and cared for. I don't know what ever happened to make her lose track of her compassion and caring, but I sincerely hope something opens her eyes and helps her remember what it is to be HUMAN.

I don't understand how she can charge one patient a lot to fill out forms, knowing that they have no money, but yet not chagre someone who has money. and the only way I know this is because they are friends of ours. So can she explain how she treats everyone equal when she doesn't. Helpful not really, went in there with a problem said oh nothing wrong, went back a week later, still nothing. Finally went back for the third time sent me for test, and oh guess what big problem. Tell me I wasn't pissed. Reason staying with her, no other doctor in this city is taking on new patients. God I wish there was someone out there that would. i probably wouldn't be the only one.

This Dr is the worst Dr in the world. I would not take my dog to this Dr. My son was having problems with his bowels, he could not go at all with out it hurting very bad if he tried. Then all of a sudden he would go in his pants with out warning. She told me to put a square section of plactic on the floor and tell him it was pee pee Island and he had to stay on it untill he could use the bathroom like every body else. I left Dr comeau's and started seeing another Dr, who took my sons problem very serious and told me to give my son metamucil cookies, one a day and also gave us a nasal spray that helped with our problem. My son continues to take the cookies but has no problems moving his bowels at this time. This Dr is just to full of her self to admit when she has not got a clue!!!

Dr. Comeau makes you feel incompetant. I had an abnormal pap when I was in university and it took awhile for her office to call me, finally they left a message on my voice mail. When I returned the call I was told everything was fine. The next summer when I was home I went for my annual pap and she informed me my last one was abnormal. She practically yelled at me for being irresponsible. She decided I needed an invasive procedure and would absolutely need to have it the day before my wedding. Luckily the doc at the hospital refused to do it on that day (so my wedding day would not be ruined) and recommended I get a new doctor! I got into Dr. Canty as a fav. from a friend because when I was young I didn't want to go to a male doc. (Dr. Comeau then took over Canty's practice). Dr. Canty was great, but with Comeau I quickly wished I had stayed with Dr. Blahgrave.

When I first started going to Dr. Comeau she was very attentive and thorough. She took her time and asked a lot of questions before making decisions, and was patient in explaining things. Over time she has become more assertive and far less thorough in her assessments as her practice seems to have changed into more of a business than a calling. As for the medical advice, it depends a lot on the day on which you catch her. On good days she can be quite helpful and informative, and has a cheerful demeaner. Other times she can be a poor listener, dismissive and contradictory. So you add it up and have a middle of the road family doctor.

I will give her a middle score. She can be helpful but like someone else said, she listens but doesn't always address the issue, or will give you a very short but confusing explanation with no advice for healing... She also can be very testy at times. She is ok when you catch her on a good day. Let's just put it that way. It seems to depend on her mood. I DO NOT like that she charges $20 for a persciption without appointment and that she won't even call it in for the 20$ you have to go and pick it up. And for missed appointment they charge you 15 - 30 dollars for. Even if they gave you the wrong appointment dates on your card and it's their own fault!! That's my few cents worth.

She is very rude, overbearing and doesn't listen to what you are saying. She is a know-it-all and will even contradict what other doctors and specialists advixe. Most of her patients that I have know just tolerate her because they have no alternative. I left her and went without a family doctor for several months because I just could not tolerate her arrogance and confrontatioal manner any longer. I am not sure if she has teeth because I have never seen her smile.

Dr. Comeau is very straight forward. If you are sick she will tell you, if you are not...the saying goes, if it aint broke don't fix it....She is very much into letting nature take it's course. She is very sweet & kind. Very knowledgeable. If you have an issue that she can't deal with, she has no problem referring you to someone who can help. She's awesome.
