Start with a virtual consult
01

For patients coming from outside Québec, your journey generally begins with a virtual consultation with your surgeon. 

If surgery may be the right option, your surgeon will guide you through the next steps. Depending on the procedure, that may include an in-person assessment in Montréal, further planning and scheduling. 

Once surgery is confirmed, a nurse from your coordinating care team will complete a thorough preoperative assessment, explain how to prepare and answer your questions so you know what to expect.

Imaging review/ coordination
02

Before your virtual consultation appointment, CREOQ helps make sure the imaging, reports and other relevant medical documents your surgeon needs are available for review. This allows you to spend your time together discussing your concerns, possible treatments and the questions that matter to you.

Your care team will help coordinate the process and keep you informed at each stage, whether you live in Montréal or are travelling from another province.

03
Travel

Coming to Montréal for care

Considering surgery away from home can raise a lot of questions. We want you to feel informed, supported and comfortable from your very first conversation—with much of the initial process taking place from home.

The CREOQ team coordinates your consultations, preoperative preparation, surgery and postoperative follow-up.
Recovery post operation
04

Your care continues after surgery, even if you return home to recover. Your surgeon will recommend a follow-up plan suited to your procedure and your progress. Your first postoperative visit may be in person or virtual, depending on what is most appropriate. Additional visits can also take place virtually when a physical examination is not needed.

Remote aftercare
05

When suitable, you can work with a physiotherapist closer to home, who can provide progress reports to your surgical team. If further imaging or an in-person examination is needed, your care team will help you understand the next steps. Our goal is to provide attentive, personalized follow-up while limiting unnecessary travel whenever it is medically appropriate.
