Not only does he not have a bedside manner, especially with children, he doesn't care. I took my child in to emergency with a high fever, he sent him home, advising that "nothing was wrong with him". The same evening, I took my son to another hospital and we spent the night. He had a very bad ear and throat infection. The on-call doctor was appalled that he was sent home the same morning.

Ive met with This doctor and I found him very nice, helpful and was ontime for my appt. Ive decided to switch doctors from a fort mcmurray doctor and he took me in last minute, as I am 38 weeks. Compared to my last doctor, I think Dr. Birkill is Awesome!!

last year i went to see an eye specialist about getting eye surgery. when i left the office i had an irritation in my eye. it progressed into severe eye swelling and pussing. allergy tests showed no signs of allergies, yet when i went to the hospital to get my eye checked while it was still very puffy and swollen, as did my husband have a bit of a red bloodshot eye, dr. birkell unfortunately was the doctor to help us, and he took one look at us, asked if we had allergies, which neither of us do, so we told him no, yet he did not listen, he told us that it was due to alllergies, and perscribed us both with allergy eye drops and claratin. needless to say i was not impressed with him, and he was only with us for about 5 minutes max. i very much dislike the way dr. birkell does things.

Dr. B's been getting a rough ride. We are fresh from his services through the weekend. We have him, his surgical collegues, O.R. staff and hospital staff to thank for our 9 lb. 12 oz. bundle of joy. Dr. Birkhill was friendly, pleasant and incredibly helpful. He went out of his way to offer my wife the simple, but much appreciated comfort of freshly heated covers while she was in the operating room and helped her cope with the effects of the anesthesia. His efforts weren't put on, they were very genuine. We are both very grateful to him for his excellent patient care. Rob McKinley

This man has zero personality, is extremely rude, and no professionalism. It’s not hard to tell that he has some sort of “authority” complex.

Dr birkhill is a awesome dr. Very knowledgeable. Very smart and always busy. He has alot of people to see. Saved many lives and is spot on with his diagnose very close to all the time. When you see hundreds of patients weekly what do you expect. You think he wants to hear your lives story. Doctors dont have time for chit chat cause the next patient is in line waiting. Some reviews I see on here are just people that probably complain about everything in there lives. Ffs if he was miss diagnosing people his med license would of been pulled. He is a dr that saves lives and that’s the bottom line. Dont like it drive to plampndon and go see the villages dr instead. Idiot’s. Dr birkill keep up the great work. Thank you for saving my life

Doesn’t give patients appropriate time. He needs to work on his people skills and have a little empathy.

Arrogant and ignorant
Please investigate this so called doctor
I am calling the college of physicians to report him
He sent me back to work full duties with serious rotator cuff injury
Needed surgery
He did not even sent me for an ultrasound and lied and said he sent me for physio which I refused
Damn you Richard Birkhill. Definitely does not possess the qualities of a medical doctor.

Completely agree with one of the previous comments that this doctor should not be allowed to practice due to his arrogance, very poor interpersonal skills and lack of basic human respect (or absence of it?). I have heard the same opinion from too many former patients of him. I brought my mother into the emergency with high blood pressure. Out of the blue Dr. Burkhill insisted that she had a urinary tract infection despite a negative urine test! If not a friendly advice and help from a nurse on duty, my mom would have been given a handful of antibiotics!!! Those people that speak good of this doctor are poor souls that have never had a chance to see a true medical professional with proper work ethic skills. They would have had a completely different opinion if they had seen Dr. Ward, or Dr. Mare, or Dr. DeRidder, or Dr. Claassen.
