Discover the Private Orthopaedic Care Difference in Canada

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Anthony J. Costa founded Ortho South, a private orthopaedic practice, after 12 years of practice in the public healthcare system.  At Ortho South, our mission is simple: We aim to provide high-quality, comprehensive, orthopaedic care by eliminating complicated referral processes, reducing consultation and surgical wait times, and emphasizing a personalized care approach.

Experience High-Quality Comprehensive Orthopaedic Care

At Ortho South, we believe that high-quality orthopaedic care isn’t just about having a technically successful surgical intervention. High-quality orthopaedic care should, of course, be safe and effective, but should also be patient-centered, timely, efficient, and accessible. Further, comprehensive orthopaedic care should also encompass exploring both non-operative and surgical treatment options, as well as supporting patients with appropriate follow-up care, and monitoring their post-surgical recovery.

Non-Surgical Orthopaedic Care

At Ortho South, we take the time to understand your orthopaedic problem, your functional abilities, as well as your treatment goals, to come up with an appropriate treatment plan for your condition. In many cases, surgery may not be the best treatment option for your orthopaedic problem. Effective non-operative solutions may be available to help you manage your symptoms. Non-surgical orthopaedic treatments often include:

  • Activity/lifestyle modifications

  • Weight management

  • Physiotherapy

  • Anti-inflammatory medications (over-the-counter and prescription options)

  • Braces/splints

  • Corticosteroid injections

  • Visco-supplementation/Hyaluronic Acid injections

  • Biologic injections
