Have you called Bathurst to ensure they haven't misplaced your referral? I remember a couple of years ago, one person only waited 10 months to have their surgery. I found that very frustrating.

I am not sure but I believe the wait for Dr. B in Moncton is even longer.  I am closer to Moncton but opted for Bathurst because of the shorter waiting time.

My referral was sent to Dr. Savoie end of March 2009.

I was told in the summer by Dr. Savoie's office that they are now 2 doing the surgeries and they are working off the same referral list.
