Sure ok I'll break the ice here being " no stranger to danger''…read more I have the dreaded hiatus hernia and went in yesterday for day one of the two day '' Esophageal Manometry and 24-hour ph monitoring tests'' First off there is a receptionist and a cramped little 5-6 chair waiting room. Dr. Dong ( An Asian man probably in his early 60's ) comes in about 20 minutes late and calls me into a small back room with a desk for him and a chair for me. my first impression is Dong is very robot-like in his nature showing no emotion or personality what so ever. his list of questions was read off like I was being interviewed by a computerized program, but whatever I'm here to successfully conclude an endeavour regardless of the Doc.'s demeanour. from here we went into the bigger procedure room, where I was met with a lady at a computerized terminal. and my seat beside her. The lady was quite nice and did exhibit a rather pleasant and caring personality as well as being very competent in doing her part in the procedure. Dr. Dong continued to be emotionless and not saying anything but commands which was a bit weird but staying focused... The whole procedure went off without a hitch... It felt uncomfortable at times but painless so easily tolerable. My leaving impression was if I rate this on quality of professionalism and competency I guess it was first class. Bottom line; They got this done quick, efficient ...and painless now it is the following day and I go back in 3 hours to get the ''24-hour monitor'' taken out ... and get back on the Dexilant

A few comments that hopefully will provide feedback to this business…read more The website said that the wait time was 30 mins. When I arrived I was told 40 mins. I got to see the physician after an hour and a half, and was smartly told upon asking again, after an hour wait, that patients with appointments take priority over walk-ins. Staff seemed to feel it was an intrusion to be asked how long it would take. An odd attitude since the business itself seems to think that wait times are important enough to patients to put an estimate on their website - albeit a totally inaccurate estimate. It would be immensely helpful for there to be wifi access in the waiting are so people can use their time effectively. This business might also consider allowing patients access to their physician's note over the web.

It was later in the day and was told the appointments were all booked but I could come in and possibly wait a half hour. I went in and only waited a few minutes.

I waited about 20 minutes from my appointment time and in all fairness, I booked it 10 minutes before. I booked a 12:05pm appointment at about 11:50am. I got to see the doctor around 12:25pm. Very professional, courteous and as mentioned went smoothly. High recommended for basic healthcare that doesn't need a physical doctors exam.

Dr Dhillon at the Guildford location has to be the worst doctor I have ever met. First, she never…read moreasked me any questions, and when she did ask a question, she addressed it to my husband; as if I am some feebleheaded woman who can't speak for themselves. She then prescribed a medication, without asking of any underlining issues I may have; which did play a huge factor in the side effects of this medication. When I asked to get a full blood panel requisition, she denied and told me I didn't need it, again, no additional question as to WHY I may want this. When I told her I was in active miscarriage, she ignored that fact, and requested no follow up questions. Then, she just walks out.. not only the worst doctor, but her bedside manor was atrocious. You could have been laying there with a broken leg, and felt like she would have spit at you and call you a liar.

Battery…read moreof repetitive blood tests, still more chest X-rays, multiple breathing tests (why should there ever be more than one?) - no further ahead. Treatment consisting of ineffectual, previously rejected puffers actually made me worse. Prompted initiation of emergency 5-day Prednisone course prescribed previously by GP, thank goodness. Called doc for advice when Prednisone didn't work hoping to prevent visit to ER. Zero response. Nada. Either staff failed to pass along msg or doc ignored. As a result, ended up at ER, where attending doc gave shaming lecture: 'WHY don't you have a respirologist? Not an allergist - a respirologist! Are you stupid... etc.' ER docs don't grasp that consumers have NO control over the specialists who treat us. It's as if the law of battery doesn't exist in Canada. Hoped ER doc might make referral to respirologist. No such luck. That would be too easy. Just shaming lecture, another round of Prednisone and decongestant that actually worked unlike Dr. Wadi's. No idea how Dr. W made it through medical school. This is someone who has to be told repeatedly patient does not have a medical degree, please use plain English. Similarly told more than once to refrain from abbreviations not meaningful to anyone without medical expertise. This is someone who during clinic visit turns her computer screen to face the patient as if patient w/o medical training should read and interpret our own medical test results! Clerical support too inept to perform even the perfunctory task of obtaining patient's records from GP without intervention from patient! Gallingly, doc actually complained to patient about treatment protocols, which are determined not by patient but by her licensing body. Surely it is the responsibility of each doc to understand, argue against and, if necessary, overcome obstacles to treatment when it's in patient's interest to do so! Had I not pleaded a persuasive case to GP to obtain consult with respirologist Dr. Wadi likely would have continued billing multiple visits no matter how clearly ineffectual and even harmful her treatment proved. Formal complaint to the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons to follow for preventable visit to ER in breathing distress. Maybe Dr. W is competent with easily identified food allergies - milk, gluten, etc., the low-hanging fruit of allergy practice - maybe, but never for a respiratory matter - NEVER. And never for any illness for which time may be of the essence. This is a doc who would rather apologize to your family when you die a preventable death rather than risk pleading with overseers for a more qualified expert approach.
