The best doctor in Ontario and possibly all of Canada!

Right now I'm totally impressed and have an even deeper level of appreciation for my kidney doctor (well, old one now I guess *sniff sniff). He just called me. Himself. Not a receptionist, not an assistant, HIM!

He told me that he's got a great friend/associate in Calgary and he would be emailing him and faxing my medical records over to the associate. He then asked if I had a family doctor yet. Which I don't. I don't even have Alberta Health Coverage (you have to reside here for 3 months before your eligible). Anyway, bottom line is he is finding me a kidney doctor, who will find me a family doctor. How great is that?

I'm blown away by this guy! I really am! Throughout this whole Lupus thing and well... really any doctor I've seen at anytime he by far has the best bed side manner. It just seems like he cares. Which aside from my ex-family doctor I've never felt *cared* about by a medical professional in Canada. Simply put: he's wonderful. He most definatly gets the most heartfelt thank you letter I have ever written.

Is there such a thing as doctor awards? If so, I must find them and nominate him. If he cared so much about me... he must care about ALL his patients the same. If my opinion of him is so high, most his patients must be too!

So anyway, if your in Toronto and have kidney issues. If you get to see a Dr. Pieartos thank your lucky stars. You're in the best hands you could be.
