Welcome

Announcement: Sept 1 2024.

Catalyst Surgical is now open! Please visit us at catalystsurgical.ca

We ARE accepting some referrals at this time for top surgery, but are definitely accepting new referrals and self-referrals for facial affirmation (both facial feminization and masculinization) and body contouring. We are also accepting referrals and self-referrals for general plastic surgery cosmetic procedures which may or may not be gender-affirming in nature. Please email us at info@catalystsurgical.ca for more information.

We are also doing provider orientation to our clinic for primary care practitioners (e.g. family physicians, nurse practitioners) as well as referring specialists (e.g endocrinology, pediatrics), so if your gender-affirming care physician wants more information, please get them to email us at info@catalystsurgical.ca !

Announcement : Sept 27 2023.

I am no longer working at the Mclean Clinic/GraceMed Mississauga.

If you had surgery with me and wish to continue follow-ups with me, an announcement will be going out to inform you of new contact information and how to book a followup with me.

Please be patient as everything is in chaos at this stage of transition. We haven’t forgotten about you! If, by November 20th, you have NOT received a notice about the new practice, information will be available on this site for you to contact us.

I am honoured to have been the agent of change for those of you who have already had surgery with me. In the last year, I’ve been proud to serve more than 200 of you. Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere. I will be going to do this important work with the passion I have always shown at a new home soon. Stay tuned!
