I brought my mom to see the ENT (ear-nose-throat) medical doctor. My mom has been having hearing…read moreproblems. My mom said Dr. Lo was the rudest doctor she has ever met and is only interested in seeing as many patients as possible and pushing $1000 hearing aid products. For most doctors, you have to wait a long time to be seen. But for this one, you were rushed in and out the door in a blink of an eye! OK, maybe an exaggeration. My mom got tested by an assistant in a small enclosed booth, the size of a phone booth (if you've ever seen one of those!). Then she saw the doctor for 5 mins! The doctor asked my mom to say "ah" and looked in her mouth. Then she declared my mom was deaf and pushed the hearing aids she was selling. She said everyone over the age of 60 is deaf. My mom didn't get to speak much. Since my mom refused to buy the hearing aid after a 4-min investigation, she was hurried out. My mom didn't realize that one of her neighbours has also see Dr. Lo had had the same experience. OHIP pays doctors by the number of patients they see. The general rule is 15 mins per patient but OHIP doesn't care if you see three times more patients per day than normal. The doctor's clinic is in the Niagara Health Centre. See my separate review for that place. Review 2023-115
