Everything has gone extremely well.
I had hip replacement surgery with Dr Benoit. I am writing this 10 weeks after the surgery so I could give it time to see how the healing went. Everything has gone extremely well. Dr Benoit was always available to answer any questions I had. His surgery skills (the most important thing) are excellent. My healing went well and I am able to move pain free and with much more mobility than I have been able to in many years. The staff at the clinic are also very good.
If you are looking at knee or hip surgery, I would highly recommend Dr Benoit.

First class care I received
I could not be more pleased of the first class care I received when I had my right hip surgery done by Dr. Benoit Benoit. The constant care I received after the surgery from the assisting nurses and staff was incredible. The follow ups were great. The physio department received Dr. Benoit’s clear instructions. It is now six weeks after surgery and I feel I have a new lease on life thanks to Dr. Benoit and his Team.
Dr. Benoit’s TEAM will quickly become your best friends. Berangere never ever drops the ball. From the first moment I spoke with her I quickly realised she was a real professional. I sent her so many emails asking tons of questions and she responded immediately all the time. I am truly grateful to everyone involved in my surgery.

I believe you get what you pay for!
“Doctor Morcos and his staff were excellent in every way ! I never used a walker or Cain from day three. I went to Rehab at the hospital here in Halifax just 4 times and they said I was Wasting my time because I had 95% full movement just a week after my surgery. There were others there who had knee replacements done through Nova Scotia government hospitals and were still using walkers three months later, and only 60% my movement after 5 months!! I believe you get what you pay for ! Excellent excellent five star experience through Dr. Morcos, and have almost zero scare which many of my friends can’t believe it is only 9 weeks since my replacement! And how can you not feel better with a doctor’s such big smile. Lol. Great !!”

3. CLLC Montreal, Dr. Marie Gdalevitch
Location: 1361 Beaumont Ave Bureau 304
Contact: +1 514-320-0126
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
We were so impressed with Dr. Marie Gdalevitch and her team at the Canadian Limb Lengthening Center (CLLC). From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed and cared for.
Our team had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Gdalevitch and several of her patients, and we were struck by her compassionate approach and dedication to her patient’s well-being.
We love that she takes the time to clearly explain diagnoses and treatment options in a way that’s easy to understand. It’s clear that she’s not only a skilled surgeon but also a wonderful communicator.
The CLLC is a state-of-the-art facility, and we were particularly interested in their use of the PRECICE nail system for limb lengthening. This technology, combined with their comprehensive pre- and post-operative care, truly sets them apart.
We did hear from a few patients that it could be challenging to get through on the phone to schedule an appointment. Perhaps they could consider adding additional staff or implementing an online booking system to improve patient accessibility.
Offers peace of mind with plenty of free parking
“The clinic is clean, the staff is courteous, polite, friendly but most of all, professional. It’s great to know that such an amazing doctor has that good a team. It’s reassuring and no matter what, it makes the experience excellent. Plenty of free parking, what a peace of mind. You’ll swear off hospitals.”

Location: 1 Carr Westmount Suite 801
Contact: +1 514-932-6455
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Ortho Westmount impressed us with its modern, patient-focused approach to orthopaedic care. Their surgeons are highly skilled and dedicated to providing personalised treatment.
We were particularly drawn to their expertise in minimally invasive hip and knee arthroplasty. This approach can significantly reduce pain and recovery time for patients, which is a major advantage.
Ortho Westmount is also recognised for its leadership in hip resurfacing arthroplasty. It’s a testament to their willingness to stay at the forefront of surgical advancements.
One thing we really appreciated was their easy-to-navigate website. Patients can initiate the treatment process by completing a simple online questionnaire, which is a convenient way to get started.
However, it’s worth noting that due to their excellent reputation and high demand, there may be a wait for appointments.
Listens attentively and ensures patients feel well cared for
“Throughout the entire process, from initial inquiry to completion of the surgery and release from the Convalescence Center, I felt not only heard but well taken care of. While not everyone can take advantage of the option to travel out of province and buy their surgery, if I had to do it again I would and Ortho Westmount would be my choice. Even the food was fantastic (catered by a local hotel).”

