I used to think Dr. Lilly was a great doctor. He was my mother's doctor for 17 years. Considering the amount of years he has been a Gastroenterologist, he should know what he is doing. Apparently not! Our mother wasn't monitored regularly for cancer considering Cyclosporine is the major reason why transplanted patients demise from cancer. Regular monitoring should be conducted on every patient who has undergone organ transplantation. Apparently, that wasn't the case. Our mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma of the unknown primary in July 2015 and Dr. Lilly was no where to be seen throughout all the hospitalization our mother had undergone in the last 6 months after being diagnosed up until the last few days of her life. It appears the cancer originated from the 1st liver they had transplanted diagnosed as HCC (Hepatocellular Carcinoma) but never monitored properly which manifested to a secondary cancer which wasn't found (hence why they diagnosed her with Adenocarcinoma of unknown primary). We are having this matter investigated since our mother's demise in early 2016 regarding being misdiagnosed and not properly monitored.

After all the years our mother and has have trusted Dr. Lilly, he has proven to be a terrible doctor with no sympathy or care. He had reports and knowledge of everything our mother was going through and he didn't intervene and try to help. Our mother was misdiagnosed for 6 months at Toronto General Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital which Dr. Lilly was fully aware of and Dr. Lilly didn't help. BE CAREFUL!!!! I don't wish to scare you or deter you from your main source of organ doctor and coordinator but make sure YOU insist on getting checked regularly for cancer. I have another friend who has undergone a liver transplant and is now diagnosed with cancer. God Bless you all!

Over the many years I have been a patient living with two major illnesses, PSC & Crohns I have seen many doctors. It was 20 years ago that I first met with him & almost 20 since I received my liver transplant & he still in my opinion is the best doctor. They need to figure out out to clone him. Hopefully is great bed side manner, kindness & sense of humour wore off on the interns that worked with him.

Dr. Lilly is an absolutely wonderful doctor. He has been my husband's doctor for almost 10 years and has got us thru some very difficult times. He communicates well with his staff to ensure that all of our needs are met. He is a doctor that ensures that all your questions are asked and answered before he leaves the room. We live in Northern Ontario and he corresponds with the doctors here to co-ordinate my husband's care. Dr. Lilly is a doctor that goes over and beyond the expectations of what we have seen with other doctors. Jeff, his co-ordinator is wonderful and always willing to answer questions or get answers from Dr. Lilly. On occasion you have to wait awhile to see him, but this is due to his care in taking care of other patients. Emergencies happen and unforeseen problems are dealt with, which sometimes causes a delay in him getting to his appointments. The wait is worth it because of the exceptional care we get. We are thankful that Dr. Lily is our doctor.

My experience with Dr. Lilly, his staff and Toronto General Hospital has been nothing less than outstanding. Dr. Lilly is very personable, was extremely knowledgeable about my situation at all times, and explained things making them easy to understand. Every little hiccup in the blood work numbers, as few as there were, were immediately acted upon by the team. After many months of decline in my health leading to the diagnosis of liver and kidney failure, I was fortunate enough to be given a second chance at life with donor organ transplants. I can only say that I am extremely glad that Dr. Lilly chose his profession and continues to look after me.
