About our care
Private surgery – shorter waiting times and the same surgeon throughout
Many people live with problems for a long time that could be treated. Private specialist surgery can shorten the path from the first visit to completed treatment.
Short answer
At a private surgical clinic you book an appointment yourself without a referral, are assessed by a specialist surgeon and can often have surgery without a long wait. You pay yourself or through insurance. The advantages are short lead times and the same surgeon from assessment to follow-up.
No referral and no detours
In the Swedish public healthcare system, the path to a surgeon often goes through a health centre and a referral. At A-Surgery you book an appointment directly with a specialist surgeon, online around the clock.
Short lead times from assessment to treatment
At the visit you receive a clear answer. If you need surgery, we plan the date together without putting you in a long queue. Minor procedures under local anaesthesia can sometimes be planned close to the assessment.
The same surgeon throughout
You see the same specialist surgeon at assessment, operation and follow-up. This gives continuity and makes it easy to ask questions.
- Experienced specialist surgeon at senior consultant level
- Clear plan and cost estimate before surgery
- Follow-up included for most procedures
Cost and payment
You pay according to the price list, by card, Swish or instalments through Medical Finance. If you have private health insurance, it may cover the cost. Check with your insurer before the visit.

Frequently asked questions
Is private surgery safer or less safe than public?
Surgery follows the same medical principles. The difference is mainly accessibility, waiting time and continuity.
Is the high-cost protection (högkostnadsskydd) included?
Visits to a private clinic without a regional agreement are generally not covered by the Swedish high-cost protection. Ask us if you are unsure.
