Confirm your diagnosis. Most patients start with a family doctor or specialist who confirms that surgery is advisable. A private surgeon can also confirm the diagnosis if needed.
Research.
You can find surgeons in Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; Toronto, Ontario; and Montréal, Québec on our app, and review qualifications, as well as pricing.
Schedule an initial consultation. Most surgeons offer in-clinic and online consults.
Consultations are usually booked within days or a few weeks.
Note: expect a consultation fee between $150 - $350.
We recommend booking 2 - 4 consultations with different surgeons to better understand your options.
Consultation. The surgeon will review your condition, symptoms, and any previous treatments or diagnostics, such as x-rays or MRIs.
Post consultation. The surgeon will then review your case and provide surgical (and non-surgical) options based on your needs; review the risks and expected outcomes; and present pricing and scheduling options.
Schedule your surgery date. Once you confirm the procedure and payment, the clinic will schedule your surgery—generally within a few weeks.
