I rarely ever give a 0 or 1 star but this Medical Clinic deserves it…read more Dr. Nagy Abdel Malak is simply awful. He is so unbelievably rude, doesn't listen, talks over you and is demeaning and insulting. I've never been spoken to this way by a physician. It was shocking. I'm a very friendly person (even if I am in pain) but he tore a strip off of me for no reason. I'm not sure if he's suffering from some kind of a cognitive issue but after seeing him many years ago vs recently, he's not the same person. He's downright mean. I read many of the Google reviews on Dr. Malak and 99% gave him a 1 star. The other 1% mostly talked about Dr. Toma who practices in the same office. Many of the complaints are incredibly long wait times, rude staff, rude doctors and the list goes on. I strongly urge anyone to avoid this clinic at all costs.

When I told him I had been coughing up pink phlegm and haven't had a voice for a week his reponse was you should go to your family doctor, what do you expect me to do? Kept interrupting me till I finally said are you going to let me speak and tell you what the problem is? He went on his knees and started bowing to me saying oh im sorry im sorry. What can i do for you? Asked if he could at least check my lungs as they were the source of the problem, was extremely rude, kept interrupting me and had to walk out. Went to another doctor the next day and was admitted to the hospital for a severe lung infection and COVID. This guy should not be practicing medicine. He does not listen to patients. He does not care about anyone that walks in and he clearly does not want to be working. Not to mention they only take cash because they likely aren't practicing legally since cash only at medical facilities is AGAINST THE LAW. Take this man's lisence away.

I thought that booking my first COVID-19 vaccination shot was trying. I ended up getting my first…read moreone in Schomburg, still a part of York region, but the most western part of it. I was grateful. I couldn't find anything closer to home. My second shot was booked at the same location in August. When Ontario changed its shot recommendations, I decided to move my second appointment up by two months. I couldn't find an appointment in York region that suited the conditions that I met. The best that I could get was an appointment in Orillia in mid-July! Thanks to Vaccine Hunters Canada, I managed to secure my second shot at MedCare Clinics @ Riverview Heights in Brampton. There weren't any location restrictions, although I am eligible to get an appointment in Peel region because I work there. This appointment reduced my travel time by more than half in terms of time and distance. The only downside that I can think of was booking my appointment through e-mail. The process was to send a message. I did to ask what days and times were available. I got a message saying that I could do a walk-in. I wanted a firm appointment. There were definitely more than one person handling the clinic's inbox. I got three different answers that confused me, but I ultimately asked that someone look at my last message with my answers to questions that were requested before an appointment was set. I finally got one secured. I had my appointment yesterday at 3 pm. It was straightforward getting there. It consisted of driving westbound along highway 401, exiting off at Mississauga Road, heading a bit north to Steeles, and driving a block more. There was construction in the parking lot. A lot of dust was blowing around thanks to a brisk wind. Despite some parking spots in front of the clinic that were blocked off, there was plenty of parking available. I parked and headed over to the main door. A man ushered three of us inside. MedCare and Guardian Drugs have separate main entrances. However, when you are inside, they are technically one seamless place without any barriers. I was handed a clipboard. I was asked to sit down, fill out both sides of the form, and then head over to reception. I got a new purple pen and had to take off that tiny little ball that protects the ink tip. I wanted to keep it because it was in my favourite colour, but I was good returning it after I was done. Chairs within the waiting area were nicely distanced from one another. I appreciated how clean and careful things were. I headed to the reception area and was greeted by an efficient and friendly woman. I handed my health card over. She looked at my completed form and asked me to take a seat. This place is highly efficient. It's a well-oiled machine. I don't think that I was sitting there for a couple of minutes when I was called into room 2 to get my vaccine shot. I got a lovely nurse, Damandeep, who administered my shot. She confirmed that I didn't have any COVID symptoms, I got my shot before May 9, and more. She let me know what the side effects were that I may experience after getting my shot. She was professional and even did a countdown before the jab happened. She was great and had a great shot technique. The coolest part of this experience was sitting outside for the mandatory fifteen minutes afterwards. It was such a sunny, warm day. I liked that we were all sitting distanced from one another and we didn't have to touch any doors once our time was up. My first shot had us all sitting inside an arena. Being outside this time was an unexpected, nice change. I had an excellent experience here. I wish that I lived closer, as it's a walk-in clinic that felt relaxed and professional. Like my first shot, I currently have a sore arm. I am fortunate that my shot side effects are negligible. This clinic is located in a large plaza with eateries and businesses. A Tim Hortons anchors it. I didn't get a sticker after getting my shot, but I did get myself a donut at Timmy's... haha! (249)

Among the most interesting non-profit sites I've visited in Brampton…read more Community Door Brampton is certainly an interesting place, which presented an experience I hadn't expected. It may not look like it at first glance, but this building hosts at least ten offices for various non-profit groups that operate out of Peel, including Volunteer MBC (Mississauga/Brampton/Caledon), the Peel HIV/AIDS Network, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, a United Way Greater Toronto branch office and other agencies. They're also spread out through the building, so you have to walk to the back to access some of them. I say that the visit was a unique experience because, whether due to my existing volunteer/community work or my role as a writer and editor, a number of people in there knew me by a first-name basis, despite the fact that I'd never visited the site before and didn't know half the people who greeted me. The level of service presented to me on that day was very unusual to me. On this day, I was visiting a reception that was jointly held with a number of agencies. Though small, they had quite the impressive spread of food and a number of silent auction items that had been donated by agencies and businesses throughout the GTA and beyond. I wound up sticking around for the presentations, which were given to recognize outstanding volunteers who had made a difference in the lives of the less-fortunate throughout the region. I also enjoyed some stimulating conversation with a good friend of mine, who asked me whether my prominence in the community was due to my job or my personal brand as a community advocate. Definite food for thought. Community Door is certainly worth a look, as it offers a number of services including employment help and resource connections. (Fun fact: If you visit the Volunteer MBC office, keep a look out for the Charter of Volunteerism and look in the lower-left corner - my signature is there!) Well-recommended and a great community destination.
