Dr. Shortt, Plastic Surgeon
Verification pending: less of the axis weight is sourced than the threshold requires, so no score is published yet.
Status: verification pending · last checked 29 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary

No matching record was found for this practice in Ontario's Out-of-Hospital Premises inspection listing; a differently-named practice is listed at the same building.
