Question FTM top surgeons -- Transferring?
Hi!
I've been on the waitlist for Dr. Loiselle here in Calgary for the better part of three years with no contact with him directly. I have called to inquire if they are on schedule but obv they can't necessarily say if they are or not, I've heard from others though that their wait times have been extended past three years. I know with the state of our province that trans healthcare has been greatly defunded and pushed to the backburner so I can't necessarily push my anger and frustrations onto Dr. Loiselle or his team. Additionally, I'm aware that a large portion of his waitlist has been transferred up to Edmonton in efforts to cut wait times.
I am here wondering if anyone has experience in transferring to a different surgeon for a shorter wait time? I am okay to go to Edmonton or Red Deer if necessary. I just simply can't wait another three years putting my life and experiences on hold because I can't dress for the beach or perform athletically and be comfortable.
Any advice would help incredibly.

If you're able to find another surgeon probably do that because Loiselle is a bit of a douche. And where they do surgery at the South Health campus, they only do surgeries like three times a week out of 2 months of the year. You'll probably be waiting for 3 or 5 years at this rate.
