    The problem is that he offloads his clients to a physiotherapist (Tamara Gotal) who exhibits agist and misogynistic behaviors. She never mentioned her title (unlike nurses). He did nothing at all. In and out within 2 minutes. And of course he refused to treat me. Toronto Western has degraded significantly in quality of care and etiquette. Please don't waste your time here. If I could afford it I would choose exclusively private health care.

    Dr Lau fused both my big toes, approximately 3 months apart, several years ago. Johnny, I rode my bike 59 miles today…no pain whatsoever. My friend, you gave me my life back. Many thanks to a true professional!! Vern Stenlund Windsor, Ontario
