Switching Doctors In Montreal? Posted: 08-15-06 06:43am
Hi there...I would really love it if
someone who has been pregnant in montreal
could answer this post; i'm wondering if I
should switch doctors. Here is why: a
regular pregancy checkup for me (at 17
weeks) goes like this:
i come to the doctor's office. I weigh
myself. I wait between 1-3 hours to see
the doctor. Get put in doctor's office.
She comes in, puts ultrasound on, says,
"look see the baby's hear beating?" takes
it off, tells me to take an appointment
for week of..., and leaves. Is this
normal???
And how do I find out about other doctors,
in order to switch?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Doesnt seem normal to me and im from
montreal. Are you from here? The wait
time is about right but how she handled
you is weird. Never heard of a Dr. Do
that......I can help you ...Where do you
live exactly? Do you have a car?

Hey emma...Well, i'm registered to deliver
at the royal vic, so I want my doctor to
be associated with them. But I really
have no idea how to find another doctor!
Do I look in the phone book, or is there a
list somewhere? I was referred to this
doctor by a walk-in clinic, and I have
never had a family doctor. (i'm not from
quebec) do you know where I can start
looking? Thank you so much for any
help!

call the hospital and ask for a list of
obgyn's for that hospital and explain your
situation. Or you can call the local clsc
, get the number from the hospital and
they will be able to give you a few more
drs. For that hospital. Good luck!!
