I posted my question on another thread but I will also ask here.

I was wondering if someone could recommend a neurologist in Toronto who is good and also polite when it comes to CCSVI (I will be moving to Toronto in August)

I would need an answer before Thursday at noon because I have an appointment with the doctor who will give me a referral.

Comments which Mavis made in another thread about Dr. Daniel Selchen were relatively positive, so, he might be worth checking out. Here's the thread:

I am not sure if he is accepting new patients. That's a common problem here when it comes to specialists.
Try St. Michael's Hospital MS Clinic, they would know.
One more thing, if you ever get a chance to see him, be prepared to wait a LONG time in the waiting room as he is notoriously behind his schedule every time, or take the first appointment of the day.

Great...thanks for the replies!

If I decide to go with Dr Selchen, I don’t really mind waiting.

I saw Dr Gray at St Mikes, now this was last year, but he wasn't very sympathetic to the CCSVI idea. Loved to talk about CRABs though.

Dr Warren Goldstein, Richmond Hill...he has heard Zamboni speak, thinks he has some good ideas, and was supportive when I went for my CCSVI last month. He doesn't think its a cause/cure but a piece of the puzzle...
