He has been my family doctor since I was a child. HE has always been very knowledgeable, caring and never gives up until he gets the cause of the problem. He used to have amazing staff like Pam and Sybil. Now the staff he has I hate to call his office. They are so rude and never have any idea what is going on.

He is a neglectful old man who puts his own emotions above patient are they you violating theHippocratic Oath. Also, he has the most RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL,MISERABLE secretary (so much so to the point that one could speculate she has something on him ). Because under normal circumstances she would have been fired a long time ago.

Dr. Gabriel is a good doctor who could be a great doctor if he was not overloaded with patients

Dr Gabriel’s new secretary is condescending and rude. She clearly believes she can do whatever she likes and get away with it. She often hangs up on me when I am trying to speak with her. She once pushed me out of the way while showing me into the room to wait for dr Gabriel, instead of asking me to move she pushed her way past me. I thought this was just absolutely abhorrent behaviour. When you tell dr Gabriel of these issues he doesn’t seem to do anything about it. I think he is stuck and has had a very hard time over the years keeping good staff employed because he is such a good and busy physician.
Dr Gabriel is a very kind and helpful person. He remembers patients by name and shows deep concern when required. He is very helpful with me and makes extra time to speak with me on important subjects, he has met me in the hospital many times. He truly cares about the well being of his patients. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Gabriel has been our family physician since we moved to Oakville in Sept of 2000. We couldn't have hope for a better more caring and devoted physician. Case in point Dr. Gabriel actually met us at the Oakville emergency on a Sunday morning for a issue that my spouse had been dealing with over the previous few days.

Dr Gabriel has been by doctor since I was 11 years old. He always says hello and always asks how other family members are and always has a smile on his face. However, he has a staff member a little Asian lady who is exceptionally rude. She has a very rude demeanour over the phone and in person she showed myself and my husband into a waiting room, while she did this she actually pushed my husband into the door in an attempt to get past him, while exiting the room. Instead of simply saying excuse me politely and waiting for him to move, she pushed him. I was beyond baffled by this behaviour. Cybil is by far the best staff member he has had, crotchety as she maybe, she is definitely a ray of joy compared to this woman. At any rate, dr Gabriel does not prescribe the proper pain medication, when one is suffering. I also find this baffling. He will say this is to prevent addiction, yet does not follow through with referals to pain care clinics. I am a chronic pain care patient who will have no other choice then to seek out a different doctor if this continues. I cannot function, do the daily things I used to do, such as shower, clean, laundry etc. something needs to be done.

Kind, professional and caring. Couldn't ask for more in the care of my 94-year-old mother in law at Trafalgar Lodge.

Dr. Gabriel has been my family doctor since I was a child (over 20 years now). I am very happy with having him as my family doctor as he is kind, professional, knowledgable and thorough. I have moved to other cities over the years, however always keep Dr. Gabriel as my family doctor because I trust his practice and he has shown me he really cares about his patients, their health and lives.

A family doctor who really cares about each patient

Submitted Nov. 29, 2018

Dr. Gabriel has been my family doctor since I was a child. He is a very friendly, kind individual who always remembers me and asks how my other family members are doing. Whenever things are out of his scope he sends me for a referral to a specialist. His staff typically follow up within a few days with an appointment date. While he is a great doctor, he is highly over worked and almost always over extends himself by booking too many office appointments knowing he has to do rounds at the hospital. I have never waited less than an hour in his waiting room. If you want a morning appointment or an evening appointment you will have to wait weeks and weeks for one. Middle of the day appointments are relatively easy to come by. His staff are a bit of an issue as of late. The last time I booked an appointment I had to wait three weeks. When I arrived they told me I wasn't on the schedule for that day and in fact, had no appointments scheduled at all. Clearly they forgot to write it down (no computers in that office!). They fit me in at the end of the day, but not before having to go home, go back to the office and then wait another 2hrs. I lost an entire work day, not impressed. Overall I'm very satisfied with the care that Dr. Gabriel provides. While the wait times are frustrating it's worth it for the care he provides.
