Three Generations

Dr. Zhao is a leading Canadian surgeon who specializes in Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery, also known as Urogynecology. He is one of a few surgeons in Canada who has additional training in the medical and surgical management of pelvic floor disorders.

The initial appointment is usually a phone appointment for information gathering and to order appropriate investigations. The follow-up appointment usually requires a focused pelvic exam. After both appointments, Dr. Zhao will determine the most appropriate treatment options for you.
