Je n’ai que de bons mots pour le Dr. Otaky. Il est calme, a une excellente écoute et prend son temps. Il m’a diagnostiqué un cancer au sein, qui était logé dans un kyste de 2 cm, il y a plus de 5 ans. Il m’a opéré à 3 reprises et je n’ai eu aucune complication ou cicatrices disgracieuses.

Sincèrement, je me considère très chanceuse de l’avoir rencontré.

Dy Otaky est un excellent médecin. Il est compétent et il est a de grandes habiletés au niveau du savoir-être: il est chaleureux, sécurisant, empathique et il prend le temps d'expliquer sa démarche diagnostique. Pour les gens qui sont très anxieux à l'idée d'aller voir un médecin c'est définitivement la personne qu'il vous faut.

Dr. Otaky saved my life. Even when my tumour hid from digital mammogram technology, it didn't from Dr. Otaky, first detecting it with his hands and then with an ultrasound. When I was being wheeled into surgery, I will never forget how his gentle reassurance touched my soul and put me completely at ease. His compassion, humanity, bedside manner and deep caring for his patients are gifts to all lucky enough to find themselves under Dr. Otaky's care. These qualities and Dr. Otaky's medical/surgical skills have been consistent and long-lived or so the ratings show. I know because he has been my doctor for close to 20 years and has saved my life twice.

My first mammogram revealed micro-calcifications. I was referred to Dr. Otaky for an ultrasound and possible a biopsy. I ended up having the biopsy on Monday. Dr. Otaky is a one of a kind doctor. He was reassuring, kind, calm and so professional. He told me I would probably have the results by the following Monday. Needless to say that it was a long week!! As I sat down to dinner Friday night, my phone rang. When I saw the clinic was calling, my heart skipped a beat! It was Dr. Otaky himself, calling me on a Friday night, after a long day at work. He told me I was all good! He was scrolling down his patients list before going home and when he saw my results he new I would have a much better weekend knowing I was fine. In terms of compassion , It doesn't get much better than that! Thank you so much!

This doctor is GOD SENT . I would have flown over seas to meet with this doctor had I known how great he is .
Thankfully he’s in Montreal . He’s very knowledgeable and with a bedside matter that quite frankly is rare these days.
I had suspicious microcalcifications in my breast and had come to him for a second opinion from the hospital. He took so much time explaining everything and reassuring me . I had the biopsy surgery done today and he was so gentle that I didn’t feel a thing . I’m afraid of needles..
This man is an angel 👼. Please do not wait for our health system , he is worth every penny . I’m never going anywhere else for my mammograms . Thank you Dr. Otaky ❤️
