I was referred to Humber River ? Hear that Dr. Starr is very good. Any way to put in a request ?

Also, my doctor told me that I should be calling them myself to speed up the process, since referrals can be lost or forgotten, and time will be wasted. Is that true ?

It is true that calling the clinic at Humber sometimes gets you appointments booked. Not sure about the request after referral. I requested Dr. hagan but that was on my referral that was sent to the registry. Perhaps others are aware of this.

Best of luck

I requested Dr Hagan as all my friends had him....but I got Dr Huynh and I couldnt be happier!!! He is such a nice Dr....speaks to me like im a real human and not a "case" like I have been before some other surgeons.

If you get Dr Huynh is he awesome!!!!!!

What they said in orientation at Humber is that you can let them know who you prefer and if that surgeon is available they will try to accommodate your request but they don't make any promises - All of the surgeons at Humber appear to be excellent.
