Tim's Pharmacy

Dr. Ghobadian is one of the best doctors, very patient and thorough with his explanation. All the staff are nice and friendly and they are also patient and accommodating with me and my wife. It may get busy at times but I know that I get excellent care in this medical clinic. Thank you Dr. Ghobadian and all staff.

I completely disagree with the low rating and negative reviews for Avicenna. I and my kids have been patients here for a long time. All the staff are courteous ,well-mannered and they tried to get me in to see the doctor quickly, of course there are some delays at times but this is usual in any doctors office. In some occasions, I have witnessed some patients being rude,demanding and unreasonable to the front staff. The doctors here have good bedside manner, knowledgeable and professional.

Great doctors, very compassionate, caring and great staff, very satisfied with their services , I would like to thank you specifically from Dr Ghobadian for his care.

I do not recommend Avicenna Health Centre! The front desk stuff are terrible at all ! The receptionist could care less about you. They can be rude and short. They don't smile, they are not welcoming.

Normally closed after 6:00 PM.Waiting time is normally around one hour.

Long Wait Times, Lots of fees

Most of this happened over several visits to Avicenna over the last year. Granted this is a walk in clinic and I didn't expect much, I was still greatly disappointed. I first went in for a basic checkup due to cold/flu. I even booked an appointment. The wait time for me was 2.5 hours. There was one other patient who waited 5 hours, and when she got fed up, the doctor told her to leave. My actual diagnosis was okay, but that only took 5 minutes, the remaining 40 minutes was a random conversation with the doctor. As I had travelled out of Canada for more than 1 year, OHIP put a freeze on my account and I was in the 90 day reapplication process. I had a basic travel insurance in the interim. Based on the fact that I could not use OHIP, I had to pay $65 dollars for a consultation fee, which isn't so bad as it is covered by the travel insurance. There were a few other tests prescribed as well, many of which I didn't think were necessary, but I didn't mind as my insurance covered it. However, my insurance requires the doctors signature on the claim form. I filled out the form and took it to the doctor who signed it, and just to get a signature on the form cost me 30 dollars. The receptionist said I should be able to claim the amount on a separate form... but that form would also need to be signed, at an additional 30 dollars! As well, the doctor I saw didn't accept credit card or debit card, even though the office was set up with both facilities. If you need to see a doctor, I'd suggest another location.
