Are there any cases where a treating doctor was found to be unreliable?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Farooq v. Miceli, 2012 ONSC 558 (CanLII):

Treating doctors are not immune from reliability challenges. In Greer v. Horton, [1996] O.J. No. 4826 (S.C.) at paras. 21-22, Epstein J. gave “little weight” to the treating doctor on the basis that his evidence “lacked objectivity.”
