I recently underwent breast reduction surgery with Dr.Shortt in February of 2024 and I can confidently say it was a life-changing experience. From the initial consultation to post-operative care, every step was handled with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.

During the consultation, he took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and thoroughly explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. His compassionate approach immediately put me at ease, and I felt reassured knowing I was in capable hands.

On the day of the surgery, the entire medical team displayed utmost professionalism and competence. All staff was extremely kind and helpful. I was extremely nervous but the amazing staff put my nerves as ease.

Post-operatively, Dr.Shortt provided thorough instructions for recovery and was readily available to address any questions or concerns. His dedication to patient care extended beyond the operating room, and I felt supported throughout the healing process.

The results of my breast reduction surgery exceeded my expectations. Not only do I feel more comfortable physically, but my confidence and self-esteem have soared. I am now two months post op and I feel amazing, I am back to all regular activities and my scars looks phenomenal. Dr.Shortt has truly transformed my life, and I am forever grateful for his expertise and compassion.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr.Shortt to anyone considering breast reduction surgery. His exceptional surgical skills, compassionate approach, and commitment to patient satisfaction make him a top choice for anyone seeking a positive surgical experience. Thank you, Dr.Shortt, for changing my life for the better.

Dr. Shortt and his supportive and professional staff made my cosmetic surgery experience great from first impression to my last follow up. Personally, it was a big deal from an emotional, physical and financial sense for me to consider and ultimately make the decision to proceed with cosmetic treatment. Dr. Shortt provided be with comprehensive, evidence-based information to guide me in making my choice. The entire team is compassionate and thorough. To all those women out there who have debated for years about making a change for better, a consultation to find out what is possible will surely help you gain perspective and confidence. Thank you Dr. Shortt!

Dr.Shortt is EXCEPTIONAL. He is professional, and very comfortable to be around. He explains what to expect and is patient and caring. I am extremely impressed and would highly recommend him. He is a master of his profession.

I had a breast reduction/lift with Dr Shortt. It was worth the wait! 2 years later and I LOVE my breasts! Day of surgery I was so nervous but from the moment the nurse greeted me that all went away…surgery went so smoothly. I am so thankful for him. I have heard so many breast reduction horror stories but I can not relate lol. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

I spent a year researching a mommy makeover. I found Dr. Shortt and decided to make an appointment . It was another year on a waiting list. I was confident in my research and was willing to wait. From the very first visit I felt I had made the best choice and was confident going in the day of surgery. Dr. Short and his entire team were incredible, reassuring me as I was put under to waking me and talking me through the process. We all know that there is a small chance of complications. This is where Dr. Shortt steps up. I went through a tough complication that was no fault of the Dr. it is just one of those chances.(Dr. Shortt himself has never seen this in his years of practice, so not common.) Dr. Shortt has truly unbelievable through this entire process. Seeing me weekly and treating me not only physically but emotionally and mentally. It was an extremely tough process that he guided me through and always made me feel taken care of and reassured. He stepped up when the going got tough and that is what you want! Now 5 months later I am healed and very happy with the results. My breasts are the perfect size for me and perky again. My tummy flat. Dr. Shortt is truly gifted. I do have a scar from the complications that I am ok with, but I will make it clear Dr. Shortt has offer to fix it any time. My husband and I feel like family when we go and although I am happy to have healed well thanks to Dr. Shortt We will miss our visits with him and his entire team. Thank you for my beautiful new body and all your care!

Dr. Shortt is a wonderful surgeon and person. For years I struggled with my results from previous surgeries (from a different surgeon) and thought I would never be able to move on. Dr. Shortt’s skill has allowed me to close that chapter and I will be forever grateful to him for that. I was not the easiest case and you would never know that now by the results. My only regret is that I didn’t find him sooner. Thank you Dr. Shortt for exceeding my expectations and renewing my faith in your profession.

It took me a long time to decide to get a mommy makeover. Many years ago I had consulted another doctor and left feeling uncomfortable about my body and unsure. When a friend told me about doctor Shortt I decided to go see him and the rest is history. Dr Shortt and his team were wonderful from the beginning to the end. The surgery went well and I am very pleased with the results. I wanted a breast reduction and a belly button that looks natural and he provided both. He is professional, attentive and caring and his work speaks for itself. I recommend dr Shortt and his team!

I found Dr. Shortt to be so incredibly kind, professional, honest, and informative. All the things I was looking for in a Dr. that would be changing my appearance. His staff is excellent, kind and caring as well, making sure you are informed and taken care of. I was looking for an overall natural appearance in my augmentation and that is exactly what was achieved. Dr. Shortt answered all my questions and his guidance was crucial in the results I received. I am very happy with my results and would recommend Dr. Shorty to anyone looking to have cosmetic surgery.

Great experience with Dr Shortt with my breast reduction and lift. Breastfed 2 kids – 1 for over 2 years so my boobs were quite sad and really aged me as a 37 year old. My recovery was great, I didn’t feel pain after a week or so. Breasts look great- almost unbelievable. Will add pics when I get them

Dr. Shortt and his team give a warm welcoming. I was so comfortable with the entire process from start to finish. If I had any questions and concerns they would answer everyone and made any anxiety come to ease. If I could rate higher than a 5 I would. Dr. Shortt’s work is a masterpiece. I feel more confident in my skin. I’m grateful for the care they provided me after my care. Thank you.

I had a scar revision surgery that was previously worked on by Dr Shortt. All my major surgeries have been performed by Dr Shortt and he’s always very approachable when it comes to answering all if my questions and helping me decide the right path to proceed with. His staff is also so warm and welcoming. Answering all my concerns and making me feel comfortable.

My entire experience was so comfortable, ranging from appointments in the clinic to seeing him at the hospital for my surgery. His assistant Joanne is very kind and helpful. Very professional and I am so so satisfied and happy with my results. I was terrified of the procedure but I am so glad I got it done and that I had an excellent surgeon that got me to where I needed to be. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Thank you Dr. Shortt and Joanne for everything! I truly appreciate it 🙂

Dr Shortt was amazing and so was his entire staff! Great experience and super happy with results.

Thank you Dr. Shortt for your beautiful work on my breast augmentation! I was so nervous before our first consult but your kind demeanour, knowledge and thoroughness set me right at ease. It’s only been 7 weeks an my incisions are beautiful, the size you helped me choose was perfect and result beautiful and natural

I highly recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone who is looking to have a tummy tuck procedure performed by Dr. Shortt, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the results. From start to finish, my experience with Dr. Shortt and his team at Briarwood GraceMed was nothing short of exceptional. Thank you, Dr. Shortt you are amazing doctor

My work was minor but facial

You could not tell there was any stitching

The OR experience was surprisingly pleasant

Definitely would recommend

Dr. Shortt is just a wonderful person- he is extremely professional but also warm, caring, and offers a little hint of humour here and there. He is a skilled surgeon and offers a natural aesthetic which is what I wanted. Dr. Shortt aims to bring natural, lasting results in his work. I knew from my initial consultation that I was in excellent hands. My surgery was performed in the office location, which was very convenient and comfortable. His nursing staff is outstanding. He hand picks his team for surgeries, including the anesthesiologist. Every interaction I had is the same; respectful, professional, caring. I would wholeheartedly recommend this awesome team.

I can’t speak highly enough of dr. Shortt. The entire experience, from the moment I walked in his clinic, was fantastic. Dr. Shortt was not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all my questions and concerns. I am very satisfied with tummy tuck and breast reduction results. I left the clinic feeling confident in the care I received. If you’re looking for a reputable clinic with a compassionate doctor, look no further than doctor Rodger Shortt. Highly recommended.

Dr. Shortt performed my breast augmentation, and I’m over the moon thrilled with my results!
Dr. Shortt was very professional and knowledgeable when it came to customizing my procedure. He was very confident he would be able to give me exactly what I wanted, and with that, he exceeded my expectations.
Cosmetic surgery is something that is very personal, and I felt very vulnerable being in this position. Dr. Shortt was very easy to talk to as he has excellent bedside manner and realistic expectations for his patients.
I highly recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone who is looking to have their breasts done as he is one of the best in the industry!
It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with him. I can confidently rate my overall experience with him and his team a 10/10!

I had extremely large breasts. Dr Shortt did an amazing job on the reduction. They healed beautifully and look perfect. They even match my size (I look proportioned). Both Dr. Shortt and his staff were pleasant to deal with and caring. Highly recommended!

Great experience! Dr Shortt is kind, empathetic and has great bedside manner. I was very comfortable leaving my surgical needs in his capable hands. Thank you Dr. Shortt!

Dr. Shortt is an incredibly talented surgeon with an amazing team beside him. He is the best of the best and his skills prove that. So personable and realistic.

I had some spots on my forehead that were getting bigger for several years. It was the middle and sides of my forehead and very visible. I was constantly hiding them under hats and long hair. I’m in healthcare and I was very concerned about the possibility of bad scarring. I saw Dr. Shortt in consultation to have them removed. He immediately put me at ease with his manner and experience. He removed the spots for me and it was a truly amazing experience . Not only are the spots gone but there is virtually nothing left on my forehead to see. I can’t remember where they were. I have had no recurrences of the spots and there is literally no scars. If I have anything in the future I know where I’ll go for treatment. Thanks again to Dr. Shortt and his team for such thorough and comprehensive care.

My journey to Dr. Shortt began over a year ago when I started on my weight loss journey. When I had lost 90 pounds I started to do my research for the best surgeon to fix my saggy breasts and excess skin on my tummy. From my first interaction with his office, and his very helpful assistant Joanne, I felt comfortable and confident that I’d made the right choice in surgeons.

At my consultation appointment, Dr. Shortt listened to my concerns and gave me options to get the best results for my body. He made me feel comfortable in his knowledge of the procedures and even made a few suggestions for options that I hadn’t considered, like taking some excess fat from my tummy and transferring it to my upper breast to make them fuller once he’d lifted them.

I finally decided to have an “extended tummy tuck and a breast lift with fat transfer to the upper breasts”.

On the day of surgery, the nurse’s Geraldine and Rachel were so kind and calmed my nerves while they got me ready for the operating room. The anesthesiologist, Dr.White was extremely nice.

After the surgery, in recovery, I was taken care of by Nurse Kim who was so caring and comforting.

My next week flew by with no concerns and manageable pain. I was worried about having my tummy tuck drain removed but Kristin, the post op nurse, was so gentle, I didn’t feel a thing.

I hadn’t looked in the mirror all week because I wanted to see the results with Dr.Shortt when the bandages were removed. He handed me the mirror and to say I was overjoyed would be an understatement! I could not believe that my stomach and breasts could look so amazing! And my new belly button is a work of art!

Dr . Shortt’s attention to detail after my surgery has been equally impressive. His use of silicone pieces and scar massage has helped to insure my scars heal as well as possible.

It’s been 3 months since my surgery and I continue to be surprised every time I look in the mirror! My body never looked like this, not even when I was much younger!

I can not thank Dr.Shortt and his staff enough for this wonderful experience. It far exceeded my expectations !

I recently underwent breast reduction surgery performed by Dr. Shortt.

It is important to know a little about me before I give details of my experiences. In my family, cosmetic surgery is a no-no, regardless of the reason. I never visited a male doctor (by choice). In the past, I suffered shoulder, neck, and back pain due to my asymmetrical and heavy breasts. My search for a good surgeon started about three years ago. I saw at least four surgeons before I met Dr. Shortt. As someone who was on the wait list for 1.5-2 years, I am happy to report that it was well worth the wait.

