Ratings for Dr. Margaret Rowicka
this is the dr that delivered my son. she tried to tell me that because i was so young that i wouldn't know if i was actually having contractions. she was late for the delivery of my son tried to get me to push in between contractions and cut me because she became nervous causing me to have numerous stiches. after my son was born she called childrens aid because she didn't think my child was growing enough...they droped my file at childrens aid after 2 weeks when they found me to be a fit parent. she pushes medication on people and miss diagnosed a tonsil desease that i had for 4 years continuing to give me the same medication each time it flared up only to discover that this was only making the problem worse

Dr. Rowicka is the best. She is thorough, caring, and professional. She doesn't give up until she has found the problem and a treatment. Anyone who has her as a GP is lucky because she goes that extra mile for her patients.

i have been her patient since i was very young. I find that when i go there she still looks at me like "who is this girl?" She asks me to come in to discuss things but when i get there she asks me why i am there and cant remember what has been going on with me for the past 2 years. On the other hand she is very knowledgeable. If you have questions to ask she usually knows the answer and if she does not she will go find out.

I have been going to see Dr.Rowicka for several years know and I can tell you shes seen me through some tough times and yes you have to wait for her most times but if the option was to wait for qulity over quick uncaring health care I'll wait any day. No pill pusher here.

As a translator, I've had opportunities to observe various doctors carried out their care with patients and I have to say that this doctor is the most caring in all for spending time with patients to ensure that proper care is given.

I find her to be very caring and she takes the time to answer all my questions, especially after I've researched various things concerning my condition that aren't necessarily mainstream. She is very good with my teen children as well. I would recommend her to anyone. She is sometimes late for appointment times but that's because she tries to see as many patients as possible in the run of a day, squeezing people in that are in need. I also don't mind waiting if she's been to the IWK to deliver a baby during my appointment time. I'd want her to take the time to be at the IWK if it was me having a baby.

An hour or more wait to see her which is not acceptable.A specialist see's you within fifteen minutes. Makes one wonder what the hold up is and it's very frustrating. She must be very disorganized which concers me.

Not very happy with this Dr. I was seeing her through my pregnancy with twins. I was ill and on bed rest. I hadto see an obgyn. Dr. Rowicka told me I had to see her as well. I was making weekly trips to her when I didn't have to. I should have only had to see her once a month. The most disturbing problem was when I went into labour early. I was told at the hospital that Dr. Rowicka would be called. My delivery was quick and the hospital didn't get her in time. She called my husband and tore a strip off of him for not calling and then called the hospital and told them she wouldn't take care of the babies. That was the luckiest day of our lives. She also misdiagnosed a condition that could have killed me. I would not send anyone you care about to this woman who in my opinion cares more about money than patients..

Just want to say It's very bad staff working there very poor clients service. In the beginning receptionist booked appointment 10 days ahead but when I came to the office they told me Dr Rowicka doesn't accept new patients. Question is why he didn't tell anything about it before making appointment. I just spend my time for waiting and getting there it's very frustrating.
