His secretary (in Ajax) was very rude when I couldn’t make his hours of 8-9:30 work for my schedule, which is ridiculous. She refused to refer me to another clinic where he works. When I saw him the first time I told him my gauze was stuck to my draining abscess and he ripped it open promptly thereafter, very unpleasant

Missed one appointment as I was in the hospital. The surgeon reached out as they needed his expertise to manage my infection With IV antibiotics and he said I was not his patient and he was not able to offer help . He discharged me as his patient due to the missed appointment. Who does that? Heartless.

I was referred to him for Lyme disease....he gave me an antibiotic for 30 days. I went back to see him after the 30 days and he told me that if I don't feel better then I don't have lyme disease...and dismissed me like I was wasting his time. I also felt that seeing him was a waste of time.

Was referred to him by my family doctor because of extreme mold exposure (had rashes all over and other terrible symptoms). Appointment was for 15 min. But I only saw him for 3 min. He sat down asked me what it was about. Then he said without the best bedside manner (roughly): "mold doesn't cause any infections or rashes, just allergy (in a thick accent)" and flew out of the room. I have since gone on to, whilst paying out of pocket/debt, get lab tests that prove that I have serious mycotoxin poisoning (poisons caused by mold as a secondary metabolite) and other issues. I've been to the hospital 2 times coughing blood and black junk with lung pain since going to this doctor 2 months ago. I'm still nowhere near recovered. He was wrong on all accounts about mold only causing allergies (a quick google search proves him wrong). His superior has commented in some press release that he's famous for "diagnosing on the spot quickly" and that's what the hospital needed. Sure.

Absolutely useless. I should have gotten a referral to see someone else. I was just an excuse for this guy to bill OHIP. He spent scant minutes with me and was in no way beneficial seeing him.