Unlike many other surgeons who made me feel like many things in my body were not in proper shape and suggested with breast reduction, I may need to fix the others, and I remember leaving their offices with quotes of at least $20K plus and my experience with Dr. Shortt was just the opposite.

When I met Dr. Shortt and the team, we discussed my health problem and why surgery is needed. Our meeting was not geared toward selling me anything extra. He explained the entire process to me, starting with OHIP paperwork, waiting for approval, surgery, recovery time, aftercare, etc. He was patient and understanding, answering my questions and addressing my concerns. He was genuinely interested in my well-being and made sure I left his office feeling confident and informed.

On surgery day, he walked me through every step of the process and what to expect after. I was reassured by his clear communication and excellent handling of every detail, which alleviated my worries and gave me a sense of peace. The surgery results are genuinely awesome, and it has already made a big difference to my self-esteem and physical well-being. It has changed my life in a way that I could not be happier. After my experience and positive effects, other family members who opposed breast reduction are now considering it 🙂

In addition to his professionalism and genuine nature, he was kind and patient. I felt entirely at ease and comfortable throughout our interactions, even though I had never sought medical advice from a male doctor before.

I would recommend him to anyone looking for top-quality surgery.

If you are reading this… Dr. Shortt. Thank you so much!!

I highly recommend Dr. Shortt, he is a great surgeon with exceptional skills and a very pleasant personality. I had bilateral axillary contour liposuction procedure in February, 2023. It’s been seven months since I had my surgery, I’m extremely happy with the results, it feels great wearing a bra without having any discomfort and the shape of my breasts on both sides look amazing. Dr. Shortt is complemented by am amazing team in the operating room and at the front desk, always there to help you go through the process of surgery and post-op visits. Thank you dr. Shortt for the amazing surgery results!

4 months ago I went through a breast fat transfer surgery with Dr Shortt and I can’t even find the words to explain how happy I am with this procedure along with the professionalism and knowledge and skill is this plastic surgeon. I really did my homework in researching this procedure and finding not only a Doctor that did this procedure but took care and enjoyed his job. From the first consultation I felt secure that I was in the right hands. He took his time to explain everything…I never felt rushed.

His staff was also exceptional. All kind, thoughtful and very responsive. I had zero issues but that may have been because i was properly prepped, left with take home literature and an aftercare referrals.

I think that if you are considering any breast augmentation, breast fat transfer surgery… You just can’t go wrong choosing this Doctor.

I recently underwent a tummy tuck procedure performed by Dr. Shortt, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the results. From start to finish, my experience with Dr. Shortt and his team at Briarwood GraceMed was nothing short of exceptional.

First and foremost, Dr. Shortt exhibited a level of professionalism and expertise that immediately put me at ease. During the initial consultation, he took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer all of my questions, and address any concerns I had, which reassured me. Especially since my situation was tricky because I have a medical history with SVT, a heart condition. He made sure to stay in contact with my heart specialist and the anesthesiologist to find the safest way for the procedure to be performed.

On the day of the surgery, the entire team at GraceMed made me feel comfortable and well-cared for. The facility was clean and well-maintained, and the staff members were compassionate and attentive. Dr. Shortt and his surgical team demonstrated exceptional skill and precision throughout the procedure. He had all the equipment needed if I potentially suffered from an SVT episode during the surgery.

As I recovered, Dr. Shortt continued to provide outstanding support and follow-up care. He made himself available to address any post-operative concerns and ensured my healing process was on track. His dedication to his patient’s well-being was truly remarkable.

Now, several months after the surgery, I couldn’t be happier with the results. My tummy tuck has not only enhanced my physical appearance but has also boosted my confidence and self-esteem. The scarring is minimal and well-hidden.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone considering a tummy tuck or any other plastic surgery procedure. His commitment to patient care, coupled with his surgical skills, makes him a top choice in the field. I am grateful for the life-changing transformation he has helped me achieve.

Thank you, Dr. Shortt, and the entire team at GraceMed, for your outstanding care and expertise!

I had a breast reduction & abdominoplasty…, I am thrilled with the results! I was extremely nervous for my first appointment and was met with a very professional and personable team. Joanne is Dr Shortts receptionist and is quite simply lovely, the nurse I met with following my surgery was caring, as well as expedient in removing my stitches and Dr Shortt well, I don’t have a ton of experience with surgeons however, he is compassionate, knowledgeable and has made me look and feel my very best! He made me feel at ease from our first meeting, listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions. Excellent surgeon and great guy!

Could not ask for a better surgeon. Stitch work is amazing. It has been three months since I had my surgery and I am very pleased with the results. I did a lot of research prior to my surgery and resulted in Dr. Shortt being the best surgeon out there to perform my breast lift as I was worried about scarring. The reviews were correct, he is an excellent surgeon and I am only three months post op and you can barely see the scars. 100 percent would recommend Dr. Shortt.

I can not thank Dr.Shortt and his staff enough for this wonderful experience. It far exceeded my expectations !

Dr. Shortt is an amazing surgeon. I fully trusted him with my breast implant exchange (Sept 2023) as it was clear he was highly skilled but also attentive, realistic and caring in his approach. He and his staff are very kind and professional; you’ll enjoy your office visits. I’ve met with many highly reputable surgeons in the GTA and even had my first BA with another skilled surgeon I really respect years ago, but choosing Dr. Shortt this time was still an easy decision. I had tuberous breasts naturally, and Dr. Shortt corrected it much better this time. I have no regrets and am thrilled with my results. You are the BEST Dr. Shortt, thank goodness you became a surgeon 🙂

Where do I begin… I was pondering the idea of fixing my c-section scar for a while. I had 3 c-sections and even though I always lived a fit lifestyle, the little fold over my scars did bother me. After many consultations with amazingly patient Dr. Shortt we settled on the mini tummy tuck to address my concern. Now guys… I am the nervous type. I literally almost walked off the bed in the operating room the day of my procedure, but not only Dr. Shortt, the ENTIRE TEAM were absolutely fantastic. Everyone was patient, kind, attentive, all my questions and concerns were always answered, big or small. The anesthesiologist did so great that I woke up and was home some 45 minutes after the procedure.

I was (and still am) thrilled with the result. My recovery was very smooth and I didn’t even complete the advised 5 days of Tylenol, and didnt have to touch the stronger prescription painkillers. My tummy looks great. It was best decision ever. Now I can finally wear a bikini and not feel self-conscious that my s-section fold is poking out.

You are in very very very good hands with Dr. Shortt. Don’t even think twice.

Dr. Shortt was a fantastic surgeon, who not only made me feel comfortable but also did an amazing job on my medical procedure. The post-op results exceeded my expectations, and my scars are healing incredibly well. My recovery has been normal and his caring nurses were quick to answer any questions I had before and after. I would not have had these amazing results I did if I had gone to any other surgeon. Well worth the wait!

Thanks Dr. Shortt!

After much research I chose Dr Shortt as he truly seemed to care about his patients happiness. From the first call with Joanne to my last visit I felt at ease with all his amazing staff. Day of surgery for a tummy tuck my nurse talked me through what was going to happen. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed as I could possibly be. Dr Shortt is so caring and kind again explaining all the possibilities that could happen. His honestly was greatly appreciated. My surgery went smoothly and waking up my caring nurse was wonderful. I did have a small issue that Dr Shortt assured me could be corrected. He recently did my repair and it turned out perfect. I can now look in the mirror with a smile on my face. I never would have thought I could look this good. By the way what you read is true. I now have an amazing belly button. Thank you Dr Shortt. I truly recommend Dr Shortt and all his staff. They made this experience as easy as it could be. Thank you all for your care and kindness it will never be forgotten. Rest assured if you choose Dr Shortt and his team you will not be disappointed.

Dr. Shortt and his staff were amazing, they are very skilled and personable. I had an abdominoplasty and liposuction procedure and the results are fantastic, I am extremely happy. Dr. Shortt went over and above to help me in my healing process and to make sure all was to my satisfaction. My Belly Button looks better now than it ever did! I would recommend Dr Shortt and his office to everyone! Thank you Dr. Shortt!!

Dr. Shortt and his team were absolutely fantastic. His care and skills are exemplary. He answered every one of my questions clearly and gave me everything I needed to make a well informed choice which lead me to a happy and pleasing outcome. His kindness and integrity made me feel that I was in the best hands at all times. I sincerely recommend him. His supporting staff are very kind and helpful as well, making the overall experience excellent. I will be going back in future.

I had a tummy tuck with extensive hernia repair 2 months ago by Dr Shortt. I am very happy with the results. His staff is wonderful and so helpful. Dr. Shortt is very knowledgeable and I felt I was in capable hands the entire time. Also – Dr Shortt creates the BEST belly buttons in the business!

Where do I begin…

My whole life I’ve lived with a very severe case of breast asymmetry. Growing up wasn’t an easy thing for me to say the least.

At 16 my mother brought me to a local plastic surgeon that had traumatized me, so I never pursued anything further due to the humiliation and shame.

Finally, as a women approaching 50… I looked into getting something done…

Dr. Shortt was recommended to me and I am extremely forever grateful.

He has changed my life forever.

From the initial consultation how comfortable and caring making me feel at ease …to the Amazing transformation of my breasts. He paid great attention to detail (which I’m sure wasn’t easy with the huge difference) for my right side reduction and a left side mastopexy.

I can’t express my gratitude enough how he has changed my whole well being.

I can finally stand tall and be a confident woman.

Please take it from me…

I HIGHLY without a single doubt recommend Dr.Shortt to everyone doing research on reviews that needs any procedure done… you can truly see he loves what he does making people healthy and feel good about themselves.

Dr. Shortt and all of his staff are AMAZING!!!

I’d rate a million stars if I could⭐️

I lost my bellybutton due to a previous surgery and doctor Shortt was able to work his magic and create a new one for me, he is real artist! I am so pleased with the results (exceeded my exceptions) as well as with the preparation and support that Dr. Shortt and his team provided to me prior to the surgery and afterwards. I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone!

I am 1 year post op for breast augmentation. I couldn’t be happier. He was knowledgeable and straight forward. I feel the quality of his work above par. My recovery was quick with minimal pain. I’d do it again. Highly recommend.

Dr. Shortt is excellent. He is very skilled and personable. I was extremely doubtful and nervous. He took his time, he provided a detail and realistic explanation. He honoured my person. Though fearful, I moved ahead because displayed such integrity, professionalism and humanity. I absolutely did not regret the decision. What a wonderful outcome! As a woman of colour, I encourage women just like me to meet Dr. Shortt-you will not be disappointed. I encourage any person meet this kind, thoughtful and highly skilled Dr. I have never in my life written a review; I would be remiss if I didn’t speak in this moment. Absolutely wonderful surgeon. Thank you Dr. Shortt.

Dr Shortt is an excellent plastic surgeon and a very personable human being. He is most patient explaining every detail about the breast reduction operation I was going for, answering all my questions.

He is also extremely empathetic and makes you feel good about yourself.

I was very anxious about the procedure but after the consultations, I was reassured and all my worries vanished. I had total confidence in my doctor! Rightly so as the operation went well and the results were very satisfying though my recovery was a bit longer than expected… no fault to the doctor.

