Patient Generated Physician List

This list has been generated by people that use this document. If your physician is not here, please send us the name, address and phone number and a rating of 1 to 10 based on 1 being poor and 10 being very good. We average the scores when given, and post them.

Pleases keep in mind that these are subjective opinions only. I might rate a doctor as a 1 and your might think he’s a 10.  So use caution in weighing the rating scale.

10th floor, Eaton and Norman Urquhart wings of the TGH. This is the Multiple Organ Transplant Unit. Kudos to all the nurses and staff for the wonderful job they do. They handle all forms of TX due to a myraid of causes of organ failure, and are completely up to date on Hep C. Those who need TX have 3 places to go: TGH, London, or Windsor.  As TGH is a teaching hospital associated with the U of T, some of the Drs. do not perform actual transplants but are head of the evaluation teams.
