I’d rather die of cancer than be seen by him again.

Dr. Fourie's ratings speak the truth about HIS ethical and patient care protocol towards his patients. It is conincidental that he went from being in the general practice to oncology for no other reason but the monetary gain. It is also interesting that Fluoride has been in the Terrace water since 1968 and since then fluorosis and cancer are prevalent. The Beautiful Truth is a well researched documentary not to mention The Book the Fluoride Deception that link many chronic ailments with Fluoride in the community water. Just last year 2019 a 10 YEAR research on the link between fluoride in the community water and the lower IQ of male babies born from women who drank the water during pregnancy was established in many areas across Canada..more prevalent in areas that were fluoridated. The public needs to come together to live more natural with Mother Nature. This doctor is not a leader but a drug and surgical practitioner that is going against the saying "Do no Harm". Terrace needs another Referendum on Fluoride in the water.Terrace is one of only 3 left in BC that fluoridate the water. Let Mother Nature teach your heart and soul to choose a more Holistic approach to taking care of ourselves. Fluoride is a pollutant from the phosphate industry to produce fertilizer,fluoride and Prozac...Ps the TRUTH can not be erased.

Dr. Fourie failed me by not submitting required records to WorksafeBC after a workplace injury for which I did not miss any work. However, it has been 15 years since the incident occurred and my condition has worsened. While I was undergoing acupuncture, traction, bone scan, CT Scan, chiropractic therapy, and communicated ongoing issues with this physician, nothing was sent in to Worksafe BC on my behalf. The result was Worksafe closing my file and assuming that everything was ok despite ongoing treatments and symptoms.

This doctor is arrogant and rude. He felt threatened by a specialist and told me not to pay attention to those academics. Ther academic he was reeferring to is one of the most respected in his field in North America and was the one who helped me when Fourie was only causing me more problems. He dcefinitely needs more training in certain things.

I am shocked to see bad reviews on DR. Fourie. He was always wonderful to me. He never rushed me, always listened and explained things in ways that I could understand. He always squeezed me in when necessary. Cory, his nurse was also always wonderful. The only thing was the wait to see him..usually an hour after your appt. I had moved out of Terrace and was there recently and ran into him at the hospital, he took the time to say hi to me and ask how things were even though I hadn't seen him in 5 years!! He is a great doctor and I would definitely recommend him!!

Ok, not as bad as Dr. Wong, but close. A family member has had this doctor for a few years, and he seemed good at first. however, over the past 2 years he has continually argued about the validity of health problems, on top of which he also interfered and effectively cancelled a specialist appointment without patient knowledge. when you have to phone an out of town hospital to make your own appointment with a specialist, and that specialist meets with you/agrees you need surgery, there is something terribly wrong.

More than once this guy has gone the extra mile for me and I appreciate it. Very surprised to read the negative comments about him on this site as that has not been the case with me. We are lucky to have many great doctors here in Terrace and Jaco is one of them. Very smart man.

Dr. Fourie made a mistake and instead of an apology he got angry and told me to find another doctor, which isn't easy to do in Terrace.

Dr. Fourie has been nothing but wonderful to myself and my family. He listens, he goes the extra mile to explain things in laymans terms and doesn't make you feel he is rushing you out the door. Excellent care...gets to the root of the problem which hasn't always been my experience with other doctors.
