Recommend a dive physician

[Avic7]

HI guys,

Do any of you know a good physician (Doctor) in the Vancouver area or in Nanaimo that has a background in diving?
Let me reword it so that there isn't any misunderstanding, my buddy has a phyisical condition and he wants a second opinion other than his family doctor because his family doctor knows nothing about diving. I can't describe his condition cuz I don't know the whole story. So anyways, since we just started diving we don't know who to talk to. Could someone please give me a name, address, and phone number of a doctor who understand how diving affects the body?

Thank you very much

Dr. Greg Grant or Dr. Greg Bundy. One of them is also the chamber doctor at VGH, I can't remember which one.

For contact information, ask Ken Bayntun at Great Pacific Diving in North Vancouver.
