I Started working with Dr. Macklin over one year ago and have lost over 31 lbs, my experience working with him has been nothing less than fabulous, he is very knowledgeable and his consultative approach helped me achieve my goal, yes I used Ozempic as prescribed however I am 100% I could have not done this without this, yesterday I had my full one year medical and my blood reports, ultrasound all were fabulous, fatty liver was almost back to normal good advice and care matters and I would say there is no one better in this space than Dr. Macklin

Nothing new to learn here...stale approach to a pervasive problem, exploitation of desperate people...

I’ve worked with Dr. Macklin through the Medcan weight management program for the past 6 years and had great success. Dr. Macklin and the dietitians are knowledgeable and friendly. I found the weight management program refreshing - realistic daily calorie intake that you can maintain for your life (no starvation), no goal weight just listen to your body until you find your best body weight. The program is somewhat expensive, but you’re paying to see the dietitian because unfortunately dietitians aren’t covered by OHIP. After the first year of the program, during which I regularly met with the dietitian as well as Dr. Macklin, I’ve continued to meet with Dr. Macklin several times a year to check-in and follow up on my goals (these appointments are covered by OHIP). I’ve enjoyed working with Dr. Macklin and recommend the weight management program to anyone who asks me how I lost weight and have kept it off.

Unfortunate that patient needs are overlooked and their desperation exploited. There are ways to improve on this disease without such prohibitive costs to the patient. Dietitians rarely understand compulsive overeating and Medcan is no exception.

Dr Macklin - is a caring and wise dr. He uses modern techniques - which include mindfulness and behavioural modifications to your life...he has always been a caring and respectful Dr. His staff and dieticians are professional and knowledgable. No simple answers to weight loose...but he offers them! I recommend Medcan's Diet program for anyone interested.

NO, there are many more empathetic options out there with real solutions for this awful problem.

No, sadly a doctor who cares more about his notoriety than his patients.

Dr Macklin frequently uses Optifast which works just as it did for Oprah years ago: swift, unsustainable weight loss! Recently he recommends diabetes drugs which should be outlawed for those who do not have diabetes and not be used for weight loss. Many drugs have a side effect of weight loss, does not mean we should be on them!
