I've had Dr. Verma for at least 25 years. I would say he is very knowledgeable but his social side is rather lacking at times which has made it a challenge for me at least when it comes to getting up the courage to talk to him about health related stuff that can be embarrassing to talk about. The clinic's hours aren't great (although he does work later of Thursday I believe) but he was willing to do appointments over the phone with me which came in handy when I had to do school in person up north for a few weeks at a time. Overall from my dealing with other doctors in other places such as emergency rooms and walk ins I don't mind him.

I've been a patient at the clinic for over 30 years and I've found him to be a very attentive doctor. It's true that Dr. Verma does not refill prescriptions, which can be annoying at times, but he prefers to be very hands-on as he reviews prescriptions in order to prevent unnecessary over-use (i.e. painkillers) or to update to newer/better medicine. I've found the receptionist to be accommodating with appointments, especially if it's urgent. I've never had any issues and, where Dr. Verma's expertise is lacking, he is always willing to refer me to other medical specialists.

dr verma is constantly late mornings for bloodwork and afternoons because he goes home for lunch and doesn't give himself enough time to drive back. he will not do anything over the phone (need a refill, go to emerg). inflexible hours if you have a job (usually 10-4 nice w/1.5hr lunch). doesn't seem up to date and is a clock watcher. transferring out after 8 yrs in the guild. and his "physicals" last 3 minutes.

Not the most friendly environment. Reception can be fairly rude. I was looking for a new family doctor at the time and would have understood if they were not accepting patients but they made me feel bad for even inquiring. Not impressed.
