Alfred Balbul

I've seen Dr. Babul infrequently for many years and he's always done a good job of treating my ailements, although I've never been fond of his bedside manner (abupt, which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5). Recently, he removed a wart under my eye and did a great job (was careful, got it all, no scarring, didn't damage eye or skin).

If I could I would give this doctor a minus 1. His staff is rude, uncaring, unhelpful and dismissive. The doctor does NOT speak on the phone himself so it is impossible to correct any problems. He loves treatments that require cash payments only. If you have a RAMQ issue, don't bother. Cash machine doctor. Staff are terrible.

Dr. ALFRED BALBUL is the only Dermatologist that i know who could fix my eczemas. I saw 3 others before him who were prescribing me cremes that weren’t even working

Dr. Balbul and his associates are efficient and knowledgeable. They may not have 30 minutes to spend chatting with you but if you are there to have dermatological issues resolved, you won't be disappointed. The poor reviews are really not reflective of my and my friends and family members experiences with Dr. Balbul. I'm glad I didn't pay attention to the reviews.

I have been seeing Dr. Balbul for a very long time on and off and only when I needed to see him with my doctors referral. He has always been very good with me and I have nothing to complain about, he is one of the best in his field when doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my skin it took Dr. Balbul 3 seconds to tell me what it was. Thank you Dr. Balbul for all your help and I know your looking at retiring soon if so, well deserved. As for those who complain about his rudeness, if at all, you must be the kind of patients that he sees that are petty continue to complain about everything and anything because it doesn’t go your way or that your feelings are hurt well to you I said get over it if we had more doctors like that about more things would run more smoothly and faster. He doesn’t have time to babysit you. He’s got serious patients to see, so get over yourselves

I am very pleased with the staff and the doctor. Dr Alfred took the time to explain things to me. Thank you Dr. Balbul for this excellent consultation.

I have been a loyal patient of Dr. Balbul for 16 years. For the most part, I went for a consultation once a year and whatever skin problems I presented were usually rectified.To book an appointment, you must wait months, and when you finally do see him, be prepared because he rushes you out as fast as possible and you feel like you have to speak fast or he'll get annoyed that you're taking so long.I recently had a horrible experience with Dr. Balbul. I called after I was informed my prescription no longer existed (the pharma company discontinued it) and in desperation after my skin reacted terribly to the withdrawal, I called Dr. Balbul for help to suggest another method. I was told he could not just suggest anything and I had to see him, which required waiting MONTHS for an appointment. Finally I saw him and explained how I was disappointed in the way the situation was handled (he could have suggested another prescription) and his reaction was beyond unprofessional and incredibly insulting. He responded that it wasn't his fault the pharma companies merge and discontinue product (which I agree, however this wasn't an accusation rather than me asking him for help), and that if I wasn't happy with his services, I should just go see someone else. He also was quite spiteful and didn't suggest any ways to help me. As per usual, I have elected to take his advice and switch doctors. To be clear, I was very calm and did not present myself aggressively when speaking with him, so this took me quite aback.He was obviously very frustrated with the many recent merging pharmas and the impact it has directly on his business, however that was not my problem nor was it fair to take it out on me.After a long and loyal 16 years on my part, he did not reciprocate nor was he there when I need it and I would therefore not suggest going to see him.

Fantastic doctor.I went to Dr.Balbul to get his opinion on a few moles I had on my back, he quickly examined them and said they were benign.When i asked if we could have them removed for cosmetic purposes, he agreed.The procedure took about 4 minutes and we chatted the whole time to distract me of any pain while injecting the local anaesthesia. He then scraped the moles with a special tool, showed me how to take care of the wounds and that was it.He seemed to be in a hurry but that's understandable because 4 other patients were waiting outside. He wasnt rude at all though, and took the the time to answer all my questions .The only downfall is that you have to book an appointment literally 3 or 4 months in advanceVery good experience overall

Very much unsatisfied with the service! Waited for almost two months for an appointment and suddenly had a call from the doctor's office that my appointment is cancelled due to the doctor's vacation for the whole month of July and I have to wait for another two months for the next appointment. The staff is rude and speaking very abruptly.

Dr. Balbul was great. My review is for the staff. Grumpy! I get it., you hate your job. That doesn't make it ok to shake your head at an elderly client for not being able to hear you and your repeated questions. Your unacceptable attitude has rubbed off on your regular clients. One thought it was ok to comment why does this place look like tiny Tots" (aimed at my kids who I had to take with me. Would it have been better if I left them in the car? Home alone?)Have some compassion
