My daughter went to SSRH by ambulance in April and Dr. Dabbour was the tending "physician". After waiting 3 hours the man entered the area we were in, leaned against the wall and told me "your daughter is healthy, she probably has Covid, I could run a covid test on her if you want. Go home." I told him my daughter had something else going on (fever, chills, racing heart, shaking uncontrollably at the time the ambulance arrived, she was pale and was complaining of being out of breath a lot lately), he felt her neck.. that was it! He acted as though we were wasting his time. Spent MAYBE 5 minutes with us. When I asked him then to do a Covid test to rule that out at least he replied "I really don't want to waste a test... its not going to change anything. She'll get over whatever it is. Go home."
One month later my daughter ends up going by ambulance again to the SSRH. Still same symptoms only much, much worse. (She has no family doctor) Thank God a competent doctor was on and he ran blood work and immediately had her transported to the IWK. Where she was diagnosed with Luekemia.
This man is not a doctor. He is incompetent. I only hope he reads this and learns that his poor care caused my daughters cancer to get worse. If he'd done his job it could have been caught earlier. I'd rate zero stars if I could.
If anyone arrives at the ER and sees that he is the "Doctor" please get a second opinion or run to another ER as fast as you can.
