BEWARE this doctor perforated 6cm my wife's esophagus on routine endoscopy for dysphagia. She had to be urgently rushed to St. Joeseph's Hamilton for an emergency life threatening thoracic surgery to place a stent implant over the 6 cm tear he created. She spent 18 days in ICU with over 15 imaging and other procedures leaving hospital with a stomach feeding tube and pain killers that she is currently taking every 4 hr. She has a long recovery with many possible unexpected complications. I would definitely not recommend this doctor and will be filing a report with the college of physicians. To add insult to injury he did not explain the cause and did not provide an apology. Rudeness begets ignorance. You be the judge.
