My mother was a patient at Runnymede Healthcare Centre this past summer. While she was excited to…read morehave her rehabilitation at this state-of-the-art facility, she encountered less than standard care with her personal hygiene needs. She developed a bedsore, became ill and was transferred back to hospital. While the excellent care provided in Hospital healed her infection, and started to heal her bedsore, she decided to enter into palliative care. She was able to transition to her home to spend her last days amongst those she loved. Our advice is for the family to be questioning, present as much as possible and insist on being given the specific medical information about their loved one's health. The nursing staff for the most part is excellent, as are the O.T./PT.'s. Clearly there was a lapse in patient observations being documented, communicated and acted upon.

He had the audacity to ask my aunt "who are you?" The more appropriate question to ask would be "How are you related to this patient?" Not "who are you?" No buddy...who the f are you?! Pfft. It's not just about the customer service, it's also the lack of attention and care to patients. Avoid this place if you can, you're better off elsewhere.

Appletree Medical Group USED to be really good, but now all services are just "OK". IMO many…read morethings including organization, administration, efficiency, management, etc, but most importantly HEALTH CARE, has gone DOWN HILL. Additionally, for simple Blood Sugar/Pressure Tests, for which readings were immediate, I was forced to ask the results THREE TIMES. Why didn't they just tell me on the first try? Also AGREE with other reviewers posting that NOW Appletree doctors tend to be dismissive, rushed, & don't really take much "interest" in patients' health, needs, questions, etc. The majority of them are indian. Saw Doctor Sarne for almost a DECADE - he knows not only my History & Record but also ME - so why will Appletree *NEVER* tell me what happened to Dr Sarne like "what's his NEW location", "did he retire", etc? Isn't Appletree LEGALLY OBLIGATED to disclose this info? Finally, around 1/2 dozen times, I repeatedly requested a prescription renewal for something OTHER THAN Metformin coz it's been linked to cancer. They could have EASILY just prescribed Rybelsus? What's Appletree's response to this? I "need to have a Family Doctor"!! So many people & doctors, staff, management, and even the agents answering the phone at Appletree are ALL seriously dumb!! They're probably scamming OHIP.

I hate this clinic. It's so infuriating how rude and dismissive the male doctors are here. I've…read moreseen 3 different ones here and they just do not care. I wanted to talk about a blood clotting gene I have and BC pills and one of them wasn't even concerned at all. Despite that being something you have to mention as a risk factor. Doesn't believe I have the gene when I show him dna tests sends me to a hospital to be tested and the dr there says they don't really test for it and they lose my results. The dr will not call the other or the hospital and find out what happened and I don't know what to do. Another refused to let me have blood tests for b12 and vitamin D despite showing him previous blood tests I had paid for myself that I was already deficient in one and borderline with the other. He told me I looked healthy and he's not concerned! I had to beg and insist and finally got labs back I was deficient in b12 Just left tonight I showed up at 5:30pm and was told they have no space for new patients and come back from 7-9pm when walk ins are open again. I come back for 7:15pm and the kiosks aren't taking new people. I said I needed a prescription for an antifungal that I had from another doctor and was going away on a trip soon and needed it before I went. And the receptionist said the doctor will not see you. Despite me saying the name of what I wanted and why and that I had walked here twice and no other place was open and I don't drive. They just sent me away and the only exception would be if I had a bladder infection or needed a BC prescription renewal that's it. They told me to go find a clinic by the airport. These people do not care whatsoever. Thanks Dr Shivji.

I needed refills, and she went on & on as if she was investigator or psychiatrist. She didn't stop at asking what was my stress lately but was asking very weird questions as if she wanted to induce specific answers. I told her about harassment & discrimination by York University staff as a retaliation after I pointed out on their unethical hiring, unethical practices, & mistreatment of PhD students at the PhD in HRM. Then, she tried to convince me I need to see a psychiatrist for telling her that which gaslighting resembles the York U staff when a students points out on wrongdoings as they can't stand criticism. She said that she watches a TV show (Love & B....).. to diagnose people with disorders. Yet, she mentioned some concepts & it was clear to me she doesn't know much from that filed. She seemed confused as if she is a psychiatrist when it was clear from her comments that she doesn't even know basic stuff about some disorders (I have a degree in Psych & studied Abnormal Psych). She said she will only give me refills for two weeks & I must see her again to see if she needs to send me to a psychiatrist. This reminded me of the time in history when women were sent in asylum because someone was prejudiced or didn't like them. I have never had such experience with a medical doctor before. She was very professional & her (mis)conduct) disturbing. Her God syndrome that she is knowledgeable in psychiatry when she is not - says that she needs re-evaluation (she is older with all white hair).

I also really love the kiosk check in option as it's a more confidential way of informing the receptionist the reason for your visit.

Bloor Street: The staff are very nice and helpful. The clinic itself is the size of a dentist room very SMALLLL. This clinic is different as they ALLOW YOU to bring someone in for support while the Mississauga Queensway location DOES NOT. I preferred the does not clinic for that because it is empty , quiet and only people who are getting the procedure/clinic workers are there to aid you. All about preference. This one is so CRAMPED THAT THE ROOM WHERE THEY DO THE ABORTION IS SMALLER THAN MY WALK-IN CLOSET!!!!!! It is way TO SMALL OF A CLINIC. It is quite outdated and tight. But the staff are very kind and helpful. The largest room is the room where the women rest after the vacuum/surgical procedure. This one gave me an anxiety attack after with how tight, small and the amount of people they allow in the waiting room. Mississauga/Queensway: They do not rush you in any way, very large space for the operation/waiting room, it's quiet, very accommodating staff. The only downside I will say is the INTERNAL-ULTRASOUND TECH here is WAYYYY to aggressive with the wand in how deep and strong she inserts it. This ONE DOES FANTASTIC WORK!!!!! *** For Reference I got the procedure in Mississauga in the September of 2018 and the Bloor West Procedure in June 2019.

I…read moredrove 1 hour and 40 minutes with my 3-month-old baby to get to an appointment I had waited months for with Dr K. Turchin. I have called multiple times for an appointment and she is either away or fully booked. For this appointment I arrived 12 minutes late, and was told by the office General Manger -Gary-the doctor refused to see me because there was "no time between appointments" -- not even enough time to step in and say hello. As I stood there, still in the office, they promptly e-mailed me a $40 missed appointment fee notice -- while making no effort to offer support, reschedule, or show any understanding of the situation. I had clearly gone out of my way to be there, doing my absolute best under difficult circumstances -- and was treated like an inconvenience instead of a patient. Policies are understandable, but enforcing them with zero flexibility or compassion -- especially in healthcare -- is unacceptable. New mothers, or any patients, deserve better than cold bureaucracy and a complete lack of empathy. What's even more disappointing is knowing that my doctor supports this policy. I expected more understanding and care from someone I trusted with my health. Sadly, this experience has made it clear that this is not a practice I can continue with -- I'll be finding a new doctor who values patient care over rigid scheduling. This was more than just a frustrating experience -- it was demoralizing. I sincerely hope this office and it's doctors reconsiders how it treats people, because no one deserves to be dismissed like this after making such an effort to prioritize their health and their child.
