Dr. ( and I use the term loosely), Veri operated on my mothers heel and ankle about 2 years ago. She is an elderly but was an extremely active and vibrant woman. Going for lengthy walks frequently, gardening, doing her own pool cleaning, housework, shopping etc…
Since her operation she has experienced extreme swelling as well as severe pain on a daily basis. She has not been able to do any of the things she used to do daily. My mom has no family Dr. so has had to make many trips to the ER for help with the pain which entailed hours upon hours of wait times. The follow up and after care has been appalling to say the least. He presents as arrogant, uncaring and condescending and this is totally unacceptable. My mother is now in severe declining health ( due to her cancer, not his fault) but has had to endure an unimaginable amount of pain and discomfort for the last two years and that has seriously impacted her quality of what life she has left. Thanks Dr. ?, for making what could be my mother’s conclusion on her life’s journey, absolute hell for her!
I wouldn’t let you within five miles of me if I needed care. I would have been better off taking her to my Vet for this surgery!
Shame on you damn-it ! Shame on you!

Dr. Veri is a chameleon. He picks and chooses which patients he wishes to treat nicely. He treats the staff at PRHC terribly -- swearing & yelling. It is also well known among the rehabilitation professionals (physiotherapists etc.) in Peterborough and surrounding area that he has a high proportion of poor surgical outcomes and they all advise their patients to go to Toronto for foot and ankle surgery. I would neither let this physician perform surgery on me, nor someone I care about. Strongly consider another surgeon if you are referred to Dr. Veri. You deserve better.

He fixed my Achilles’ tendon rupture. 2.5 months after surgery and I am walking with a slight limp and back to work. Dry, witty humour, and an overall nice guy.

Serious, knowledgeable and just the greatest guy that I saw weekly for almost 2 years. 11 surgeries to help me after a work place accident. If I called his office he rushed me right in as soon as I got to the hospital. Dry humor which fit with my quirky wit, lol...after having my foot amputated as my body did not heal he was there. After many years I have gone back to him and he is going to help me again. Surgeons see a patient once or twice and doesn't see you again. They see how many in a day, so to remember each and everyone would be hard to do. Trying to be up beat and positive over and over again. I call him a friend after 5 1/2 years as far as being there medically for me. Hebis not out to make friends, it is his job and I feel he is fantastic.

I had QUADRICEP RENDON REPAIRS ON MY KNEE IN JUNE. I WAS IN A LEG BRACE FOR 3 months and as far as I’m concerned, he did a great job……I’m back to close to normal and presently getting physiotherapy. If it happens to my other knee, I’d ask for him.

Very personable approach to explaining your diagnosis. Suggested options and ideas to decrease pain to stave off surgery as long as possible in my case. Highly recommend.
