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.

Right answer, every time

Surgery only when truly indicated. Rehabilitation when it can help. A second opinion when needed.

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.

Our history

Born from a Franco-Canadian medical partnership, Franchir has grown into a structured network of centres of excellence.

  1. Foundation

    Franchir is founded around French spine surgeons committed to international patient care.

  2. Montréal hub

    Co-branded partnership with Neurothérapie Montréal — a Québec clinical hub for assessment and follow-up.

  3. Centres of excellence

    Expansion of the French network: tertiary university centres, robotics, navigation and dedicated international slots.

  4. Bilingual pathway

    Launch of the bilingual concierge service and digital file management — from Montréal to Paris in one workflow.
