Our Standards

Our mission is to provide the highest quality of care and outcome for you before, during and after your surgical procedures. Our entire staff and facility have been developed with that goal in mind.

Our facility is fully accredited by the Canadian Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities an organization started by Dr Lloyd Carlsen in 1990, and we are proud to be the first facility to receive that recognition. Because of his concerns for patient safety, Dr Carlsen started the Canadian Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities to ensure that member organizations had the proper equipment for day to day operations and emergency situations. Member facilities are inspected on a regular basis to ensure that these safety standards are upheld.

All physicians on staff have privileges to admit patients to a hospital in the unlikely event of an emergency.

The nurses looking after you at the Cosmetic Surgery Hospital are all fully registered nurses. They are extensively trained to look after patients and recognize the special needs that may be associated with cosmetic surgery procedures. Unfortunately, in busy community hospitals, cosmetic surgery patients because of the nature of their surgery are not always treated as nicely as they should be. We want this surgical experience to be as pleasant for you as possible.

For many procedures an overnight stay may be deemed appropriate by your surgeon. This can make the postoperative course easier for both the patient and the patient’s family. You might wish to discuss with your surgeon whether an overnight stay would be appropriate.
