Terrible oncologist and human being! She was cold and rude to my loved one and instead of being there for her patients when they are dying she tells them you are going down, down down... who the "f "says that???? She should have her license revoked she knows NOTHING about cancer. Go to Princess Margaret or Suunybrook!

RUN! GET A SECOND OPINION. TERRIBLE MEDICAL ONCOLOGIST. GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

She literally denied to provide my mom treatment because she had blood clots. Guess what? people with blood clots can still get treatment. On top of that she said she's too weak, her idea of building strength was doing no treatment until cancer takes her. I had to find a treatment plan  for my mom MYSELF, while this doctor kept denying a simple prescription. Her excuse? It may cause more harm than good, what kind of an idiotic reasoning is that when you have a terminal illness and there's no harm in trying the only potential treatment that can help.

So I had to literally fight her for it and she STILL kept denying, she finally agreed because I told her we will ensure she won't be liable if anything happens to my mom due to the side effects of that treatment.SHE DIDNT CARE ABOUT MY MOM AT ALL. SHE CARED WAS THAT SHE DIDNT WANT TO BE HELD LIABLE.

And the pill fricken worked, but by the time she finally prescribed it (delayed for over a month) she became so weak and frail and the pill works for a shorter period of time on weaker people. So if this thing prescribed it when I ASKED, I wonder how much longer it would've worked. 

IN MY OPINION, I highly suggest staying away from this woman because she DID NOT go out of her way to help US, she TRIED TO talk ME out of GETTING treatment FOR MY MOM BECAUSE IT DIDN'T follows her small minded plan. I recommend going straight to princess Margaret hospital because we finally got a referral and that doctor was so helpful, he tried to explore every potential pathway for us and communicated excellently and it actually felt like he cared. Sadly it was too late. Don't make the same mistake as we did. Skip lakeridge health and especially this woman because aside from her prescribing a treatment plan that can be found on google - she DIDNT do anything else FOR MY MOM. Not even find any clinical trials for her or even suggest any
