I've
debated
posting
this
review
for
a
while,
mainly
because
of
the
fact
that
without
this
clinic
I
wouldn't
have
had
free
access
to
medical
care
over
the
last
6
months.
Nevertheless
my
insurance
has
kicked
in
now
so
I
think
it's
worth
voicing
the
experiences
I've
had.
Quite
Frankly
my
view
on
medical
care
has
always
been
that
it's
just
as
social
as
it
is
practical,
but
not
once
have
I
walked
into
this
clinic
and
been
treated
like
a
human
being.
*Maybe*
with
the
exception
of
a
lovely
doctor
that
treated
a
skin
infection
I
had
-
but
other
than
that
most
of
the
doctors
in
this
facility
have
barely
even
looked
me
in
the
eye
when
speaking
to
me.
I
understand
working
as
a
doctor
must
be
stressful
especially
as
these
doctors
work
in
the
nearby
hospital
too
but
I'd
argue
that
if
you
fail
to
acknowledge
that
the
person
you're
prescribing
medications
to
is
a
PERSON
with
concerns
and
emotions
then
you're
not
doing
your
job
properly.
My
mother,
who
also
went
to
this
clinic
and
has
trouble
with
English
has
been
cut
off
mid
sentence
multiple
times,
prescribed
$700
sleep
studies
without
the
discussion
of
*why*,
been
refused
a
discussion
on
a
separate
symptom
and
we
have
both
shared
stories
about
how
dismissive
the
doctor's
are
at
this
facility.
It's
like
they
want
to
get
rid
of
you
as
soon
as
possible.
The
worst
instance
I
had
was
with
a
blonde
female
doctor.
I
had
gone
to
get
my
eyes
checked
as
I
was
having
trouble
seeing
and
after
referring
me
to
an
optometrist
I
figured
I
would
ask
her
if
she
knew
for
how
much
longer
this
service
would
remain
free.
She
decided
to
mention
"that
she
wasn't
happy
with
still
having
to
treat
non-OHIP
patients
for
free
post
COVID"
straight
to
my
face
(a
non-OHIP
patient).
Yes,
because
my
privilege
of
being
able
to
access
medical
care
without
going
into
credit
card
debt
is
such
an
inconvenience
for
her,
a
doctor
that
makes
hundreds
of
thousands.
It's
really
disappointing
because
quite
frankly
as
someone
who
aspires
to
study
medicine
I
could
NEVER
imagine
treating
my
patients
so
dismissively
and
with
such
a
superiority
complex.
Being
a
doctor
is
not
just
recieving
symptoms
and
diagnosing
-
it's
being
supportive
to
your
patients,
explaining
your
theories
to
them,
having
some
basic
empathy
to
their
situations.
There's
none
of
that
here.
EDIT:
Just
reiterating
this
one
more
time
based
on
the
reply
to
this
review.
My
decision
to
return
to
the
clinic/to
bring
my
mother
was
one
of
quite
frankly
not
having
other
options
as
the
clinic
was
free.
It
was
not
a
resemblance
of
good
medical
care.
At
no
point
did
I
critique
the
administrative
decisions
of
this
institution.
There
is
no
denying
that
staying
open
during
COVID
was
a
brave
decision
but
again
-
that
is
not
what
this
is
about.
This
is
about
dismissive
doctors,
rude
staff
and
a
doctor
feeling
the
need
to
imply
to
patient
that
their
"visiting
the
clinic"
inconveniences
them.
Quite
frankly
I
believe
that
the
response
to
this
review
skimming
past
all
of
those
main
issues
to
prove
the
point
that
is
convenient
to
them
is
quite
reflective
of
what
the
treatment
at
this
place
Is
actually
like🤷♂️
All
the
best.
