I used to be under her care and -based on what I've read here -I really wish anyone who has commented or is about to comment for negative reasons would make a complaint to the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons. I also experienced her lack of thorough exams and lack of knowledge, her memory problems and her over-willingness/eagerness to prescribe medications --these have gone on too long. (maybe she gets $ from drug reps for prescribing I have no idea?) Sometimes she just seems apathetic when treating you. Sometimes I wondered about her own health - outwardly she seemed to have very poor posture, and poor vision, who knows what else. I reiterate -PLEASE INFORM THE COLLEGE OF YOUR CONCERNS.

A nice woman, but appears to lack self-confidence. One time, she told us in front of a student that her Anatomy wasn't much good. Another time when I said I thought I might have had a TIA she asked if I wanted her to send for an ambulance. Physical check-ups very incomplete, was interrupted whilst preparing to examine my ears, and never got back to the ears! Wasn't interested in discussing my worries over a family problem. Always ready to write prescriptions and refer us to specialists, we felt that she did not want to do simple treatments in the office. Scheduled physicals exams several times in a year unless reminded. A useful service is that there is a lab on the premises, for bloodwork, etc.

I saw ths doctor for a while. She was unprofessional. When going through a miscarriage she answered the questions my husband posed, to me, and not with much confidence. I had another issue that had me at emerg two times in two weeks and she refused to refer me to a specialist until I said I would go to the College. During one annual physical her dog was present! In the examination room! I found she avoided my questions most of the time and when she did answer it was with little confidence.

She has been our doctor for over 10 years now and I'm thnkful to be healthy and not need her services. I have switched my daughter's care to a pediatrician, after she prescribed her the wrong dose of medication as an infant (thankfully I did read the product information sheet before giving my child 2 times the adult dose she recommended). One of the nurses was about to give my 6month old an expired vaccine another time. She will give any prescription you ask for, just to make you happy and get you out of her office. She always seems to ask you what would you like to do for your condition, rather than offering a variety of solutions. In the process of looking for another doctor.

Dr. Sender is very nice as a person, but useless as a doctor. She looks scared to perform needles to the babies and than she does say something regarding your medical problem, it sounds more like a question. She might be quite knowledgeable, but her self-conference is running to zero. The good thing is that if you found certain test/medication/treatment on-line, she wouldn’t hesitate to prescribe those if you ask.

I find her care has deteriorated over the past three or four years. She has been treating me for a high Chosterol count and inists on giving me a Statin drug which I have ceased taking. Recent blood tests showed that the natural additives taken by me are working very well as my count for HDL is on down considerably! very passive and resents a patient who has done some research of their own accord. Quick to write a RX for just about everything! If she is taking on more patients she has perhpas lost some to another medical practioner who listen to their patients instead of reaching for their prescription pads. She appears to resent anyone who has taken the time to pursue information of their condition and have taken the time and effort to do so. She is inclinced to dismiss the topic without further discussion. I would be very happpy to find a Doctor who listens and doesn't smile sweetly and hand me a piece of paper with yet another medication scrawled on it for me to take!

I have been going to Dr. Sender for years and every time I present an issue to her regarding my health I always feel she looks at my like I'm stupid or from another planet. For someone that likes to be more involved in my own health she does not like that. Being in the health care system myself, I'm aware of many things and honestly, sometimes I feel like I know just about the same if not more then this doctor does. She is very quick to get out her note pad to give you a RX. I'm in the process of looking for another DR.

Very personable, always genuinely concerned and has properly diagnosed my symptoms.

I find Dr. Sender overly passive and she seems disinterested in my wellbeing. When I mentioned anxiety problems, she was overly quick to suggest medication as the solution.
