Consult a Private Physiatrist in Quebec City
When waiting is no longer an option for you, private physiatry gives you access to the expertise of a medical specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation, within a short timeframe and at a price known in advance. The physiatrist evaluates your condition, provides an accurate diagnosis, and proposes a treatment plan adapted to your needs.
A private physiatrist treats conditions such as back and neck pain, osteoarthritis, tendinitis, epicondylitis and plantar fasciitis. When needed, he works as a team with our physiotherapy and chiropractic professionals to ensure complete follow-up care.
Our physiatrists offering private services are non-participating in the RAMQ plan: consultation fees are therefore paid directly to the clinic. Booking is simple, and no medical referral is required to see a private physiatrist at our clinic. Our other physiatrists continue to offer consultations covered by the RAMQ, upon medical referral.
