Why More Out-of-Province Patients Are Choosing Private Surgery in Kelowna
As surgical wait times across Canada continue to grow, many individuals are exploring faster, more efficient alternatives to public healthcare. For those living outside British Columbia, private surgery in Kelowna has become an increasingly compelling option—offering shorter wait times, specialized care, and access to some of the most advanced surgical facilities in the country.
Okanagan Health Surgical Centre stands at the forefront of this shift. Located in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, our fully accredited, physician-owned facility provides timely access to a wide range of procedures for non-BC residents, including orthopedic, general, urologic, and cosmetic surgeries. We also serve patients referred through third-party programs such as WorkSafeBC, RCMP, and other medical agencies—ensuring a direct, streamlined path to care for eligible cases.
Fast-Tracked Care for Out-of-Province Patients
For many patients outside BC, public waitlists at home can stretch from several months to over a year—particularly for orthopedic and mobility-related procedures. At Okanagan Health Surgical Centre, we’re able to offer rapid access to surgery, often within weeks of consultation. This can lead to faster recovery, improved quality of life, and reduced time away from work or family obligations.
Specialized Cosmetic Surgery Without the Wait
We also provide a full range of cosmetic surgical services that are not covered by provincial health plans. These include procedures such as facelift surgery, body contouring, and more. Our experienced team of surgeons and support staff deliver a personalized, discreet, and results-driven experience in a state-of-the-art setting.
