Ethan Patel, commercial landscaping client, praising Falcons Landscaping’s year-round property maintenance and snow removal services.

Was recommended Pathway Surgery from a friend and couldn't be happier with my decision. From beginning to end Joseph, Dr Rodriguez, and the nursing team took the time and care to ensure that all my needs were met. I am pain free after my hip replacement! It was worth every penny.

Complete ACL tear

Complete ACL tear

My Grandson (15 year old) who is an elite QB suffered a complete ACL tear at the end of the 2024 season. He has professional ambitions and the wait time for a surgery in the public system would have implied a 5 to 6 month wait and the inhability to play the 2025 season when including recovery. Since he is also in his growth phase, we needed a surgeon that was familar with the specific pediatric approach required. So we turned to the private sector and found Pathway Surgery right here in Montreal. We first spoke to Joseph who was quick to respond and clear about the process. Then we met Dr. Pauyo who was empathetic and clear about the options and how the type of procedure (where to pull the replacement tendon from) could potentially affect his draft scoring card for for American colleges. The surgery was performed within 5 weeks of the injury and now he is on the path to recovery and will be able to play his 2025 season. Not cheap, but very professional and efficient. One small thing I found could be improved is that the paiment had to be done by wire transfer as they don't accept credit cards... Still, good job Patway Surgery!

My boy 16yrs old blew his ACL at the end of October playing football and we were in a tuff place to either wait for public health sector or find a private clinic as quickly as possible so that he can rehab hard and possibly make his grade 12 season. Pathway surgery stepped up big time and got us in within a month. We flew from Alberta to Montreal and underwent surgery by Dr. Abouali to give our kid the best opportunity to play his grade 12 season and chase his dreams of playing at the next level. The team was upfront with everything, fantastic patient support and clear precise communication on everything that we needed to make us feel good about our decision. The staff as a whole did fantastic and the surgery was a success. We are on our road to recovery and excited about the future -2x TEAM MVP Bert Church Highschool (grade 10 and 11) -grade 10 ROOKIE OF THE YEAR Rocky View School District -grade 11 TOP RECEIVER OF THE YEAR Rocky View School District

Review of Dr. Michael Zywiel – Total Hip Replacement After years of chronic pain and delays in the public system, I turned to a private clinic in Montreal and was fortunate to be referred to Dr. Michael Zywiel. He performs over 400 anterior hip replacements a year and brings a level of expertise and confidence that immediately put me at ease. Honestly, while it would never happen, I got the feeling he could do this surgery in his sleep. He provided a clear, thorough assessment and realistic expectations and recovery timelines. Notably, he outlined his accessibility under the public system for any postoperative requirements I may have. The process was efficient, professional, and individualized. I never felt like just a number, and the quality of care was outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Zywiel to anyone considering hip replacement.

I had surgery with Dr. Rodriguez in Montreal through Pathway Surgeries and my experience has been very good overall. He is a world-class surgeon who meets with his patients and explains clearly what he plans to do. I recommend coming prepared with questions, as he answers them directly and efficiently. His confidence in his work is very reassuring, and his communication is always clear and to the point. Before surgery, he was also incredibly responsive over email — I was impressed that he answered my questions sp quickly.

His professionalism showed at every step. He met with me before surgery, came to see me the day after, and even called to follow up within the first few days — something I’ve rarely seen a surgeon do. Those conversations were brief, but very reassuring. His style is direct rather than indulgent, but that comes from his confidence and focus. The nursing team and Pathway staff more than balanced this by being exceptionally kind, attentive, and responsive to every concern.

The support staff at Pathway Surgeries were outstanding. They were easy to reach, quick to answer questions, especially Joseph, our liaison, he was wonderfully helpful. Joseph was so easy to communicate with via text and calls, and even showed up to the hotel directly to help when issues came up with our accommodations. Communication was excellent with all the nursing staff as well, my family was kept informed every step of the way, and I felt incredibly well cared for during recovery. They even took time to explain how best to travel, how often to walk and move, and how to handle day-to-day things like getting in and out of bed comfortably. The physiotherapist carefully demonstrated exercises to support my healing, and the nursing team made sure I was safe and comfortable.

Now, just a few days post-op, I’m already walking and moving quite well, I feel good, and I’m in good spirits. Recovery has been smooth so far, and I know I’m in excellent hands.

I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez and the Pathway Surgeries team. Their expertise, confidence, and support made what could have been a stressful experience feel safe, smooth, and reassuring.

YES,THEY ARE LEGIT!!!! To start I talked to Joseph from Pathway and he got the ball rolling by arranging a consultation with DR Massicotte (spine surgeon). Dr Massicotte ( in less then a week)phoned me and discussed the procedure.Joseph then started making all the arrangements from the beginning to end. DR Massicotte did a minimally invasive lumber laminectomy on L4-5 (cyst removal) causing severe pain in my leg. The surgery went well and I could walk with no pain. From my very first call to Pathway and my surgery it was less than one month! I highly recommend Pathway if you’re in pain and don’t want to keep popping pain killers!! I thank DR Massicotte and Joseph and the team at Pathway for giving me back my freedom to walk again. PS, I live near Lethbridge Alberta

Consulting with pathway was an amazing experience. While seeking information about an injury requiring orthopaedic care, the team exhibited genuine care, walking me through the next steps and setting clear expectations. Their knowledge is impressive, and I highly recommend reaching out, even for a consultation on potential care.
