Hyde Park Medical & Walk-In Clinic

Condescending, impatient, and rude

I had a very negative experience with Dr Rai. I was told to come back by a different Doctor at the clinic if I needed a stronger prescription. Dr Rai refused to provide this alternate prescription unless I had an on the spot physical/Pap test. He used his authority to try to bully me into having one. He was rude and condescending. When I said I wasn't comfortable having one at this moment, he said he wouldn't prescribe me anything and walked out of the room without another word. Do not recomend.

They just want your $

I had severe dry skin around my mouth only to be prescribed a steroid cream as a bandaid solution. When I asked Dr. Bhalla is there could be a reason, she simply said "dry skin because of winter". I have NEVER had dry skin. When I asked if it could be caused by a deficiency of a vitamin or mineral (I am vegan), she asked me for my own diagnosis! I went to the pharmacy to pick it up, the pharmacist ended up saying it 'could' be angular cheilitis which is caused by a deficiency in B vitamins.

A terrible expetience. Avoid this place at all costs. I have visited this clinic on a few occasions and regret it every time from the service i receive. I had a severe kidney infection and was told an ultrasound would be wasteful in regards to ohips behalf. I am disgusted.

Dr. Rai is by far the worst doctor I have ever met. He is completely unwilling to listen to concerns, he interrupts you, and rushes patients in and out in order to maximize his billing numbers. I always leave this clinic in a worse state than I entered, feeling patronized, belittled, and still sick (often with no medication given). I will never be visiting this clinic again.

My experience at this clinic this morning was beyond horrible. Dr. Sharadindu Rai was aggressive, insulting and downright rude. I left in tears feeling humiliated and degraded. I can't believe the Ontario College of Professions allows a doctor to practice medicine with this type of behaviour. Sadly, after I expressed my concern to a few people throughout the day they too have had similar experiences here so it was not a one time occurrence. Absolutely atrocious!
