Why Private Surgery Exists in Canada

Private healthcare services have always been a part of Canada's healthcare system. It's grown more popular in recent years because of lengthening wait times, especially for surgeries deemed 'non-urgent.'

Long wait times are real and frustrating. It’s normal to feel stressed, worried about work, or just want your life back sooner.

Surgency’s role: We’re not a clinic and we don’t do surgeries. But we help you understand you navigate your options in the private healthcare system. Our job is to make things clear, safe, and fair so you can choose what’s best for you—with facts, not guesswork.
