how long is the wait from referral to see someone in gynaecology in Ottawa?

Question

Dr has decided to reffer me to Riverside? to the gynae team. HOw long does a "referral" usually take before you hear, from them?

Answer 1

Based on what I've heard from friends that are in Canada it can often depend on the particular practice. My suggestion is that if you are having a lot of pain and/or bleeding please let your primary care physician know that you can't wait anymore because the symptoms are really bothering you.