If I had to go through another plastic surgery operation I would not want any other doctor but Dr Shortt.

Dr Shortt and his staff are amazing ! I had fat transfer to my breast just over a year ago now and the entire process was great ! He is super friendly and took the time to answer any questions I had , I never felt rushed at all. His bedside manner is 10/10 same for his receptionist and nurses. After the surgery I barely had any pain ! Recovery went well I had no problems whatsoever! My results look great :)I had basically non existent breast before, they are still small but I have a much better shape now plus got to get some lipo on my stomach ! I would love to get a second fat transfer to add even more volume but I’ve decide to wait until after having children so it will be a few years but I will 100% be returning to dr shortt and would recommend him to anyone looking to get breast surgery/liposuction!

Amazing team of medical professionals here! I went to Dr Shortt for abdominoplasty and submental liposuction. Standing in front of someone and exposing the part(s) of your body that you feel the most self-conscious about is an extremely vulnerable position to be in. From the minute I met Dr. Shortt he made me feel totally at ease. He was very professional but with a personal touch that made me feel completely confident that I was in the hands of someone who wasn’t just doing a job, but truly cared about addressing my concerns and giving me the results I was looking for. I had been to two other plastic surgeons for consults and Dr. Shortt was the only one of the three who made me feel seen as a person, not just as a job. He took the time to bring me into his office to show me a presentation explaining the procedure and what I could expect and to discuss the risks. I did not feel rushed at all. His assistant Joanne was very nice to deal with and very responsive any time I called with a question or to arrange appointments. I told them that I have had issues with anesthesia and the day of my surgery, coming out of anesthesia in recovery, every time I opened my eyes his nurse was standing literally right in front of me watching me to make sure I was okay. I also had several follow up appointments in the months following to make sure that I did not have any concerns about how my recovery and results. I am very pleased with my results and the attention and care I received, and I would recommend Dr. Shortt and his team to anyone looking for great results with personal attention and service.

Dr. Shortt performed my thigh lift last October and I can’t say enough about how fantastic the experience was. From Joanne his assistant, all the other staff, the anesthesiologist to Dr. Shortt himself everyone is down to earth and make you feel very comfortable. This was a procedure that was a big decision to do and I couldn’t be happier with my results and the care that I received. I highly recommend Dr. Shortt and his fabulous team and always do whenever I am given the opportunity.

Dr. Shortt has removed several skin lesions over the past few years, including one on my face.
I am thrilled with the cosmetic result. The scar is essentially invisible.
His bedside manner is excellent. He put me at ease as he is both down-to-earth and exceptionally competent. Dr. Shortt has treated both me, and members of my immediate family. As a physician myself, he is the only plastic surgeon I trust.

I found Dr Roger Short through my therapist, one of her clients was willing to share his information and experience with me.
I knew after my first visit with him that I found the right surgeon to address my body dysphoria that I was dealing with.
I’m a trans woman, I live as my true self the best I can, my body dysphoria makes it’s harder when your body doesn’t fit how you feel or think about yourself.

I can’t say enough good things about Doctor Roger Shortt, his office staff from Joanne his receptionist coordinator to his medical director Cari and everyone else on his team were so professional.

I had Liposuction and fat transfer to deal with my body dysphoria, I put all my trust in Doctor Shortt, I’m not disappointed that I did.

If you find yourself fortunate enough to have Dr Roger Shortt as your surgeon, I can say that you’re in caring hands.

I’ve done other procedures in the past and nothing has come even somewhat close to my amazing experience with Dr Rodger Shortt and his staff. From my first consult to the surgery day and my post-op appointments, they have been just a pleasure to work with. I am so happy I found Dr Shortt and I am over the moon about my results. I have struggled with loose skin on my belly for a long time. I lost a lot of weight when I was younger, then add 2 children to the mix and it got even worse. I tried everything until I realized a TT was my only option. I went around and did a lot of research and I met with a few other doctors until I made my decision and like I said earlier int his review no doctor came close to how Dr Shortt made me feel. He is so patient, took the time to go over every single detail. I didn’t feel rushed at all in my consult. He was very honest about what procedure I needed (I originally went in thinking I needed liposuction). I walked out of the consult and within a few days I called back to book my surgery day, I felt so confident with him and his work.
Bed side manner is 10/10. All the staff that was in the operating room (Nurses and anesthesiologist) were beyond amazing. One of the nurses held my hand just before I went under the anesthetic. They made me feel so comforted and confident that they would be taking great care of me during the procedure. The post-op care nurse was also so amazing.

Joanne, Dr Shortt’s assistant, was just a pleasure to also work with. She is also so incredibly patient and truly cares! I must have emailed over a dozen times but at no point did she make me feel like I was too much. She was there for me every question I asked and her turn around time to all my emails were so quick! She always answered all my questions. She provided me with all the guidance needed before going to my procedure and all the information needed to make sure I was ready for the big day.

The results: I am now 3 months post-op and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I knew that Dr Shortt was the best and the results are only getting better and better each week. I was most scared about how my belly button would turn out, but he really takes belly button business seriously! LOL! He took extra time to make sure it was perfect and his results really speak for themselves. My TT incision is really low as it should be and with his post-op care guidance, it is healing really really well. I have a new found confidence thanks to his amazing work!

I really cannot say enough about Dr Rodger Shortt, Joanne and his entire staff. If I can give them 100 stars, they deserve that! If you are on the fence about any treatment, visit Dr Shortt and he will give you the honest truth and make you feel so great about it too! You are in good hands with him and his staff!

I saw Dr Short to look at a mole and a cyst. He was friendly and professional and left the smallest incision that healed perfectly. I recommend Dr Shortt for anything – he’ll give you honest advice and take good care of you.

I did quite a bit of research into breast fat transfers and I’m so glad that I asked for Dr. Shortt. He is very experienced in fat grafting and my experience so far has been amazing!

If anyone else is thinking about Breast Fat Transfers, I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt.
What you can expect is that:
– There may be a long wait time before the initial consultation (3-4 years), but ask to be on the cancellation list. I was very fortunate to get an appointment in less than a year. After that, I was able to book a surgery date within 3 months.
– I was well taken care of. The nurse contacted me for pre-op instructions, blood work/ECG, and measurements for the compression garments (worn for at least 6 weeks post-op)
– Breast fat retention differs from person to person. After the first procedure, I went from less than an A cup to a more full A cup at the 3 month mark. It was very easy to discuss with Dr. Shortt about a second procedure at one of the post-op appointments. Dr. Shortt always appreciated my well-being first and I had no seromas or cysts. It was a short period of time to book a second surgery date as well (within 1 year, could be longer if desired).
– Massage therapy was recommended one week post-op. My massage therapist said that Dr. Shortt’s liposuction work was some of the best that they had seen. The position of the puncture sites for the fat retrieval were perfectly placed to not impede my lymphatic drainage and healing. My massage therapist said that they’ve seen procedures from other physicians in and outside of Canada that had poorer healing in comparison. (I also recommend massage therapy for the fat retrieval sites – my bit of bruising went away very quickly!)
– It was easy to connect with a nurse if I had any post-op questions and to ask Dr. Shortt any questions at the post-op visit.

I hope that is helpful for anyone thinking about fat transfer.

Overall, highly highly recommend Dr. Shortt for this procedure!

Dr. Shortt is the most amazing surgeon I have ever met. He had to remove skin cancer from just below my left eye and you can hardly see the scar. He has a way of making you feel at ease when you’re really nervous. I have seen him for 2 procedures and many appointments and I can’t say how much I appreciate him and his staff. The ladies are all so nice. I would recommend him 100%.

The staff members are nice and respectful. Dr Shortt is very knowledgeable, polite and works with your need as a patient. I got exactly what I needed done very well and I will recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone!

Dr Rodger Shortt and his staff are beyond incredible. Very friendly and attentive staff. I had my procedure (Tummy Tuck) done in November 2022 and I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr Shortt, his staff and his exceptional work. My results are beyond what I even expected and I cannot recommend him enough. His bedside manner is exceptional, he is so patient and truly truly cares about his patients. The pre-op and post-op nurses were all so reassuring, so caring and just all around amazing. I’ve had procedures done in the past at other clinics and the care that I had here from the nurses, anesthesiologist and Dr Shortt himself has been top-notch. His assistant Joanne was a pleasure to work with as well, so kind and had great turn around to all my emails and questions. Everything went so smoothly, my consult to my prep, to the actual surgery, and to my post-op care. They made sure I had all the information needed for a smooth procedure. My results speak for themselves and by following his post-op care, every week just gets better and better. He has an eye for aesthetics and he is SO good at what he does. Both my belly button and tummy tuck look incredible! Thank you again to all the staff at Briarwood Cosmetics and to Dr Shortt himself!! I am so confident with my new body and am beyond happy with the whole process of my procedure from start (consult) to finish (post-op care). I highly recommend Dr Shortt and would give him 10000 stars if I could!!

I am eternally grateful to Dr. Shortt and everyone on his team, including the surgical team and the staff at Georgetown hospital. My results are better than imagined and everyone took good care of me.

I have had 2 breast surgeries prior, that were expensive and also great surgeons, so I can tell you, that this experience was much better.

Backstory:

I started to develop a lot of pain in my breast implants after 8 years of having them, so bad that sometimes it would wake me up at night and I could no longer lay on my stomach at all. Constant shoulder, neck and back pain that just would not go away. I researched doctors for two years.

The first surgeon I went for a consultation, told me I would need an explant, lift, fat transfer and liposuction on my stomach and underarms. They said that otherwise, they would look deflated and sagging and that I would have a “fat pouch” under my arms from the lift. Complete BS and I almost believed it.

Consultation:

When I went to Dr. Shortt, he gave me a completely different consultation. He said that I have plenty of breast tissue/fat, that I should not under any circumstance get a lift, because then the nipples would be set too high. Never criticized my other body parts like the first surgeon. Even though I was still a bit skeptical, I just had a good feeling about it and went with it.

AND: my surgery was covered by OHIP.

Georgetown Hospital:

Everyone was great, the nurses took good care of me!

Results:

Today I am 4 weeks post!

We did an explant with one incision at the fold (no lift, no capsulectomy) and I am shocked by how good my boobs look. They look better than ever and my scars are healing slightly differently from before as well. Previously I thought that my skin just did not scar well, but now they are light and thin and hidden in the breast fold – AMAZING! Dr.Shortt was completely right in his assessment. I might have went down one cup size (D to a C?), but they look round and perky, actually shapelier than with implants.

Bottom line: I highly recommend Dr. Shortt, he is honest, professional, truly knowledgable and skilled.

I will start this review off by saying that this has been one of the best experiences with plastic surgery of my life.

Dr Rodger Shortt is absolutely incredible. His personality, bed side manner, his honesty, his staff, his work on you, if I can give all of that over 100 stars I would.

I’ve struggled with loose skin on my belly for quite some time. I lost a lot of weight when I was younger (around highschool). I competed in fitness competitions. And then years later I had two baby’s. Extreme dieting and weight fluctuations with two pregnancies caused loose skin on my belly that I was not happy with. I tried everything until I realized I need to see a plastic surgeon for this! I saw more than one and Dr Shortt was the last consult I had before I made a decision. I walked out of the consult and I knew he was the one. I booked my surgery a few days later. I was so confident in having my procedure done by him.

