“Shouldice Hospital runs like a very well-oiled machine. All of
your medical staff are so polite, knowledgeable and respectful towards the
patients and one another. My stay here was so very comfortable and I have every
confidence that I was given the best possible care. Thank you so very much for
taking such an interest in my recovery.”

Founded
in 1945, Shouldice Hospital is The global leader in hernia repair. Their 99.5%
lifetime success rate for primary inguinal hernias sets the gold standard for
medical professionals around the world. Shouldice specializes in external abdominal
wall hernias.
Over
65 years of clinical evidence clearly demonstrates that the Shouldice
surgical procedure is
exceptionally safe and the repair is secure and reliable. Our rate of
infection, complications and recurrence is less than 0.5% for primary inguinal.
This is the lowest recorded rate in the world. If you think you have a hernia,
they offer a walk-in clinic for your convenience. They always recommend that
you come to the clinic for an examination, if at all possible. Their surgeons
have years of specialized training and experience and are available during
clinic hours to provide an expert diagnosis. Their walk-in clinic is available
at no direct cost to our patients. If you live more than 1 hour (100 km/60
miles) away from Shouldice, you can submit a medical
questionnaire for our
