Clinic & Physician Directory

Welcome to the COIS Physician and Clinic Directory! The COIS recognizes that one of the difficulties that many OI community members face is finding a team of medical professionals who are familiar with working with OI. The purpose of this directory is to provide you and your family with information to assist you in locating dependable multidisciplinary medical care.

Please note that this list is offered as a service to the Canadian OI community. Being listed does not indicate that the COIS endorses services and quality of care provided by these institutions. It is the responsibility of parents and adults with OI to verify whether a particular medical team meets their needs
