Dr Patel did both my hands for Carpal Tunnel syndrome, about 10 years ago, with total success and…read morenot a single problem since then. I opted for the invasive type of surgery (not the keyhole type) as the percentage of success was more important to me than a slight scar. Now the scars are almost invisible. Recently, my right ring finger developed what is called "trigger finger", where gripping causes the joint to snap shut but not open without help, and is very painful. Dr Patel suggested a cortisone shot first, to loosen the tendon in its sheath, then maybe surgery later. So far, so good. Hand and finger are behaving normally and I hope this will continue. I have nothing but praise for Dr Patel's work on my body parts, and would recommend his services. davidbailward@yahoo.com

Horrible. A truly bad Dr. in my opinion. Do not waste your time waiting for the referral to visit…read morethis guy, in my opinion. If your Dr. tries to refer you to Dr. Spittel, ask for another Dr. Want an exam. rm. that was cleaned after the previous patient? Not this guy. Want a Dr. that won't take a call on the speakerphone regarding another patient in front of you? Not this guy. Want a Dr. that will sit down w/ you and listen to you for at least 10 mins. and come up w/ a plan to fix your problem? Not this guy. Avoid this guy, if you can. Don't waste your time.

Dr. Sommi was our Pitt Meadows family Doctor, until we left about 10 years ago…read more I don't think I can ever thank Dr. Sommi enough, and his helpmate by the office phone. I later learned that her name is Nosheen. It was Nosheen that answered my call. I told her about our family trauma, that I was a former patient. I was desperate for help. She responded with such great care and real concern.  Her warm kindheartedness, gave me much needed consolation right away. I did not expect such relief right then. She comforted me with assurances I did not ask for. She said Dr. Sommi would call me very soon. I am so grateful to her for easing my burdens the way she did. She is more than wonderful. Dr. Sommi's phone call did wonders for my well being. Just hearing Dr. Sommi's voice on the phone, was a saving grace. He took away my pain and heart ache. That phone call restored my faith in mankind. Dr. Sommi gave me hope. He was there when I needed him.  The compassion of Dr. Sommi and Nosheen truly saves people.

Dr Sommi has been my family doctor for my entire life and I plan to keep it that way for as long as…read morehe's practising. He's an extremely caring and patient doctor, and he's very thorough. He cares about who you as a person and as a member of your family, as well as taking care of you as a patient. He likes to know what you're doing in life and what your plans are, and you can tell he wants to know the big picture. It's not uncommon for him to call you at home (on his weekends, no less) after he's sent you to a specialist to see how you're doing and make sure everything's going as well as it can. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking out a family doctor.

This clinic has changed their name to Safa Medical Clinic. My family sees Dr. Demian most often and…read morehave seen Dr. Rezazeda several times. The wait times are very, VERY long; I have had to wait to see someone for more than three hours. However, they will see both myself and my babies at the same time if I need them to. Also, they will let me bring up more than one concern at a time, i.e., a complaint like an illness or injury and an unrelated prescription refill. Some clinics make you come back another time for the second concern. Also, both Dr. Demian and Dr. Rezazeda are attentive and thorough. I have never felt dismissed or overlooked by either of them. So long wait times mean you also aren't rushed through your visit! I'm taking a star off for the cramped, overheated and dingy exam rooms.

If it weren't for the amazing Dr. Rezazeda, I would give this a 1 star. I love Dr. Rezazeda. He…read morealways makes me feel welcome and not at all rushed. The wait times are atrocious, even when you have an appointment. The clinic closes at 2pm, and even earlier when they have filled the patient quota for the day. And the women behind the counter are indifferent at best. Dr. Rezazeda has requested that the ladies up front book appointments for me at specialists on several occasions, but they almost never get it done. I waited months before finally going back and requesting tests for my wrist again.

Dr. Auersperg, a specialist, so you naturally expect a certain level of professionalism. A person…read morewho treats patients with respect without regard for their percieved station in life. Right? Wrong! When I entered his office and he shook my hand he indicated his intern (? ) and introduced him as his son though the young man was clearly not his son and was very uncomfortable by that reference. Can you say "awkward moment". Now I had arrived having just come from cleaning out my garage so I was wearing the most well used clothes I had After all its a dirty job so why would I wreck perfectly good clothes. He took one look at me and then took me across the hall to the exam room. He checked out the reason I was there then left the room with his intern and RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR he explained to him that the issue is common in "people like that who wear dirty clothes or don't bathe often enough" WTF? He returns from around the door and asks me "did you hear all that? " I simply nodded. I was at a complete loss for words! What kind of doctor would treat a patient in such an extremely condescending manner based on a presumption that that person is unclean? Disgraceful. If he had bothered to ask me any questions he would have found out I am a Project Manager for a large software company bringing home 6 figures. If you find yourself recommended to this doctor beg to be referred to another one, or, you better stop whatever you are doing, take the time to shower and put on your Sunday best, or you too could be filed under undesirables.

Thought I would give this place a chance being so close to home and all (and the fact that this is…read morethe one my GP referred me to) despite the reviews I have read - however, that was my first mistake; should've listened to mine and my partners gut. Reception staff wasn't terrible, despite their apathetic attitudes for the most part. I saw 4 out of the 5 doctors there, and 3 out of the 4 I saw weren't horrible. However, when I went in for my last appointment the doctor I saw this particular time pulled up the WRONG FILE for a completely DIFFERENT PATIENT! He was trying to tell me I had had tests done that I knew for a fact I hadn't. He broke all confidentiality laws by telling me this patients details under the pretense that they were my details. He also tried to prescribe me a medication that, had my partner not noticed it was the wrong file, could have been detrimental to my baby! Not to mention the COMPLETE LACK of professionalism when we pointed it out - he didn't even apologize! This poor other patient, he had entered completely wrong details in her file and told me those details. How unprofessional can you get? They can't even check they have the right patient? This is why hospitals and labs ask you your name and birthdate to DOUBLE CHECK! To top it all off, this doctor wouldn't even talk to me face to face, he spoke only to his computer and to my partner, who was sitting on the other side of the room. Completely and utterly unbelievably unprofessional and apathetic. I will NOT be returning and I recommend you don't make the same mistake I did. AVOID THIS PLACE! Don't put your baby in jeopardy because of convenience.
