Eastdale Medical Clinic - Toronto, Ontario

I’ve been working with Dr. poplawska for 5 years now. She is really diligent and caring and though she can only see me for one issue at a time, when I had health concerns she scheduled very frequent follow up appointments with me. She also doesn’t hesitate to refer me to specialists when needed. I really have appreciated her care over the years! Also love that she offers phone appointments since I moved and no longer live in the area.

If you're looking for a doctor here, I'd suggest you don't have a doctor at all. I've had Vic Lin as my GP for 7 years, been having complaints about my stomach and vomiting for no reason, she just put me on some medicine she didn't explain what it was for, when I really needed an ednoscope to figure out what was happening. On top of all that I'm bipolar taking lithium, and she never mentioned or explained how this can affect my overall health. If you're mentally ill, neurodivergent or a person of colour expect stress, no calls or follow ups. On top of all that all seven years they've had my name spelled incorrectly in their system and so that giant mistake has followed me to my current doctor, in which I found out today, from my psychiatrist that it was spelled wrong on her end too. So now I have to take the time to correct this medically racist mistake on my records, on my own time, so you can see how much of good job they're doing.🙄 So please save your nervous system from the stress and find a doctor that isn't from this clinic. You will feel devalued, worthless and overlooked.

Terminated their relationship with me because I was not sick often enough for their satisfaction (according to the receptionist their patients are required to have an appointment at least once a year regardless of their health).

No communication with me whatsoever and did not follow the mandated guidelines from the CPSO, which clearly indicates that this is not allowable for the reasons given, that the patient MUST be notified and that interim care MUST be provided.

If it weren't so difficult to find a family doctor in Ontario, this would have been a relief as the last time I was there it was for a cancer scare and they never even bothered to call me with the results of the follow up tests ("we'll call you IF it's cancer")

Dr. Poplawska is a good doctor. I am not saying she is perfect. The doctor is truly caring and helping all her patients, I MEAN all her patients. I am not here to evaluate her, rather informing someone who needs a family doctor.
Dr. Poplawska has her own good time managing system. I think it works greatly for the majority of her patients. The coin has two sides, unfortunately. When you wait in the waiting room, you feel good to see her in timely manner, almost no waiting time. On the other hand, to keep all the appointments under control, she asks you to make another appointment in the future to discuss all the medical issues that you currently have. Some point, I selfishly hoped she would continue the session for another 15 minutes. Of course, that will make everyone in the waiting room UNHAPPY.
I was in the receiving end in the past. I used to wait for 30 to 45 minutes almost all the times with other medical professionals. With some specialists, I had to wait for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hrs.
A little inconvenience will benefit most of her patients. Like I said, the coin has two sides. Two or three appointments seems not so great, however, good news is you are seeing her on time or in no time.

I feel like the majority of reviews here are by people don’t understand how OHIP works. Doctors are given a set amount of time per patient and bill on a by condition basis. Meaning no, Dr Poplawska doesn’t have time to go over every concern you have. Do you work for free? I wouldn’t expect her to and that is exactly what you are asking of her. She is not “milking the system” This is why she asks you to book follow ups. Also, the Doctors here probably have thousands of patients each so keep that in mind.

Dr Poplawska does a good job of being on time. ImWhich I’m sure most people appreciate. I like her, Dr Lin and the receptionists a lot.

If you’re looking for the WORST family doctor look no further! Dr. Poplawska is the worst doctor I have ever had and I was going to her for YEARS at-least 7-8 years from the time the clinic had opened. First of all she never seems sure about diagnosis she’s very wishy washy always unsure / is always rushing you through your appointment. Second problem I had with her really felt unprofessional because it was really none of her business. Which was last year end of summer I had become pregnant as it was an unplanned pregnancy but not unwanted. I had come into the office and told her about my news and the first thing she had asked me is if I wanted to have an abortion, I said no I do not. I just wanted to know when I should go for my ultrasound she then asked me two more times during my appointment if I had wanted an abortion. I was then told if she feels that I am not mentally fit she wants to send me and my partner for a mental evaluation. I have no history of mental illness, my partner and I both work full time jobs and also have been educated (went to college, not that it matters) we both are well into our late 20’s. She then again asked my age I am 28 years old she then said oh I forgot I thought you were 18-19 which seemed weird to me as I had been seeing her for years/my date of birth should be on my health chart. Honestly it should not matter how old the mother is as it is the mothers choice. I felt as though she was insinuating that my partner and I were unfit parents that’s why she kept pushing abortion which made me upset. Lastly if you want to discuss more than one issue at a time she tells you that you have will need several appointments during the week to talk about anything further. I had a few problems I needed accessing and she made 4 appointments for me the same week and the following week. WhichI find ridiculous as I do not have the time to keep running back and forth to the doctors office with a 3 month old baby, when she could assess me while I am there. I had told her receptionist how unhappy I was with 4 appointments to follow as it was unnecessary and felt like she was just milking it for the OHIP I would like to cancel and rebook when I wanted. The next time I called I was told my information was no longer there and she had dropped me as a patient with NO WARNING and had transferred my files out, when I had asked where my files had gone I was told by the receptionist that they don’t know she just sent them out somewhere because I had canceled my appointments. I said how can you just transfer me and drop me as a patient I was told it was because I was unhappy with the service. I will 100% be filing a complaint against her to the CPSO. If you have another option for a doctor go anywhere else but here I would give her a zero star rating if that was possible.

I have never had a family doctors office that is so dismissive and careless. I’ve been trying to get an appointment for over a week with no responding to my calls or emails. Told them o possibly had Covid. Told me to still come in or I would lose my appointment.

Currently filing against medical negligence which was suggested by the ministry base on my consistent issue with this clinic.

Awful doctor at this clinic Dr. Poplawska, keeps you waiting for a long period of time in the waiting room then sees you for 5 minutes and tells you to come back for more appointments. She must really love the money from OHIP I have never been to a doctor that did not address everything at once. Very rude bedside manner too feels almost passive aggressive but in a nice fake snarky way wouldn’t recommend coming here unless you are desperate.
