Dr. Jha saved my life, I had advanced stage 4 that had spread. He designed a treatment that would include feeding tubes, chemo, and radiation all at the same time. I lost 85 lbs, needed to be hospitalized for over 6 weeks following treatment, he stepped up when I needed a doctor to step up. I don’t care that he may have a different communication style than me, or seemed rushed, in fact, he is probably very rushed due to his incredible workload! I asked my diagnosis Oncologist/Surgeon who is only 1 in 4 head and neck oncologists in Canada to send me to the treatment Dr. he would refer his brother to, and he sent me to Dr. Jha. I will never ever be able to thank him for the 20+ months and counting I have had since treatment. I expect to be able to thank him when I see him in heaven!

Newly diagnosed with cancer, I was not expecting external beam radiation as first course of treatment and he was brutal, cold and short tempered about my questions. He dismissed everything I asked and would not explain the choice of treatment. He would not discuss potential side-effects saying that if it got rid of the cancer, I should not care. I was terrified, they put me in a room to watch a video about radiation and told me when to return for treatment in spite of the unanswered questions. I complained to the patient’s advocate office/hospital ombudsman. I refuse to see this doctor in clinic and have rescheduled if they mistakenly put me in on his clinic day.

This is probably one of the worst doctor in Edmonton. absolutely no mercy and no patience on patients.

As others have commented; abrupt, does not explain or answer questions. From our experience, seemed only interested in the patient getting the prescribed number of radiation treatments to the absolute end. People are just guinea pigs for study purposes. There is no attention to the individuals quality of life and the side effects that the patient will endure during treatment and for the rest of their life after the radiation. Chose a different Doctor.

Dr. Jha does not answer my questions and asked me once why would you want to know where the cancer has metastasized to. As a nurse, I feel belittled by his comments. It is like he is in a rush to leave the room. I have received appropriate treatment though.
