Dr Buckley is one of the worst urologist in Canada ,I don't recommend him to anyone ,based on…read morethe very bad experience that we had with him.He was seeing my husband for 13 years ,the reason for my husband's first visit was because he had hematuria,Dr Buckley diagnosed him at that time with benign enlarged prostate,he started treating him with Avodart since 2002,the gross heavy haematuria continued to happen during the years,my husband was smoker and smoking is a common risk factor for causing bladder cancer, Bladder cancer is 2-6 times more common in smokers than in non-smokers. Most bladder cancers occur in people over the age of 50 and above,Bladder cancer is about three times more common in men than in women ,Bladder cancer most commonly presents with symptoms of hematuria (blood in the urine), either visible or microscopic . It may also cause irritative lower urinary tract symptoms including urgency, frequency, discomfort with urinating, and incontinence.Despite all these symptoms Dr. Buckley kept his focus on the prostate,the PSA count kept increasing over the years and the prostate doubled it's size,still he did not do anything.Last year my husband's health started to deteriorate ,he visited his family doctor on the month of May because he had a heavy gross hematuria ,the MD started treating him with antibiotics thinking of urine tract infection, two months after things started to go worse he was seen by Dr. Buckley,first time he did cystoscopy without biopsy and he couldn't see any thing,after one week he did another cystoscopy / biopsy with full anesthesia,and after my husband was done with the procedure he comes to tell us that the case is bladder cancer stage IV which already metastasized out to the lymph nodes.
I am sharing this story with other patients so they maybe become aware and never put their trust in one person,always seek second opinion,the fact that he was the head of the urology department made us trust him 100%.Last November my husband passed away after four months difficult battle with bladder cancer.
