The Plastic Surgery Clinic
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 60.6/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #10 of 10 ranked clinics · last checked 29 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Plastic-surgery clinic with locations in Mississauga and Toronto. Two named plastic surgeons are identified with role on the clinic's own site. The Mississauga premises is found in Ontario's Out-of-Hospital Premises inspection listing with a current pass outcome. One of the named surgeons is separately listed in the University of Toronto's plastic-surgery faculty directory as an RCPSC specialist. The clinic names its own operating legal entity; no match was found for that entity in the federal corporate register.

Several unattributed superlatives found across the clinic's own pages describing the practice and surgical team (e.g. 'World Renowned Experts in Plastic Surgery', 'Canada's leading plastic surgery practice'); no outcome guarantee found.
