    He tells you if you don't have sclerotherapy, you will need to wear compression stockings for the remainder of your life. You get the procedure, and he tells you you must wear compression stockings your entire life. He is trying to sell you his compression stockings. As a woman, you feel violated when he examines you. Never has a doctor checked my heart rate the way this doctor does. He is creepy! Also, I didn't appreciate him trying to sell me on his charity during my visit. He spent most of the time talking about that. NOT RETURNING!!

    Ooh my gosh I wish I read these reviews before. I have never ever felt this way going to see any doctor before I wanted to cry I trusted the doctor but he seemed strange. Too handsy unnecessary touching I jumped and ge would tell me don’t worry I’m just checking your heart valves but the way he would go about it and touch was weird I just felt violated I totally agree with the last review all of that and then to explain diagnosis he would just start mumbling like he’s reading off a book and wants you to understand he is sarcastic and rude I don’t know with the way he is with the ladies how he hasn’t been charged yet and list his license I was so upset with myself with staying in the room during the appt I should of just left

    Left feeling I'd been assaulted and called the cpso but they never bothered to follow up. Gave me literal nightmares. Do not go alone if you are a woman!!!! Made me get way undressed (I didn't know what common practice is and I thought I could trust a doctor, bit mistake). Tried to get handsy with me. Couldn't get out of there fast enough but he kept me in the appt WAAAAAY longer than any other patient he saw while I was there. Talking total nonsense trying to recruit me to his charity blah blah. Had the door blocked with his body. Total creep stay away. Never going to a Dr alone again!

    This man is a joke! Office has not been updated in decades or cleaned in weeks. Saw three patients in under 10 Minutes total. Should be a stocking sales person not a vein specialist. Did not even look at the patient's legs!

    honestly, he seems way too high strung to be a good doctor. Always in a rush to get his ohip billed for 5 mins of consultation and then sell you on other products. Stay away. Total quack! Check out the regulatory filing on the OPSO site

    I was referred for posterior atrial calcification and before he delt with that he was arranging tests in his office - one I had done earlier in the year in the hospital, a corotid Doppler in the facility across the steer and selling me stockings and telling me he could treat my vericose veins for $175+ 2 Sessions at that price. Found it very hard to understand all that he was saying. Needless to say I left and am seeking another opinion,

    I advise anyone to run, not walk, away from this man. He is rude, arrogant, and does not seem to have any sense of common decency.
