I seriously have so much love for this man. He has an incredible knowledge of mental health because of his background working with some of the best psychiatrists in the city. He is AMAZING. Which is why I’m so incredibly sad, and so incredibly scared, to leave….

The Telus takeover has made it almost impossible to get an appointment. All their new policies and improvements have absolutely destroyed the amazing Copeman Clinic it originally was into a cold, uncaring business.

Half the time, their phones don’t even work. Like. Your Telus??? And I call your clinic and it says it’s closed. During open hours?? Email doesn’t work either apparently?? Sooo. Uhmmm. If a phone company can’t set up a phone please tell me how they’re qualified to run a clinic. Bullshi lol

Like I said. I love Dr McConville so much. Yes his sense of humour is that of a salty Scott, and I get that some people don’t get that. But when he can look me in the eye, when I’m an absolute complete utter mess, and assure me, with whatever story he has, that everything will be ok, it works.

I really hope he leaves Telus. I can’t imagine ever finding anyone else who will understand me like he does, and go above and beyond for me like he always has, and all I can say is:

F U TELUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You DESTROY lives, you don’t help anyone.

Everyone else I know from the original Copeman has left already, and I was hanging on for dear life not to lose my Dr. But…. I guess. It’s back out into the wild world of B.C. healthcare where the drs get paid absolute shi and frankly I don’t even blame a lot of them for being bitter about that, but hopefully I can find someone who still cares even 1/10 of what Dr M does.

I am so so so sad to lose this man from my life.

I signed up for the Copeman Clinic (now Telus Health) just over two years ago and was assigned Dr. McConville as my GP. One minute into my very first meeting with him, after having some some blood work done prior to my appointment, I was greeted with the horrifying news that I had stage four terminal pancreatic cancer and no more than 48 hours to live.I was told to make sure that my affairs were in order and to call my wife and give her this news. As I could not contact my wife at that time, Dr. McConville phoned her shortly after on her cell phone and gave her the same horrifying news. I was forced to say goodbye to my wife in emergency and children at the Vancouver General Hospital by telephone. Needless to say, this was a misdiagnosis as I am alive almost two years later. He never contacted me while in the hospital in any manner. I have suffered PTSD since that event as diagnosed by doctors at Telus Health. After requesting counselling at their expense all they would do is prescribe an anti anxiety pill. I have been paying about $350.00 per month to Telus Health even though I am unable to go there in person due to the effects of the PTSD. I have recently had to leave Telus Health so that I can have a GP. Telus Health has promised to make amends to me, but have never dealt with it. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM DR. MCCONVILLE AND TELUS HEALTH AS YOU CAN. My involvement with them has been an absolute nightmare.

I am surprised at the comment below as my experience with Dr. McConville is so different. He is very knowledgeable with a caring manner. Takes the time to listen and ask questions but does not coddle. He has cared for me during some difficult times and I appreciate his wry sense of humour and ability to be concise.

My experiences were very similar to many of the last reviewers. This dr was a rollercoaster of flirtatious, dismissive, arrogant and full of himself. He spoke more about himself than me and my conditions! I'm not going back to see this dr.

I was a patient of Dr. McConville in my mid 20's until I was about 30 - I recalled that at one of my last appointments I told him I got engaged and he proceeded to give me marriage advice. It was indicative of how he treated me over the years - slightly patronizing and inappropriately "father-like"... At one of my first appointments, I asked for a thorough STI panel, and he insinuated that I was a sex worker. I was always uncomfortable at our appointments, but being a young woman of colour who desperately needed a family doctor for regular birth control prescriptions (in a city where it is very difficult to find a family doctor accepting new patients), I just let his behaviour slide. I'm in my mid 30's now and know that I deserve better.

This clown is probably the worst Doctor I’ve had the misfortune to meet. I paid a lot of money to use Copeman clinic only to get this guy. Arrogant and close minded. Tried to get me on Statins and high dose. Diagnosed me with stupid diagnosis to prescribe more. As others have said inappropriate sexual comments about women and asked my sexual preference with a smirk. I am a male heterosexual not that it matters. Completely useless and off base. Can’t believe I paid so much for such a useless Dr

Dr McConville was my Dr until he apparently closed his practice in the west end. He made incredibly inappropriate sexual comments towards me and even went so far as to ask me if I give oral sex. A lot of the comments were subtle but in hindsight I realize how predatory they were. This man shouldn’t have a license. Avoid at all costs.

Arrogant and dismissive, rude and flippant. Not helpfull, responsive only when pressed.

Dr. McConville offers a style of patient care as a Doctor in a humanistic way. He’s helped me throughout some of the most difficult times of my life and I’m very appreciative.
