* Wait times in the public system depend on many factors that include, but are not limited to:

  • Which province you live in
  • Whether you are an urban or rural resident
  • The urgency of your condition
  • Your age. Many elderly patients are simply never going to get elective surgeries such as hip replacements

** Wait times for clients of Timely Medical Alternatives depend only on:

  • The urgency of your condition. As an example – we can arrange for cardiac consultations normally within one week. In emergencies, we can arrange for next-day consultations with the surgery/procedure to follow immediately.

About Us

Services

Timely Medical Alternatives Inc. is able to expedite virtually any surgery, diagnostic imaging, or biopsy. Many of our private medical services are available in Canada; some are available in the US, where we have a network of hospitals and private medical services clinics with which we work. There is no charge for our service.

Procedure

The role of our firm is to act as a facilitator, brining our clients together with private medical services and clinics which can provide the needed services and / or procedures in a timely manner. Once arrangements have been made to the mutual satisfaction of our client and their physician, we have no ongoing involvement in the doctor-patient relationship.

We are able to facilitate private medical services and diagnostics within 2 – 3 days and surgeries as quickly as 48 hours, in urgent cases. Many of our referrals are to facilities within Canada.
