All of you with surgical dates and those recently done

Just wondering how many of you were patients of Dr Tang but switched to another surgeon because of the waitlist? I am hoping that this is lots of you as that would make time on the waitlist shorter.

I did. In January I was told it would be another 3-4 years before I got my surgery so I switched to Dr. Sampath and will be having my surgery 6 months after my first appointment.  Good luck to you.

I wasn't a patient of Dr. Tang's, but I did switch doctors.  I was seeing Dr. Malik (also in Victoria) and I doubt I would be having surgery yet if I hadn't switched.  I switched to Dr. Nguyen (who shares an office with Dr. Sampathy) and I saw him first in March, and now I'm having surgery Oct 31.  Good luck to you!

I'm not sure if Tang always goes but the waitlist, sometimes it seems he bumps people up if he feels your ready (ya didn't hear that from me lol), did he give you an idea of how long your wait would be?

I've heard the same thing, Rhonda.  I'm sure hoping it's the case.
