Hi everyone. This is my first post. My name is Ross and I'm from Orangeville, Ontario. I'm slowly getting my life back together after some personal and medical challenges and am working towards having my doctor refer me to the bariatric registry. I weigh about 550lbs. +/-.

My question is does anyone know of either a dentist and or eye doctor who can accommodate a person of size. Their standard chairs just won't do as and I said I'm trying to catch up on things which I have lagged on. I am going to touch base with the two colleges involved but I thought someone here might have personal experience. Thanks so much!!!

When looking for an eye doctor ask if they accommodate people in wheelchairs. That means they you will not have to sit in their chair.

Some that come to mind are Dr Juricic, Dr Rutherford, or Dr Stevens. Google them and try their offices.

Dentists would probably be the same. Doctors that are willing to acomodate people who are diabled would be your bet bet. Also the Dental college in downtown Toronto
