What recent reviews say

Strong results and team care draw patients, particularly for reconstructive work and cancer-related surgery. However, a vocal minority report poor results, lack of aesthetic consultation, and brusque communication-especially around breast procedures and complex cases outside the surgeon's stated focus.

Praised for
  • Dr. Lee's surgical skill and reconstruction work
  • attentive pre/post-care and informed guidance
  • exceptional team professionalism
  • minimal scarring when results meet expectations
Watch-outs
  • poor communication and dismissive bedside manner
  • asymmetrical or substandard surgical results
  • inconsistent receptionist helpfulness and knowledge
skilled-surgeongreat-aftercareexcellent-bedside-mannerminimal-scarringpoor-communicationbotched-resultsrushed-appointments
Best for: Cancer survivors seeking reconstruction and those needing complex hand or breast reconstruction.
Think twice if: Those seeking aesthetic refinement or detailed input over breast shape and size should confirm the surgeon's approach; past cases report asymmetry and closed communication.

Strengths

  • Reconstruction and cancer-related surgery expertise
  • available consultation appointments without long waits

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Haemi Lee is the lead surgeon
  • Jasmine provides pre-surgery guidance
  • receptionist Betty mentioned negatively for inconsistent information
  • surgeries performed at Arnprior Hospital and Queensway Carleton Hospital
  • DIEP reconstruction and silicone implant augmentation offered
  • Dupuytren's and traumatic nose injury cases mentioned in reviews

Patients consistently praise the surgical skill of doctors including Mogadam, Buckley, and Irvine, along with nursing care that eases anxiety. Most report minimal pain, quick healing, and feeling heard throughout treatment. However, a handful of reviews raise serious concerns: one patient suffered permanent nerve damage during wisdom tooth removal four years ago and felt dismissed when seeking help; another had a chaotic appointment experience with long waits and rude staff; a third described cultural questioning that felt inappropriate during recovery and concerning language from the surgeon about pain medication. The overwhelmingly high volume of five-star reviews (92% of 977) sits alongside these isolated but substantial complaints. Most reviewed services span wisdom tooth extraction, bone grafts, dental implants, and tooth removal, with families and anxious patients drawn by the calm environment. The clinic operates seven days a week across multiple Ottawa areas. Named surgeons appear across multiple positive reviews, suggesting consistency. One patient returned after 40 years specifically to see the same practice, indicating long-standing reputation.

Five-star reviews praise Dr. Brownrigg's rhinoplasties and non-surgical work (Botox noted as consistently excellent), plus scar-prevention expertise. One-star reviews center on rhinoplasties that looked unchanged from pre-surgery, despite 3D imaging promises and thousands spent. Patients reported steroid injections offered but ineffective, and say concerns were dismissed rather than addressed constructively. Evidence is thin overall: detail limited to recent rhinoplasty failures, Botox praise, facelift satisfaction, and reconstructive breathing improvements.