At my consult he listened to everything I had to say. He was so incredibly patient. Offered his honest advice, took me through a whole PowerPoint explaining EVERYTHING. He made me feel so comfortable. He tells you EXACTLY what to expect. No beating around the bush! For me, before I walked out of there I wanted to throw my wallet at him. Let’s do this now!!!! Lol! His bedside manner, was being anything I can even explain. Is he even real? Yes he is real. I remember I walked in on the day of my procedure, at 7am. It was still dark out – i was fasting (so no coffee either) and he walked in with the biggest smile on his face and made me laugh the entire time while he was making his markings. Everything about him and his way makes you feel so comfortable and confident to be in his care!

His staff while in the operating room:
They were amazing! All of them. The nurses were so calming. Doing their job to get me ready but also making sure I’m good! One nurse even held my hand while the anesthesiologist was about to administer the anesthesia. That meant the world to me! It really calmed me down. The anesthesiologist was also so great. Answered all my questions and I truly felt so comfortable and confident being in their care.

Joanne, Dr Shortts assistant. Is a DOLL!! Best assistant out there. So kind and caring. Got back to me so promptly. Made sure to provide me with everything I needed to know before my big day. Before and after my procedure, she has just been a gem to work with.

The results: I will update this review with pictures for better reference. At the end of the day – the results are what people are looking for when you book these surgeries. I am now 3 months post op and I couldn’t be happier with my AMAZING results. The new confidence I have is just beyond what I even thought I was going to feel after recovering. My belly button looks amazing. I was worried about that the most but Dr Shortt assured me that he takes his time on the belly button to ensure a beautiful belly button! And let me tell you, he delivered! My tummy tuck scar is so low and the incision is nice and thin and with his post-op guidance that I’m following it’s only getting better and better as each week passes.

If you are on the fence about any procedure and you’re in the process of finding a doctor, I highly highly highly recommend visiting Dr Rodger Shortt. Let this review of him, his beautiful facility, amazing work and amazing staff be your first step to your journey. Book that appointment and speak with Dr Shortt. I guarantee that any consult with this man will prove to you that he is as amazing as I have explained here. Because for me, from that first meeting with him – was enough for me to know that he was the one for me! That’s is how confident I am in this doctors work and everything else that comes with doing a procedure!

Thank you once again Dr Rodger Shortt and to all your amazing staff.

I just had a breast reduction done by Dr. Shortt. Before my surgery I was 36DD and I am only 56 kg so it was extremly big and heavy and uncomfortable and I hated them.
Dr Shortt had a long waiting time due to covid restrictions but it was just worth the wait.
He explained every step about the surgery, he answered all my questions, he is veey proffesional and friendly at the same time.
After my surgery he has seen me 3 times for post op check up and my experience with him and his team is just wonderfull and also I love my new breasts, not that they are not that heavy amymore, but also my selfesteem has improved bcs my new breast look very good 🙂
I strongly recomend Dr Short for breast surgery.
Thank you very much Dr. Shortt

Wonderful experience with the Briarwood Cosmetic Surgical Centre in Oakville! Dr. Rodger Shortt was a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, post operative care and follow-up. I am so glad I chose the Briarwood Cosmetic Surgical Centre and had a great experience as a first timer for cosmetic surgery. Dr. Shortt listened to me patiently & gave me sufficient time to ask all my questions. He has an artistic eye for aesthetics and I got the most natural results for my eyelid surgery. The operation itself was pain free and very professionally conducted by Dr. Shortt and the theatre staff who all made me feel completely at ease and prepared for the experience. Even though some might consider the cost of “eyelid” surgery to be prohibitive I think it is well worth paying for because what Dr. Shortt did for me was absolutely priceless and I am extremely grateful.  Dr. Shortt gave me my confidence back and my vision is no longer impeded by heavy eyelids. Thank you so much!

Amazing! I met Dr Shortt a few weeks back to have a lipoma in my neck removed. Even though it was a simple procedure he was very thorough, walked me through the whole thing, and executed everything perfectly. He was very down to earth and very professional, and in my case very patience with all my questions. Dr Shortt made the whole process very easy. Nothing but good things to say about him. Not just him but the entire office, every one of the staff I met was great. You are literally in good hands with him.

I am so pleased with my surgery and the results. Dr. Shortt is a very nice, professional, thorough and skillful surgeon. His staff are very helpful and efficient. This was a positive experience from start to finish.

Dr. Shortt did an amazing job with my tummy tuck. The procedure was worth every penny. I am so happy with my results and my belly button is perfect! My confidence has gone through the roof. My recovery was exactly as explained and was fairly quick and painless. Everyone in the office was incredibly pleasant, professional and amazing. Special thanks to his assistant! He didn’t only change my body, he literally changed my life and lifestyle for the better. I am so happy I found Dr. Shortt…did I mention he’s funny?

From the beginning of the process, Dr. Shortt was very professional and skilled. He put me at ease and answered all my questions. His team, Joanne, were very attentive and responded to all my questions in a timely manner. The surgery itself was very smooth with no complications. The recovery was exactly as he explained, and the scars healed beautifully. I highly recommend Dr. Shortt and his team!

Dr Shortt removed a rather large lipoma from my head. My experience was extremely positive as he did an exceptional job , his attention to detail was impressive so much so that he used an existing scar to preform the procedure to ensure the final results would exceed my expectations. Once the procedure was completed I had virtually no swelling and very little to no pain. Couldn’t be happier with the results

Dr. Shortt is really great. Friendly, attentive, professional. He’s got a great sense of humour too. I love the results of my tummy tuck. He did an amazing job. Thank you Dr. Shortt

I am so very thankful to Dr Shortt for performing an OHIP covered breast reduction in April due to neck/shoulder pain. He was very patient, answered all my questions, and showed that he cared. My scars healed amazingly and the overall look is very natural. Even though this was a surgery to reduce pain, my confidence has also been boosted. Thank you so much Dr Shortt.

I’ve met with many doctors and I must say that the overall experience with Dr.Shortt and his staff was by far the best. If you are considering any type of plastic surgery, I would highly recommend! I am absolutely thrilled with my results!

I couldn’t be happier with the results of my breast reduction. Dr Shortt and the staff were amazing. I recommend Dr Shortt to anyone that asks about my experience

After my single mastectomy surgery, I was left with a scar that slashed across and scooped out my chest; you could see my beating heart just under the thin layer of flesh. Dr. Shortt suggested a DIEP flap surgery that would, essentially, build a breast out of my own body fat and blood vessels. The surgery would be invasive and require the healing of two surgery sites; so I was reluctant. Dr. Shortt was patient and took the time to answer all my questions, to describe the process and healing time, and to allow me time to consider everything. He never pushed. He did an excellent job and I’m so happy to have cleavage again! Dr. Shortt is kind, patient, and extremely good at what he does!

I had breast augmentation surgery in April 2022, replacement implants. I am thrilled with the results! Dr.Shortt is very genuine in his approach, his honesty and transparent advice was very comforting and he puts you very much at ease. He listens and has your best interest in mind. His staff is very professional and ensure a safe environment at each stage of the procedure. I highly recommend this surgeon! He is excellent.

Dr. Shortt and his staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. If you’re looking for a good experience and excellent results look no further!

Dr. Short is very knowledgeable, I went in for a procedure and was very happy with the results!

I highly recommend Dr. Shortt. He is a very skilled surgeon and very kind. He and his staff are great and very helpful and supportive. Dr. Shortt did my abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and I loved the results. Overall, I had a great experience.

Dr Shortt is amazing at what he does. Not only does it try is hardest to get the most perfect results for you and your body, he as the best bedside manners for a doctor. I felt cared for the whole way thought and was thrilled with my results. I wasn’t a easy fix after 187 lbs lost and what he was able to achieve was nothing short then amazing. If you looking for someone who is passionate about his work and cares about his patients Dr Shortt is the Doctor for you.

Dr Shortt is both a skilled plastic surgeon and one of the kindest and most empathetic doctors I’ve ever met. I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck and I love the results. Other medical professionals who have seen it are always complimenting it. I’m incredibly happy with the results and would recommend him to anyone.

My husband referred me to Dr. Shortt after his amazing experience. I couldn’t agree with him more.

Dr. Shortt is a skilled surgeon and a wonderful doctor.

His bedside manner is impeccable. He took time to explain the procedure clearly, which helped me reduce my anxiety about the procedure. He answered all my questions patiently and clearly. On the surgery day, I was quite nervous. Dr. Shortt was warm and kind. He also used his sense of humour to ease my mind.

He is humble. He didn’t exaggerate the outcome and I was happily surprised. He is thorough. He was willing to go that extra mile to ensure the safety of his patients.

His assistant, Joanne, is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is warm and friendly on the phone and in person. The friendly conversations went a long way to help me feel comfortable and safe.

I would recommend Dr. Shortt and his team to anyone without reservation.

Dr. Shortt performed my reconstruction after a bilateral mastectomy and I could not be happier! After a BRCA2 diagnosis, Dr. Shortt quickly put me at ease with his compassionate expertise and friendly sense of humour. His staff are absolutely wonderful and I could not have had a better experience and recovery. Thank you Dr. Shortt!

I did a procedure with Dr. Shortt and his staff from start to finish were super fantastic from booking to post-op. Dr. Shortt answered all of my questions and concerns and was very patient with me as I had not undergone a major surgery before. He was so kind and so helpful but his SKILL AND SURGICAL EXPERTISE was super fantastic. I’m over- the -moon happy with my results. Dr. Shortt is an EXCELLENT surgeon and I would recommend him HIGHLY to anyone considering surgery with this Dr. Thank you Dr. Shortt.

I couldn’t be happier with the result of my breast reduction. Dr Shortt and the staff were amazing! Any anxiety was easily relieved after the initial consult. I have recommended him to a few of my friends.

I had a breast lift with implants last year and am extremely happy with the results. My case was a bit more complicated as I had asymmetry issues as well. Dr. Shortt took the time to explain everything in detail. I was not rushed or pressured at all. Overall, couldn’t be happier. Definitely the doctor with waiting for!

I had breast augmentation surgery in April 2022, replacement implants. I am thrilled with the results! Dr.Shortt is very genuine in his approach, his honesty and transparent advice was very comforting and he puts you very much at ease. He listens and has your best interest in mind. His staff is very kind and professional and ensure a safe environment at each stage of the procedure. I highly recommend this surgeon! He is excellent.

I had revision surgery with Dr Shortt in October 2021. I am beyond happy with the results. He is a skilled surgeon who goes above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible and with quality genuine care. I would highly recommend this doctor!

Dr Shortt transformed me. He genuinely cares for his patients and offers sound advice. I would highly recommend him to any woman looking for a mommy makeover.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing a single mastectomy on one side and then requiring a mastectomy on the opposite side I underwent breast reconstruction with Dr. Shortt two months ago. The surgery and recovery have been effortless, and it is all due to him. Dr. Shortt is honest, passionate about what he does, professional and his attention to detail and care for his patients is like no other surgeon I have dealt with during my experience. I finally feel like I can begin my life again and it is all due to the care of Dr. Shortt. I am forever grateful to him.

Dr Shortt is honest, knowledgeable and most importantly skilled at what he does. I had seen several surgeons prior to selecting Dr Shortt and knew immediately I had found the best one for my revision surgery. 5 + stars! Staff was also great.

Dr. Shortt and his staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. If you’re looking for a good experience and excellent results look no further!

