Important information for Ottawa area trans women, trans men, non-binary trans people and other non-cis people undergoing HRT from Drs. Barwin and Douek:

Dr. Barwin will be retiring at the end of August, and his office will be closing. Unclear what will happen to patients, or to those seeing Dr. Douek. Dr. Myrth is not currently accepting new patients. Recommend you get updated bloodwork and get your own copies that you can give to your next doc.

I have no further details to offer; it's on the office voicemail that Dr. Barwin is retiring and closing the office.
