I had my right knee replaced by Dr Mc Gonical, 4 years later it is worst that before. When complaining that I can’t get no longer of the ground using my right knee „What are you going on the ground for“ Run as fast as you can.

Dr. McGonigal is the surgeon who performed a knee arthroplasty on my left knee. His treatment was exceptional and the entire pre to post surgical care was excellent. I found Dr. McGonigal to be professional, knowledgeable and possessing strong interpersonal skills. He clearly explained the surgical process, made me feel less anxious prior to the surgery and updated my family after the surgery. His post surgery care was excellent. Most importantly, my recovery has been swift and my mobility is the best it has been in years. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Dr. McGonigal.

Dr. McGonigal is an indifferent doctor! Indifferent to the outcome and his patient's feelings. When I express concern about the extreme pain and discomfort after surgery, and whether this was normal, he commented: "I wouldn't know as I have never had a knee replacement." Keep looking for qualified surgeon who is professional in his work and communications.

I have seen this Doctor now 3 times and he is great!! If I ever need surgery then I know whom to go to. If he comes across as abrupt, it is because of all the issues he deals with at other hospitals along with Etobicoke. He is GREAT!!

I came to the clinic as a referral for a specialist after severely spraining my foot. My appointment was for 10:30am and as 10:30 rolled around they were still seeing patients who had 9am appointments! What is the point of an appointment if they treat it like a walk in clinic? The waiting room is huge but it was packed with people and it is pretty dark and dingy. I would never return to this clinic. I arrived early so as not to miss my appointment, so I ended up waiting around for more than 2 hours. Would have been nice to know in advance that I could have showed up late and been fine.

Can't imagine why anyone would want to continue to be a patient of this doctor once you see how he is. Does not seem to understand how to diagnose his patients. Puts his patients at risk.

Consider a different doctor. This one does not pay attention to his patients. Put a patient at risk because he refused to listen to what was being said. Too arrogant to pay attention. Suggest you seek the opinion of another doctor if this one drags his feet on proper care. He seems to have forgotten the "do no harm" part of the oath he took. Not doing anything while patients get sicker is as bad as failing at a procedure. Sad. Patient beware. There are many other doctors who will take their oath and responsibilities seriously and professionally.
