Awful. Terrible. Unprofessional. Sexist. Creepy.

I got in here quickly and there’s a reason you can get an appt here in a week and can’t do that anywhere else. I’ll give him that fact that he was on time.

I walked in and he asked me to do a bunch of tests, and I said I already did them and he said “oh really?”. Which tells me he didn’t look at them. He then proceeded to tell me I’ll need IVF and medication to conceive due to PCOS and that “my husband doesn’t play a role in whether or not I get pregnant…. “He does”. He told me to start eating better and I said I have a better diet than anyone I know, I focus on whole foods, protein, healthy fats and complex carbs…not to mention I am at a healthy weight and well above the physical fitness level of the general population with education in fitness and nutrition. He proceeded to tell me that “no carb” is what I need, and that fruit is “unhealthy”. He topped off this 15 minute meeting by telling me that I need to stop working out. “It is unnatural for women to workout. Men are hunters women are gatherers. It’s not natural for you to be doing so much movement.” He suggested that my eating carbs and my movement levels are why I haven’t gotten pregnant. (I should note I workout 30 min a day every day with a mix of weights cardio and Pilates throughout the week…it’s not like I’m training for a marathon). He then suggested to me that “he wouldn’t” repeat what he said outside the four walls of the room… as if doctor patient confidentiality goes both ways?

I am now with a different clinic and the way their professionalism over email and measures for confidentiality put this clinic to shame. How does this doctor continue to have patients?

(Looks like he has two profiles but this one is more active so I posted it twice so people are warned.)

I want to know why he stood me in front of a mirror and examined my breasts while standing behind me. As a 19 year old I didn’t realize I could say no. As a pregnant 30 year old walking into his old place of work for my ob appt I found myself feeling that discomfort, embarrassment. Why did he need to do that when I was there for something not even remotely close to my breasts. He asked me extremely inappropriate questions, again something I put behind me as a teen. I did however make sure I had somebody with me the next few appts I had with him but shortly after my problem was solved and thankfully I didn’t need him anymore. I came here to see if any others had similar situations and I am just gagged to see that so many other women have had this type of discomfort with this man!

Terrrible bedside matter, the clinic just calls asking when you are planning to do IVF, they have no wait list should tell you everything you need to know when other clinics have 2-3+ years, all he cares about is money

Worst fertility doctor I have worked with. Was able to get pregnant with another doctor elsewhere. Waste of my time!

He is very calm, knowledgeable and confident. He gave me sense of comfort and trust the moment I saw him. Didn’t push me through any therapies and rather listened to me and became totally aligned with my preferred medication of choice.

THIS GUY IS THE WORST DOCTOR IN THE WORLD.
HE IS MONEY HUNGRY AND WILL PUT HIS PATIENTS THROUGH HELL TO INCREASE HIS POCKETS.
HE HAS TERRIBLE BEDSIDE MANNERS AND ONLY CALCULATES HIS PENSION AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR EGGS. IVF CANADA IS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST IVF CLINIC IN CANADA!

I am extraordinarily upset by Dr. Hadi and would never recommend him to anyone. My mother had a polyp removed by him and she ended up being diagnosed with cancer, but he never followed up with her (even after receiving the results for 15 days!!). She had to follow up with her family doctor to receive the terrible news.
Please stay away from this terribly incompetent doctor.

He has disappeared and never properly shared my medical records, years of records are gone and I can no longer get a hold of him. He never referred me to a new gynecologists, even though I have health problems that require one and his new office is impossible to reach. He didn’t listen to me and would often dismiss my concerns.

This man has terrible bedside manner, no knowledge of endometriosis despite somehow being an ASSISTANT PROFESSOR? at QUEENS?! crazy. this man was extremely pushy about me getting an IUD, gave me nothing prior to insertion (no painkillers, no cervix softener). Was always extremely rough with me, gaslit me for years and told me I was "too young" to have Endo. Upon the surgery day that I begged for, I was diagnosed with Endo but not debriefed or shown any evidence found during surgery. I was then later fired as a patient because I didn't "want kids" at 18 years old.
