Right answer, every time
Surgery only when truly indicated. Rehabilitation when it can help. A second opinion when needed.
ABOUT FRANCHIR
A spine surgery network at the service of patients
Franchir was created to answer a simple question: how can patients abroad benefit from the very best spine surgery without endless waiting? Today we connect Québec and Canadian patients with leading French surgeons in 4 to 6 weeks — fully coordinated, fully bilingual.
Our values
Four convictions guide every decision and every patient pathway.
Time matters
12 months of waiting is not acceptable for disabling spine pain. We compress timelines without compromise.
Bilingual by default
French and English at every touchpoint, from the first email in Montréal to the final follow-up.
Care without borders
We work hand in hand with your home physician. Your local records stay active from start to finish.
