I was referred to Dr. Sloka after a visit to emerge when I was in my early 20’s and an educated university grad. I was naive and had no idea what to expect from a neurological exam. He asked me to completely undress and proceeded to fully examine my entire body in an unprofessional manner, with a great deal of attention spent on my breasts. He told me he was looking for unusual moles or spots. I felt completely violated, but I wasn’t sure if he had crossed a professional boundary so I never reported it. I reluctantly went to my follow up appointment, but brought my boyfriend along. Nearly 7 years later this still bothers me and comes to my mind anytime I visit the doctor. I was completely disgusted when I saw the headlines in the newspaper and feel awful that I never reported the abuse.

I had optic neuritis (a usual precursor for MS, and an aunt and cousin with the illness) was referred to Dr Sloka in 2015, he put me on an insane dose of Prednisone and did two MRIs as well as other tests.
After all was said and done my husband and I went I to his office to go over the MRIs. As Dr Sloka went through the images reassuring us everything was fine, then we came to the last image with an obvious “mark” on my brain, and he had an arrow pointing towards it...my husband and I asked about it and he brushed it off as nothing.
Both of us with it not sitting right but still wanting to take his professional opinion into it. Not only did he say it was nothing he told me “it was highly unlikely I had or will have MS”

I’m writing this “review” because now 4 years and an “episode” later I have in fact been diagnosed with MS, he was not a good neurologist and he certainly was not in any aspect “good” human being

I feel for those personally victimized by him, and the ones like me who got thrown to the side with no diagnosis’s when it was clearly there

I was a patient of Dr. Sloka for over 3 years. I cannot say how sorry I am to the victims of this abuse, I am a young woman and I am very grateful I was never alone during an appointment. It's disgusting and I don't know how anyone can defend him. I can't say he is a good doctor when he used his profession to take advantage of people. My health declining, his knowledge of his upcoming trials, it became very clear that he was incapable of taking care of my health and managing his personal life. It is very upsetting to hear that patients were left without refills due to his license being lost. Especially since he had knowledge this was likely going to happen, referrals should have been available to other neurologists, if he had really did care about his patients well being. But clearly, as he is no longer a practicing doctor do to his incredibly disturbing abuse of authority to take advantage of patients, their well being is not his top priority.
My heart goes out to anyone who has been affected by this mans actions, left without a specialist, without medication, and especially to the victims. I wish you healing.

In my humble opinion, Kitchener lost a remarkable neurologist.
I'm a female, I have been his patient since 2010 and he has always been respectful, helpful, and extremely thorough. He didn't leave any stone unturned and with his out of box thinking was able to uncover things other doctors before him have missed. He was the only doctor that ever went above and beyond trying to help me, calling me at home on weekends to make sure I was okay, being willing to arrange for after-hours appointments when my limitations prevented me from seeing him during regular business hours. He was never inappropriate in any way and I would go back to see him in a heartbeat if I could.
You will be truly missed, Dr. Sloka.

I have been seeing Dr. Sloka for the past 7 years and learned of these allegations about a year ago. I am fortunate that my husband attended every single appointment with me, and there were many. I am disgusted and although was never abused I feel violated and sick that I sat in a room with this man, listened to his advice and allowed him to touch my body. I am so incredibly sorry to all the victims and wish you the best in your healing journey.

Dr Sloka was the neurologist on call the day that i came down with a terrible paralyzing spinal cord disease. After a month of decline and misdiagnosis from other doctors and hospitals - he recognized the illness right away and began a course of medication that likely saved my mobility. his continued care down the road was excellent, and he was always thorough and comforting. I have seen 2 other neurologists who have given me very similar physical exams (touching from head to toe, and with my condition - the occasional rectal exam) and i found nothing to be inappropriate. He in my opinion is a great doctor and this is a tremendous loss to patients. it will unfortunately increase the case loads of the other neurologists in KW and affect many.

The key part of this for me is, after having two children, I no longer knew what was medically appropriate or not when it came to my body. Women are told from a young age “he’s your doctor, it’s what he’s supposed to do” where’s the line? We’re torn between medically necessary and being uncomfortable.

Did I know that a neurologist wasn’t supposed to touch me like that? No. Do I feel dirty, used and stupid? Hell yeah. I had a massive depression and anxiety episode after I called the college the first time. I was left in a dead fog for a month until I sought out professional help.

I feel like we need to educate ourselves and our children on your rights as a patient, and what is appropriate and necessary is a specific situation.

I went to try to fill an important prescription today given to me two weeks ago and was told by my pharmacy that it is null and void due to the fact that Dr. Sloka's license has been pulled. They tell me they confirmed this with the College Of Physicians. If you have a prescription written by Dr. Sloka, please contact your pharmacy/College and see your doctor promptly to ensure you can continue to receive your meds. And as to the last comment, and others who have been victimized, I as a young woman cannot begin to express my deep sadness and disgust at hearing this; thank you so much for your honesty and bravery in coming forward so that this did not happen to myself or others. Please take comfort in this, and I truly wish all of those affected the best in your healing journey.

yes he is a good doctor but abuses his parents. Glad he got revoked so he can’t do that to other people . My thoughts are with his victims. His staff is good but has blinders on as I was told that he would never do that . I guess they never looked in the website where he confirmed he did it . I hope the victims can find a way to get past the abuse and more in their lives in a safe manner.

I saw Dr. Sloka in 2015 for a severe headache. He asked me to take off all of my clothes and had me lift my arms over my head while he examined my breasts. I remember feeling so incredibly uncomfortable while this was happening, but trusting he was just being thorough. I didn't know what to expect of a neurological exam. I feel incredibly naive having trusted him and sick knowing now that the "exam" was assault. I feel so violated.
