We will contact the patient directly if the review needs to be answered.
Most negative reviews are posted anonymously, or under names we do not recognize.
We don't see a point in responding to someone's hate campaign.
​
6. Q: Our previous family doctor did not allow us to see other doctors or go to walk-in clinics.
Can we get a second opinion from another family doctor or go to a walk-in clinic?

are free to obtain a second opinion from any MD or visit the walk-in clinic.
​
7. Q: I am Dr. Hurmatov's patient, but I also see a Naturopathic doctor.
Does Dr. Hurmatov support a patient seen by Naturopath?
​
A: Dr. Hurmatov accepts the idea of any safe treatment as long as she knows all the information about it. ​
8. Q: My Naturopath wants me to do blood work.
Can Dr. Hurmatov give me a requisition for it?
​
A: Dr. Hurmatov must have all medical information from Naturopath
and decide whether or not to do investigations after reviewing it.
Your naturopath can provide you with blood work requisition based on his/her decision.

9. Q: My chiropractor wants me to do some tests.
Can Dr. Hurmatov give me a requisition for it?

.
10. Q: Can you send a copy of my results to my chiropractor or naturopath?
​
A: Your other health providers must request a copy of your results with
a copy of your consent to release your information.
We will fax the requested information as soon
as the request and consent are received.
11. Q: Can I have a copy of my results?
​
A: Most laboratories have a website where you can see and download your results for free.
If you need a copy of your results printed in the clinic, there is a charge for such service:
The copy up to 10 pages is $1.00 per page
Copy of your chart: The first 20 pages are $30.00 and $0.25 for each additional page.
12. Q: I forgot what the doctor told me during the appointment.
Can she call me and repeat it for me?
​
A: Unfortunately, it is your responsibility to remember what has been discussed during your appointment.
Sometimes, the doctor makes written notes for the patients regarding their treatment plans,
if you need these notes, ask the doctor before the appointment starts.
Dr. Hurmatov does not provide telephone appointments;
you must call the clinic and schedule an appointment.
​
14. Q: My parents gave me the Power of Attorney (P.O.A.).
Why did your office refuse to provide me with the medical information of my parents?
​
A: First, your parents must bring a copy of the P.O.A. to the clinic for their file.
Second, the P.O.A. does not consent to release medical information. The Power of Attorney Act
is a mechanism to authorize the use of a power of attorney, a legally binding document
with which a person (the grantor) grants another person (the attorney) the ability to act on
their behalf in the event they are unable to make their own decisions.
Until your parent is declared incompetent, the P.O.A. has no legal grounds in the
process of making decisions or obtaining information.
For more information, please consult with your lawyer. ​
15. Q: Why can I book an online appointment only for one issue at a time?
​
A: When someone book an appointment online, the system blocks the regular appointment
spot in the schedule; remember, you must write the reasons for
an appointment when you book. This system cannot recognize your need for extra time
or the urgency of your problem. When you call the clinic for an appointment, you will be asked
several questions before booking an appointment, meaning you will be triaged.
Then, the appointment time will be given based on your described issue.
​
​
​
16. Q: You used to book urgent, same-day appointments for me; why you no longer allow me to have any urgent appointments?
​
A: When a patient was given an urgent appointment, it was based on the description
of his/her health problems and issues he or she presented during the call.
Sometimes, the patient must go to an emergency room due to his/her health condition.
Remember, we are not the hospital and not an emergency department.
However, we are always trying to accommodate those who require immediate help.
Unfortunately, some people lie about their issues and receive an urgent
appointment; they come to the clinic for non-urgent reasons.
When this happens, a note will be made in the chart.
When this person lies to us again to get an urgent same-day appointment without any
urgent issue, the note in the patient's chart will be made that a patient repeatedly lies about his/her health issues
to get an urgent same-day appointment.
As a result, this patient will be asked to go to the emergency room every time he or she calls
for an urgent appointment, and this patient will receive only regular appointments.
JUST REMEMBER THE TALE ABOUT A BOY WHO CRIED A WOLF.
