Dr. Guzder Rustom

I've had nothing but great interactions with Dr Guzder. He's been clear and concise with me during my appointments. His receptionist Heather is very helpful and kind.

I have seen Dr Guzder three times now, and I find him to be rather good in many respects. He listens, explains his decisions, thinks outside the box, and his manner is impeccable. I have made some real changes to my life and health because of this man and his encouragement. My appointments are long, and I never feel rushed. My appointment today was almost an hour. I accept you sometimes have to wait, but that is the nature of the beast for all medical situations. I would not hesitate for a moment in recommending Dr Guzder, and Heather is always on point with reminders for appointments and bloodwork. A massive thumbs up from me, and genuine gratitude for expertise and caring that has given me a boost in my quest to return to full health.

Dr Guzder double booked my appointment, I left and when asked to rebook, I said no. he then sent in virtual results of my appointment based on tests he took from my medical history. He maintains his pay from the gov't this way. he is a thief and a time waster. there are better specialists out there.

I found Dr.Guzder to be very friendly and very pleasant. He gave me info that my doctor did not give me when first diagnosed with diabetes. I now have my A1c below 7.

My mother died in July of 2017. She had a massive stroke and heart attack after having a radioactive iodine treatment for her overactive thyroid. Guzder was her doctor and scheduled this treatment in 2011. The iodine caused the thyroid to send out too much hormone and caused the heart attack and subsequent stroke. She lived 6 more years but had no life as she never walked again, never drove her car again, never golfed again. Her brain was damaged from the stroke and she had a hard time remembering things. Before this happened Guzder was very arrogant during appointments and took very little interest in talking to us. We were totally unaware of the risks of this procedure, otherwise would never have gone ahead. When I look back in life to things I wish I had never done, this would rank #1. I hesitate to call him a doctor. I have to put one star to post this otherwise would not put any stars.

Very professional and has changed my sons life! Obviously for the better! Hands down the best endocrinologist we have had! I highly recommend him and the staff are absolutely lovely at the office

Booked a day off work to travel to Nanaimo for an appointment booked by my GP. Waited in the waiting room for an hour before I asked the front end lady what's going on. She said he would be about another 45 min but I would be next. I've been fasting since last night, and by the time I would see the Dr it was going to be after 4 pm!EDIT - I just was informed that Dr Guzder was able to make a virtual assessment based on test results he took from my medical history. I never gave him permission to get said records, nor did i want him to be involved with the care of my health. By making a virtual assessment, he is able to still get money from the gov't. he a thief. I would not trust this man with your health.

I can't speak for any other experience than mine. There was no risk with my visit or any procedures I needed to have done. I believe the doctor should tell you any and all risks regardless of if you ask or not, but, you need to be thorough in your questions and always ask the risks of your procedures if you do not know.My personal experience with Dr Guzder was good. He explained to me some things without me asking and asked me if there was anything I wanted to know several times throughout our conversation. He came off very caring and did not rush me. He listened to my concerns and cleared things up for me that I hadn't known, understood or had any information on before.

Excellent Doctor - Went to see him a couple of years ago and was impressed by his kindness and thoroughness. Saw me very quickly, was familiar with my case, took extra steps to investigate rare and unlikely causes just to be sure. Was very kind and helpful throughout. I had a follow-up call due to a concern and was able to speak directly with him where he was once again kind and thoughtful. Also, he was up to speed on all the latest treatments and also new & upcoming ones that were not yet available. Probably the best doctor I had ever seen and he followed up with nice and precise letters to my regular doctor to inform her of his findings and our discussions. Very good - and has motorcycle magazines in his office! Highly recommended from my experience and I'm following his suggestions with respect to treatment and am improving. Thank you Doctor Guzder for helping me and making my life better!
