SmartShape has a dedicated surgical weight loss centre in Toronto, Ontario. We are also a member of Clearpoint Health Network, which has surgical centres in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver. Each SmartShape clinic is fully-equipped with the most advanced medical equipment, including specially-designed bariatric surgical equipment and highly-sophisticated patient monitoring systems. All of our clinics are maintained to meet or exceed all quality standards established provincially by each College of Physicians and Surgeons.
SmartShape provides Gastric Sleeve, Mini Gastric Bypass, Revision Surgery, and LAP-BAND® weight loss procedures in Canada performed by our experienced, compassionate medical experts, but the key to our success lies in the 5 years of comprehensive lifestyle support every one of our patients receives: our 5-Year AfterCare Success Program. This proven system ensures that you are able to reach and maintain your goal weight through healthy-habit and positive-mindset coaching. Thousands of Canadians who once struggled with excess weight, obesity and type 2 diabetes are now healthier, more confident and living their best lives, thanks to SmartShape.
