Pezim Clinic

I read the poor reviews but thought that they came from a vocal tiny % of patients with unreal expectations or overly sensitive. As such I discounted them. Don't make the same mistake. In my instance I felt that Dr. Pezim discounted my pain, was crass, unprofessional and not much help. He told me that what I was going through was nothing" compared to many. He has "seen patients kill themselves over much more advanced cases than mine". He is the first and hopefully only Dr. I will ever need to deal with who seems to me to hate people and hate his job."

If I could give this clinic a zero I would. The RN Alison and Dr. Pezim are the most unprofessional people I have ever encountered. I had the most horrific experience where the Dr. and nurse laughed at my pain and said that my story doesn’t make sense to him, comparing my issue to someone dying and having a heart attack.. disregarding my symptoms and did not perform a full examination. This was a sever form of malpractice and I ended up in the ER because of it. I would avoid this place at all cost and they shouldn’t even have a license to practice.

Totally impressed at the professional way in which Dr Pezim and his staff accepted me as an emergency patient. The warmth I was greeted with by his staff and Dr Pezim’s amazing bedside manner were great! He was thorough in explaining the pros and cons of tx options. Many Thanks to an amazing team, need more doctor’s offices like this! Kind and caring. Thanks to the Team.

I have the nice experience to deal with Dr. Pezim and staff. The banding procedures were painless and effective. Dr. Pezim is great professional! After the second band my bleeding completely stopped and I happy!

Dr Pezim and his staff are so fantastic. After my first visit I left in tears of joy. They were kind, compassionate and treated me in a way that made a very uncomfortable situation much better.There was a nurse in the room the whole time, which I appreciated very much, and she was so lovely.There was consent asked for everything that happened and I felt safe.I had a surgery scheduled for a week after my initial visit and it went super smoothly. They treated me with such warmth I felt completely secure.Also worth noting I went to the cleator clinic prior to this and it was a horrendous experience. They told me my surgery was going to be $1000 and that it wasn’t in my best interest to do it. Dr Pezim recommended I have it done and it was covered by my MSP.I highly recommend this clinic.

Misdiagnosed me. Said I had diverticular disease. He literally told me to “do nothing”. It turns out I have a tortuous/loopy/redundant bowel. Also scar tissue which he scoffed at when i asked if that was a possibility. Thankfully I finally got into a gastro who did a proper colonoscopy. Pezim never even completed my sigmoidoscopy as it was too painful yet he insisted he saw all he needed to see and that i should “do nothing”. Steer clear of this neglectful doctor, find someone who will take your pain seriously and not scoff at you and shuffle you out the door.

Dr. Pezim is a wonderful doctor, he was able to fit me in quickly and efficiently. He and his team are very professional, and truly dedicated to best patient care and treatment outcomes. Patients are lucky to have access to such quick and competent specialist care here in Vancouver. It really is too bad other provinces such as Alberta do not allow access to private gastroenterology procedures as this significantly decreases patient wait times and stress. Forever grateful to Dr. Pezim for his skill and expertise, it is hard to find medical professionals who have a true calling for their profession like him.

I have ECZEMA!!! And this guy with his assistant preached to me for 45 minutes to stop drinking coffee and to stop taking hot baths!! I’m not surprised by all of the bad reviews and if I could give him zero stars I would…WORST DR. Ever!!

I found Dr Pezim's staff I dealt with, mainly Ariel, to be very pleasant, helpful and organized. She always called me back within minutes of my sending a text, or leaving them a message.Dr Pezim was punctual and knowledgeable. He made several suggestions and sent the letters with that information to my local physician almost immediately.

Dr. Pezim has poor hand hygiene, gave incomplete pre-procedure information, and dismissed my pain. His staff is polite, articulate, knowledgeable and kind, he is none of those things.
