When you take the stairs beside Starbucks, the first clinic you see once you hit the 2nd floor is the one you're looking for. It's not clear because they share space with Kore Chiropractic - you know you're in the right place if you see the Kore logo. When you pass through the doors, the Kore receptionist is on the left and the medical clinic receptionist is on the right. I've only been there once so far, but I didn't have any issues with either of the receptionists I dealt with as opposed to other reviews. I even had a good laugh with one of them about how the office was hard to find. Dr. Cubra was amazingly kind. I felt a little bit rushed, but who can blame GPs for their time constraints. And he was admittedly patient with all my questions, even those I asked him as he was on his way out the door. After meeting with him, I felt I was finally on my way to a solution for my shoulder pain. Thanks, Dr. Cubra!

Dr. Jordan Sugie and his dermatologist will scam the government by submitting something that was unnecessary given I had the prescription many times in the past. Every time I have an appointment with this clinic they are rude. Sugie rude and so is the dermatologist who are colluding together against the government and us the taxpayers ultimately. So what they are doing is charging the government of Canada extra unnecessary charges and scamming tax payers.

I explained to him that i am in a lot of pain and needed a referral for a specialist. He said the doctor will call you tomorrow. So I cleared my schedule and waited. 30 minutes pass from the time the doctor was suppose to call and nothing. I called the office and no one was picking up, or it would go straight to voicemail. After some back and forth, the doctor finally called and she told me that I can't give referral until I see you in person. That's understandable, but the guy I called initially didn't mention this at all. So I wasted my entire day because the idiot from the office doesn't respect my time or the condition I was in, either that or he isn't as informed as he should be... Had he told me from the beginning that you'll probably need to be seen for a referral and that won't happen until September-ish I would've been more understanding and went to an ER instead, but that didn't happen instead I was needlessly in pain for 2 extra days.

There must be plenty of unemployed people with personalities out there who would gladly smile and make a patient feel welcome.

We are new, I asked lady to tell me her name she told do whatever you want. So I am just writing this review so that people or doctors must know how there staff is behaving with patient. Staff is made to help not to shout on them. Even I work for customer services we handle customers pateintly and guide them properly , we dont shout like this. And we cam with a hope.

The doctor I had for yearsretired and her patients were assigned to a doctor here. I have worked in doctor's offices and the only people more incompetent than the staff are the doctors. Staff (that they are inusufferably rude goes without saying): 1. They never answer the phones and their phone menu is long and incomprehensible. I have waitied for up to 3 hours and no one ever picked up. The only way to book an in person appointment is by going to the clinic, and the only availability is for a telephone appointment. When I finally did get an appointment during Covid I waited online in the office for 20 minutes, when I reached the rude receptionist, I was told I was 4 minutes late and I would have to reschedule. I thought she was joking, so I laughed, 'Next', was her reply! 2. They lost my chart, well, really only most of it, but it was probably in storage. They only had a month out 40 years. Hmmm and how is this storage area sorted? This is the kind of place that could forget someone in an exam room and find them dead the following week. 3. One question per appointment. They cut you off, if you try to skirt this rule. You can book online for telephone appointments. 4. The doctor assigned to me is appropriately named Dr.Ho. When I am lead to the examining, I pass Dr.Ho and more than once I have seen him playing a computer game. The other exam room is empty. Still I wait 20 minutes for him to walk 20 feet to my exam room. 5. The first time I met Dr.Ho, was following a trip to the emergency room. The results of my pain and subsequent scan had not yet been shared with me. I was discharged to my family doctor. I watched as he read through the report and pronounced "Oh my God it's huge," he held up his hands like he was holding a small watermelon and sort of grinned. I had no idea what he was talking about. "What's huge?" I said. "What is IT?" I asked. "Oh," he said distractly, as he continued to look at his screen. "I guess it's an ovarian tumor?" At that moment I wanted to get up and leave but I needed medication. I looked at him and said, "I know your pretty new, but you have to work on your bedside manner." He gave me a pain script and said to call if Cancer Canada didn't get in touch. I walked out in a daze, I didn't know what to think. Was I going to die? He gave me a script for over a hundred pain meds (wouldn't get away with that these days) and I waited. The good news it was benign, the bad news was that I spent 2 weeks in utter terror until I had surgery. I will outline the various problems I have had during my many telephone appointments: -Zero compassion and frequent scolding for trying to slip in one more thing. -Googling as you speak and not having a modicum of knowlege about basic things that even I, a civilian know about. -Failing to prepare for appointments, by reading notes ahead. -Being so stupid that he told me I had Somatoform Syndrome (his opinion) which is a psychiatric condition in which you invent symptoms, ya know, like heart attacks and multiple fractures because he refused to give me medicine for osteoporosis, despite my having been on it when I lived in the states. I've broken 12 bones in 2 years as a result. -Calling 3 metatarsal fractures midfoot, that kept me in a cast for 2 months, my broken toes. -Failure to refer, which I have only found out when I end up showing up for an appointment with a specialist. -Failure to call in prescriptions. Especially concerning when you have vivid pain such as a broken bone. Or telling you he can't give you any more pain pills and that I should try biofeedback. If someone has had success with biofeedback to treat the pain associated with a broken hip, I'd be shocked. I'm 66, if I was going to be a junkie I would have started earlier and I shouldn't have to beg when I hurt. -Failure to call on a scheduled appointment or, calling hours after the appointment. -Calling the next day, when you had an appointment the day before and then telling you it's your fault. Or better calling the next day when you spoke to him the day before and he didn't remember. -Reading his opinion directly from the Google page I already have up on my computer. I have lived in many countries, including this one before it was sold to the highest bidder. Build the infrastructure, ya know, like healthcare, before you invite the world to come. I can't tell you how many times I've been behind someone in emergency who is a sponsored grandmother, who has just arrived from India, speaks zero English and has never seen a doctor. As a former resident of the US, who always had very good insurance, which I paid dearly for, I defended Canadian Healthcare until I'm blue in the face. On my 65 birthday I received my Medicare card from the US, I guess I'll use it.

I went into the Kerrisdale Medical this morning about 9:00. I have used this clinic previously. The…read morereceptionist was very pleasant and gave me a 10:30 appointment. I went back in time and was taken in at 10:40. My hearing in my left ear was very poor and likely was a wax issue. Dr. Nicholas Steinberg saw me and confirmed minor wax in my right ear and wax blockage in my left ear. He offered two options and I chose flushing with water. Dr. Steinberg flushed out my left ear and removed all of the wax. My hearing was fully restored. He also gave me instructions to put oil in my right ear as he did not recommend flushing it because the amount of wax was small. I was very pleased with the friendly approach by the receptionist, getting a fairly quick appointment, the lady who showed me to the room and Dr. Steinberg. I will most certainly continue to use this clinic for drop in issues such as today's. Barry M.
