DeJong Christine Dr

I had an appt with this doctor in July of 2021. At this time because of Covid they were prescreening their referrals by phone. My doctor’s office requested a referral and within 2-3 weeks I was booked to go in and see her without a prescreening. Dr. DeJong made it very clear that I was lucky to have gotten in without being prescreened. By this time, I had been dealing with 7 months of indescribable pain, itching, inflammation, tears, bleeding, lumps and dyspareunia. I had tried multiple topicals and gone for several swabs with no success. I sat in her office and answered all of her hurried questions with tears in my eyes and then she decided to take a look. (My doctor’s office told me that I would probably need a biopsy done by a gynaecologist to get a definitive answer on what was going on with me.) She looked at me for less than 2 minutes without even turning her light on and declared that I simply had a yeast infection and that I should treat it with Canesten, maybe an oral capsule of Fluconazole and good probiotic. Basically, she blew me off. She wanted me in and out as soon as possible after all, I wasn’t dying or pregnant and she had another patient waiting. I was in despair as these were all things I had already tried and even tested negative for before I came to see her. She may be a good obstetrician but she’s severely lacking as a gynaecologist.

Dr. De Jong delivered both of my daughters. She understood how important it was for me to have continuity in care because there were health complications with both pregnancies. She has continued to be my OB/GYN ever since and I place the fullest of confidence in the level of care she has provided to me. She has a busy practice and has gotten back to me after hours when needed - unheard of in today's health care system. Her staff are friendly and professional. They are timely in responses and pleasant to meet with. Five stars for Dr. De Jong and her staff!

If I could give zero stars I would. Dealing with Dr. DeJong is like stepping inside a time warp. She constantly rushes her patients, she is inconsiderate and has terrible bedside manner, and honestly having an IUD insertion from her was more painful than any period I've ever had. Just an awful experience in general. I strongly recommend avoiding her clinic at all costs. Did I mention her clinic is in a house?!

Dr. Dejong is very empathetic and makes her patient feel cared for! Jeannete at the reception was very helping, kind and accomodating.

Dr. De Jong came highly recommended, and for two pregnancies I’ve wondered why. I had my daughters back-to-back, and the level of care I received for both were nowhere near the care I received for my first child, elsewhere. I found Dr. De Jong to be dismissive, rough, and rushed. My pregnancy in 2020, I even had to do my own strep swab in the office. My pregnancy in 2021, I did not have one internal exam. Not one single check of my cervix, not even at the end, before she booked my induction, or when I complained about serious pain in my pelvic bones around 34 weeks. When I went for my six-to-eight week checkup, she did not do one single thing that is on the list for that appointment. Shocker, not even a vaginal exam here either! This is still after complaining about that same pain that hadn’t gone away, and she was even half out the door when I was attempting to discuss a very private matter, to the point where I had to ask her to close the door.I should also mention that my pregnancies were considered somewhat high-risk. Even more alarming that nothing was done for my pregnancy in 2021.Why did I go back the second time, you ask? I gave her the benefit of the doubt, as things were all awry with the pandemic. The second time, when things were much calmer, proved that to be completely wrong.

I was referred to Dr. DeJong about a year ago. I had heard wonderful things and upon arrival the office was packed. A good sign I thought. The staff were kind, Dr. DeJong herself was kind enough but the conditions of the exam room were appalling.There was an open bucket of what looked like used speculums sitting in brown water, on questioning apparently it was a cleaning liquid horrendous just the same as I rather not see that. There were splatters of what looked to be dried blood on the wall. Next to the sink there was a heavily used washcloth that hung stiffly, think a frozen washcloth.The whole room just felt unclean, I felt like my concerns weren't valid and it made me incredibly uncomfortable, especially since this was my first time getting a pap smear. I do hope the hygiene of the exam room has improved since but it put me off getting my exams done, and I had to find someone new.

I have nothing wrong to say about Dr DeJong who is very knowledgeable and caring but the receptionist last time I went was very rude and unprofessional... I just left shocked because of how she talked to me and I kept reliving the scene the whole day... People don't understand how their behaviour can affect someone's life for hours... Should not work in customer service if not able to have manners!

I would like to thank Dr. Christine Dejong, she is truly amazing. She accepted me when I was 7 months pregnant with twins and she helped me a lot. Her experience and intelligence was a blessing for me. She was there in the labour room for me even on her day off and supported me for a normal delivery for both kids. She is very kind and generous person.

I had a smooth and healthy delivery with Dr Christine DeJong! I would like to thank her for professional advice and support throughout this journey!
