    NEVER EVER NEVER COME HERE THEY ARE EXTREMELY UN-PROFESSIONAL AND YOU WILL BE TREATED WITH DISRESPECT AND ATTITUDE, background info about me, I'm 20 years old with pains in my body and I suffer from mental health problems. SO I had an appointment at 4pm yesterday November 18th 2020, I was asked to fill out some paper work and as soon as i finished, I sit down and wait roughly 30 minutes, after another 15 minutes I kindly ask the secretary how long the doctor might be because i have an appointment at 5:30 she tells me with attitude that I should give at least one hour between appointments, (which I did) and tells me its not her problem . then after I call my father to tell him I'm going to be a bit longer so he comes up to check on me because he knows these situations don't do well with my mental health, and he asked the secretary how long it might be because I had an appointment, she responds again with attitude and says that this is not her problem and for us to speak with the doctor, she then gets frustrated leaves to call the doctor and the doctor comes out and says "do we have a problem here". my father respectfully says that he was not expecting that kind of attitude from a "medical professional" and the doctor karasik again with attitude says "sometimes I take long sometimes I don't, I'm not busy now so do you want to be seen or not ? " so my father and I decided this was extremely unprofessional, rude and had affected my mental health that day and we left. NEVER COME HERE YOU WILL BE TREATED WITH DISRESPECT AND ATTITUDE ASK FOR A DIFFERENT DOCTOR THAT IS ACTUALLY A PROFESSIONAL” I would like to note that due to this I have still not been able to see a doctor i had a baby and am now way worse than I was when I first went to get help. This is unfair for Canadians that want to get help and get told this is the best guy out there when he’s not, there are other doctors that do the same thing he does and probably with a better attitude and patient care
