Tom Maguire

Dr Tom has been my family doctor since I moved to Edmonton in 1979. He is thoughtful very intuitive and saved my life. He sent me to see a urologist when he didn’t like the shape of my prostate and although the urologist was not in agreement he sent me for a biopsy and lo and behold I was diagnosed with cancer in my prostate. He actually knew it had changed shape ever so slightly and we caught it early. I have since had Dr. Michael Chetner remove my prostate with nerve sparing laproscopic surgery and gave me a new lease on life. Tom has cared for both of my parents, my sister and brother in-​law and is famous for his extra attention to detail and incredible bedside manner. He has a great sense of humor and an amazing knowledge of medicine. What will we do when he retires? Mike Slade Millet Alberta

Dr. M is a brilliant man who is an excellent doctor with a knack for knowing exactly what’s wrong with you in the first 30 seconds. While highly intuitive and observing, he won’t jump to conclusions before he’s gotten the necessary x-​rays or MRIs to be absolutely sure. But his initial diagnosis has always been spot on.
He’s a friendly doc who, unlike many docs, isn’t rushing in and out of rooms. He takes time to talk with you. He’s older, so he went to med school about 40 years ago but keeps up on all the recent research. When you come into his office, he is usually at his desk doing some reading of the latest medical journals. It’s probably why he has so many patients and can’t accept new patients. Also if he knows you don’t have a medical plan he’s very generous with samples from pharmaceutical companies.