Ensures excellent pre, during, and post-operative care
“Ortho Westmount provides a team based, innovative and compassionate approach to health care. Dr. Hart is an excellent surgeon, highly qualified, who treats his patients as people, not a knee or a hip! Pre, during and post op processes are in place providing information, care, solutions to issues, follow up. The 2-night stay was extremely helpful and my recovery is going well, in large part because I was so well prepared by the team. As I was writing this review I received an unprompted follow up call and excellent advice.”

5. Dr Marc Beauchamp
Location: 1130 Av. Beaumont suite 100
Contact: +1 514-742-5022
Operating hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Friday – 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Dr Marc Beauchamp’s reputation precedes him. Our team was eager to meet the orthopaedic surgeon who pioneered shoulder arthroscopy in Quebec, and we weren’t disappointed.
His experience is truly impressive – over 9,000 procedures. It’s no wonder he’s considered a leader in the field.
We were actually interested in his approach to minimally invasive techniques. He prioritises his patients’ comfort and recovery, and his commitment to minimising postoperative discomfort is commendable.
We also like his use of ultrasound technology during consultations. This allows for accurate diagnoses and targeted treatments, like ultrasound-guided injections. It’s this kind of attention to detail that sets him apart.
Beyond his clinical skills, we were struck by Dr Beauchamp’s dedication to orthopaedic excellence. His work as a consultant for organisations like Cirque du Soleil speaks volumes about his versatility and expertise.
In addition, he offers online booking, which makes it convenient for patients to schedule appointments. However, we did hear from some patients that the secretary could be a bit more personable.
Provides seamless service with a supportive and skilled team
“Dr. Beauchamp is an exceptional person and surgeon , and had great service with his team! After a failed rotator cuff surgery done in SEA where I work, decided to take a trip back home to get a revision surgery with Dr. Beauchamp, best decision ever. Shoulder was completely jammed in scar tissue with barely no range of motion two years following first surgery, and now 3 months post surgery have already gained lot of range back and keep progressing with physio, it was a delicate revision surgery and very happy to have picked the right person to do it. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking help for shoulder issues. Merci Marc!”

Offers a valuable second opinion worth seeking out
“Where public health care failed me, M Beauchamp was able to carry out an excellent surgery and help me to recover nearly 100%. Wish I went to see him earlier. If in doubt of your family doctor’s opinion at least go see him for an evaluation, it’s worth the money. Thank you.”

6. Laboratoire orthopédique
Location: 7401 Rue Lajeunesse
Contact: +1 514-278-2799
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Our team had the chance to visit Laboratoire orthopédique. We were able to see firsthand how they’re making a difference in communities like Rivière-des-Prairies, Pointe-aux-Trembles, and beyond.
It’s not always easy to find quality orthopaedic care in these areas, so we were thrilled to discover this gem.
We love that they take the time to understand each patient’s unique needs and create custom solutions that fit their lifestyle. Whether it’s foot orthotics or compression garments, everything is made with precision and care.
We were also impressed by their dedication to quality. They hold memberships with professional organisations like the Association des Orthésistes-Prothésistes du Québec and adhere to the standards of the Ordre des technologues professionnels du Québec.
We also had the pleasure of meeting the founders, Mario and Caroline. Their passion for their work is contagious. They’ve created a warm and welcoming space where patients feel comfortable and valued.
But we did hear a few comments about occasional curt remarks from staff during consultations. While this wasn’t our experience, we hope they’ll take steps to ensure consistent professionalism in all interactions.
Simplifies the insurance reimbursement process
“Nora was referred to me by my former family doctor at the end of 2017. She is a very friendly and attentive person. Its custom orthotics are so comfortable that, after the adjustment period of a few days, you forget you are wearing them. In addition, they are of very high quality. I have just changed my first pair which lasted me… more than 6 years even wearing them almost daily! I needed a medical prescription to be reimbursed by my insurance. She wrote a letter with the results of the assessment appointment for the doctor I consulted via telemedicine. I was able to obtain a medical prescription for renewal without needing to do other exams or consult a podiatrist and thus get reimbursed. I recommend Nora without any problem for her professionalism and the quality of her orthotics.”

Delivers exceptional care in a clinic that treats patients as people
“I have been dealing with Nora for 20 years for my orthotics. Always a professional, smiling service, and Nora happily agrees to make adjustments to the orthotics, to maximize our comfort. Its prices are also very reasonable. In short, I highly recommend the service of this wonderful clinic, where you are not just a number!”
