Surgery in Canada if not a Canadian?

[oyelad]

I was ecstatic to read all of these $1200-$1800 surgery experiences from doctor Fielding figuring i'd finally be able to rid myself of this curse, but I noticed the pricing to be ridiculously low with most of the Canadian surgeons and now I'm thinking the deal is for Canadians only.

Please tell me this isn't true

sorry to disapoint you, but it is true... when you get a rate like this, its because canadian health care insurances will pay for excision + hospital fees.

also, a few doctors here dont have proper insurance to treat american patients. its the case for Fielding unfortunately.

sorry buddy

JCF must have malpractice insurance I'm sure. I guess he just doesn't want the headache of malpractice claims. Americans in general, are 'Sue-Happy' people.

What about if you live in Canada as a foreign worker (hence not eligible for provincial health care)? What would be the cost in that case?

Best thing to do is to give JCF's office a call: 416.766.8890