I had a mommy makeover done by Dr. Shortt, I knew he was the right doctor for me since our first encounter. He is honest and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. He takes great care to ensure that his clients are comfortable, he takes the time to listen and discusses pros and cons in great detail. The fact that his staff is also amazing is icing on the cake. Dr. Shortt is meticulous and shows great attention to detail. 2 weeks post-op and recovery are going great. Dr. Shortt, thank you. You are the BEST!!!

For years, I have been dealing with neck and shoulder pain due to large breasts. I knew of Dr. Shortt and I have heard nothing but good things. After my consultation appointment, I knew that I was going to be happy with my decision to have breast reduction surgery. Dr. Shortt and his staff are the best. He is professional and attentive to details. Just 1 day post surgery, I could feel the difference in my neck and shoulders. It has been 5 months now, and I am so very happy with my results. For anyone considering breast reduction/lift, look no further as Dr. Shortt is the best!!

Dr. Shortt is absolutely amazing at what he does! I choose to be on a waitlist for a consultation because of the reviews he’s received and it was absolutely worth it! He did my breast reduction and if I had one concern, it was scarring. His technique is absolutely amazing! Right off the bat I knew that the scarring would be minimal because of how fine the stitching was and 8 weeks post op, I’ve never felt better in my body! The results are incredible! The scars are so thin that even if they never fade, I’ll be okay with it! Check ups with him are quick and timely and great for someone on the go! But he’s still available to answer my questions! Really happy I got the surgery but happier still that he was my surgeon!!

My experience with Dr. Short and his team was beyond my expectations. From my first consultation appointment to my last follow-up, I walked with absolute satisfaction and gratitude. Dr. Short’s professionalism, communication and care throughout my journey was excellent. I got breast reduction and tummy tuck done Dr. Short and I am beyond pleased with the procedure. Thank to Dr. Short and his team that I now not only physically look better, I emotionally feel great.

Dr. Shortt and his team is AMAZING.I walked in super nervous and they made me feel comfortable. From the very first nurse that met me to the nurse who walked me out. Every member of the team was kind and they made me laugh and that took away the anxiety I was experiencing. Dr. Shortt did an absolutely fabulous job on me (breast lift, fat grafting, tummy tuck, liposuction) it’s 2 days post op and I feel great. Thank you Dr. Shortt for all you do and the kindness you and your team showed to me.

I found Dr Roger Short through my therapist, one of her clients was willing to share his his information and experience.

I knew after my first visit that I found the right surgeon to address my problem of Body Dysphoria.
I’m a trans woman, I live as my true self the best I can, it’s hard when your body doesn’t fit how you feel or think about yourself.

I can’t say enough good things about Doctor Roger Shortt his office staff, from Joanne his receptionist coordinator to his medical director Cari or anyone else on his team, they are all so professional.

I had Liposuction and fat transfer to deal with my body dysphoria, I put all my trust in Doctor Shortt and I’m not disappointed that I did.

If you find yourself fortunate enough to have Dr Roger Shortt as your surgeon I can say that you’re in caring hands.

I had 3 fat transfer surgeries for breast cancer and am very pleased with the results. Dr. Shortt and his staff are very friendly, professional and helpful. Dr. Shortt thoroughly explained the procedure to me and I felt very comfortable with each surgery. He also removed my radiation tattoos with minimal scarring that have almost faded away completely. I highly recommend Dr. Shortt and his staff. After a terrible ordeal of going through breast cancer, I’m finally starting to feel like my old self again and am very appreciative of Dr. Shortt and his staff.

I had a breast reduction surgery in July with Dr.Shortt. It took me years to decide for the surgery as I am very specific about the doctor I choose and if I had to go through this major procedure it had to be the best Doctor. I had a smooth recovery and I can say it was less painful than my 2 C-sections. I am very pleased with the size and the shape of my breasts. This surgery changed my whole posture for the better. I enjoy my life much more now and I wish I had done this years before. Dr. Shortt is a thoughtful, caring doctor that you can trust.

I have been in surgery a few times with him and to see him multiple times for checkups as i have a progressive hand disease he has always made me very comfortable and relaxed, he also wont lie to you and tell you he can do better then he can do, he will tell you what you need to hear not what you want to hear he is an amazing surgeon i would recommend him to anyone who gets a chance to meet this miracle worker

I had a breast lift with a tummy tuck and he is amazing! I would recommend him to anyone. My results are incredible and he and his entire staff were kind, empathetic….. I couldn’t have asked for more. Definitely there is a reason he’s rated #1.

I recently sustained a serious finger injury and was attended to by Dr. Shortt.

His friendly, yet professional manner together with the care, attention and follow up were all excellent.

My finger has healed well and I am thankful to Dr. Shortt’s for all his care and assistance.

I underwent breast reduction surgery 2 months ago with Dr.Shortt. There are no words to describe how grateful I am. Dr. Shortt is an amazing surgeon. I scoured the internet reading reviews trying to find the perfect doctor for me and without a doubt I knew Dr. Shortt was the surgeon I wanted and needed! From my first initial consultation to my last check up appt, he has been extremely attentive and caring and answered any questions or concerns I may have had. From the moment I met Dr. Shortt and staff I felt comfortable and knew I was in great hands. Although there may be a long waiting list, I can assure you Dr. Shortt is 1000% worth the wait. This was by far the best decision I have ever made and I will forever be grateful for what Dr. Shortt has done for me. Having this surgery has changed my quality of life tremendously. If you are considering breast reduction surgery or any procedure with Dr. Shortt, I would say go for it! You will never look back!! I highly recommend Dr. Shortt and will return to him if I ever need any procedures in the future.

I couldn’t say enough positive things about Dr Rodger Shortt and his office staff members, Joanne his coordinator and receptionist is prompt with responding to my email questions or concerns .

Dr Shortt’s medical assistant Cari makes sure that you’re healthy enough for surgery, that’s reassuring if you have any anxiety about surgery knowing that everything has been checked .

I was so grateful when I found Dr Shortt, as a transgender woman finding the right surgeon is not always easy.

I have been dealing with Body dysphoria Dr Shortt addressed all my needs and spent time explaining what he thought would help me reach my goals, he preformed Liposuction and fat transfer.

I’m so pleased with my results, he’s a caring professional and trustworthy.

If you find that your a client of Dr Shortt’s you wont be disappointed.

I had a procedure done by Dr Shortt this past summer and couldn’t be happier with the results. When I was six months old I had an unfortunate reaction to vaccines which left horrible ugly concave scars on both my thighs. Dr Shortt was able to completely change the look of my thighs and I now feel comfortable wearing shorts which is a first for me! Dr Shortt was helped me feel so much more confident and I’ll be forever thankful! I would absolutely recommend Dr Shortt to anyone looking to get any procedures done.

I was referred to Dr. Shortt by my surgeon, he was going to be the doctor to put me back together after my bilateral mastectomy. Being diagnosed with breast cancer at 38 was terrifying but Dr.Callan (my surgeon) and Dr. Shortt made me feel confident in my decision to remove both breasts because I was going to wake up with new ones, I did and they look great! Better then I could have ever imagined. Not only did he do incredible work but he made me feel so comfortable and confident that this was going to all work out. I went into his office for my first appointment shaking and crying and left feeling so much calmer and ready for this surgery. He really takes the time to listen to you, I always felt like I was talking to a friend with him. I am forever grateful that he was a part of my team.

It is with absolute confidence that I recommend Dr. Shortt and his team. I made a life-changing decision to have abdominoplasty and form the initial consultation to the last follow-up visit, my experience and results have surpassed my extremely high expectations. Dr. Shorrt is professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to truly listen to my concerns and his compassion and bedside manner were exactly what you want in your health care provider. This decision is a major one and you want to ensure your surgeon is the right one. Dr. Shorrt is the right one. Dr. Shortt has given my confidence back. There are no words to express my gratitude and appreciation.

My daughter had otoplasty done by Dr. Shortt and she was very very happy with the results. Dr. Shortt and Joanne were wonderful to deal with and I would definitely recommend him as he did a great job. Thank you again.

Dr Shortt is absolutely amazing! I had a breast reduction , tummy tuck and liposuction. Not only are the results incredible, he made me feel so comfortable each step of the way. His entire staff (Joanne his assistant is just a great) are all so kind and helpful. So not only an amazing plastic surgeon but great bedside manner. Would give 10 stars if they let me.

I feel extremely lucky to have met Dr. Shortt and blessed to be one of his patients. Dr. Shortt had a 3 year wait-list for a breast implant removal. In our consultation, I mentioned that if anyone cancels, I’d be available short notice. A few months later, I got that call from Joanne, (assistant) stating that a date was available! Dr.Shortt is literally the ONLY surgeon that gave me the time of day in these COVID times to go over an OHIP covered procedure. My GP made dozens of calls, and Dr. Shortt was the only one that accepted me as a patient. He truly cares about people and even after one conversation, it was clear that he has an outstanding moral compass. My Mentor saline implants were under the muscle, 17 years old and causing me problems. I opted to get an implant removal, no lift. I am 7 days post opp and I can’t believe how good I feel and how much better I look. Pics to come. Thank you Dr. Shortt and Joanne, you changed my life.

I can only say good things about my experience having a mommy makeover, from the consultations where all my questions were addressed, to the surgery and follow up post op. Dr. Shortt is an excellent surgeon, meticulous in his assessment and surgical work and an approachable caring clinician. His front line staff, surgical nurses and recovery room nurses are top notch. He exceeded my expectations, creating natural looking breasts and abdominal area, which I am extremely happy with… Being in my 50’s and having had children and abdominal surgery, my goal was to be able to wear youthful clothes that I felt good in again and not be limited to clothes that hid my stomach. As a result, I am feeling better and more confident about myself and how I look. The clinic is beautiful and I always felt all precautions were in place during COVID. I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone needing or wanting plastic surgery. And don’t be discouraged by the wait time to get an appointment….he is worth the wait…and you may be seen earlier through a cancellation appointment.

I cannot express enough the praise and gratitude I feel towards Dr. Shortt and his entire staff . After having a consultation regarding my concerns in respect to my appearance i.e. sagging jowls , Turkey neck , volume loss , wrinkles etc we decided that a facelift would give the best results .

My surgery was scheduled for August 24, 2021 at 7 am. by Joanne Dr.Shortt’s P.A. who is so accommodating , a very sweet lady . I was met by Cari ( nurse) who was so friendly attentive and explained and administered the pre surgery procedures , Dr. Shortt came and once again took the time to once again go over his method of surgery , mapping out my face with the marker taking the before photo’s and generally put me at complete ease with his exceptional caring bedside manner , we also enjoyed some laughs which always takes the edge off of any anxieties one may be pre experiencing pre surgery . Dr. Shortt is an absolute master in his field of Cosmetic Surgery , I am delighted with the results , I have definition in the contours of my face again , I have volume in my cheeks and under my eyes , I look natural and refreshed , the exact results I had hoped for . I had literally no pain at all , a little discomfort of course which only lasted the first couple of days – I attribute this to Dr.Shortt’s exceptional skills and patience. Post surgery ( recovery) I was treated by Kim ( nurse ) who , like Cari was fantastic , constantly applying cold compresses to my face and making sure I was comfortable … truly grateful to have had the wonderful professional care from start to finish .

