This man saved my life years ago.

He diagnosed and healed my perforated ulcer. Later when it happened again and I lost half my stomach in surgery 11 years ago, and even though I hadn't been his patient in a long time and I was now a public patient , he had heard about me and found me in hospital to check up on me. I actually think he has a bit of a brusque sense of humour and caring nature. Anyway I'd rather have a great specialist who can fix me than Mr congeniality.

Terribly RUDE & ABRUPT

From the start of walking into the rooms of Dr David Parkin his receptionist was nothing short of extremely abrupt & rude. There is a difference in the two ( rude & abrupt ) but the receptionist was both.

There’s a sign on the door saying to wear a mask, but the both receptionist were not wearing a mask.



Once David Parkin came out he looked down towards the ground to a piece of paper on a desk. Whilst saying to me Down the end of the hall way and pointing while saying this. No eye contact what so ever. Again just terribly rude.



These people specialist I always thought went to university and studied to become health professionals which also consists of helping the general public. When you have to go to these people ( specialist ) not by choice but due to being so sick. You certainly don’t expect to be treated with rudeness and being abrupt. It’s the last thing you would or should expect from people in this profession.



The hole experience was nothing short of disgusting and unnecessary in these terrible times that one is experiencing. It’s now that we all should be trying to come together. In these hard times with everything that’s going on.



One certainly doesn’t expect to pay $340 which is more money than other specialist in this field charge. And then be treated & spoken to in this manner.

This David Parkin would dare speak more treat one like the way we were treated. Out on the street. It’s funny how they feel or seem to come across thinking that there something greater than what they are. When there in there own little rooms or own
