Reconstructive & Hand Surgery in Mississauga

Reconstructive & Hand Surgery in Ontario

Reconstructive and hand surgery covers a different territory than cosmetic work, even though many practices offer both. This category includes repair after trauma or cancer removal (breast reconstruction, skin flaps and grafts), correction of congenital conditions (cleft lip and palate, syndactyly, other hand and limb differences present at birth), and hand-specific procedures like carpal tunnel release, trigger finger surgery, Dupuytren's contracture treatment, tendon repair, and nerve decompression. Some surgeons in this list are general plastic surgeons who handle a broad range of reconstructive cases, while others specialize specifically in hand and upper extremity surgery, often with additional fellowship training. We track 14 providers offering some form of this work across Mississauga.

What to check before you book

Confirm the surgeon's specific training for your case: a hand fellowship matters if you need nerve or tendon repair, while a background in oncoplastic or microsurgical reconstruction matters for cancer-related work. Ask which hospital they're affiliated with for surgical privileges, since reconstructive cases often need OR access rather than an in-office suite. Get clarity on OHIP coverage versus out-of-pocket costs early, and ask how many similar cases they handle in a typical month.

All reconstructive & hand surgery in Mississauga, ranked by score and relevance

14 businesses, scored on recent reviews. The order weighs each business's overall score by how much of its reviewed work is reconstructive & hand surgery, so a lower-scored specialist can rank above a higher-scored generalist.

Face Sculptor Medical Aesthetic Clinic
5.0(169)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Face Sculptor delivers consistent natural-looking injectables through two trusted nurses, Cheska and Chiara, who prioritize honest guidance and refuse unnecessary upsells. The family-owned clinic in Mississauga has built a loyal following with warm service, a polished pink-aesthetic space, and transparent aftercare support. One dissatisfied client reported quick product fade and questioned brand authenticity, citing better results elsewhere. Most praise centers on result longevity, skill at asymmetry correction, and the team's willingness to pause treatments for optimal outcomes. Clients describe driving long distances to return.

Mississauga Physiotherapy and Orthopedic Centre
4.4(285)✓ Google-verified

Staff at this Mississauga center, especially physiotherapists Zawar and Sawar, earn consistent praise for professionalism, patience, and clear explanations. Patients recovering from knee replacement, rotator cuff surgery, and sports injuries report meaningful improvement and describe the team as genuinely invested in their progress. Doctors including Dr. Saiyed, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Levesque carry strong reputations for diagnostic skill and bedside manner. Reception staff (Janet, Shirley, and others) are flagged repeatedly for warmth and dependability. The clinic offers acupuncture, massage therapy, and custom exercises alongside standard physio, with patients noting particular success with electro-acupuncture for pain and mobility.

The Minor Surgery Center - TMSC
4.8(147)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Patients consistently experience fast scheduling and professional care from named surgeons and staff who explain procedures clearly and follow through with aftercare. One patient encountered insufficient anesthesia, missed infection signs, and improper wound cleaning at the first dressing, though later nursing care recovered the experience. Most cite the clean, welcoming atmosphere and ability to avoid provincial wait times as key strengths.

GraceMed Mississauga x McLean
4.7(273)✓ Google-verified

Most patients describe feeling genuinely cared for from first contact through recovery, with surgeons consistently earning trust and post-op nurses solving problems quickly. Staff like Janet, Lisa, Sarah, Rain, and Dr. Hong, Dr. Ghumman, and Dr. Armstrong get named for their attentiveness, though one recent visitor reported feeling disrespected during a consultation. Breast reduction, top surgery, and reconstruction dominate the reviews, with outcomes ranging from excellent scarring to natural sensation return. The clinic handles OHIP approvals, and many report rapid booking after consultation. A few wished for more surgeon face time during recovery, and one patient experienced a longer-than-expected wait at their appointment.

The Plastic Surgery Clinic
4.4(180)✓ Google-verified

Most patients praise Dr. Lista and Dr. Austin's technical skill and the team's attentiveness, with many reporting dramatic transformations and smooth recoveries. However, several recent reviews report missed 4-6 month post-op appointments, extreme rippling across multiple patients implanted in the same location, large scars, and unresponsive communication when issues arise after discharge.

McLean Clinic
4.3(27)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most patients describe transformative experiences with McLean's warm, attentive team and skilled surgeons, particularly for gender-affirming top surgery. One significant negative review documented surgical complications (asymmetry, nipple stretching, dog ears) that the patient felt were neither discussed beforehand nor adequately addressed during follow-up, tempting buyers to probe pre-op conversations about expected outcomes and revision policies.

