I went through TWH and a transfer was arranged to Guelph for me. I had a call on Monday to meet the surgeon on the Friday OF THE SAME WEEK! He booked the surgery three weeks later and was excellent. It is a smaller hospital (which I prefer), they have an excellent clinic, and your follow-up (other than seeing the surgeon a month later - which was optional) is done completely through TWH. I'm two hours away from Toronto and just over two hours from Guelph. I am thankful there is flexibility in the program and for me, due to staffing issues, it worked perfectly.

Good luck to everyone and, as mentioned, a phone call or email doesn't hurt.

Likewise. I had an appointment to meet the surgeon March 15. My file was transferred and things moved fast. I cancelled the appointment and had my surgery a week after I would have just met the surgeon at TWH. I was a VERY thankful patient.
