Cost/wait time in Canada???
Cost/wait time in Canada??? Can anyone share? I live in Ontario.
Re: Cost/wait time in Canada???
I am also in Ontario, Canada. My urologist in Kingston gave me a referal to surgeon in London, Ontario. I met with him on Oct 28, 2013 surgery is scheduled for April 17, 2014.
From what my urologist said there are 2 places in Ontario where inflatable implants are covered by OHIP (London & Ottawa). I believe there are other surgeons doing malleable, which might also be covered.
Where in Ontario are you?

Who is your urologist up in Kingston, canada Dr. Steele? I hear he is one of the best in Canada for implants.
Re: Cost/wait time in Canada???
Dr. Steele is my urologist in Kingston, he's amazing; did my slling but isn't doing the implant. From my conversation with him I believe there are only 2 in Ontario that do the inflatable that is covered by OHIP - Dr. Brock in London and Dr. Bella in Ottawa.
What is the reason for your implant - diabetes/prostate cancer....?
Where in Ontario are you located?

I'm in the US not Ontario, a friend of mine up there had Dr. Steele do his implant at KGH but he had to pay for it. From what I hear Steele is one of the best in North America. Which implant are you getting?
Re: Cost/wait time in Canada???
Not sure yet which one it will be, he gave me info about both AMS and Titan. Possibly that will be decided at my pre-surgery appointment.
