5.0 from 250+ patient reviews

I recently had ACL reconstruction surgery performed by Dr. Thierry Pauyo. He brings a calm, friendly, and highly professional presence that immediately builds trust. His up-to-date medical knowledge gave me tremendous confidence in the care and surgical techniques applied. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

ACL reconstruction

In Ontario, I was told the wait would be 1 year for a surgeon within the public system. This simply was not an option for me after 2 years of debilitating hip pain. Dr. Pauyo is an incredible surgeon—caring, humble, and exceptional from start to finish. I would highly recommend him.

Hip arthroscopy

Fortunate to have found Dr. Pauyo for our son’s ACL & Meniscus surgery from a rugby injury. He is the best of the best when it comes to helping young athletes. Our 16-year-old son is thrilled with his recovery thus far. Thank you, Dr. Pauyo!
