he majority of our patients continue to wait for a consultation or surgery with a specialized physician in the public system. We know that your health deserves a personalised approach and namely a quick intervention. For this reason, we have reduced the delay for consultation and surgery to two weeks.

At our clinic, it is not necessary to bring a physician’s referral to obtain an appointment. Our patients directly have access to our specialists without having to wait. In certain cases, we also offer you a consultation with our specialist in musculoskeletal disorders to obtain a treatment or an examination in radiology.

To better help us to direct you towards a better service, you can, if possible, send us the results of your radiologic exams prior to your appointment.

Please note that our physicians are disaffiliated from the public health system. The consultation and or surgery fees are not reimbursed by the health insurance of Quebec.

The private health insurances are able, in certain cases, to reimburse your consultation and surgical fees.
