She definitely dismissed all the symptoms I was having and essentially told me to lose weight and take Metamucil. I’ve lost 35lbs (6’1 and now 178lbs) and still feel as bad if not worse from our conversation about a year ago. Don’t waste your time with this doctor.

Amazing Doctor, She is always polite, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. She has given me my life back. I can enjoy swimming, biking and new adventures due to her outstanding care. Dr Marija always follows up and provides updates to other doctors I am dealing with. I LOVE my retirement, I have energy and am enjoying every moment. Thank you Dr Makhija for providing me with your exceptional care.

One of the worst and rudest doctors I have ever been to. Completely dismissed my problems and even said that my problems weren't real when the pain was very much real. The staff is also extremely rude even going so far as to make up lies about answer calls that never happened. Never been treated so poorly by a health care "professional". TLDR was never taken seriously and made to feel like an inconvenience to everyone working there. No care at all.

Bad doctor, careless. She seemed angry with me, when I told her all my worries.
the patient is worthless to her.

I had a phone appointment with this doctor and she was dismissive, careless, she was not interested in hearing about my health issues, she lectured me about not remembering exact dates of previous medical procedures. After speaking with her I did not receive any medical advice or suggestion about how to treat my condition. She sounded like she was inconvenienced with my questions and comments to the point of telling me just to answer her questions (she clearly was not willing to listen to any extra information ).When I was telling her about my symptoms she generalized my condition and told me everybody goes through the same issues. I clearly told her I can’t eat eggs because I get terribly sick and she still suggested to go and take a test that is done by eating eggs and tracing them down all the way to my stomach, when asked for an alternative she refused to give me one and reading on the internet on my own there are a lot of other tests that can be done without eggs , she was just not even interested in thinking further. She suggested some medications that create addictions ( narcotics ) and when I asked about clarification she told me to go and read on my own and learn about them. Doctors in Canada are paid with our taxes. Her service was below unacceptable, she clearly does not appreciate her patients, our taxes that pay her salary or sympathize with the pain and suffering that her patients goes through. I will never go back to this person who call herself a doctor or recommend her services to anyone.

I was fortunate enough to end up seeing dr Makhija last August. My MD send me to have colonoscopy and to see if Dr Makhija can help me with weight and bloating issues. I new something needs to be done and after going through diets and visiting different weight loss clinics I failed every time. I would lose weight and gain it back and some. No diet helped with bloating and the sluggishness. First visit with Dr Makhija, she reviewed my blood work and told me that I have insulin resistance. Scared the .., out of me. Didn't have any clue what that is. Of course I researched it and voila. I knew what is wrong. She recommended intermittent fasting and briefly introduced it to me, due to obvious time restriction. I got on it, educated myself and let me tell you I feel like million dollars. Lost about 30 pounds and jump out of bed in the morning. Dr Makhija no nonsense manner and her approach worked magic. It's been a year and I made lifestyle changes without feeling that I'm on a diet. I feel great, look great and all thanks to Dr Makhija. If you are lucky enough to get in touch with her if will change your life for the better I can almost guarantee it. Just give her a chance and you'll be just as thankful as I am.

I too had an unsatisfactory experience with this doctor. I ve worked in the healthcare profession for 40 years yet she treated me dismissively , contradicted my voiced experience. I felt like my health problems I were inconvenience. At each visit, I had to review my problem with her. I would have thought that she could read her notes before each patients visit. There was no confidentiality of information in the recovery unit. I knew exactly who had what problems. I found the front desk and scheduling staff to be of the same dismissive attitude I ve had several colonoscopies in the past and only one at this clinic. I will not return
