Hello. Just wondering if anyone has had Dr. Okrainec as their surgeon? Not a lot of information available about him online. I met Dr. Penner during my meeting with the surgeon but have been told Dr. Okrainec will be performing my surgery.

Hi..i am having Dr Okrainec for surgery which is this Friday Feb 19. I have met him 3 times and he is very nice. Everything I have read and what people tell me indicates that he is a very good surgeon. When is your surgery schedule?

Hi Ginny...I guess Dr Okrainec is seeing you right before my surgery, it is at Noon.  I really think you will like him. Easy to talk to. I am my last 2 days of Optifast and it really hasn't been that bad.

I had Dr. Okrainec for my surgery Dec. 18th ... he is lovely! My surgery went very well and knock on wood I had no issues after my surgery ... not a lot of pain, no anything really and I actually went back to work January 4th and haven't looked back since .  You are in good hands with Dr. Okrainec and the team at TWH! All the best!

hello Cathy I see that you live in etobicoke.  I live in etobicoke too and would love to have a walking buddy.  I have met some lovely ladies that meet once /month at the Tim Horton on Lawrence and Weston Road.  We are always looking for more wonderful people to share wonderful stories with.
