Why consider private orthopedic options?

Orthopedic wait times in Canada can stretch 12–24+ months—time that can potentially result in more pain, muscle loss, worsening deformity, and harder recovery. Private surgery offers a safe, legal path to faster care for non-emergency procedures, helping reduce delays, protect joint function, and prevent long-term damage.

Surgency is your guide—not a clinic—connecting you with out-of-province options through accredited, licensed clinics and surgeons. We help you compare options, costs, qualifications and provide you with the resources you need to make a confident, informed decisions.
