Biography: 

A Highly Accomplished Academic Surgeon. I have been actively running an academic practice in Post-oncological Reconstruction with a focus on Breast Cancer Reconstruction at McGill University since July 2013

My practice as a Board-Certified Surgeon is equally divided between Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery and focuses on building relationships with patients through listening and open communication.

Expertise gained after years of practice since 2013 span all aspects of Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery including Breast, Facial Surgical and Non-Surgical Rejuvenation.

Over the course of my career, I have been actively engaged in both academic and Hospital administration duties overseeing strategic Hospital planning initiatives, curriculum design, assessment, and academic program development - always with an eye to enhance students and Residents learning experience and professional achievements.

Naturally interested in management and efficiency. I have been involved as an administrative and training site director in multiple committees and initiatives to improve processes and pathways at our University medical centre and In the Operating Rooms to better serve patients, improve accessibility, quality of care and manage overhead.
