Dr. Michiel Van Den Hof - IWK Health Centre

I am currently seeing this doctor for a difficult pregnancy. I LOVE him. Very caring compassionate man. Without his calm demeanor and kind disposition, I would have lost my mind. Very very knowledgeable and doesn't miss a beat. I can't say enough.. Just an amazing doctor.

What a wonderful doctor who works in a team environment. I had to have emergency surgery last year due to a hematoma behind my vaginal wall. He was calm, well-informed and wonderful to everyone in the OR. I would trust him with my life!

An amazing doctor. My water broke at 18 weeks and I had a severe chronic placental abruption. The retroplacental clot was larger than the placenta itself. I needed quite a few blood transfusions. Odds were against survival in either of us. Without any doubt, without him I wouldn't have my 8 year old daughter. She was born at 28 weeks gestation. What I thought was amazing about him was that he doesn't assume just because one thing is one way in one patient that it is with another. If it was not for this, I wouldn't have gotten my blood transfusion one day because the nurses said since I was up and walking that I needed one. However he understood that because of the fact I was so used to this, that when I said I needed one, despite how the fact that upon visual inspection anyone would conclude I didn't, he trusted me and ran the labs. My hemoglobin was 62. There are many circumstances where I felt something was true and no one else believed me. But because he did is the only reason we are here. Thank you.
