I have been taking my 78 year old dad to see flook for almost 4 years now, and I have to say that he NEVER remembers what medication he started, what specialist he referred my dad to, or even the fact that my dad has been waiting almost 2 years for a hip replacement surgery. He stares at the computer and just say he wants to follow up in a month?! I am honestly flabbergasted that this individual practices medicine?! He seems clueless!

My dad has been seeing him for a few years and on a few occasions he will send my dad to the hospital for pretty minor things. Once he had a cough and was worried about pneumonia, but my dad was totally fine. The other time my dad was constipated and flook thought it was appendicitis. Turned out it was constipation. I spoke with the ER doctors at the hospital and they said that flook tends to do that often. I understand being cautious, but you have to have some judgement. Its a hassle for an older guy waiting in the emergency room for hours. My dad wants to find another doctor, which I agree with.

I am nurse, so I have lots of experience with doctors and he just rubs me the wrong way. I don't expect to know everything, but at least remember what medications you started me on. He had the wrong chart open and was telling me he was not sure why birth control pills would be giving worsening anxiety. Finally, I told him I am not on birth control pills and that I was referring to my cipralex. Edmonton really needs more doctors, because this guy cannot be the best there is.

He has been our doctor for years, but we would switch to someone else if we could, but there are no doctor in Edmonton taking patients. He always sends me to see specialists, when I see the specialist, they say that the family doctor could have managed these issues. I had a rash last year, he referred me to a dermatologist, that took 2 months to see me. The dermatologist spent 2 seconds with me and gave me a steroid cream and actually said, your family doctor should have prescribed this.

Nice doctor but he never seems to know what he’s doing and always chooses to just refer you somewhere else. Really makes me doubt his abilities. He’s also extremely arrogant and dismissive.

Dr. Flook is exceptionally kind and compassionate. He understands us and has ensured that our medical needs have been met over the course of many years. In our opinion he has been the best physician we have ever encountered and we are very grateful to have found him.

Seen him a few times, because its hard to find a doctor in the city. I find him to be crass and incredibly arrogant. I shared my nursing background, which of course he was very dismissive over. I think I will look for another doctor.

Great doctor! I’m grateful that Dr. Flook has been doing telephone appointments where possible since the pandemic began.

Dr Flook is the most excellent, knowledgeable and compassionate family physician. We couldn’t ask for a better or more professional family doctor. He is excellent at teaching patients how to maintain health and manage symptoms. If something is beyond the scope of family medicine, he is takes the time to refer patients for specialist care. He is attentive and always follows up on test results and referrals to ensure resolution of concerns. We feel very fortunate to be under his care!

So incredibly condescending! Let’s get you seen by a dermatologist. Let’s get you seen by a pulmonary doctor. Let’s get you seen by a heart doctor. Does he do anything himself? He’s always wanting to follow up in a month. He should learn how to manage the problems currently and by himself. Seems like he lacks confidence and competency.
