Glad you found this great site, there are amazing people on. You will have trouble finding ADR is our great land. You will actually be hard pressed to get help from our system with spine related issues. I love following blogs from from our American friends and neighbours how they get 3,4 and 5 second opinions. I saw one neurosurgeon in my 2 1/2 year journey and he said not to worry about my symptoms and no surgery was required, told him I'm thinking about going overseas for an ADR, he looked at me and said "carefull", there will be no help in Canada upon your return. This is very scary.

Our system is great a times but please note our neurosurgeons unlike the ones in the USA get paid the same wether they do surgery or not. They get paid by patient visit. This is good and will avoid any unneccesary surgeries but they can also easily not help someone they can help if the surgery " is not exciting enough" it is a double edge sword.

Good luck in your journey.
