Manhattan Medical Centre — Local services in Markham

Both my wife and I have been seeing Dr. Raveendran for more than 7-8 years, I don't normally write reviews but after reading so many bad reviews on Google, I have to say something. The fact is, Dr. Raveendran is an extremely nice and caring person, precise diagnosis and don't waste your time. I don't understand why people said he doesn't listen, maybe some patients just talk too much.

Please try somewhere else, althought this country's family doctors suck in...

My experience with Dr. Raveendran over the years has been as polarized as the reviews here.

However, that changed after he started to squeeze in as many patients as possible, leading to overbooking and unfulfilled appointments (e.g., empty promises of “the doctor will call you”).