Today , Oct 7th, 2021 I had another surgical procedure by Dr. Shortt , called Nipple Inversion Correction , this was performed under local anesthesia which was fantastic , Dr. Shortt and I chatted and laughed throughout the procedure which again was painless , incredible really , however I feel it is Dr. Shortt’s skill and patience that makes this an easy painless procedure . I should add that initially when I had my consultation regarding my inverted nipples , Dr. Shortt suggested that I try a Nipple Corrector (Aspirator) as he said they often work and will save you the cost of Surgery , I did try this , for me, it did not work , I was so impressed that he wanted me to try the non surgical , low cost Aspirator rather than the surgery – it is testimony to his character , he truly cares for his patients in every aspect , surgical and financial.

I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone considering Cosmetic Surgery , he is an outstanding person , an absolute gem .

Dr. Roger Shortt was an incredible surgeon, he originally gave me implants and fat grafting for my tuberous breasts that had been a huge insecurity of mine. I was SO happy with them. Then, when the textured teardrop implants needed to come out he was incredibly supportive and had them switched out for smooth round ones right away. He knew which implants would best suit me while also listening to what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with my results and trusted him the entire way. Dr. Shortt really knows what he’s doing and him and his team made the process a very positive one! 10/10

I have never been more comfortable and excited wearing a shirt. My breast reduction was amazing with Dr Shortt from start to finish. Joanne is wonderful also. I would only recommend Dr shortt. Thank you for your outstanding job.

My breast reduction was the best thing Ever! Dr Shortt was amazing, upfront, professional, and caring. His staff especially Joanne were amazing always there to take a call and answer questions. I’m 3 months post and feel fantastic, I would highly recommend Dr Shortt

The absolute best! Amazing personality, skilled surgeon, wonderful and kind staff. A++

2 years later still so thrilled with my tummy tuck. I have never worn a bikini in my adult life. I have friend who have also had this procedure and Dr Shortt’s belly buttons are not comparable. No circle, fast recovery, top notch clinic.

Unbelievable staff and service. Almost 2 years later I am still thrilled with my tummy tuck. Honestly the best belly button reconstruction which may sound weird, but no one can tell nd there is no tell tale circle showing when I’m in a bikini.

My initial consult happened virtually due to COVID . Even on a digital platform Dr.Shortt listened attentively to my concerns, and gave an empathetic response . My procedure was certainly not “routine”. He preformed a mass elevation along my pubic line . His care , and sincerity of his staff are second to none . His bedside manor was refreshing . To say I’m pleased would be an understatement . He proposed a few options and advised what he felt would garner best results . This procedure has been empowered me beyond measure . I’ve struggled with this issue from a tender age , and it became increasingly more difficult to manage as I aged . I travelled 1 hr for office visits and 1.5 for surgery , time well invested . I would ever consider anyone else . With sincerest gratitude ! M

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

It has now been almost 5 months since my lower eyelid surgery performed by Dr. Shortt and his amazing team. I could not be happier with the outcome.

My journey to this point started over 2 years ago. As I have aged my lower eyelids began to become more and more pronounced. While on conference calls or taking pictures I tried to get an angle that would hide the issue. It began to bother me more and more every year. My initial discussion with Dr. Shortt was via video conference due to covid. He was polite, professional and confident. I wanted to say yes on the spot, but felt it was best to research the procedure and Dr. Shortt over a 6 month period. Dr. Shortt’s lovely receptionist was so nice to deal with when setting up the first face-to-face meeting. By the end of that meeting I had the surgery date scheduled for a few months down the road.

All the pre-surgery information was provided to me well in advance, which I followed to the letter. The day of the surgery went very smooth. Dr. Shortt planned on 1 hour for the surgery but spent 2 hours to ensure my specific request was ultimately met. The surgery started around 3:30 and I was able to leave around 8:00 once I was fully awake.

I was asked by the discharge nurse to add a cold compress to my face for the rest of the evening which I followed for the next 4-6 hours. The first night at home was tough. I was so worried about ripping out my stitches that I only cat napped for 30-40 mins at a time. For the next 7 days while the stitches were in I was able to get more and more sleep just being very careful. I had some very powerful pain medication but honestly I did not have to use them for the entire 3 month recovery period. Actually I felt no pain at all post surgery. I attribute this to Dr. Shortt’s skill and the advice of the discharge nurse.

During the recovery period my left eye never gave me cause for concern. However, my right eye did have more swelling and chemosis that came and went over the next 8 weeks. Dr. Shortt was very good about bringing me back on a weekly and Bi-weekly basis to examine the eye and ensure the eye was improving.

I must admit I did have a serious scare around the 6 week mark as my right eye started to swell on the bottom and right side. Once Dr. Shortt was made aware he asked me to come back first thing the next day. I was terrified but Dr. Shortt calmly explain the healing process, provided me some stretching technique and asked me to be patient. I listened and following his instructions and over the coming 2-3 weeks the eye started to relax and the swelling diminished. Fast forward 2 months, my right eye is as good as the left eye. Both eyes have settled down and I look and feel normal. There is only a little tension on the periphery of the eye, which is normal and will fully settle down within the next year.

Dr. Shortt and the entire team at the clinic were incredibly professional to deal with through the entire 3-4 month recovery process.

When you are young most people never think that they will need this type of procedure done. Then life and age hits and your opinion charges drastically. It is truly amazing what surgeons can do and I for one am very grateful that Dr. Shortt was willing and able to help me.

I would recommend Dr. Shortt and his amazing team to anyone. Listen to their guidance, fully explain your desired outcome and I believe you can also a positive experience as well.

Thank-you again Dr. Shortt and thank-you to your amazing team; a very positive experience and outcome.

Cheers,

Professional. Pays attention to detail. He performed a breast reduction and I am absolutely obsessed. It has changed my life, from relieving pain to boosting confidence. I felt calm and confident with him and his work. He is absolutely the best. No need to look any further.

My BA turned out better than I could have ever expected! From my first consult 6 years ago, to my surgery in March 2021, Dr. Shortt made it clear that he was listening carefully to what I wanted: larger, fuller breasts that look completely natural. I’m 3 months post-op and they look stunning. Better than I could have hoped for. Somehow Dr. Shortt knew exactly what size implant would be best. His bedside manner is on point, and he’s an all around great Doctor. I never felt rushed, he always took the time to make me feel comfortable, and listen to what I had to say. If you want beautiful, natural looking results, Dr. Shortt is your surgeon! Seriously talented, an absolute boob genius! Thank you Dr. Shortt, your work changed my life, and gave me the confidence I always dreamed of.

I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Shortt and his staff. After overcoming breast cancer and a bilateral mastectomy the idea of any type of surgery is daunting. I was full of fear, anxiety and uncertainty. However, Dr. Shortt always took the time to explain procedures and guide me, helping me make the decisions that were right for me. Prior to surgery; during an anxious moment; he took the time to just sit, chat and even managed to make me laugh. His compassion comes from a deep understanding of families effected by breast cancer. I couldn’t image taking this journey with any other doctor. I am forever thankful.

Dr. Shortt performed my lower eye blepharoplasty in February, 2021. While I am still in my 40s, I’ve had this condition for most of my life and finally decided to get it fixed. I could not be more thrilled with the results. Dr. Shortt is quite modest and did not encourage me to do the surgery so I ended up delaying it for almost 2 years but I am so glad I got it done this year. Dr. Shortt is extremely meticulous and takes great care and pride in his work. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone interested in facial plastic surgery.

I could not recommend Dr. Shortt more highly. He performed my lower eye blepharoplasty in February, 2021 and I could not be more thrilled with the results! He isn’t much of a salesman and didn’t encourage me to do this surgery but once I made the decision to go through with it, everything went very smoothly and I got amazing results. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone interested in plastic surgery.

I had a few moles removed from my face by Dr. Shortt. The results are absolutely amazing. It was painless and it looks like they were never there. Excellent service and follow ups. Dr. Shortt is very professional and did an amazing job on removing my moles. Highly recommended .

After having my implants removed by another PS, I waited a year to find the right surgeon who was not only skilled in Fat Transfer to the Breast, but also had experience helping women restore the shape of their breasts after previous surgery. After meeting with Dr. Shortt it was clear that he was the surgeon I had been looking for. He took the time to educate me on what to expect with Fat Transfer and how it could help to get the results I was looking for. I was very pleased with the entire process and happy with my results. Thank you Dr. Shortt!

Wow. Dr. Shortt actually changed my life with one surgery. I’m baffled that my results are precisely what I wanted, and I could never have explained my wishes with this much detail. He listens. He asks tons of questions. He’s honest and upfront about what he can and can’t do. I wish I had done this 15 years ago, but I’m going to enjoy these results for the rest of my life. Above all else he is kind, gentle, and has a real knack for making you feel very comfortable. Great sense of humour too! I can’t thank Dr. Shortt enough. He gave me breasts that dreams are made of.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Shortt. Although my surgery was not a simple one, not once did Dr. Shortt give me a chance to feel any sort of discomfort. His work was beyond exceptional. His excellence makes it look like no surgery even took place. I have no words to emphasize his outstanding work enough.

If you are looking for a doctor to do your tummy tuck, look no further! Dr. Shortt is the doctor to go to. I had such an excellent experience with Dr. Shortt. He is so professional and so highly skilled but also so friendly and personable. His staff are also great – friendly and efficient. Dr. Shortt has very high standards and will ensure that you are happy with the outcome. My only regret is not having this done years ago. Thank you, Dr. Shortt!

I am extremely pleased to share my experience and results of my lower lid surgery. Dr. Shortt and his staff were very courteous professional and competent. From first consultation to procedure and subsequent follow ups, I was treated with the utmost care and professionalism. Dr Short was very informative and supportive and his manner put me totally at ease. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I am looking forward to having my upper lids done with Dr. Shortt.

Dr. Shortt is an excellent surgeon. He is the boob expert. Makes awesome boobs. I had back pain and got OHIP for Reduction but added the liposuction to armpit are just to be sure. Still looks the same in armpits but the boobs are awesome. This was a super easy surgery, if you have any doubts go for it. Totally worth it.

In terms of pain I was on zero drugs, just tylenol for first few days, ita totally manageable. Was working from home on day 6po. From BBL, TT and liposuction, this surgery is a piece of cake.

Dr. Shortt is funny and very personable and we always had some good laughs. My only complaint is that there was no cell phone directly to contact doctors for after care, had to go through the office which sometimes takes time to get answers. Gone, if there is nothing wrong, but that is the only thing I didn’t like. The other surgery I had, after always had direct contact to doctors for after hours question. Not to be abused of course, but in recovery is nice to have.

Dr. Shortt did an excellent job. I love my shape and size. Probably would have been fine a little smaller, but its significantly better and I’m happy. I guess its better if it’s a conservative Reduction cause if it’s too small it might look weird.

Anyway, highly recommend this amazing doctor. He is a boob god.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rodger Shortt, FRCSC!!! After years of self research and following my intuition, I was guided and crossed paths with one of the most genuine, honest surgeons I know, who has exceeded above and beyond in his field of expertise.

Thank-you personally for being authentically you and for everything you’ve done for me and other patients.

An extra big thanks to all the AMAZING STAFF and EXTRA HELPING HANDS from Clinic to Hospital who made it all possible!

Dr.Shortt is nothing “short” of amazing! 🙂

I honestly cannot say enough good things about him! He is respectful, honest, professional and makes you feel completely comfortable always. His expertise and knowledge is undeniable. From my first consultation to my final post-op appointment my mind was put at ease knowing I was in his care.

