College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia

Lots of complaints from patients. Doctors aren't happy with the College either. They seem to exist to only complicate matters for Physicians. Constant requirements and regulations. The very definition of bureaucracy. Doctors are drowning in BC. The College doesn't care.

Probably the worst govt agency i have dealt with. In 1 hr i accomplished more than they did in 8 months.i had the worst hip replacement in vgh history. Im now severely disabled. Dr clive duncanfalsified all my medical records. I told college my gp has the truth. They refusrd to contact my gp. The investigator basically asked me to take the lead on my own investigation. Ive withdrawn my complaint cause i refuse to be neglected any more. Total waste of time and energy. They should be ashamed of themsrlves for cashing a pay cheque.

Joke establishment, no anonymity for reporting abuse. Do I want the person who I'd like to see their medical license revoked to know where I live? Obviously not. Doctors in BC claiming they perform miracle healing" and trying to get people to attend their church

The College is a completely useless establishment. They didn't bother reading my complaint and started discussing something irrelevant altogether. Dr. Siavash Ganjbakhsh at Hilltop Medical Clinic completely lied in his response to my complaint, and when this was brought to their attention, they simply ignored it.The college did not address my actual complaint and only looked to assert the lies of this so called doctor". They basically ALWAYS side with the doctor as if their word is that of a god and no person is allowed to challenge them. I genuinely do not know why this organization even exists. There's a reason the reviews for the college are so low. It's full of very lazy investigators that simply do not do their job

I have waited months to book an appointment and finally we got booked for my daughter regarding autism But the day we had appointment she called us that dr is not feeling well so we will book you for another day and I said okay so book us the day when dr is coming back so she responded that those days are booked so you will have to wait another month to see a dr. Now can anyone tell how it is our fault that we have to wait for another while other patients booked after us get to see dr first. She then responded then you can go ahead and complain where ever you want. Very unprofessional and bad attitude. I am officially filing complaint to board of physicians and surgeons.

I am being denied healthcare and the corruption involved in reporting a complaint is a joke. I have involved 4 different media stations. Hopefully i can have my concerns addressed! (I am living with spinal problems and i am being refused diagnosis)

Completely rude and disrespectful, I've dealt with college of physicians in different provinces like Ontario and BC on is the absolute worst.

I filed a complaint with the College about my family physician, Dr. E.E. Stockenström. The week after I had a myocardial infarction, I asked Dr. Stockenström to check my medication. He refused. As it turned out Shoppers Drug Mart had failed to dispense Brilinta. In his letter in response to my complaint, Dr. Stockenström asserted that it was not his job to check his patients' medication. The College disagreed. At the time I informed Dr. Stockenström I was filing a complaint with the College, he informed me that I could no longer be his patient. The College said Dr. Stockenström did not meet their expectations as he did not provide bridging. While I am happy with the conclusions of the College, I note that they lack transparency when compared to the College of Pharmacists of BC where I also lodged a complaint.

Protected by the Canadian Medical Protective Association's $5 billion dollar war chest, of mostly tax payer money. This college does as it pleases, regardless of the law in my opinion. This self-regulating college refused to answer my questions about the complaints process when I called on multiple occasions. Instead, transferring me to a recording. Which instructed me to leave a detailed message, and someone would get back to me. No one ever did. My written complaints were submitted via courier, and signed for by staff. The complaints then went missing. The Chief Registrar refused to investigate the loss of the documents. My follow-up complaint against the Chief Registrar for obstruction and breach of trust were immediately dismissed by her friends. This self-serving college has demonstrated a compete lack of respect for the Health Professions Act in my opinion. I do not recommend wasting your time and money filing a complaint with them. As the outcome seems to be pre-determined in my opinion.

CPS has too much power and is doing absolutely nothing to ease the pressure on doctors or to allow British Columbians access to doctors. They've taken away telehealth doctors abilities to request blood work, scans, etc. So now we have to line-up at 6:30am to see a doctor at a walk-in clinic for something that telehealth was supposed to make more streamline. What genius is in charge for making these foolish and deadly decisions? I am fortunate enough to travel yearly and get full checkups done overseas - no wait times and no runarounds. There is no confidence left in BC healthcare as the system has already collapsed - how sad and embarrassing for this province and this country. CPS is just as useless as our politicians who are doing absolutely nothing.
