Gorfinkel Iris, M.D

I feel inclined to write a review simply because I feel Dr Gorfinkel is well above a 3 Star rating. Furthermore, although the only down-​side may be waiting times… we live in a country with FREE HEALTH CARE and high volumes and high wait times is part of this package. If you are pressed for time, then I would highly recommend booking an early appointment, as the wait times are less. Bring a book. Waiting isn’t the most terrible experience you can have in this world.
All that being said, she’s worth the wait. Very thorough, knowledgable, friendly, and to the point. She also practices what she preaches, feeling that preventative health is key to overall great health. I enjoy talking to her as a person and there is no ‘rush mentality’ to get you in and out as quickly as possible. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the waiting room times feel longer.
Also, she has partnered with other Drs for evening and weekend appointments, which has been very accomodating. I’ve seen one other Dr she works with, and he was equally as great, again taking the time to understand your ailments and not just pushing perscriptions on you. I’ll never need to go into another walk-​in clinic again!
Count your blessings people, we have a great Dr here.

Very friendly and thorough doctor. And no pretensions at all. And for the cash-​strapped or cash-​hungry among us she often has some medical studies ongoing that seek paid volunteers. (If you’re willing to be a medical guinea pig that is)
However, she is often well booked and running late in her daily appointments. So what is often 2:30 appointment will turn out to be 4:30 or 5 sometime after you’ve sucumbed to the family magazines in the waiting room. A plus is the lab downstairs where the technicians are friendly and fast and the pharmacy downstairs.
