It’s like he was not interested in knowing what was wrong with me. I only started explaining and he didn’t even bother looking at me and was looking at his piece of paper the whole time and kept writing stuff and when i was trying to explain my issue, he made me feel like i was bothering him in his work. Finally he only sent me to get x rays done and said young people like you should recover fast.
That was so disappointing and frustrating
How can you judge someone without examining and knowing what the issue was..??

My complaints regarding this rude and incompetent individual are being laid before OHIP who need to seriously examine his competency to act as a Doctor. For the second time he left me outside his clinic for inordinate lengths of time, the latter being nearly two hours. Only after I had text a message that I had left was any attempt made to contact me. I had asked for access to a washroom and was rebuffed. In cold weather he expects patients to sit in their car in the parking lot, presumably with the car engine running as he did with me last December.

Absolute worst medical experience in my life. Didn't even look at me. Just kept taking notes. Didn't introduce himself. Didn't even get out of his chair to call me in, he yelled from inside the room.

He suspected what was wrong but didn't even prescribe anything. My partner, who is an RN, was present and asked why not prescribe anything. His response "Oh, ok. Whatever you want". And wrote a prescription. After finishing the prescription, I wasn't completely better. Turns out that his dosing and protocol was completely off. I should have read the product monograph first. It reads out the proper dosing clear as day.

He also wanted to send me for testing and filled out the forms. He didn't ask me anything but filled out my race, other conditions and risk factors incorrectly. Couldn't even be bothered to ask because that would take too much time. Just kept staring at the paper taking notes and checking boxes off for me. Again, I didn't think his tests would be conclusive enough and voiced that concern. His response, "oh ok, whatever you want" and asked me what tests I wanted.

I also had an infection on my arm at the same time. I asked for a swab and he said they don't do that. I need to be referred... Complete bs. Bacterial cultures are routine and I would be in complete shock if the Mississauga walk in did not swab for cultures. He was just lazy and didn't want to do it. He explained that someone needs to look at the results under a slide. Ummm, that is not how you test a bacterial culture. This wasn't a biopsy requiring a histopathological report.

This man is an absolute waste of time. Runs an OHIP mill. Pathetic excuse of a doctor that everyone should avoid. It absolutely worries me because while I think I'm fairly well educated on health matters (former scientist working in pharma), I would have been screwed without my RN partner there. So many people must leave that office no better off than when they arrived.

Leaving the appointment the appointment with him today, I was so frustrated.... beyond words can describe. It makes me so sad that doctors like him practice medicine and charge OHIP.
I was hoping to find some answers or be directed in a right direction with the right investigation.
He hardly looked at me, just kept on writing something in his notes;at my swollen hands and feet.
Said I am to young to have any serious condition!!! and to take Tylenol for my pains!!! I am RN and do have some knowledge in medicine, so it makes me not only sad, but extremely mad that a doctors like him are allowed to practice medicine in our country.......

GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT! I have ever had. We went to him for the treatment for the wrist pain of my son, before visiting him we had only one X-rays, he did not see the X-Rays report and asked us what was in it, we replied its was OK and That is done! without doing any further investigation or examination he said nothing he can do and asked us to use the pain killers (which my son is using for last couple of months, and thats it!The story did not end-up here, when I argued with him then he said " if YOU want I can refer you a Neurologist, or if YOU want I can write a blood test! Very much disappointing!

He is one of the nicest internists in GTA. I am very please with the medical care I got from him. He listened carefully and explained fully his recommendations. He is well versed in internal medicine and rheumatology.

He is kind and courteous. He listened to me explaining my symptoms and made the right diagnosis. He prescribed exactly what is needed for my condition. He seems up-to date in his specialty.

I am not surprised with the statements below. He too was rude and unhelpful. When I called to complain about his care, which...by the way...he mis-diagnosed me and cost me 6 days of time in hospital. when I called the clinic and spoke to the supposed supervisor, she defended him and called him a "good doctor". wow! we can't afford to have doctors like him. Doctors like him are what drive up costs and cause unnecessary return visits to other hospitals and clinics. In fact..the meds he gave me...which I never filled...wouuld have made my condition worse!

I found this doctor to be particularly rude, unhelpful, and not very knowledgeable in his field. He failed to diagnose my injury and refused to fill one required WSIB form on my file because -in his own words- "the owner of this clinic does not like us to get involved in WSIB claims" and "claims like this one make insurance expensive for everyone else". In the end I was able to process WSIB coverage for treatment and I was properly diagnosed by a professional physiotherapist (for what it seems to me, a relatively common injury to the knee). I am recovering now that I am finally receiving treatment. Not only did this Dr Hamideh failed to diagnose, but was also inhumane and rude enough to suggest that my injury did not 'deserve' any attention at all.
