Let me start by saying Dr. Desa is amazing. He has been a wonderful doctor to myself and my…read morehusband. I would give 5 stars, but the reception area brings it down. In the past month I have been told that because they forgot to charge me with something (even though I double checked before I left) that I would have to come back in and pay. They called my phone repeatedly, but every time I missed it and would call back, nobody would answer. I offered to pay during my next appointment, but apparently that was unacceptable. I told them there way no way I was driving in to pay because I was on some pretty heavy pain killers and can't walk or drive. Eventually, after arguing with them they attempted to run my credit card over the phone, it worked even though she was adamant it wouldn't work, low and behold it went through. Second time, basically the same thing, but now all of a sudden giving payment info over the phone doesn't go through. There's no concern, and it's always "you need to come in". No, you need to stop making mistakes and pushing me to fix them, especially because there's not really anywhere to park. There's a side street, but no guarantee it has somewhere open. I'm so frustrated with the receptionists I'm considering looking for another doctor. Too bad, Dr. Is the best.

I've been going to this family practice (& walk-in) since 2011 and the only thing that makes it not…read moreworthy of five stars is the ever cycling reception. They had two, recently, leave who were very competent, polite, and endearing workers who were good about their work and took it seriously, they didn't treat it as the in between work it was until they landed whichever medical reception job it was they wanted, or technician, etc. The current reception (as of the first week of August 2018) is disorganized and uninformative. I gave them all the information required of the patient the doctor was to be seeing, without being told the full scope of the process and that the patient could wind up not being seen at all due to the circumstances at hand. I wouldn't have brought this person along with me had I known this was a possibility, because I would have known the possibility would have been a reality and told this person to not bother right now - they are someone who just doesn't have $65 laying around so they can see a family doctor. It was very frustrating for me, as well, because I am not kin to this patient and the reception kept coming to me for information and talking to me and COMPLAINING to me about the situation as if I knew of and had control over what was going on. They were in breach of so many confidentiality agreements by speaking to me on all of these matters and yet this receptionist continued to berate me on the subject as I waited to go in for MY OWN doctor's appointment. Do not go to this clinic for walk-in purposes. Only go if your general practitioner is located here. Otherwise you're playing a game of Russian Roulette on what the reception is going to be like and who it's going to be and how they're going to (mis)treat you during your, hopefully, brief visit. The doctors, however, are fantastic people. It's unfortunate.

My review is an ode to my first family doctor, Dr Ivan G. C. Mark. His daughter, Dr Pamela Mark,…read morefollowed in his footsteps and they practised together for many years. I had Dr Pamela a few times when Dr Ivan wasn't available. She was competent, but she didn't have the same bedside manner as her father. Dr Ivan was my mom's family doctor when she immigrated to Toronto. He delivered me at Toronto East General (now Michael Garron) Hospital. I was fortunate to have him as my family doctor until I left Toronto and moved out west to Winnipeg. He always had a calm disposition and was a gentle soul. I stumbled upon this Facebook post by Fred Lee, which was fascinating and insightful about Dr Ivan: I was wondering if there are any plaques honouring Dr. Ivan Mark? Dr Mark I believe was the first ever Chinese Canadian admitted to a Canadian medical (U of T). His brother Fred was the 2nd one. When Dr Mark first qualified he started his family practice in Scarborough because his Chinese language skills he felt wasn't good enough to be practicing in Chinatown. He became our family doctor when we moved to Toronto in 1966. By then Dr Mark's Cantonese had improved to the point he felt comfortable taking on Chinese patients. I remember him telling me his new Chinese patients complaining about all the white people in his waiting room. In the mid 60s about 80% of his patients were not Chinese. Another memory was I went to a stag in my freshman year and after winning the first draw prize.....went to see Dr Mark next day. He gave me a shot of penicillin and a lecture. Dr Mark has delivered over 2000 babies. He stopped delivering babies after on his way to deliver a baby his car hit black ice and he did a 720 degrees spin luckily without any collision but his nerves were shot. His daughter Pamela became my doctor after Dr Mark passed on literally on the job. His wife and occasional receptionist was wondering why he was taking so long to call for his next patient. They looked in on him and he was unconscious. Pamela was there too and they revived him long enough for the family to say goodbye. I remember his wife, Barbara. She had an equally calm demeanor, which was much needed as a receptionist in a busy waiting room. It was indeed a family affair at a family clinic. Dr Ivan was a humble man. I miss him. I can still hear his voice during the various appointments that I had with him. These days, Dr Pamela works at Michael Garron Hospital. I did not see her name on the board when I passed by the clinic on the northwest corner of Danforth Avenue and Dawes Road. (255)
