Reviews of Dr. Michael Tenki (Doctor)

Dr Tenki is *wonderful*. He listens when you talk, he doesn't just throw medication at everything, and he will be as in-depth and technical as you want him to be (or don't want him to be). He keeps up on changing technology/information, and he's just a wonderful, wonderful doctor. Unfortunately, having Dr Tenki means you have to deal with his rude, incompetent receptionists. I consider this a necessary evil, because you will not find a doctor as good as Dr. Tenki in this area. Bar none.

Didn't have a good experience with this Dr. Very rude receptionist. Glad that I moved to a different practice.

Quite possibly the worst doctor I had the misfortune of being assigned to. Glad I got the boot from his sad practice.

Great family doc. When he's not 100% sure about something, he's honest about it and gets out his laptop to be 100% sure. Family docs need to know a little about everything and he does a great job giving you the facts/statistics while referring to a specialist when he knows he's out of his area of expertise. I've come across a few family docs who pretend they know everything and won't listen to the concerns of the patient. Dr Tenki is not one of them. Considering the state of current provincial healthcare funding, Dr. Tenki and his team is delivering a great public service.

The very first time I went in and was asked a series of questions the doctor "joked" that it wouldn't be that profitable having me as a patient since I'm rarely sick and not on any medications. Not a great first impression, but care portion was fine. On Christmas Eve morning a couple of years ago I woke up without the ability to hear out of one ear. Since I had a cross-country flight the following day, I needed to find out if flying would render me permanently deaf. I called the doctor, but he was, of course, on vacation. I went to a walk-in clinic. Weeks later I received a letter that I was being dropped as a patient. He wasn't available to help me when I needed it, and I should have apparently just canceled the flight; waited; and come in at his convenience. I called the clinic immediately and explained that my issue couldn't wait, and that I didn't want to lose the doctor I had waited thirteen years to get. The girl on the phone promised - literally swore - that the practice wouldn't drop me. Today, I called with a serious, non-covid-related issue and was told that I was "dropped from the roster" in 2017 via a letter. I tried explaining to the woman on the phone that I hadn't received a second letter, but she said going to walk-in clinics cost the doctor "a lot of money". Had the doctor been available to help me when I needed it, I wouldn't have gone to ANY walk-in clinics ever. I guess my injuries need to align themselves with the doctor's vacation schedule so that I could avoid needing care when he's on the golf course. Turns out the girl I spoke to on the phone in 2017 that promised not to drop me? She lied. I was indeed dropped. I guess I should apologize for rarely getting sick and rarely needing a doctor. Perhaps Dr. Tenki should advertise that he's only interested in taking on chronic care patients who need a lot of medication because they are far more profitable than a non-smoking; non-drug-using; non-alcoholic-drinking woman in fine health.

Rude phone manner. Doesn't care what you have to say. Shuts you down. No empathy. No working together. Rude rude rude no matter how nice you try to sound. And only lets you pay cash so he doesn't have to pay taxes on his fee. it's ok CRA has been informed.

Dr Tenki is a great Doctor...we have had great experiences at his office. The receptionist is responsive and acts on things in a timely manner.

I just had my first appointment with Dr. Tenki and I couldn’t have asked for more. I have a complicated medical history and even being his last appointment of the day he took so much time with me and I feel completely supported in my medical plan. He was so knowledgeable, I feel very grateful to have him as my physician. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

The receptionist is cold and unfeeling. She just goes through the motions and it's very off putting. She is rude and abrupt and does not have empathy. Dr. tenki is ok not amazing just basic ok. He did listen to me unlike my last docter. how ever he seems.to.not know how things work . Trying to get.onto odsp seems like he isn't very helpful. My legal.aid team has had dealings with him and they didn't seem thrilled he was my doc. I would go.to a different t docter who has more time and doesn't take Friday off. Almost no afternoon appointments avail and I have had to wait for a while after my appointment "start" and yet bc of symptoms I have missed 2 doc appointments but called each time and explained. I now owe 80 dollars even though Dr. TENKI has been late. Where is My late fee hmm ?? Docters always with the power dynamics and stealing from poor people.

Literally the worst doctor I've ever had in my entire life. Does not care about his patients whatsoever. Calling hours are ridiculous and it's extreamly hard to get an appointment.

Katie Kish

Dr. Tenki trusts me like no doctor before has - he believes in the pain that I have and includes me in decision processes for treatment plans. His receptionists and nurses are very kind to both me and my daughter.

Maggie Guerra

Dr Tenki doesn't pull punches. He tells you what's wrong and doesn't assume that you won't understand. Great to work with and his staff is wonderful.

Robert Reid

We have been patients of Dr. Tenki's for a few years now, at first we had our reservations as your health is somewhat based on trusting your physician. After a few years I can confidently say that I trust Dr. Tenki. He listens when you have a problem, and if he doesn't know the answer he researches it for you, the office staff are great as well. Our referrals are always returned lightning fast, and they have no problem getting back to insurance, or other care providers often within 24hrs. Most of the complaints on here seem related to rude services, or a feeling of uncaring, people need to understand that doctors offices are typically really busy. We just need to be conscience that these are people too who have lots of work and patients. Thank you and your staff for the care you've provided.

Dr. Tenki is extremely thorough, kind and knowledgeable. He never hesitates to refer to a specialist if necessary. Staff has always been kind. Office is simple and concise in design. I have never had a long wait and can usually get in for same day emergencies if needed.

I understand all about making money but when it comes to being a doctor I thought they whould have some compasion . Not here for sure all about the money! update if you do not post a favorable post this doctor will get rid of you as this has happened to me. Like I said in the earlier post all about the money Here!

Jimmy Stone

This dude is the biggest moron, I don't know how in the world he's a doctor. His idea of a full physical examination is checking your blood pressure, and that's it. I'm not kidding. Smoke pot? Get ready to get the boot. Tell him your in pain? He'll tell you to book another appointment. He'd rather milk the OHIP then actually take care of his patients. I hope he does all his patients a favour and gets hit by a car. Unfortunately, I couldn't give him 0 stars, 1 star is being wayyyyyy to generous.

My last 2 doctors told me to suck up my health issues and would say 'such is life'...i found that very discouraging. Dr. Tenki actually listened, emphasized and seems very pro-active. Right now i feel very grateful that i found him.

Desmond Zinck

Dr. Michael Tenki is an excellent doctor. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone that is looking for a family doctor.

Worse doctor ever. Honestly. He screwed me over of my medication. Dropped me as a client because I went to a clinic when I had an ear infection. Called my pharmacy and told them to down my script. Now I'm in pain because I was taking 2 up to 4 times a day but he changed it WITHOUT telling me to only 1 a day for 28 days. He diagnosed me with something I dont have and pushed for over a dozen refills of inhalers. His receptionist is very rude and the place doesn't not at all feel welcoming. Please if you're reading this do not get this doctor.

Nicol Jackson

Had Dr. Tenki years ago when we lived in a small town. If it wasn't for the knowledge he has and his persistence into making sure he treats each patient with the utmost care, our son would have quite possibly died. Dr. Tenki diagnosed him and had him into a specialist and treated within hours. I will never forget what he did for our son. Best of luck to him in Kitchener. Anyone who has him as a doctor should feel privileged.

Alex and Candy Bailie

Dr. Tenki is the best family doctor we have ever had. My wife and I are so very thankful to have such an intelligent, knowledgeable and caring family physician.

Janine Mountenay

Sara Edwardson
