Why Canadians Are Turning to Private Knee Replacements And Finding Relief

Lengthy public wait times and worsening pain, many Canadians are choosing private surgery to reclaim their mobility and quality of life.

Faced with years-long wait times and increasing pain, many Canadians like Melanie Schmidt are choosing to access knee replacement surgery privately. After enduring delays and miscommunications in Alberta’s public system, Schmidt ultimately travelled to Montreal, where Dr. John Antoniou performed her bilateral knee replacement at a private surgical centre located in Westmount. For her, the experience was life-changing—swift, professional, and empowering.

As more Canadians seek timely solutions to restore mobility and quality of life, Dr. Antoniou’s expertise and commitment to surgical excellence are helping bridge a growing gap in public healthcare access. With private care options like those offered at his clinic, patients are finding hope, recovery, and the ability to reclaim their lives.
