Dr. Zalter has not always been my favourite, I've had many things annoy me about his office, from wait times to cancellations and his receptionist; however, I find that it has improved significantly. I'm usually not waiting any longer than 20 minutes past my appointment time. Recently I've had to deal with anxiety and depression and I can honestly say that Dr. Zalter helped me more than the councilor that I was seeing. He was extremely understanding and helpful. Many people have said he is a pill pusher, but I find the opposite. I saw him for many months before medication became somewhat of a last resort. He spoke to me with compassion and understanding. I never felt that I was being judged and he really helped me come out of a bad place. I felt like he really did care and I think that is hard to come by nowadays. My children also see him and I have never had an issue. I feel like he tries to resolve the issue as best as he can and if he cannot solve the problem, he will refer you to a specialist. I felt so embarrassed to cry in front of him, but he didn't miss a beat, he just handed me a Kleenex and listened. Dr. Zalter gave me a ton of ways to try to help myself and pull myself out of a dark place. I am thankful for that. You also have to remember that most people only leave reviews when they are angry (I am normally one of those people).

The first time I met Dr.Zalter I was struggling with depression. He looked at me and said, "you do not have to feel ashamed". That is when I knew he would be my forever doctor. I have been with Dr. Zalter for almost twenty years and he has been amazing. My daughter's are his patients and my new grandson. I trust him completely.
Also Robin is amazing.

My brother took his own life in August of 2013, he struggled terribly with depression and anxiety. Dr. Zalter and his staff were always incredibly rude to him and treated him with zero respect. I believe he is responsible for my brothers death as he prescribed him 100 morphine pills knowing he was suicidal. He might as well of handed him a loaded gun! Not to mention my brother was severe asthmatic and morphine is not to be prescribed to people with respitory conditions. This Doctor is dangerous and if my family had the money for a lawyer we would have sued him for wrongful death. My mother even wrote him a letter after my brothers death and he did not even acknowledge it. I don't know how he can live with himself!

Dr. Zalter does not take time to do proper assessments or needed investigations. Judgemental and condescending. He is not interested in being a support or partner in your health care. It seems he is motivated to not have you come back. Not able to actually get treatment for what you need. He does not seem to care; The nurse practitioner at the after hours clinic they run helped me the most and treated me with respect.

this clinic is the most careless, inhuman, ruthless
medical clinic I have come across in my life. After my Dr. Barton left suddenly I was told to see Dr. Zalter, but after cancelling an appointment because of being too sick to get out of bed I was told I could not see any clinic doctors no more,also,I was also told I wasn't allowed to go to another clinic or i would be fined WTF.

this clinic is almost criminal in it's activities, in my time , i have never encountered ruder reception and almost thug like rules. They told me I couldn't see other doctors. This medical clinic should be shut down for malpractice.

I have chronic plaque psoriasis and had a flare up this past winter so I went to Dr. Zalter to get something to calm down my flare up while I waited to get into my dermatologist. He prescribed me something without even assessing my skin. When I finally got to my dermatologist he told me tgat what Dr. Zalter prescribed me is the worst possible thing you could give someone with my condition. All because Dr. Zalter couldn't bother to listen to my symptoms and assess the problem.

Wow, what a poor bedside manner !! Very rude and one sided, his side only !! I am so disappointed that he is considered a medical professional!! I believe he has lost his passion as a doctor and should consider a career change ,he certainly isn't living up to his oath!! Time to retire !! No wonder he is always taking patient, he cant keep the prior ones. Such a shame all that education and no people skills.