The Mississauga Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Clinic: Dr. Michael J. Weinberg
4.0(147)✓ Google-verified

Most patients report smooth procedures and excellent bedside manner, with Dr. Weinberg earning particular praise for explaining options clearly and creating comfort during treatment. Results often exceed expectations, and staff interactions shape the positive experience. However, a significant minority cite substantial problems: long waits at appointments, forgotten in exam rooms, unanswered complaints after botched work, and complaints dismissed post-surgery despite complications including infection and chronic pain. The gap between best and worst experiences is stark. Five-star reviewers consistently mention aesthetic precision and supportive recovery, while those who struggled faced administrative lapses and unaddressed medical concerns. Wait times and follow-up care appear inconsistent across visits, suggesting operational gaps even when clinical skill is strong.

Mississauga Minor Surgery
4.4(39)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most patients praise Dr. Ejaz and Dr. Ammara Ghumman for calm, attentive care and smooth minor procedures with minimal pain and clear aftercare. The clinic feels clean, organized, and responsive to concerns. However, multiple reviewers report feeling pressured into unnecessary procedures with misleading claims about cost and OHIP eligibility. Quoted prices for lipoma and cyst removal were substantially higher than elsewhere. Trust issues arise when clinical judgment appears profit-driven rather than patient-first.

Plastic Surgeon - Credit Valley Hospital
3.1(19)✓ Google-verified

Dr. Turley receives consistently strong praise for bedside manner and reconstructive hand surgery, with several patients reporting excellent healing from trauma and functional repairs. However, a vocal minority report poor cosmetic results, overly deep incisions for minor procedures, and significant office access issues. The clinic's automated phone system does not accept messages, and multiple patients describe arriving to find the office closed during posted hours or being turned away after surgeries were cancelled.

Dr. Frank Lista
2.9(57)

Five-star reviewers praise Dr. Lista's expertise and staff warmth, but negative reviews spanning years dominate: botched breast augmentations, infections left untreated, 45-minute to 90-minute waits without updates, and a pattern of dismissive behavior during consultations. Several patients report sagging, asymmetry, or uneven scarring months to years post-op, and costs escalate sharply from phone quotes ($14,000) to final bills ($26,555+).

Dr Sharon Kim
3.0(20)✓ Google-verified

Five-star patients credit Dr. Kim with skilled hand and wrist surgery that resolved chronic pain and restored function, though one complicated case involved a bone graft. However, half the reviews are one-star: patients report unresponsive office staff, weeks without contact after referrals, judgmental interactions during appointments, and dismissive treatment of concerns. One patient was charged a $50 no-show fee despite canceling by voicemail and was later denied treatment. The split sentiment suggests capable surgical work undermined by communication failures and poor office management.

Richard Inman MD

#14Richard Inman MD

43 low data
4.0(4)

Long-term patients report solid outcomes from breast reduction and carpal tunnel work, with one praising swift recovery after following post-op advice. A separate breast augmentation case involved complications and alleged dismissal of concerns, with the patient seeking a second opinion elsewhere.

Common questions about reconstructive & hand surgery

Is reconstructive and hand surgery covered by OHIP in Ontario?
Medically necessary reconstructive procedures, including breast reconstruction after mastectomy and most hand surgeries like carpal tunnel release or trigger finger repair, are typically covered by OHIP when referred by a physician. Purely cosmetic add-ons or elective procedures without a medical diagnosis usually are not, so ask your surgeon's office to clarify what's billed to OHIP versus what you'd pay privately.
How do I know if a hand surgeon is qualified?
Look for board certification in plastic surgery or orthopedic surgery with additional fellowship training in hand and upper extremity surgery. Hospital privileges are a good indicator too, since surgeons need credentialing at a facility to operate there. Ask directly how often they perform the specific procedure you need.
What's recovery like after hand surgery?
It depends heavily on the procedure. Carpal tunnel release patients often return to light activity within days to a couple weeks, while tendon repairs or complex reconstructions can require splinting and hand therapy for several weeks to months. Ask your surgeon for a recovery timeline specific to your procedure and whether hand therapy is included in the plan.
How often do people need reconstructive surgery versus a one-time procedure?
Most reconstructive cases, like post-mastectomy or post-trauma repair, are one-time procedures, though staged reconstructions (multiple surgeries over months) are common for complex cases. Hand conditions like Dupuytren's contracture or trigger finger can recur and may need repeat treatment years later.
