Dr Yan

This doctor is the worst I have ever encountered. He is rude and disrespectful towards his patients, frequently yelling and interrupting them before they can finish a sentence. He lacks basic manners and shows zero compassion towards his patients. When I went to see him for chest pain, he advised me to stop investigating the issue without even conducting a proper examination or investigating the cause of my symptoms. It is clear that he has no interest in providing quality medical care and should be avoided at all costs. Despite possibly being intelligent, his lack of basic manners and terrible attitude make him an unprofessional and unpleasant doctor to interact with.

This person totally missed my wife's pericarditis condition. He actually arranged the first appointment to be over the phone and after this first appointment, he ordered a stress test. The thing is, pericarditis can only be diagnosed by an MRI and/or by carefully listening to a patient's heart. Furthermore, patients with pericarditis should NOT exercise for about 3 months, as physical exercise worsens the condition. But this so called doctor ordered a stress test, which is a physical exercise and he did so without ruling out her pericarditis condition first. My wife suffered really bad after the stress test. Raymond Yan then had us in for an in-person appointment, where he solely relied on an ECG, stress test results and bloodwork to say that there is no problem with my wife's heart and that we should stop asking questions and stop investigating. He only listened to my wife's heart with a stethoscope after I asked if he will not... This he did with rolling eyes; the examination lasted about 20 seconds and was not thorough at all. Fast forward to about a month later, we pushed our family doctor really hard to get us into TGH's cardiac centre for a second opinion. There, the first thing they did is a thorough, about 3 minute exam with a stethoscope, where 2 doctors concurred and confirmed the pericarditis. My wife was put on meds and is now slowly recovering. Raymond Yan should not be a cardiologist or a doctor at all. Never mind that he has no bedside manners to speak of, or manners at all. He will yell at you, interrupt you, stop you from asking questions as if he was some king of an ultimate medical authority. His misdiagnosis delayed proper treatment for my wife for at least a month. I don't know how he got his papers but he should not be a doctor, never mind a cardiologist.
