Anyone from Toronto, Ontario? GYN recommendations (2019)

I am looking for a GYN to do my hysterectomy here in Toronto.

I am St Mike's GYN patient, and my GYN there said he would do my Hysterectomy, but he has left the country. My current GYN there seems to think that Mirena IUD will fix everything, but it doesn't. My enlarged uterus (Adenomyosis) is pulling down my bladder. I have had to get catheters at times to manage the urinary retention. As well as self-catheterization.

I had Prolapse surgery in 2015 for this, but the pain and dropping uterus (retroverted) issue keeps returning. In short, the uterus is too big, and needs to come out. Last I saw, an ultrasound said it is 11 cm.

My UroGyn (Mount Sinai) says she will only do a Hysterectomy if I take Lupron, but I am concerned about the serious side effects, namely degenerative spine and arthritis/joint issues. My mother and Aunts are crippled with Arthritis. I don't want Lupron to do this to me, esp in my late 40s.

I am wondering about women who have had successful Lap Hysterectomies in Toronto, and the surgeons who did them.

Thank you for any assistance or recommendations,

Emma
