Had orientation July 28, HRRH, no call yet as to appointment date.  I called and they said they were backlogged due to holidays.  Anyone else in the same position?  Or, has anyone received their date?

I went through HRRH. Amazing people, helpful knowledgeable. However... I learned through these helpful forums that you can get lost in the mud. I called them 2 weeks post referral Jan 2013, then a month later. Was booked for orientation in March, then I called again to be placed on a short notice / cancellation appointment time slot. Had all of my appts in april/ early may. Got my opti in June , surgery was end of June !!! 5 months in total from referral until surgery. CALL REGULARLY!!

Call Booking Line 416-747-3879 and they will give you appointments.   If you font mind appointments for dietician / nurse and social worker not all being on the same day let them know.  I didn't care and got through faster.  Just waiting to see internist on Dec. 2 and buying my opti on Dec. 4

I had my orientation August 18 at HRRH and they said if you haven't heard anything within 6 weeks to phone.....I specifically asked and that is the answer she gave us.  I am waiting 2 more weeks, then will phone.  Try that booking line like the one poster said :)  GOOD LUCK!!!

Oh I have been calling once every 1 - 2 weeks since the time I should have received my dates and the answer is the same, with varying levels of annoyance of course.  "It was summer and we're behind..."  

We were told 2-4 weeks at orientation.

I had my orientation at HRRH on June 23rd.  Met with my surgeon Sept 9th and have all my other appointments on November 12th. 

There doesn't seem to be any continuity in times from person to person.
