I came from Victoria BC to Gateway Surgery in Calgary to get a complete left hip replacement. Waiting until mid 2027 at home was an unthinkable option! My experience was first rate from start to finish. Dr. Emmanuel Illica has great bedside manner and I have found that to be unusual for a surgeon. I never felt like a number or merely a replacement part. I am now 2 weeks post surgery and in recovery. The entire team focuses on demonstrating a high quality of care from before the surgery to post op and thus far through the recovery process. The accessibility to 2 nurses 7 days weekly from 7 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. is incredible. Ones issues are addressed in a very timely manner. I am thoroughly satisfied thus far and I would highly recommend Gateway Surgery for joint replacement if you are anywhere in Western Canada. The only reason I don't include eastern Canada, is because a long flight mere days post major surgery is not much "fun". My 75 minute flight to Victoria was very doable. I wish the entire Gateway Team a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026. They deserve it!

Resting at home now with private total knee replacement surgery 2 weeks behind me. Many thanks to Gateway Surgery in Calgary for organizing the myriad details and delivering a world class service. Dr. Costa is brilliant. Offering modern robotics, spinal anesthetic and nerve block pump, my pain has not once risen above 2/10. Such a gift! After 2 weeks, I am walking pain free and looking forward to hiking the trails with my puppy in early spring. Life is good.

From the initial visit with the Calgary office my experience with gateway has been nothing but positive. Their staff has been very helpful. The service they provided from appointment at X-ray in Calgary to travel reservation from Edmonton to Montreal was flawless. I have informed many about Gateway and will continue to inform others. The follow up has been great. Several calls immediately following surgery and again from doctor directly at regular milestones since. Thanks to all who have been involved in this very positive journey.

First contact at Gateway was Michelle and then Taylor who was instrumental in handling the process of facilitating the tests required, the consultation and arranging for out of province surgery. All details were handled professionally. Taylor was a pleasure to deal with. The consultation with Dr, Spiess was clear, friendly, respectful and put me at ease. On the day of surgery, Dr. Spiess and the staff were outstanding and supportive. The surgery for L4-S1 laminectomy and L4-S1 discectomies went well. After having spent the last two years in pain, can now report pain free. The post operative care from the nurses, Barb and Twyla has been exceptional and they have gone above and beyond. Thank you. When contemplating out of province surgery, I highly recommend contacting Gateway Surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Private Hip Resurfacing

Who is a good candidate for hip resurfacing?
Hip resurfacing is often recommended for younger, active patients with strong bone quality who have hip damage from arthritis or injury but don’t need a full hip replacement. You may be a good candidate if you experience significant hip pain that limits daily activities, stiffness that affects movement, or ongoing discomfort even at rest. Your orthopaedic surgeon will review your imaging and medical history to determine if hip resurfacing is the best option for you.

Hip resurfacing preserves more of your natural bone by reshaping and covering the joint surface instead of replacing it entirely, as in a total hip replacement. This approach can make future surgery easier if it’s ever needed later.

Most patients begin walking with assistance within a few days and transition to independent movement over several weeks. Recovery time depends on your overall health and activity level, but many people return to low-impact activities within 6–12 weeks.

All surgical procedures carry some risk, though complications are not common. If concerns arise after your procedure, Gateway will help you navigate them. Your surgeon will provide follow-up care as needed, and our team remains available to answer questions and support your recovery.
