I often waited over 3 hours, then he would not answer my questions, he was rude to his staff and he would barely acknowledge that I the patient was there. I think I would have been better off to stick with my family doctor. He would look at my skin condition and would simply say "just keep doing what you are doing." I do not need to waste so many hours of my day to hear absolutely nothing helpful.

As a current employee (for the time being) as I am sure that Dr. Gupta will be wrongfully dismissing me soon for voicing my opinions on his ethical practices regarding his patients, employees' and clinical trials. I feel that it is in the best interest of the patients to be warned ahead of time if you have not seen him yet. And this is a warning for anyone who is going to see him. He is not honest with treatments and will try to convince you that one of his clinical trials is your only option for treatment and it is not!!! He's more concerned with the money he will be making off of your treatment than with what treatment is BEST for you. Trust me. I know. Because I am losing my job over the fact that I am more concerned with the patients rights and needs. I firmly believe that Dr. Gupta needs to start following the ethical guidelines that not only regulate clinical trials but also patient care.

Being an expeditor since age 13, I know how to eliminate wait times in doctor's ofcs like Gupta's and was always seen within a few mins of my arrival, often ahead of time (scheduled appt). No, I'm not a doctor; and have never alleged being one to get preferential treatment. I have been Dr. Gupta's dermatology pt for over 20 yrs though and have consistently been very pleased with the services he provides. He's extremely knowledgable, rarely plays stupid, and has consistently been as helpful as possible, providing free samples of correct medications when he has them available, directing me to less expensive pharmacies, etc. More recently, he's moved to a better location where he also corrected his previously abominal patient scheduling practices, so now there aren't any more line-ups and overfilled waiting rooms. I would readily recommend him to anyone.

Perhaps the worst Dr. I have ever had the misfortune to see. I feel he set my case back by years in his quest for the almighty dollar. He was always late, rushed you through and seemed towant to experiment. One used nitrogen on my psoriasis, when I complained, he said, and I paraphrase, just wanted to see what it would do

I spent 4 to 5 hours waiting to see this doctor. He spent 3 to 4 minutes on my condition and the balance of the appointment trying to sell me crap! Worst doctor I have encountered!

This doctor is definitely there for the money. He was actually running through hallway yelling at the staff. Without any kind of greeting or even acknowledging that I am there he told me how much it would cost and to make an appointment for the procedure. NO THANK YOU!!!!!

Worst doctor my daughter & I have ever been to. Never on time, barely listens, insulting and condescending. Tries to sell expensive treatments not paid by OHIP that have nothing to do with why you are there. I have never been so angry in my life & was wondering who I could complain to. Thank you for this site. He had my daughter in tears & now she's reluctant to see another dermatologist for fear of being treated that way again. We went back to our family doctor & insisted on being referred to another dermatologist. We were told the waiting list was 8 months long, but went ahead with the referral & requested we be added to the cancellation list. That dermatologist's office started calling almost right away with offers for alternative appointment dates that were only a week away. Keep this in mind & don't be discouraged by an estimated lengthy waiting list. Don't agree to see Gupta just cause you'll get in sooner. It's not worth it. Try to see someone else that will give a damn.

I seeked help for several skin disorders for over 2 years , (with a referal from my family physician) and EACH time...waited at least 3-4 & sometimes 5 hours to be seen. EACH time...he didn't ask questions...Just simply Zapped my effected areas with Nitrous & Left the room. Usually screaming at the help (nurses and office staff) for something ! DOZENS of People would be standing in the waiting room ,(NO chairs left) waiting their turn ! I finally QUIT GOING, as my nerves were getting the best of me. SINCE not using the creams he prescribed...my skin condition seems better. Thank You...

My husband and I have both seen this doctor and we both had the same experience...horrible! He is indeed more concerned about looking at your toe nails than addressing what you came in for. After waiting for 2.5 hrs just to get into the examination room and another 40 min waiting there, he was completely rude to my husband when my husband refused to take off his shoes to examine his feet. My husband was there for something else entirely. He was rude to his staff and had no bedside manner what so ever. He just wants you to keep coming back so he can recieve the money from OHIP. Shame on him!

I get the feeling that he needs to rush to next patient without really taking the time to fully look at your chart to see what you were there for before.
