GI doctor in Toronto | The J-Pouch Group

Does anyone know of a good GI doctor/surgeon in the Toronto area? I have a friend's mother that is in the hospital there with UC like symptoms and they can't figure out what is wrong or how to control her pain. Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Hi Gayla

The best IBD hospital in Toronto is Mount Sinai Hospital, on University Avenue. If your friend is in a peripheral hospital have her physicians put in a referral for a second opinion.

The Colorectal surgeons are Zane Cohen, Robin McLeod (she has been my surgeon for 19 years and is excellent) and Helen MacRae.

There are a whackload of GI specialists there, mine is Steinhart.

Good luck and what a great friend you are to be looking out for your friend's mother!
