Re: ohip coverage in Ontario

[Guest guest]

Ellen,

Try Dr. KIM, Ottawa General Hospital. He did my left hip on May 11th.

Fully covered by OHIP.

I love this site !!

Ask a question, get an answer in WOMAN time - NOW!!!

Thanks for the suggestion and the info about OHIP. The OHIP part is

encouraging. I do have his number and have tried to call him twice -

answering machine both times and have left a message however I wrote

him a letter today. I have a doctor's appointment with my regular

gp next week for a referral as my ortho will probably not recommend

this treatment. Any other suggestions?

I have been accepted as a candidate at Dr. DeSmet office in Belgium

however I would prefer to stay in Ontario. How long has Dr. Kim

been doing this procedure?

How are you doing and are you happy with the results?

You can email me at home email address unless you want to post it -

either way is fine.

Thanks, Ellen
