How were you first contacted for your first consult? Was it via mail or phone call?

I've been on the list since Dec 2009 to see Dr.Savoie.  His secretary said I would hear from them about my first consult by mail.

Thanks. Glad I called because they had an old address. They are working on February 2009 consults and those appointments are being made for September 2011.

Not a problem..glad I  was able to help.  Well hopefully with me being on the list since December 2009, I'll get in before the end of next year *crossing fingers*

I have been on the list since March 2009. Almost everytime I call the timelines change. I think that may be due to priority cases and other factors beyond their control. I met someone who had their referral go in December 2009 and they were bypassed in September 2010.  So it can be different for everyone because when I inquired about how they determine "the list" I was told it was by date that referral went in and that at times Dr. Savoie will request someone to be pushed ahead of the list.
