Patients From Vancouver, BC

• Surgeons: Our bariatric surgeons specialise in bariatric surgery; it’s all they do. Our team includes a Surgeon of Excellence and Master Surgeon accredited by the SRC.
• State-of-the-art surgical facility: We’ve equipped our Toronto facility with specially designed bariatric surgery equipment and sophisticated patient monitoring systems.
• Accessible: After surgery, patients can speak with a bariatric surgeon 24/7 if initial questions arise. Our registered nurses and dieticians provide ongoing support by telephone and email.

Will I have to travel for aftercare?

Aside from travelling to Toronto for surgery, we have minimized the need for our out-of-province patients to travel by offering:

• Virtual consults: Our program advisors, surgeons, and healthcare team are available for online telehealth and virtual consultations, as well as by email and phone.
• Post-op care closer to home: We have an extensive network of affiliate physicians and nurses, trained by our medical staff, in over 45 cities and towns across Canada.
• Educational webinars: Part of our world-class aftercare support includes online nutrition training and patient support groups.

How do I get to your centre?

SmartShape surgeons perform surgery at the Clearpoint Surgical Centre Toronto, which is fully accredited by the Canadian Association of Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (CAAASF). It is one of only two provincially certified private hospitals. It is centrally located and accessible to major highways; the address is 20 Wynford Drive, Suite 103, Toronto, ON, which is about 30 minutes by car from the airport.

We recommend patients coming from out-of-province reduce their risk of exposure to COVID-19 by staying at the Sheraton at the Toronto International Airport.
