Hear from patients who chose not to wait.
“I was told to expect a 2-year wait for my hip. I couldn’t walk to the mailbox without pain. GESTUR PrimeCare handled every detail — I had surgery in 6 weeks and was hiking again by month four. My Canadian doctor was impressed with the surgical report.”
“My coordinator spoke French the entire time. The hospital had bilingual staff at every stage. I never felt lost or alone — not for a single moment. The care was exceptional.”
“As an American, I was quoted $92,000 for spine surgery. GESTUR PrimeCare arranged everything in Mexico for a fraction of that. Same quality, same outcome. A real person answered my calls at every single step.”

We can connect you with options during your care preparation phase.
Yes — when done through a service that works exclusively with internationally accredited facilities and board-certified surgeons. The key is vetting. Every hospital and physician in our network meets international accreditation standards equivalent to top Canadian hospitals. Medical tourism is well-established globally — millions of Canadians, Americans, and Europeans travel for surgical care every year. We work only with providers we would recommend to our own family.
Your physician speaks English at every appointment. A bilingual coordinator is present at every key consultation and procedure — so there is always someone in the room who can communicate clearly with you. While not every support staff member may speak English, you will never be left without an English speaker when it matters. All key documents are in English.
It depends on the procedure. We provide a comprehensive quote covering all planned and foreseeable costs before you commit to anything — procedure, facility, coordination, accommodation, and logistics. We aim for full transparency on every expected expense. In general, procedures through GESTUR PrimeCare cost 40–70% less than equivalent private surgery in the United States. The Step 2 Specialist Assessment is $250 CAD ($180 USD) and is applied in full toward your care if you proceed.
Provincial health insurance generally does not cover elective surgery outside Canada. Some provinces offer partial reimbursement in specific circumstances — check directly with your provincial authority. We recommend travel health insurance for all patients and provide guidance on coverage options during your care preparation phase.
We are a coordination and information service, not a medical provider. We provide information, coordinate your specialist assessment, connect you with accredited facilities and physicians, manage logistics, and support you throughout. All medical procedures are performed by independent, licensed physicians. All medical decisions are yours, made with your doctors’ advice. We always encourage consulting your Canadian physician before proceeding.
We work with medical travel insurance providers and can recommend coverage options during your care preparation phase. We strongly recommend travel health insurance for all patients, covering unforeseen medical needs during travel. Ask us for guidance during your free guidance session.
