Accreditation, named in writing.

Accreditation belongs to a specific hospital building, not a brand or a group. Before you commit, we tell you in writing which hospital you are going to and what it holds, and you can check it yourself on the public directory. Meridian coordinates your care. The hospital delivers it.

Spine and back surgery

Canadians wait a median of 49.9 weeks for neurosurgery.

That is the national figure from GP referral to treatment, published by the Fraser Institute in 2025. Almost a year with a disc pressing on a nerve. Spine is the work we are asked about most, and the area where waiting costs people the most.

Send us your MRI and an experienced spine surgeon abroad will review the actual images and come back in writing, usually inside one to two weeks. Herniated disc, spinal stenosis, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, fusion, artificial disc replacement and endoscopic spine surgery.

  • A surgeon reads your films, not a form

  • Awake endoscopic spine surgery available at a partner hospital, confirmed to us in writing
  • Accreditation named per hospital, in writing, before you pay anything

We don’t send you anywhere we haven’t stood ourselves.

Before a hospital joins our network, our founder travels there, meets the surgeons, and inspects the facility firsthand. On recent visits across India and Vietnam that meant scrubbing in and standing inside the operating rooms.

Our Partner Destinations

We partner with leading hospitals across:

United States

For patients who would rather be treated in America, we arrange access to leading US centres. American hospitals do not pay facilitators, so we work there on a flat fee and the hospital's own international team handles the booking. You should always know how the person advising you is paid.
