ALBERTA PATIENTS

Alberta patients looking to access private orthopaedic care in Canada now have the option to be assessed in-person at our Ortho South location in Calgary! Virtual appointments are also available. 

If surgery is indicated, travel outside of Alberta is currently required, however,
as of December 1st, 2024, Dr. Costa will be "opted-out" of the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan, and able to perform your private surgery in Calgary!

​

If non-surgical care is indicated, this can be provided locally at the Ortho South clinic in Calgary.

​

Contact Ortho South today for more information, or complete our online booking form to schedule a consultation today!
