Understanding Private Care & Wait Times
A better path to healing.
Living with pain is hard enough. Waiting for care shouldn't make it harder.
For many, the wait for specialized care can feel endless, leaving you feeling helpless as your condition worsens. We understand how debilitating hand and wrist issues can be, and we don't believe you should suffer while waiting for help. There is another way.
Your frustration is justified.
Living with persistent hand or wrist pain isn't just an inconvenience.
It can steal your ability to work, enjoy your passions, and even perform simple daily tasks, leaving you feeling frustrated and anxious about the future. Many people also face the added burden of long wait times, feeling stranded without clear answers or timely care. This systemic delay can lead to significant anxiety about the future, including the fear of your condition worsening or facing permanent disability.
"Access to a waitlist is not the same as access to care."
– Supreme Court of Canada
This statement from the Supreme Court of Canada is the foundation of our practice. It's a commitment to providing patients with timely, expert, and empathetic solutions for hand and wrist conditions. Our practice was founded on the principle that you shouldn't have to endure needless suffering due to lengthy wait times for care. We provide a clear path to recovery, not just a place in a queue.
