Second the recommendation for Dr Linden. I got his phone number at work, will post it tomorrow unless someone beats me to it. There are two diving docs working in the same office on Sheppard and Yonge

Another diving doc is Dr. Sosiak - he is staff at TGH hyperbaric unit

By the responses in this thread, I'm happy to see that Ron is still practicing dive medicine in the GTA. He is excellent!
