Dr Shojania is an amazing doctor. The amount of years he has spent in medicine it would be safe to say he is an expert and you are in great hands. The staff can be more organized in confirming appointments. I have missed few appointments was expecting a reminder call.
I suggest to write down your appointments. However, I am sure they are a very busy office. Overall staff is very polite, and the doctor is the best in the business!

I have been a patient of Dr. Shojania's for 14 years (back when he had a wee office in Richmond!). He is absolutely the best. I can't tell you how many times he's advocated for me over the years. One of my favourite things about him is that during my appointments I always feel like he's got all the time in the world for me. That is rare for any doctor, and a miracle considering how extremely busy this man is. He is knowledgeable, kind, sincere, and supportive.

I have been seeing Dr. Shojania for almost 2 years. I was referred to him by My Doctor in Toronto. I could not be happier to have him overseeing me. He is kind, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to listen to everything that has been changing in my life regarding my Sjogrens diagnosis. He breaks everything down to me in detail so I really understand whats happening, and supports my beliefs in taking more a Natural approach instead of taking medication until there comes a point where I do need to. His staff is lovely from the front desk to nurses!

Dr. Kam Shojania's response
I am very sorry to hear this. This was not my intention. Sometimes I suggest a rheumatologist closer to your home. Please contact my office and we will rebook.

I was referred to Dr. Shojania for a second opinion after having seen another rheumatologist. Not only was he able to determine the correct diagnosis but he put me on a treatment plan that significantly improved my symptoms. He was very knowledgable about this disease and was patient in answering all of my questions about it. He was very compassionate - as was his secretary. There was another doctor who attended as well who was one of his students. He taught the student about this condition with me there. I appreciated the extra attention of having two doctors reviewing my case. I have spent a lot of time in doctors' offices during the last few years and can say that Dr. Shojania is the best. I feel lucky to be one of his patients.
