Ottawa Derm Centre has the most reviews of any clinic on this list at 4.8 stars, with patients repeatedly praising surgeons Dr. Brownrigg and Dr. Chitte along with staff like Cheryl, Amber, and Heather for a calm, professional manner. Free parking and transparent consultations come up often as reasons patients keep returning.

Dr. Sean Smith Plastic Surgery
4.7 (37 reviews)score 78/100
Dr. Sean Smith draws strong praise for precise outcomes in breast reduction and top surgery, with patients across body types and gender identities highlighting his attentive consultations and a responsive post-op team. The review base is smaller than the leaders on this list, so weigh the mostly strong track record against a few reports of serious follow-up conflict.
- Strong reputation for gender-affirming and top surgery outcomes
- Natural-looking breast reduction results praised repeatedly
- Dedicated surgical coordinator (Sarah) for post-op questions
- Fast scheduling and OHIP coordination
Watch out: A small number of patients described unresolved revision surgery commitments and difficulty obtaining medical records.
Services: breast augmentation, body contouring, plastic surgery clinic, facial plastic surgery
Ottawa Rhinoplasty & Facial Surgery - Dr. James Bonaparte, MD, MSc, FRCSC
4.5 (28 reviews)score 77/100
Dr. James Bonaparte focuses specifically on rhinoplasty and facial surgery, and patients highlight both natural-looking results and functional breathing improvements. His FRCSC certification and AAFPRS fellowship training back up a practice built around unhurried consultations and accessible aftercare, though the review count here is modest.
- FRCSC certified and AAFPRS fellowship-trained
- Natural-looking results emphasized by patients
- Accessible post-op communication
- Surgeries performed at Carleton Place Hospital
Watch out: One reviewer noted the practice declined to provide a second opinion consultation.
Services: breast augmentation, plastic surgery clinic, facial plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery
Ottawa Plastic Surgery: Dr. Kirsty Boyd
4.8 (18 reviews)score 68/100
Dr. Kirsty Boyd's patients describe thoughtful consultations and a team that makes them feel genuinely heard, with strong marks for bedside manner and results. The review base is small and one patient reported a long, unresolved wait for a revision appointment, so this is one to weigh carefully against the busier clinics above.
- Board-certified surgeon known for detailed consultations
- Strong rapport between patients and clinic team
- Natural-looking surgical results reported
- Warm, welcoming clinic atmosphere
Watch out: One reviewer waited over a year for a follow-up appointment with concerns left unaddressed.
Services: breast augmentation, body contouring, plastic surgery clinic, facial plastic surgery
Dr. Michel Gallant MD, FRCSC
4.1 (18 reviews)score 63/100
Dr. Michel Gallant earns strong praise from most patients for body contouring and breast surgery results, and offers bilingual French and English service across a wide range from cosmetic to reconstructive work. Sentiment is mixed overall: several reviewers describe consultations that felt rushed or insensitive and complications that weren't fully addressed afterward.
- FRCSC board certified with a wide surgical range
- Bilingual French and English service
- Strong results reported in body contouring and breast surgery
- Welcoming clinic environment for most patients
Watch out: A number of reviewers cite rushed appointments and post-operative complications that weren't fully resolved.
Services: breast augmentation, plastic surgery clinic, reconstructive surgery, gender affirming surgery
Dr. Peter Brownrigg
3.8 (41 reviews)score 58/100
Dr. Peter Brownrigg draws consistent five-star praise for Botox and scar-prevention technique, and teaches at Canadian universities alongside board certification from both American and Canadian bodies. Reviews are split, though: a cluster of one-star reports describe rhinoplasty results that looked unchanged from before surgery despite 3D imaging promises, so this entry carries lower confidence than others on this list.
- Botox results consistently praised
- Specialized scar-prevention technique
- Teaches at Canadian universities
- Board-certified by both American and Canadian bodies
Watch out: Several reviewers report rhinoplasty outcomes that didn't match the 3D imaging shown beforehand, with concerns they felt were dismissed.
Services: breast augmentation, body contouring, plastic surgery clinic, facial plastic surgery
