I don`t understand these poor reviews as Dr. Jarvis is the kindest sweetest lady in her field. I feel she is very knowledgeable and always works to give the best for her clients.

I am shocked and upset over the last review of Dr Jarvis. I agree that I am not seen on time, but I have never waited more than 45 minutes. I wait up to 3 hours for my family doctor and a minimum of 1 1/2 hours for my gynaecologist. Once my mother and I are seen by Dr Jarvis, she never rushes us, even though my mum takes a while to explain her concerns as well as to get undressed . Dr Jarvis has diagnosed one melanoma, and two other skin cancers in my mum. Once we did see a dermatologist closer to home ( we drive down from Muskoka), . That was scary. We were with that doctor about 2 minutes. We were only allowed to ask that doctor one concern per visit. We are very grateful to have found Dr. Jarvis.!

This doctor is very upsetting. She is playing in a field she does not understand very well at all. She has treated me for about a year and my problems are becoming worse. She is not confident in her ability to treat patients I find. Everything is like a guessing game. Her answer to everything is polysporin when she makes mistakes. I also tried a cosmetic procedure with her wich turned out disasterous. She needs to stick to just dermatology. She does not know what she is doing half the time. I do not trust her and she is not honest with her patients.

Dr. Jarvis is my favourite doctor. I was referred to her 9 years ago by my family doctor for my bad acne. I was only 28, but she took the time to talk to me. She gradually got me using the right treatments and always answered my questions. I my self confidence back as my acne got better. Two years ago, she saw a dark mole on my leg. I told her it was just my birthmark, but she insisted I come back that week and took it off. It was a melanoma. She literally saved my life.

Dr. Jarvis was very nice, but she did seem to show up an hr. after her appts started - I made it in and out in an hour and a half - but someone had to go put more $$ in the meter and I was able to jump the line.

Great Dr. but no one ever answers the phone! Very frustrating!!

Dr. Jarvis’ receptionist/scheduler is utterly incompetent. Her telephone manner is awful and she doesn’t remember phone calls and therefore doesn’t schedule appointments thereby wasting patients’ time and denying them the care they need from Dr. Jarvis. Avoid this doctor because of her staff!

I absolutely love Dr. J. She always takes time to LISTEN to my concerns. She is highly detailed, obviously skilled, and goes above and beyond to look after me, even when I had to leave the country for 8 months. And I’m thrilled with my results every single time. I feel confident being in group photos again! The attention to detail and level of personal care from Dr. J makes her special. Other doctors take note!

I have been a patient of hers for more than 14 years. She is a very caring and thorough doctor. If she does not have the answer she will find it and get back to you either via phone call or email. So times she cancels appt but it is not done without thought for her patients. The office usually calls to rebook the same day. She also does on call work at a few hospitals for skin cancer and burn patients who come into the emergency dept. I have seen her give up many Christmas holiday seasons over the years to carry a pager for an emergency department. She will take as much time as you need to make sure your concerns are dealt with.
She does run late sometimes but it really is no worse than any other specialist I see. At least she apologizes for the wait which many doctors do not.
The best thing about her is that she is always upgrading her knowledge with conferences and courses. She also passes on her knowledge to other doctor and nurses.
Better a good doctor who is busy than a bad one who has nothing but free time.

Extremely helpful, sat down and took the time to look over my skin with me, unlike other doctors who make you wait over an hour to only address one concern and are out before they finish their sentence. Dr Jarvis is worth the wait.
