For cancer specifically (not dentistry 🙂) it seems to make a huge difference where you go in Canada. Big, multidisciplinary cancer centres associated with universities seem to be up on the latest treatments and best practices (that's been my experience); an individual urologist or radiation oncologist in a local hospital *might* be keeping up with the research, but from people's stories, it seems to be hit or miss.
We're hearing the same thing from our American neighbours here in the forum: they sometimes get a very different standard of care from a "Center of Excellence" than they do at their local hospitals.
