Surgeon appt cancellations?
I have been trying to call since yesterday to see if I can get a cancellation. I see you and another member were bumped up for the surgeon appt. I am calling every 15 minutes but I can't get through at all.
Do you know if you are with Dr. Jackson, that is who I am meeting.
I don't know if I am calling the right number or not. Would you please confirm 416-603-5800 x6145.

to be honest I called a few times because often they're on another call! Keep trying :) I know the earliest they had today was April 7 but yesterday when I called they had nothing until June! So it's always changing. That number is the correct number so keep trying!!

Please don't assume I'm rushing, my first referral was 2 years ago :) I just wanted to know. However I do agree that not allowing yourself the time to make the right changes beforehand is detrimental.

They also told me that they need a few days to prep your file - so if you call on Friday they definitely won't be able to get you in that day. They have to book your appointment (and I guess other stuff too).

Yea I was told it is very rare and not as prospective as calling in for cancellations in the other departments. I was also told the surgeon appointments are only on Fridays! I think I will just patiently wait...as hard as that may be :)
