Dr. B seemed harsh, insulting, and misogynistic to me. He rejected my six-year-old's worries after six weeks of problems. In my entire life, I have never had a visit with a doctor like this. I'm going to get some more advice. Get another doctor if you can't handle this man's arrogance and lack of assistance. Avoid this awful physician; it's unbelievable that he is an allergist with little experience. He makes incorrect diagnoses, makes jokes about illnesses, is impolite, lacks information, and is quite frightening. This is tragic. He thinks you're some fool who can't see past his phony responses and façade. His professionalism is a front for his pure contempt. He always appears to be gone if you have significant problems. Is this man a legitimate physician, or is there someone similar to Leo? Please help me. The only thing that saves him is that he appears punctual and at least puts on a professional front, but his behaviour betrays a lack of concern for everyone.

When I spoke with the assistant over the phone, she was impolite and disrespectful. I repeatedly tried to phone the number that was provided to me by the woman who had called me, but nobody answered. She believed that someone had informed me that the assistants were remote workers, but I was unaware of this. They could have updated their voicemail to reflect the modifications, though. gave me the feels.

Referrals are given more priority than patient treatment. If the team received a refresher on client-centered care, it would be beneficial: Developing a relationship with the patient is beneficial: very disappointed. He is away most of the time and work done by the residents.

I went in stating that allergy medication hasn't been working and I was hoping to determine the root cause of my allergies. He did the pinpricks on my arm, said I was allergic to dust mites (which almost everyone is) and I know isn't the main cause of my allergies, and then proceeded to tell me to take allergy medication. Which I already stated hadn't been making any difference, no matter what brand I had tried. Then he said I can either take an allergy pill every day for the rest of my life as the solution or have a breathing mask for the rest of my life. Two extremes don't solve the problem. If he could help direct me towards possible items, I could be allergic to (since I had an idea of some items it could be and came prepared with the information), that would have been much better at helping to find the root cause instead of telling me to drug myself for the rest of my life without any change in symptoms. Really disappointed in this doctor, and it was a waste of my time. He just wants the clients in and out quickly. I do NOT recommend HIM.

He appears to believe you are an idiot incapable of seeing past his superficial responses and phoney demeanour. His professionalism is merely a facade to conceal his total contempt. He always seems to be away somewhere if you have a difficult situation. Is this guy a real doctor or someone from Catch Me If You Can? His only redeeming grace is that he appears to be on time and at least claims to be professional...all the while, his acts demonstrate that he is solely concerned with himself.

Rushed, rude and does not care about what you have to say. Has no time for patient but spends time on teaching, STAY AWAY

Do yourself a favour and stay away from this doctor. His receptionist is rude, arrogant and dismissive. I’d rather wait 2 years where else than walk through this door to be treated so rudely. Train your staff properly

I have been seeing Dr. Betschel for a few decades now. He was the third doctor I was referred to for my autoimmune condition. From the start, he searched for a treatment as he understood how debilitating my symptoms were. Over the years, he has listened to my feedback and has always been responsive. The negative comments I’ve read about him just don’t resonate with me. I am so grateful to have him as one of my specialists.

Extremely unprofessional. He basically scans your OHIP card and uses his residents to do his work and see his patients while he is on vacation and cannot tend to patients. Your care will be put on hold while he is on vacation and you are left to suffer. Steer clear and save yourself from this doctor.

Very surprised to read some harsh reviews of Dr. Betschel. He was extremely professional, punctual and prepared to answer any questions regarding my test and results
. The office staff was very thorough from booking to reminders and carefully explaining what I should expect during testing. Overall a very satisfactory experience especially during the taxing times our medical professionals are dealing with.
