Wait times terrible. All doctors should take heed of this, and correct this practice of making patients wait 1 and 2 hours past their appointment times. I never found her staff disrespectful and they always got back to me in a courteous manner . Dr. Rizk would often go on to me about her family instead of my problem. This often caused patents in the waiting room even longer waits. Her office hours were often sporadic. It always annoyed me that you couldn't just call in for a prescription renewal. She always had to see you. I don't think I ever remember her getting back to me about medical tests or results. In reviewing the ratings on this page, most will be pleased to know that she is retiring on Jul.01, 2021. I was shocked to see that there had been an investigation by the College Of Surgeons & Physicians on her. Perhaps this and the scathing reviews here has fast forwarded her retirement.

I would not recommend her ever! No one calls you back and they’re never in the office. I always find after every visit that there is something I forgot to ask, she does all the talking cuts me off. The Doctor is always late! Once you finally get into see her it’s rush rush rush. Avoid at all costs!!!

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. My father unfortunately see's this so called doctor and it's been nothing but a headache. They never get back to you, never answer your calls OR voicemails. Her staff is so unprofessional and RUDE... Although she's very quick to take your money. She's incredibly rude, cuts you off, just awful. Please go to ANY other doctor. I never write reviews, but she took the CAKE. Listen to all these comments and AVOID HER!!!!!!!

If you visit the provincially regulated College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario website, you will notice that Dr. Rizk’s profile has a yellow “caution” symbol associated with it. After reviewing the various complaints brought against Dr. Rizk and the summary of findings from the investigatory board, it is very concerning, although sadly not surprising at all.

Having been a patient of Dr. Rizk for many years until I finally had the sense switch to another physician in 2017, I can confidently say that she is the most inept, unprofessional, and ignorant doctors I have ever encountered. In addition, her staff is rude and I have overheard them “trash talking” Dr. Rizk amongst themselves right in front of patients (although I almost can’t blame them for this if you see how terribly the Doctor speaks to her staff).

As others have noted, she is abysmal at listening and constantly cuts you off while you are trying to explain your symptoms. I cannot stress enough how little she actually listens when others are speaking.

Also, she is notoriously opionated about non-medical topics. She literally lectured me on how “it’s cruel to the children to only have one child”. I found this offensive, especially as I am an only child myself, although she would never know this after 10+ years of being her patient although having mentioned it several times during the family history discussions, because, as mentioned, she does not listen whatsoever.

In summary, run, don’t walk, to find another physician! No exaggeration and no joke.

DO NOT RECCOMEND.
Have been seeing her for 10 years on and off.
When I was 17 I was told someone my age should be having sex, so I should be on birth control. This was told to me by Rizk in front of my mother I was mortified.
My mother is very ILL now and they are fully aware of the situation. They had promised to fill out insurance forms and are now a week late and my mother will no longer be paid because of Rizks INCOMPETENCE. By the way it’s 4 days till Christmas to top it off.
She is ALWAYS LATE. I could be waiting for an hour and a half and there could be one person in line ahead of me.
HORRIBLE AT REFFERALS.
Should not even be a doctor. Needs to retire ASAP.
