What recent reviews say

Dr. Shortt earns strong praise for breast and facial procedures that look natural and match patient expectations. Reviewers consistently note his willingness to listen during consultations, his precision with scarring, and his team's responsiveness before surgery. Two reviews detail serious concerns: a patient reporting undisclosed liposuction and dismissive responses to complaints, and another citing judgment and condescension during the consultation. The overwhelming majority describe respectful partnerships and careful attention to detail; the rare negative reviews suggest communication breakdowns under specific circumstances.

Breast augmentation, reduction, and lift appear to be his core strength, with fat transfer and eyelid work also yielding praised results. Staff members Joanne and Cari are named as consistently responsive. His website states FRCSC certification and lists service areas across the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions.

  • skilled surgical execution

What reviews say by service

Natural results, careful sizing for body frame, aligned with patient vision; one patient reported undisclosed liposuction during augmentation procedure.
Facial Plastic Surgery
Upper and lower eyelid procedures yield natural, minimal-scarring results with easier-than-expected recovery.
Breast Augmentation & Breast Surgery
Combination breast lift and fat transfer praised for symmetry, minimal scarring, and attention to overall feminine form; however, one patient reported unwanted liposuction in areas marked off-limits.
Reconstructive & Hand Surgery
Post-cancer breast reconstruction approached with compassion, clear explanation of options, and artistic attention to natural appearance.
Breast Augmentation & Breast Surgery
Breast reduction and lift combined with strategic fat transfer; minimal scarring, balanced shape, and strong recovery support.

Patients consistently report excellent surgical outcomes, particularly with Dr. Hong for breast procedures and Dr. Waltho for ear surgery, citing natural-looking results and smooth recovery. Post-op support stands out, with coordinator Janet and staff like Mahwish and Monique frequently praised for attentiveness and follow-up. Two older complaints mention wait delays and staff rudeness, but recent reviews (weeks to months old) focus entirely on quality care and results. The clinic handles both major surgery and skin treatments. Non-surgical services like HydraFacials and microneedling draw separate praise for results and a calm environment. Surgeons earn trust through thorough consultations where patients feel unhurried.

Strong surgical outcomes earn praise from most reviewers, especially for specialized cases like keloid removal and liposuction. Dr. Sapra and Dr. Khanna receive consistent mention for knowledge, skill, and minimal scarring. However, a subset of patients report billing errors (double-charged for treatments around $2,500), disorganized scheduling, rushed appointments under five minutes, and unresponsive management. Front desk professionalism varies, and aftercare guidance is inconsistent despite high treatment costs.
