Fourth Avenue Joint Centre

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Tariq and I have to say she was absolutely fantastic. I have been dealing with health concerns for one and a half years now and am only 18, she was the first Doctor to take the time to talk to me about every single struggle that I have had to face with my symptoms. She shows that she cares and that she understands what a life with a health condition can do to your overall health. I wish I was referred to her first, this gives me hope that I have lost due to no answers. I know how stressful it is to be waiting in the waiting room and thinking about if this Doctor is going to change your life or if they are just going to look and your file and say they are just another patient, but I can assure you that no stress in needed when this Doctor is taking care of you. P.S. If you are reading this Doctor. Tariq I want you to know that you have made me hopeful again, you have an amazing gift and I am grateful to have met you today!

Five Stars – An Outstanding Experience with Dr. Tariq Dr. Tariq is one of the most down-to-earth and compassionate doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. From my very first appointment, she took the time to listen attentively, ask the right questions, and approach my care with both empathy and expertise. I’ve never once felt rushed, she makes you feel like you’re her only patient, and that kind of care is rare. Her diagnostic skills are sharp, and I’ve felt truly supported and understood throughout my treatment. Her receptionist Bernadette is equally fantastic, warm, professional, and always on top of things. I’ve always felt like I’m in good hands the moment I walk through the door. Even Kent the pharmacist and staff in the same building are amazing, friendly, efficient, and helpful. This is what healthcare should feel like. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Tariq to anyone in need of a great Rheumatologist. 10/10!

I've been under Dr. Tariq's care for a couple of years. I have nothing but a positive experience while under her care. She takes her time explaining my options and always listens to my concerns or questions very professional. Dr. Tariq's secretary Bernadette is very professional and is always friendly in setting up appointments when the time is convient for me.

I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with both Dr Tariq and her receptionist. She listens to my concerns and is thorough with her exams. I have a newborn and she has stepped out and let me nurse and then has come back. I’m never rushed and always listened to. She had a student at her last appointment and he was very thorough and asked a lot of good questions. I like to see drs taking on med students - we always need more doctors.

Dr Tariq was very professional. She took her time with my initial appointment and was very thorough. She explained my options and helped me make smart decisions for treatment. It's been 2 weeks since my appointment and I am already seeing promising results. Bernadette, at the front desk, is a great addition to this team. She was professional, knowledgeable and very friendly.
