The Ontario government says its online wait time tool will provide users with both the length of time between a referral and the first appointment with a specialist or surgeon and the time between the decision on a procedure and the date it's performed. Specifically, wait times are listed for:
- Pediatric wait times for surgeries;
- Wait times for cancer surgeries;
- Wait times for cardiac surgeries and procedures;
- Wait times for eye surgeries including cataract;
- Wait times for orthopedic surgeries including hip and knee replacement; and
- Wait times for other surgeries and procedures.
