Title: SRS in Ontario Canada now listed.
Post by: Steph on October 09, 2009, 11:37:55 AM
For my fellow Canadians...  and others...

Those of us who live in Ontario have a wonderful resourse available in Toronto visit Transpulse at their web site here:

www.transpulse.ca (http://www.transpulse.ca)

Additionally they have an extensive FAQ regarding SRS in Ontario which has finally been re-listed as a procedure covered by OHIP.  There are a few caveates of course, but you can read it for yourself here.

As an aside, I was browsing through Susan's photo galleries and I recognised a photo of one of Susans past members on the Transpulse web site - the flashing photos on the right.

For "SRS in Ontario" they refer you to Dr. Brassard in Montréal, Québec. >:-)
