Hoosen N Dr

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for our family doctor, Nashad Hoosen , who has been providing us with outstanding medical care for the past 20 years. Throughout this period, he has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to our well-being, taking the time to thoroughly assess our conditions, ordering the necessary tests, and developing effective treatment plans. Moreover, his wife has always been warm and welcoming, making our visits to the doctor a pleasant experience. We are truly grateful for Dr. Hoosen’s dedication and expertise.

Dr. Hoosen has been my family Doctor for over 20 years. He has always been thorough with me and never rushed me out of my appointments. Yes, you have to wait when you visit; but, that’s because he is spending time with his patients. I have since referred my family members and we all agree. Be patient!!! Good care is rare these days; take the time to appreciate him and how he cares for his patients.

Dr. Hoosen generally makes my mother feel bad. Don’t expect bed side manner. The reason his waiting room is so full is because he expects you to pay him if you go to a walk in clinic that he doesn’t approve. He insist that you see him rather than finding other sources of help. My mother is a senior and ended up in the hospital in Ottawa. He saw that she was somewhere else and asked her to pay for going to another doctor or he was going to drop her. The date in question, she was at home convalescing. She had to get proof from OHIP that she didn’t see anyone else. She had been seeing him for many years. Totally disgusting. If getting another doctor was easy, his waiting room would be empty. Update 2 years later--While many of the same issues may still be there, I have come to appreciate what he has done for my mother in the last little while. Her experience in assisted living, using their doctor, was somewhat disappointing. So she returned to Dr. Hoosen. He has been helpful and appears caring. She was there on her birthday and when she left, he realized it and came running out to her to wish her a happy birthday. It was totally unexpected and made her feel wonderful.

My first family doctor in Canada and I am glad to go for my wife's suggestion who happened to work as RN under him at a common place. I being a doctor from my country can confidently say he is expert in his field. And above that he is well behaved and empathetic towards his patients that makes him a nice person. Only reason I have seen people complaining in the reviews are those who sought clinical help from walk in clinic. I was told the same explicitly on my very first visit that because they run family practice patients ought not to go anywhere else except Hospital emerg. For less serious matters calling for urgent clinical advise his patients are supposed to call a specific number where one of the doctor from his group would be available on phone. So the choice remains there in the very beginning to look for another family doctor rather than complaining later. And most importantly he listens to what I say rather than going into assumptions about my illness. Great doctor and a nice person.

Dr Hoosen has been my family doctor for 4 years. I recommended my elderly parents to see him and he accepted. It's a convenient location for West St Catharines residents and Dr Hoosen and his staff treats us well.