Thank you SO much Dr.Shortt. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I had the textured shaped implants put in by Dr Shortt with breast fat transfer to cover my extremely prominent ribs and an indent in my chest. The results from the fat transfer are spectacular, and you could never tell I had such a bony chest!

When the information came out about recalls, Dr Shortt happily accommodated me and we changed the implants to smooth round implants. He wasn’t defensive at all. He just wanted the best for his patient and got me in quickly! My results are amazing I’m shocked at what a transformation I have been through! I no longer avoid wearing deep necklines, and the results are so natural. When I tell people I have implants they are in disbelief!

I was so happy with his work that I felt confident enough to get fillers and Botox at his clinic also. Jenny is so knowledgeable and kind! Nobody at this clinic tries to sell you on procedures or tries to get you to use more filler/Botox to increase their profits. They truly just want you to have the best results and it is always natural!

From those at the front desk like Joanne, to the nurses like Jenny, and of course the INCREDIBLE Dr Shortt, the standard for excellence is clear. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. I never imagined having any work done, and am so relieved to have found a team who are truly caring.

He doesn’t work on your and then abandon you! He genuinely seems to care about your happiness and results. I recommend them to everyone and will continue to support them with my business.

Dr.Shortt and his staff are amazing! Not only are they the kindest people, they do amazing work. Dr.Shortt did my tummy tuck and breast lift and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my results! He’s truly gifted at his craft!! He has amazing bed-side manner and makes you feel at ease and answers any questions or concerns you may have. He’s also quite funny and you can tell he loves his job and the people in his care. He literally gave me my life back!! I’m so grateful for Dr. Shortt and his team. My only regret was not finding him sooner lol. I will definitely be back!

I had an amazing experience with Dr.Shortt and his team. He did a tummy tuck with muscle repair and breast lift. I’m beyond thrilled with my results! He has amazing bed-side manner; always making you laugh, feel at ease and he’s patient and thorough to answer all your questions and concerns. He does incredible work and it was a pleasure to be his patient. I will definitely go back. He changed my life and I couldn’t be happier!

My experience was 5 star from the initial consultation where every question I had prepared was answered without my asking to my final results which I couldn’t be happier with. Dr. Shortt’s gentle, kind and honest approach was so appreciated. I had a breast augmentation after nursing two children. It was, at the time a difficult decision however in the end I was/am incredibly happy with my decision. I feel more like myself now and I can attribute that to the natural and beautiful results I now have.

From the moment I meet Dr. Shortt, I felt completely at ease. He is an extremely approachable person, which made my whole experience from beginning to end all the more comfortable. Dr. Shortt’s office staff were also wonderful as well, always friendly from moment I walked in the door and would return calls quickly. The procedure I had was a breast reduction and I am so happy with my results, as they are more than I could have asked for!! I finally feel like myself. 🙂 Dr. Shortt has truly changed my life for the better and I will be forever grateful for his skillful talents. I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt.

Dr. Shortt is highly knowledgeable, talented and truly cares for his patients. He has carefully listened to, and answered all of my questions, every step of the way. In my opinion, the care that you receive after surgery is some of the most important. Dr. Shortt has continually supported me and has gone above and beyond to give me the best results possible. After having twins, Dr. Shortt has managed to help me feel like my “old self” again! Thank you to Dr. Shortt and his team for such amazing care!

Beautiful results! Excellent care! I am writing this review to give my highest recommendation to Dr. Rodger Shortt and his team. Dr Shortt is a skilled, knowledgeable, professional and caring doctor. I felt well cared for throughout the whole process. I did a LOT of research to select my doctor for breast augmentation surgery. My health is of the utmost importance to me and if I was going to do this I wanted to be in capable caring hands and be assured of good results. There were doctors geographically closer, I drove almost 2 hours each way for my appointment but it was worth it. The results are exactly what I was looking for. A full beautiful and NATURAL look. I feel comfortable and confident. It’s amazing how great they feel and I feel! I wish I had done it sooner. The care and attention I received was professional and warm and I knew and felt that my health and care was a priority with Dr. Shortt. All the staff are amazing and I am grateful for their good care. Do not hesitate to book with Dr. Shortt and trust that he is worth the wait if you can’t get in immediately. You are worth the best and he and his team are the best!

Dr.Shortt is nothing “short” of amazing! 🙂 I honestly cannot say enough good things about him! He is respectful, honest, professional and makes you feel completely comfortable always. His expertise and knowledge is undeniable. From my first consultation to my final post-op appointment my mind was put at ease knowing I was in his care. Thank you SO much Dr.Shortt. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Also my results are incredible! Couldnt be happier and they’re better than I could’ve ever expected!

I went to Dr Shortt to have an abdominoplasty to remove excess skin, 15 years after I lost 125lbs. From start to finish, Dr Shortt and the entire staff were patient, informative, and engaging. Pre-surgery consultations were very relaxed and as detailed as I wanted (both Dr Shortt and his staff were very happy to answer ALL the questions I had). The surgery itself was a breeze, and while recovery will likely vary for everyone, I felt that they prepared me well for what I should expect and I was able to take proactive steps to make myself as comfortable as possible. Post-surgery consultations were equally as pleasant, and 4 months later I feel great both physically and mentally. Wish I hadn’t waited so long to see Dr Shortt!

He was amazing I got a wonderful result of breast reduction he changed my life I feel more comfortable and more confidence God blessed ?? you dr Shortt . Thanks alot ??

Dr Shortt’s friendly and down-to-earth approach put me at ease to go ahead with my surgery. It was my first time doing any type of surgery and i was definitely nervous but after my first consultation, I was very comfortable making my decision because of his professionalism and genuity. Staff is great, all lovely and welcoming. No regrets!

Such a positive experience. Very friendly and professional and I am beyond please with my results! Had a breast reduction for relief of back and neck pain and it has made a huge difference. I also look better than I did before I had kids!

Even having surgery through the pandemic I felt very comfortable.
Recommend!

It has been three weeks since my extended tummy tuck. I did not expect such an amazing experience. When I was searching for plastic surgeons, something told me to just go for Dr.Shortt and not look elsewhere. I booked my consultation with him and knew within the first two seconds that I wanted him to be the one to change my life! With a 100 lb weightloss, I was so unhappy with what was left of my stomach. Dr Shortt was so patient, kind, informative, and made me feel beyond comfortable. He was always straight to the point, realistic, and his directions were always clear. I never left his office questioning the process, my results, and the entire experience that I had received. My results are better than I could have ever expected, and it’s only been 3 weeks. Everything looks so natural and my scar is barely visible. I am AMAZED at his work. His office is filled with amazing ladies. Joanne at the front desk is an absolute sweetheart and always makes me feel welcome. Even the anesthetist was great and made me feel so at ease up to the very second of me falling asleep. The recovery room nurse that I had after the surgery was phenomenal. She was so patient, kind, helpful, and encouraging. My entire experience has been absolutely wonderful and I would not change a single thing. Thank you Dr.Shortt and the entire team for changing my life! You have a very happy life time patient!

I had a double mastectomy at 36 due to breast cancer. Dr. Shortt helped me choose my breast implants and was very passionate and also a breath of fresh air and fun spirit during such a painful time of my life. There was an issue following one of the surgeries and Dr.Shortt ensured I got into another surgery within a day. The results are great considering what my skin went through. I highly recommend Dr. Shortt.

Dr Shortt is compassionate, knowledgeable and very professional. I had a couple of cosmetic surgeries with him and he always goes for the natural look. His staff are friendly and very welcoming! I highly recommend Dr Shortt.

Dr Shortt is amazing. He is kind, knowledgeable and very professional. His staff are also amazing. I always wanted to have breast augmentation but was always afraid to go ahead with the surgery because I did not want to have fake results. Dr Shortt was very patient and helped me choose the best implants for my body type. I had my surgery in June and could not be happier. I have very natural results. Dr Shortt is very talented.

I have been contemplating getting breast augmentation for a few years. I wasn’t confident until I went for a consultation with Dr Shortt. He recommended fat transfer, which not only made my breast symmetrical but reduced my huge love handles. I also got a areola reduction and a periareolar lift.

He took the time to listen and made me feel comfortable. He is the most humble human-being I have met. He is truly a remarkable surgeon. My recovery was quick and easy and I am extremely happy with my results. Thank you Dr. Shortt

I’ve never rated a doctor before, but Dr Shortt is incredible. He is kind and thoughtful, and so knowledgeable. I never feel rushed or as though I’m inconveniencing him with my multitude of questions! I never thought that I would get cosmetic surgery, but I am so happy and relieved that I chose Dr Shortt. He truly cares about his patients and I never feel as if he’s trying to sell me on any procedures. He does his job thoroughly, carefully, respectfully, and the appointments are actually very enjoyable! I look forward to being a longtime patient of this incredible doctor and human being!

At 3 years of age I had a vaccine put on my right butt cheek, back in Cuba , that vaccine got infected and my skin as result got attached to the hip bone, growing up it was a little embarrassing going to the beach wearing bikinis or any tight clothing because the hole in my butt will show tremendously , growing old it got worse because attached to the embarrassment it come pain when I seat for to long sleep on my right side anything that created any pressure,it was painful to me and very uncomfortable. Now THANKS TO DR SHORTT AND HIS AMAZING STAFF , I feel like a new me, he did a amazing job reconstructing my butt chest , HE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL and KNOWLEDGEABLE, HIS TEAM OF NURSES ARE AMAZING, VERY FRIENDLY! , it creates a very nice and comfortable atmosphere at the office and at the hospital, I will recommend him to anyone . I’m a completely happy patient.

I have had the pleasure of being Dr. Shortt’s patient for over a year now. He is a very patient, knowledgeable, extremely professional and caring surgeon. I had Breast Augmentation surgery in February 2019 and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From my pre- op appointments where he was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions and preparing me for the surgery, through to the actual surgery and recovery, him and his staff have made this a seamless and enjoyable experience. After a year I actually felt I wanted to increase the size of my breasts and went back to discuss this with Dr. Shortt. He made me feel completely comfortable with my decision to do so and explained that a revision surgery was much easier in terms of recovery then my first. I just had the revision surgery July 2, 2020 and I couldn’t be happier with not only my outcome but the ease of my revivers. This has truly been an extraordinary experience and I highly recommend Dr. Shortt if you are looking into a breast augmentation surgery. His staff is also very accommodating and pleasant, especially his assistant Joanne. They really do make you feel at home. I should also mention my boyfriend is extremely happy with my results as well! 😉

Dr. Shortt and his staff are the best! Very professional and friendly. I felt at ease throughout the process and could not be more happy with the results. He’s an excellent surgeon. Can not recommend him enough.

It has been a year since I had my breast reduction surgery. I am over the moon happy with the results. The process of healing was quick, and I was able to get back to work within 2 weeks. I was able to enjoy my summer and go swimming and I felt like, this is what I am supposed to look like in a bathing suit. Dr. Shortt is an excellent surgeon and has a kind bed side manner. He reassured me throughout the process and made me feel comfortable. His recommendations where bang on and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thank you Dr. Shortt

I had a tummy tuck December 2019. From my initial consultation to my three month post op appointment, Dr. Shortt and his staff were always helpful, pleasant and caring. I am over the moon with my results, it was the best decision I could make for myself. I chose Dr. Shortt after doing my homework on ratemds and the real self website. I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt if you are thinking about having cosmetic surgery.

