How can I find a plastic surgeon in Canada that has experience working with people with spinal cord injuries?

Question

I want to find a plastic surgeon in Canada that has experience working on people with spinal cord injuries. Besides contacting every surgeons office in a 1000km radius is there an easier way to find a plastic surgeon with this kind of experience? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Dear jencoco,
finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Make sure he/she is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. There is a number of different sites where you can check for reviews (Realself, yelp, google, etc.).You can always pick up the phone and call around also, find an office you feel comfortable with and set up a few consultations.

Almost all plastic surgeons will have had done experience working with spinal cord injured patients doing pressure sores during their training, 
It would be helpful to understand what you are trying to achieve. 
Talk to providers who work with spinal cord injured patients and ask what plastic surgeon does flaps for pressure sores. 
Best,
