I have mixed reaction to staff - some are great some are rude and have no customer service skills. He is never on time I suspect that he overbooks. You need to expect to be there 1 hour before you see him. He is a good Doctor and Knowledgeable but never has enough time for you especially after you spent an hour waiting to see him.

Amazing Physician. He's been my doctor since the day I was born and he's never failed me, nor the rest of my family. I now have a family of my own and he continues to be our GP. Sometimes he's late but if you know the best time to book, you won't wait very long. I'd rather wait for a quality doctor than have a minimal wait and poor care.

Have used him rather sparingly as we are rather healthy. Being late is his tradition, and if you can live through an average of 1+hr late you have yourself a great doctor. He listens well, pays attention and makes a full contact with patients. Excelent sense of humor and... well some years ago we were down in fever and had no energy to drive, he just came to our house to make sure we were OK and to write prescriptions. How many doctors you hardly know (at that time) would do that? He is trustworhy, knowledgable and likable. I hope he never retires!

he is a good doctor is you have a good rapour with him. He will not dig deep for symptoms. he gets upset when you tell him what you've read on the internet about your problem. if you have a good relationship with him,he's ok, if not, find a new doctor. not very firm with his patients.

Dr.Forbes was my doctor for 30 years until we moved out of town and with 3 young children commuting back to Brampton became tricky. After switching family doctors to a local doctor, I then realized even more so how special Dr. Forbes is. Yes you have to wait to see him. Is it too long, yes most times. Bring your mail to read, a letter to write, be prepare. Once you get to speak with him it is worth the wait. At the new doctor's office, you have to tell the receptionist what is wrong with you and then she judges when you can see him. You have to wait weeks for an appt. Then if you have another issue other than the one you mentioned over the phone, he won't speak to you about it. You have to make another appt. Or if one child is sick and the other comes, you cannot ask questions about the other child. Bottom line is Dr. Forbes actually cares about his patients.Yes it may take him a minute to refresh his memory on your name and issues, he is still worth it. One of the best ever.

This doctor is tops in my book,the patient is first on the list and does everything for them in his power.He will get to the bottom of your problem.Even if it takes awhile as some things do.If you are up front with him,he will get you to the right people.If he is late getting to the office it is usually because he is at the hospital look after his patient.Good doctors are hard to find this is one of the special ones
