When I called back after trying to re-arrange my rides they accused me of being rude and swearing. I did hang-up on them. Do seniors really need to be bullied and pushed to the end of the line?

I'm leaving this review so future patients can make a fully informed decision before choosing this…read moreclinic. My experience with Canada Vein Clinics (Toronto location) was extremely disappointing and stressful. From my first consultation through multiple procedures and follow-ups, I felt that what was promised did not match what I actually experienced. A procedure that was described as painless was, for me, extremely painful. Over time, my symptoms worsened rather than improved, despite repeated reassurances. I was advised to undergo additional procedures without feeling that all options or risks were clearly explained. Communication was poor, including long delays and confusion around something as basic as my compression stocking prescription. One scheduled procedure was cancelled due to an error during needle insertion, which resulted in months of additional waiting and disruption. I continue to experience numbness, tingling, pressure, and discomfort in my leg, even after multiple vein closures, despite being told these symptoms would resolve. Given the financial cost, along with the physical and emotional toll, I do not feel I received the level of care or coordination that was promised. I've cancelled all future appointments and am seeking a second medical opinion. I strongly encourage anyone considering treatment here to ask very detailed questions, seek another opinion, and make sure you fully understand the risks and possible outcomes before proceeding.

It's as frustrating as an app that hides their cancelation button. I understand the approach for a normal for profit business but not for a clinic. we moved to a normal clinic where you can email them directly and /or call if you have questions; basic interaction is all we wanted. Hopefully Magenta can change their approach; it's not the pandemic anymore

In the past month I have been told that because they forgot to charge me with something (even though I double checked before I left) that I would have to come back in and pay. They called my phone repeatedly, but every time I missed it and would call back, nobody would answer. I offered to pay during my next appointment, but apparently that was unacceptable. I told them there way no way I was driving in to pay because I was on some pretty heavy pain killers and can't walk or drive. Eventually, after arguing with them they attempted to run my credit card over the phone, it worked even though she was adamant it wouldn't work, low and behold it went through. Second time, basically the same thing, but now all of a sudden giving payment info over the phone doesn't go through. There's no concern, and it's always "you need to come in". No, you need to stop making mistakes and pushing me to fix them, especially because there's not really anywhere to park. There's a side street, but no guarantee it has somewhere open. I'm so frustrated with the receptionists I'm considering looking for another doctor. Too bad, Dr. Is the best.

I've been going to this family practice (& walk-in) since 2011 and the only thing that makes it not…read moreworthy of five stars is the ever cycling reception. They had two, recently, leave who were very competent, polite, and endearing workers who were good about their work and took it seriously, they didn't treat it as the in between work it was until they landed whichever medical reception job it was they wanted, or technician, etc. The current reception (as of the first week of August 2018) is disorganized and uninformative. I gave them all the information required of the patient the doctor was to be seeing, without being told the full scope of the process and that the patient could wind up not being seen at all due to the circumstances at hand. I wouldn't have brought this person along with me had I known this was a possibility, because I would have known the possibility would have been a reality and told this person to not bother right now - they are someone who just doesn't have $65 laying around so they can see a family doctor. It was very frustrating for me, as well, because I am not kin to this patient and the reception kept coming to me for information and talking to me and COMPLAINING to me about the situation as if I knew of and had control over what was going on. They were in breach of so many confidentiality agreements by speaking to me on all of these matters and yet this receptionist continued to berate me on the subject as I waited to go in for MY OWN doctor's appointment. Do not go to this clinic for walk-in purposes. Only go if your general practitioner is located here. Otherwise you're playing a game of Russian Roulette on what the reception is going to be like and who it's going to be and how they're going to (mis)treat you during your, hopefully, brief visit. The doctors, however, are fantastic people. It's unfortunate.

Someone just finished at the check-in, so they attended me after 30 secs. The check-in process only took about 1 min. There is a computer monitor showing the patients and approximate wait time, including anyone with an appointment; there was one patient scheduled at 08:15. There are 4 cubicles. Cubicle 4 has a door that closes and has a medical bed. I was asked to go into cubicle 4 at 08:24. The technician started at 08:29. I finished at 08:32. I was told that Saturdays are their busiest day but starting at 10:00. I'm glad I came early. There were three technicians, one of whom handled the reception. There is a fourth person who seems to only do administration. The lab is wheelchair accessible.There is no free WiFi. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-381

I have been taking my nonagenarian father to see Dr. Anup Gupta here for many years. I have found…read morethe reception staff courteous and helpful, the technicians more skilled than some I've seen in hospitals (especially when performing echocardiography on a patient with severe pectus excavatum), and Dr. Gupta himself a reassuring clinician with a conservative approach to medicine. Depending on the day, he also has clinics in Scarborough and at Michael Garron, so it's easy to see him in a hurry if you need to. One tip for patients: this is one of those clinics that books multiple patients for the same time, then sees them in order of arrival, so it's best to arrive a little before your appointment time. Street parking is usually easy to find immediately in front of the clinic during operating hours, and is of course free with a handicapped placard.

This place needs to understand that they are a medical office and NEED TO CHANGE THIER ADDRESS. It…read moresays 133 Danforth Ave on all their appt sheets and brochures. It is the WRONG ADDRESS! The ACTUAL address is 837 Danforth Ave. When I brought it to the receptionist attention she did not even acknowledge the mistake or even apologize for sending me to the wrong address. I've never come across a medical institution that was so unprofessional. We pay for proper medical care the least they could do is take a sharpie and cross out the wrong address. To think these people are dealing with patients regarding serious health issues is a bit uneasy. Definitely will be reporting this to the Health Board.

WTF?? I asked him if he thought it was reasonable that I would continue checking their website while riding my bike there and he just stared at me blankly. I mentioned if they state they are open till 5, they should be open till 5 and not close when they feel like it. Needless to say I did not get treated.
