Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities

Had an extremely negative experience with this chc ! Very unhelpful reception staff .They specialize in CREATING BARRIERS FOR PATIENTS .They do not deserve any star but impossible to post review without clicking on a star .

I am very grateful that SCHC, Markham, accepted me as their new patient recenlty. Both Dr. Vimalesan and Dr. Gopha are warm, patient, and professional. I appreciate that Dr. V is willing to send me for different tests to ensure my health is being taken care of holistically. I also like how Dr. G patiently explained my conditions as well as the medications to me today. I can see their eagerness and diligence in taking care of me. Finally, after 20 years, I feel so cared for. The staff at the front desk, as well as the nurses, are helpful. I highly recommend them!

The people there are so professional but also so friendly. They really do help with your needs and privacy is key.

Very racist organization and I don't understand why they are represented minorities. Very oppressive environment that is supposed and encouraged by management

I have been a volunteer with this organization for about 3 months. The staff work hard and have a genuine interest in the well-being of the community members they serve. More importantly, I see how the programs greatly benefit the clients, whether they are coming in for medical consultations or emotional support. If you want to feel good about yourself, volunteer with this organization. You'll be paid with lots of smiles and thank you's.

It is an indispensable resource in the community.I recommend Social Worker Dorothee Chopamba to any one.She is the best in her field. She's very compassionate, supportive,understanding, welcoming and most of all, helpful.

Zero stars. The doctor won't give me the meds I need. She never refills my meds on time. Their reception is horrible. Always an issue with the fax machine. You have request refills a week early and call them 10 times to make sure they refill it in time, every single time, an issue. They set me up 3 appointments they either canceled or changed without telling me. Im still waiting for specialist that just left. Dr Raveen.

i haven’t had an appointment since the one i missed two months ago and not once have they checked up on me yet they can call for weeks from a blocked caller id because the health card number expire, when answered they won’t give you a name or number or anything to prove that they’re who they say they are, all they claim is that they’ve been trying to contact for weeks yet i’ve received no voicemails and if they’ve been blocking their number the whole time then that’s their problem for acting like a spam caller because i had auto rejected all incoming calls from blocked numbers.not once did the only clinic i’ve been going to attempt to directly contact me, i called the clinic after this harasser hung up on me and they had no idea about any of this. how is it that i was just contacted by scarborough centre for healthy communities and you have no record or anything to show for it in your system? then the receptionist rudely starts talking down to me talking about she’s got work acting like she doesn’t care that i literally just woke up and had to deal with this harassment “we have work” to quote her, “you are an adult” is the response i got when i asked why only i was contacted and my mom was not since both our numbers are on file. in this case my age is irrelevant, even the fact that the numbers belong to different people is irrelevant if the first number can’t be reached then try contacting the second number that’s the whole point of having multiple numbers, but i guess the employees that work here are either incompetent or overworked since they couldn’t realize that themselves. i will be going here once more to recover any personal notes i left with my nurse then i will never come back.

I am beyond disappointed with the services of this community health centre. I have been attending this community centre for a few years and have not received the level of care that I would expect in a country like Canada.The physicians have zero compassion and give you attitude if you have any questions or request a second opinion, the social worker completely abandoned me after 2 sessions and said she would follow up in a week, I never heard back from her - it's been 6 months. Instead of discussing my issues she told me to go meditate" with no instruction or direction. The dietitian completely disregards her appointments and doesn't call when she books you in for an appointment - it's happened three times already.This is a great place if you're a newcomer to Canada and you have zero expectations for health care and want the bare minimum effort with no apologies for wasting your time. As someone that works in healthcare I am truly appalled by this community health centre as it seems they forgot what the meaning of "client-centered" is. I wouldn't have been as judgmental if it was only one health care professional

Absolutely amazing facilities and best part is the after care! Not only myself but my family has been shown amazing times by the after care staff. They facilitate meetings and treats like Jays games, Dinners, and Camping! It has been instrumental in my recovery! Highly recommended
