Rude staff, which is echoed by this physician. Knowledge less than average and referrals come slowly and irregularly. Still waiting for the dermatological referral that was asked for two years ago

Dr. Sathi was my doctor my entire life, and when I was a child she was kind and lovely to be around but in the past 6-7 years, she has become incredibly unpleasant. I agree with the other reviews when they state that she is condescending. I rarely bring up concerns about my body in fear that she will shut me down.

I am just astounded. So many of the reviews on this site are so unlike my experience of Dr. Sathi. She has been my doc since 1993. My infant son also became her patient at that time and I never had a worry. About 10 years ago she saw me through 2 back-to-back cancer diagnoses. I will be forever appreciative of the support, generosity of spirit, warmth and professionalism she offered through this difficult time. While I have not seen her as often over the last few years, this is not specific to her but rather due to my use and preference for alternative approaches to health and wellness. I did just see her last week and my experience of her as a doctor remains as I've already stated (i.e.: positive). She continues to be respectful of my health management choices even though I daresay we might not always agree on the route to take. It is just inconceivable to me to see her in the light that has been portrayed in some of these reviews. While I cannot dismiss others' experiences, I also know that review sites will ultimately be used more by those with a complaint. Hopefully my feedback can help offset any imbalance accordingly.

I saw 'DR' Sathi at Athlete's Care on King St in Toronto. I had never met her before, she was cold and robotic from the get go, ordering me to disrobe and was argumentative and hostile when I asked questions. She was unprofessional, sarcastic and obviously not well mentally to the point where I simply excused myself and left. I have degrees in psychology and know this person is not mentally fit to work with the public...I have NEVER encountered a health care provider, let alone an MD (I would like to see proof of her transcripts), this unwell and unprofessional...I actually consider he dangerous and have filed a formal complaint with the college of surgeons. I strongly advise that you never subject yourself or a loved one to this very ill person. 'Dr.' Sathi is a horrible MD and a mentally ill person in my opinion. Stay away.

Dr. Sathi was incredibly rude and condescending when I told her I was struggling with exhaustion and dizziness and was in desperate need of help (the fact that I couldn't finish a sentence without crying would have clued in even a first year dr that I was suffering with depression, which I didn't understand at the time). I came back a 2nd time and she greeted me with "what do you want now!?" When even your GP can't offer you a tiny bit of support, suicide seemed the only option. I managed to pull through no thanks to her. She did nothing for me other than a basic physical (which was probably a good place to start) then told me MONTHS later that I had "pre-cancer" signs and sent me to a specialist. She did not explain ANYTHING about that. Turns out it wasn't very serious at all, just needed to be monitored. I was terrified. It took me 3 years to get up the courage to go to another doctor again. She nearly killed me. Mental health matters too.

Hard to see her because she works part-time. Often backed up when you do see her.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sathi for the past 14 years and I have found her to be very concientious and attentive. She has a very busy practice and sometimes the appointments are not always ontime…but it is hard to predict the problems that can pop up so I do understand.

Dr. Nandini Sathi is a good physician. She is kind and knowledgable – though waiting to see Dr. Sathi is maddening. In my many visits I have yet to been seen within 45 mins of my scheduled appointment – yes I time it. I wish she would stick within 15 mins of her appointments. Other than that, she’s good.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sathi’s for many years. She is tops in her medical knowledge. However, I definitely feel her approachability has declined significantly over time. Aside from the extremely frustrating delays when you have an appointment, she has seemed to be less invested in the patient as an individual person and definitely more cranky and distracted. Very disappointing and I feel like I am imposing on her when I go for an appointment. Thank you.

Nandini has been our family doctor for over 10 years. She has respected our preference for limited interventions and medications, and remembers my medical history even when running into me in the grocery store. I have received excellent care from other members of the team when she has been unavailable for short-notice appointments. The only downsides to her care have been the long wait-times and the mediocre front-desk staff.
