The surgeon in the BC lower mainland is Dr. Mark Matishak, from the Royal Columbian I believe. He only takes patients from his home province however, and I lost out on a booked appointment with him when he decided to enforce that policy.

I was disappointed at the time, but everything has worked out for the best, so no problems. His office staff is wonderful and he comes highly recommended. I believe he has trained in Germany also.

Good luck with everything!
