Dr. Howard Seiden Medical review

[ChasingAmy 0]

Here's my review of the medical.

So I woke up extremely early and headed in for my medical making sure I have everything with me that I needed. I got there at 6:55 and was the first person there. I parked infront of the place on the street and paid the parking meter. No one else got there till 7pm and then they started coming in faster. Thankfully because I was first I didn't have to wait for the doctor and nurses to be done with other patients and I got helped right away by each of them. Thankfully the entire medical was done in that one building. Didn't have to worry about finding different parking elsewhere for other parts of the medical.

They took my passport, passport photos, money, and immunization records. I was told to sit in the waiting room which took about 5 minutes of waiting till the x-ray nurse came and got me. Snapped a few radiation pictures of me and then off to the room down the really narrow hallway for my physical. Gave them my medical history and they checked my height, weight, and blood pressure in that room. Then off to the next room down the hall for them to steal my blood. Almost painless...I didn't pass out this time thankfully. Then that's it...they handed me back my stuff and I headed out. I was out of there by about 8:50. So in total the whole event only took just under 2 hours. Felt like 30 min though.

I'd recommend if you can use this place instead of any others then do so. Seamless, flawless, and speedy. Wish the rest of the process would be like this.

You have that right Amy. This was the best physical I have been through and quick too. I agree with you, why can't the rest of the process be completed in such a timely fashion.

Hi Roger:

We saw you there. Remember the tall bald guy, the shorter Japanese girl and the tall teenager who came in after you, and sat across from you? That was us! Too bad we didn't get a chance to talk! Mary had an easy experience too. Maybe I can get her account and post it here as well. It didn't take long but we were bummed that the St. Lawrence market was closed cuase we really wanted some back bacon sandwiches for breakfast...

Thanks for the review ChasingAmy! I was going to write one for my husband's Medical at Dr. Howard Seiden's office, but essentially, he had the exact same experience as you did. I went with him and we got there about 6:50am and thought we were the first people there, but when they opened the dorrs there were already two people sitting in the waiting room. Not sure how that happened, but we too were out by 9am.

He had his shot records from our doctor - for he already had many of the immunizations needed for the interview. That made things go much faster. Another person on VJ did a review of the other doctor in ON and mentioned that they had to go to a 2nd place for the x-ray so, I made sure this doctor did everything in one place. Very smooth and very easy. Turns out one of the Doctors is a South African (as is my husband orginally) and so they chatted it up about that longer than the actual exam lasted. I also recommend this doctor's office for your medical.

Since we live almost an hour outside the city, we paid the extra $20 to have it sent by courrier and it came in just a few days.

P.S. I also agree that parking was easy and if you get there early street parking begins at 7am and we had our pick of parking spots and made it back before our 2 hour ticket was up.

6 days till our interview!!! I am getting nervous

I was looking at the web site for the medical exams. I see that there are differnet locations(Toronto, Montreal & Windsor).

When the time comes I'm planning on going to the one in Windsor.

I saw the fees....why is it almost $100 more in Windsor than Toronto????? That's BS. Isn't it the SAME exam?

Maybe they get less patients in Windsor than they do in Toronto, but still!
