Kandasamy Gerald Dr

Very thorough, caring Doctor. I never feel like he is too busy for my questions. I feel lucky to have him as my doctor.

I had very little issues with Dr. Kandasamy—until I became pregnant. Prior to that, he provided great care, was always kind, and seemed genuinely patient-focused. I always appreciated how he never rushed me as a patient and was open to talking about multiple concerns per visit. I also never had to wait more than five minutes for an appointment. I’d also like to add that a few years prior when having some mental health difficulties, I was not able to get into see him and was forced to go to a clinic. That said, it was consistently difficult to book appointments with him, as his receptionist only works a few days a week—and throughout my time there, she was consistently rude. It was also hard as he exclusively sees his patients in person. However, this review is about Dr. Kandasamy himself. Once I shared that I was pregnant, things changed. I quickly realized I had to stay on top of my own prenatal care, as he provided very little guidance or support. Before each appointment, I had to come fully prepared with questions and information I’d researched on my own, because I couldn’t rely on him to offer any proactive help. At one point, after experiencing serious symptoms and getting bloodwork done, I was seen three weeks later. Further into my pregnancy, when it was time to get my TDAP vaccine, he outright refused to administer it. He said that I had had a healthy pregnancy up to that point with minor complications and that he didn’t want to risk anything. I was forced in my third trimester to find a new family doctor who could provide the appropriate level of prenatal care.

Dr Kandasamy doesn't know what providing holistic care means unfortunately. I was going trough a rough time dealing with depression , he insisted on prescribing strong antidepressants, when he realized that I wasn't taking them because honestly I didn't thought that was the right solution for me he refused to continue being my family doctor because I wasn't taking the pills instead of offering an alternative treatment.

This guy is a joke and so is his staff. Rude and disrespectful

Very lucky to have this doctor. Definitely recommend.
