This is our second experience with Dr. Ohayon.

He is seriously something else.

The reviews about the long wait times are not wrong. It can take quite a while. However, having a family with several health challenges, these wait times are in line with the nature of the service. In fact, I have waited far longer for other doctors with terrible bedside manner who left me with more questions than answers.

In the 5-10 minutes we actually get to see Dr. Ohayon, I am given more information, validation and attention as a concerned parent than I have gleaned from all the doctors my family and I have seen —collectively.

His disposition is calm and reassuring. He treats issues with a multi-faceted, carefully thought out approach, and his number one concern is helping his patient.

Even the way he operates his computer systems is noticeably different from other doctors.

His process is streamlined, advanced and very intuitive. He answers your questions before you've asked them and he is able to quickly create a package for you, right before your eyes (rather than pulling out several old, over over-photocopied documents with a "one size fits all" blanket approach to your concerns). He creates an actual treatment protocol for you. Explains how each recommendation will treat your individual concerns *and* those that he has noticed himself.

He hands you your paperwork in such a way where it actually makes sense and the information stays with you.

He goes through it with you thoroughly and concisely, and when you leave; you feel like you, as the parent, are back in control of what can be a truly terrifying situation (allergies and sensitivities can be life threatening, after all, and that can leave parents feeling rather helpless.)

If you're concerned about allergies for you or a loved one, I cannot recommend this man enough. Do yourself a favour and bring a good book. He's worth the wait.

Staff & Dr are kind & helpful. Wait times are long, for sure. Bring a book or something to pass the time. Otherwise service is professional and questions answered very well. Have seen them for myself and several children.

Nice staff that did their best to help go through the process quickly

We have seen a few allergies as we have been dealing with food allergies for years. He is by far the best allergist we have worked with. Helpful, non dismissive, keen to listen, I could go on. He was the first allergist to really listen to our concerns and provide answers to our concerns.
