List of doctors and specialists in Canada
Doctors and specialists are listed here for one of three reasons: they were recommended by a coccyx pain patient; they are the authors of a relevant medical paper; or they suggested their own listing. The reason for listing each one is given. If you would like to recommend a doctor or specialist, please let me know.
Sabine Leppanen has created a website about coccygectomy (not other treatments). It includes information about surgeons and the success or failure of individual operations.
If there is no suitable specialist listed who is near to you, you could try to find one by writing to specialists near you.
