He never talks to you & gets very upset if you question him re: results. Horid responses if you question him. Ive been very upset with his bedside manner & interuptions insead of listening. Hopefully he retires soon. Moving onto another treferral as this man has no idea what hes talking about. I had cancer & still dont no where I stand re: spreading. Oh My God.

This man has zero compassion & empathy. Is always late. He treats people like a piece of meat. He doesn't seem to care about how you feel. Hardly hears about the issues on your health. Should retire and allow someone else with more compassion to do the job.

Let's say it out loud, he is weird. Knowledge and followed strictly the study. If you stand up to up and ask, no demand answers or referral he will. You have to be on top of him to get things done, but he will. I did it!!! before chemo, I refused to take my clothes off (to be examine) so he would stay and answers my questions.

Do not go to Dr Yoshida if you want any kind of pain management. I have breast cancer, chemo from December to March. No pain medication given throughout my treatment. He only suggest Tykenol. I developed neuropathy. I can barely walk but refuses to let me try a drug listed on the cancer.ca website for neuropathy. I visited Dr Yoshida at the beginning of June and was going to schedule MRI and referral go neurologist. I called today (mid august) and no referall or MRI listed on my chart.

This man has zero compassion & empathy. Is always late. Asks how your feeling and dismisses that it’s due to your cancer. I’m disabled and he could think I’m inferior.

Refuses to see a single parent with no childcare. Shouldn't be allowed to practise medicine! What kind of doctor refuses to see a patient with kids?! And for cancer of all things!

I would still have my dad here today if he did what he was supposed to do and that was to contact The London cancer doctor to inform my dads other cancer doctor which was the best he had at the cancer clinic in London . My dad was given five years plus but since he was healthy the doctor London said he could live longer than five years he was so healthy the only thing with the cancer doctor if yoshida didn’t do one thing about what my dad kept saying to him something is wrong I’m having the diarrhoea six days a week which he didn’t do nothing And not once did yoshida come and visit my dad while he was in the hospital for different times or have the heart to come in to the room when my dad passed away and Yoshida walked right by my dad’s room the doctor in London called my mom and said how sorry he was to hear about my dad the day before my dad passed he had an appointment to go down and see the doctor in London my dad couldn’t even walk by then he was nothing but skin and bones and hiis cancer doctor in London did not even recognize him when he walked in that room because they had to put him off the stretcher into her hospital bed and the only way he knew who he was was when he looked at the name on the file my dad left there that day and the next day I was gone. He got the truth from the doctor in London and that’s all he wanted to hear but sarnia Did nothing and he was to far gone and gave up, part of my heart died when he left he was not there to walk me down the aisle and it hurts I’ll never see him again thank you for let me share this and hopefully people read this and he didn’t even have the nerve to Come in to say I’m sorry to hear about your dad my husband’s doctor came in and said sorry to hear about him if you need anything just let me know no that’s what I call a doctor and his cancer doctor in London I will never ever recommend Sonia especially Dr yoshinds my dad had in Sarnia because this could’ve been fixed with medicine change his chemo come and change to a different chemo my dad pretty much starved and it hurts

My dad was referred to Dr Yoshida in September 2017 for a rare form of cancer that his one cancer Dr in London told him was 5 yrs but he said my dad was healthy as a horse and he could probably beat the 5 yr point and that’s all my dad wanted to hear was the Truth and that’s what the Dr in London told him. He started his chemo treatment at the hospital with Dr Yoshida in September and my dad kept asking him questions but he never got answers from him and my dad kept asking why I’m i getting the diarrhea and Yoshida kept saying your ok and my dad lost his appetite and was hospitalized three different times in the hospital and not once did he come in and see him and he walked right by my dad’s room because I seen him. The fourth time my dad was taken to the hospital he had an appointment to see his other cancer doctor in London and my dad was so thin, weak, and couldn’t even stand up or walk that voyager had to take him by stretcher and had to put them on the bed so when the doctor walked in he didn’t recognize my dad until he looked at the paper and realized it was my dad that’s how bad my dad looked and how much weight he had lost and the one thing the doctor Said to him was why wasn’t I notified by Dr Yoshida on how bad you were. The doctor in London told him straight out the way I look at you know I’ll give you 6 to 9 months because you’re more prone to blood clots but if we can get you back to eating then we can get you on a different chemo that will not cause the diarrhoea so it was good to hear my guy got what he was looking Like he always did from this doctor in London he was the best. Voyager took him back to Sarnia to the hospital and that was the last time I seen them alive, he was gone the next day and I never see my dad again because of him Dr Yoshida, he didn’t even have the decency to even come in and say sorry to hear about him that day he walked right by the room as if nothing had happened it was another doctor that came in out of the goodness of his heart to say that he was sorry to hear about the passing of him and if we need anything just to let him know. It will be two years next month today that he left, And when he died my heart went with him it will never be the same without him so when somebody says he’s the best doctor don’t believe them I wouldn’t trust him. So my dad was diagnosed And gone in eight months

I had treatments with Dr Yoshida 20 years ago and I was very pleased. I found him to be very kind and caring. When I was finished with 10 months of treatment and 5 years follow up, I said to him “Thank you for saving my life”. His response was “I didn’t do it, you did it. I just gave you the treatment plan” I’ll never forget that - he was very humble that day. Then I ran into him a couple months ago and he still remembered my first and last name. I think he is a great doctor

Received way more information from the pain doctor than this guy. Cut my Mom off in mid sentence. Asked for questions but was very obvious that he didn't want to hear them, nor had 10 seconds to answer them.. He couldn't get out of the room fast enough. Can't comment much on knowledge due to the fact he said basically nothing. Person that said the poor ratings are probably from a woman scorned, saw it myself. I always always give people the benifit of the doubt until I see it myself. Unfortunately I just did. Must say his staff is plesant and professional. And thank goodness for Dr. Kim.
