Dr. Laval was the gynaecologist that was assigned to me after I requested to take my first set of BC pills. After a few months, I wanted to switch to another brand as I felt that the first brand that I was prescribed wasnt working for me. She made me feel genuinely stupid and uncomfortable about my inquiries regarding the new brand and with BC in general and therefore pressured me to take the new brand that she wanted for me. After my appointment with her, I went to a pharmacist because I felt that I was missing some information from my appointment with Dr.Laval and I also had my suspicions about the BC that she wanted to switch me to.The pharmacist told me that the brand she’s trying to switch me to is a big jump, and puts me at a higher risk of my concerns with the first brand that I was prescribed. In short, find a different gynaecologist that will respect your opinions, even though your opinions may or may not be 100% accurate based on their knowledge. If I started the new prescription that she wanted for me to take, my experience with BC would almost certainly be exponentially worse. I felt like an idiot leaving the appointment with her.

I saw doctor Laval first for a period that would not end! and she didn’t help me so I ended up going on a birth control to regulate it (even though I wanted more children) which as a result I lost my gal bladder due to the yasmin birth control. She was always late after I drove 2 hours to see her only twice. I finally gave up hope and let it go. Till 2011-2012 my partner and I suffered two miscarriages and it crushed me so I went back to see her cause in northern ontario wait times are retarded. she made me wait a extra hr, ate her lunch infront of me and basically sent me to get blood work, go to get it and the lab had no clue as to her instructions & 4 tests had to be paid for! I ended up not getting the blood work then i found out she was retiring in a day! she then proceeded to not really care about what was happening or the tests said i might have a blood clotting diease and i could take needles&pills or give up. very rude and heartless i’m glad she retired horrible stupid doctor

Dr. Laval is really friendly and knowledgeable. Made me feel very comfortable and offered several suggestions to help treat the issues I was having. She’s also very up to date on new products, procedures, medications, and thinking. Knows what she’s talking about and fixed my problem completely.

I urge you to exercise utmost caution when considering consultations with this medical professional. It’s perplexing that Appletree Medical Group continues to employ her, given her evident lack of competence and professionalism. Her approach not only demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of her responsibilities but also poses a significant risk to patient care.
Her demeanor is not only exceptionally rude but also indicative of deeper issues that adversely affect her interactions with patients. She displays a blatant disregard for patient concerns, often proposing treatments that are not only unreliable.
It is critical to highlight that her unwillingness to listen or consider patient feedback compromises the quality of care she provides. This was evident to me after just two consultations, prompting me to cancel all future appointments immediately. My experience, which I initially doubted, was validated upon reading several other reviews from former patients who shared similar grievances.
For anyone in need of medical attention, I strongly recommend seeking assistance from any other practitioner. The risks associated with this doctor’s care are not worth taking, and you are likely to receive better support and understanding from another medical professional.