After doing a lot of research on plastic surgeons in my area I chose to book a consultation with Dr. Shortt in the fall of 2019. He took a lot of time to explain the procedure in detail and answered all of my questions. I felt confident with Dr. Shortt and booked my surgery for December.

My pre op with Cari was easy, she was thorough and patient with my concerns.

I started getting really nervous a few days before my surgery and was super nervous the day of. Was I making the right choice, what happened if something went wrong? I went in to the clinic and all of the staff put me at ease. I met with Cari, my anesthesiologist and finally Dr. Shortt before my surgery with any last minute questions and concerns. My surgery was three hours long, went well and I was home that night recovering.

I really never had any pain and never required the pain meds. For me, I felt better walking around (bent over) rather than being in bed. By day 4, I was able to go with my daughter and get some groceries.

All of my post op appointments went well and I am lucky that I was able to recover really quickly. My results are beyond my expectations and 4 months post op, I feel like they will keep getting better. Dr. Shortt did an amazing job with sculpting my tummy and my belly button looks really natural.

Having this procedure done was the best decision I could have made for myself and I am grateful to Dr. Shortt for making it happen. Anyone who is considering having a tummy tuck, do your research and you won’t be disappointed.

I recommend and absolutely love my results with Dr Shortt. He made me feel very comfortable with the first consultation. He was very knowledgeable, understanding, calmed my nerves about the procedure and helped me every step of my healing process. My breast reduction surgery was such a transformation of my entire body and i will be forever grateful that he has changed my life for the better. I would recommend him as well as his team for great service, results and knowledge in this industry. Thank you Dr. Shortt!

From the moment I met Dr. Shortt I knew I was in excellent hands. His personality and empathy for my situation put me immediately at ease in having the confidence I needed to finally gift myself with the fix to my stomach I had dreamt of for so long. That said, results matter and this is where I will be forever grateful for the skills Rodger brought to the operating room that day. I tried hard going in to have reasonable expectations, knowing I may not be perfect in the end but surely would be better than before, I still can’t quite put into words my transformation. I still find it hard to think about for to long without becoming emotional because I feel as though I was released from a prison that day that I’d been living in for more than two decades. I hadn’t realized the enormity of the negativity I’d been living with surrounding my stomach. I will be forever thankful and eternally grateful to Rodger for the momentous improvements he made to my self-esteem, my mental health and my overall welll-being for these next 30 -40 years should I be so lucky. Dr. Rodger Shortt is a 10+ and would receive my sincerest recommendation to anyone contemplating a surgery at his hands.

He is very nice doctor and smart i had an amazing experience with him highly recommended for sure

Dr. Shortt is a real life super hero. He has been my surgeon for the past year after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. He has literally changed my life. He always makes me feel so comfortable and has a great sense of humour. He has made me laugh at times I didn’t think it was possible. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful surgeon during such a difficult time in my life. I will never forget what Dr. Shortt has done for me. I am forever grateful.

I have been dealing with Dr. Shortt this past year to do a lower eyelid surgery and more recently a tummy tuck and breast reduction and lift. Dr. Shortt was everything you could want in a surgeon, honest compassionate, realistic about expectations and outcomes. After having 10lb babies the tummy tuck was the thing I wanted more than anything and had such anxiety about doing it, and now I couldn’t be more please with the results. It has literally changed my life, made me feel more confident and happy with my physical appearance beyond my expectations. I would recommend this extraordinary surgeon to anyone!

My name is Deanna McD. When I was 18 I had nose surgery to correct my breathing. There was also a chance of the appearance of my nose being altered due to how severe the damage was from breaking it in the past ect. I was very scared. I was young and nervous. Dr Shorrt was very up front and professional. The whole staff was amazing as well. My nose surgery was covered by OHIP due to the damages. I can happily breathe again. I do not get sick as often. And I am able to taste food. This doctor changed my life. And I cannot thank him enough. I would highly recommend him. He is amazing.

I came to Dr. shortt after a few consults that I was unhappy with the price and connection with the surgeon. I met Dr. Shortt and was instantly at ease. He was funny, easy going and real with what he could and couldn’t do after my 100+ lb weightloss. I’ve had a tummy tuck, arm lift, breast and back lift done by him and have been so happy. His staff is always kind and efficient. Thanks Dr.Shortt for changing my life!

I had breast implant surgery in 2004. I was 32 and had nursed 2 babies. I got 360g textured Allergan implants. Dr. Mitch Brown did my original surgery and was fantastic. I loved them but as I got older and my breasts got larger I didn’t love the size anymore. I got tired of having to go up a size for clothes to accommodate my chest. I consulted with Dr. Shortt for breast implant replacement. He was so thorough, patient and explained to me all the pros/cons and risks of surgery. He went into great detail about all the current controversy over textured implants. I decided to go ahead with surgery and replace my textured implants with smaller smooth implants. We had lots of discussion about sizing, whether or not to do a lift or not. I decided against doing a lift and left my trust in him for implant size that would best achieve my aesthetic goals. During surgery he placed a 250g and a 275g implant and the operative team assessed what looked best. I ended up with Inspira 275g. I am now 1 week post and I am so happy!!! He cauterized my existing capsule to help it shrink to accommodate the smaller implant. These implants are so much softer than my original ones. My recovery has been fantastic. Only minor discomfort. The day of the surgery I came home and cooked dinner for my kids! I went back to work 5 days later…a 10 hour workday and I was fine. I have worked everyday this week with no issue. The anesthetist was amazing…no nausea and no sore throat! It was a big decision for me to change my implants but I have absolutely no regrets! Dr. Shortt, his staff, my care and my results have met if not exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend Dr.Shortt!

Dr. Shortt is absolutely amazing! He’s very personable, and gets to know who you are, and really cares about what you want and what your goals are. He explains everything in detail, including showing a very detailed power point presentation, which lists all the different options and pros and cons. He answers any and all questions you have.
My recovery has been perfect! Was off all pain meds by day 4, and up and walking by myself by day 5. Not a single infection!
I would recommend DR. Shortt to anyone!!

I have waited over 20 years for this! I have waited 10 months for my consultation with Dr. Shortt in Oakville, Ontario and it was well worth the wait!

Dr. Shortt was amazing, kind, intelligent, informative, respectful, careful listener, confident without arrogence…I can go on and on. He is everything you would hope for when considering such an important decision.

I cannot say enough good things about my surgery and follow up with Dr. Shortt. He is very thorough and honest and my results have been life changing!! I had a tummy tuck and liposuction with minimal discomfort and downtime. I am truly thrilled and can honestly say the whole procedure and follow up was way better than I ever thought possible. If you are considering any procedure, I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt and his team.

I absolutely love the results of my surgery with Dr. Shortt. He was so thorough and honest in our consultations. He asked a lot of questions that helped me decide what I wanted my end results to be and it made me feel he and I were on the same page. I felt very prepared and comfortable going into surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt and his amazing team to anyone considering breast augmentation or any cosmetic procedure.

I would recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone – his professionalism and down-to-earth personality is refreshing . He took the time to listen to me during every appointment and made sure I was at ease throughout the whole process.

Dr Shortt was forthright and honest about predictable results and never once exaggerated what the outcome would be. Professional to the end and very knowledgeable/informative before and post surgery. I never had a doubt about my choice of physician with respect to Dr Shortt and his staff.

I had an eye lid lift and also tightened up the skin under my eyes…I am more than pleased with my results. My eyes look great and I actually see better!! Dr. Shortt and his staff are friendly and professional and I would highly recommend them.

I recently received breast augmentation and am extremely happy with the results! Dr. Shortt and his staff are wonderful and very talented. I definitely recommend this surgeon to anyone who is interested in cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Shortt is a very talented and compassionate doctor. He takes the time to listen to your concerns, and he lets you know what’s possible and what isn’t – he will never do something that will make you look fake or “done.” Dr. Shortt likes to say that he will make you into a better version of yourself, not someone else. He goes above and beyond to achieve your goals and truly cares about his patients.

I had a septorhinoplasty done to correct my breathing and the appearance of my nose. I have always been insecure about the size and shape of my nose – I had a bit of a bulbous tip and a prominent dorsal hump. I am so thrilled with the results of my surgery! In addition to breathing better, I am also feeling a lot more confident. I used to freak out if anyone took a photo of me from the side, but now I actually encourage it!

The support staff at Briarwood are wonderful, too. They make the experience comfortable and easy.

I just want to say Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job on my tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). I am very pleased! The care I received prior to, during, and after my surgery has been great. Dr. Shortt and the stuff at Briarwood cosmetic surgical centre have been very thorough and detail oriented when tending to my needs, concerns and questions. I am extremely happy that I finally took this step and LOVE my results. I wouldn’t have changed a thing and am glad I chose Dr. Shortt for my surgery.

I recently had a breast reduction and am so happy with the final result – Dr Shortt did an awesome job!

I recently had a scar revision surgery to repair scars from a bilateral mastectomy. Dr Roger Shortt is a Genius, I am so happy with the result it is more than I could have hoped for. I am so grateful to Dr Shortt for his empathy kindness and professionalism. His staff reflected that image and were helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. Even though I had a bilateral I feel very happy when I see myself in the mirror. That says everything.

The stretch marks, loose skin and a deformed belly button from my twin pregnancy really affected my self confidence. Dr. Shortt helped me get that “old me” feeling back! He is patient, professional and truly cares for you during the recovery process. I always felt that Dr. Shortt and his team were there when I needed questions answered. Before I went for my surgery, I had no idea how important the weeks and months after would be. Now, I couldn’t be happier that I chose Dr. Shortt to be my doctor. He also makes sure that you know what to expect and that made the journey so much easier for me. Best choice I made! I finally feel like myself again.

Extremely pleased to share my recent experience with Dr. Shortt and his professional staff. The entire experience was more than I had hoped it would be. From beginning consultation to follow-up visits. Dr. Shortt and his staff are highly recommended for any results you are hoping to achieve. This team is the very best!

Save yourself the energy and don’t look any further. Dr. Shortt is literally the best surgeon anywhere. I had a breast lift with small(ish) implants and a tummy tuck with a small scar. I can still wear a string bikini and you cannot see my scar. Every thing about this experience has been amazing. If I ever need work doing again I will 100% only go to Dr. Shortt, he’s the best and worth every penny.

Dr. Shortt preformed a gynecomastia gland removal on me, I am 20 years old and have been dealing with gynecomastia my whole life, it has caused me alot of pain and discomfort. I am very athletic and fitness is my passion, having these glands affected how I looked cosmetically as well. I was recommended by my doctor to have Dr. Shortt as my surgeon, and I am so happy I was recommended to him. Throughout the process getting ready for my surgery he was extremely knowledgeable and professional providing all the information I needed to know. His staff were very helpful as well and I sent several emails asking questions and always got a reply right away. The surgery itself went really well and I was surprised that there was very little pain following the surgery, I didn’t really need any painkillers. He removed both glands which happened to be quite large from my chest. I saw Dr Shortt for follow up appointments for the first 3 weeks after, we were both extremely happy with how I was healing and the results. In fact, I am blown away by how much better I look, there is no scar at all and no soreness and discomfort like I had before I got the surgery done. I’m impressed, and I haven’t even healed fully yet since I am only 3 weeks out, I am looking forward to the final results because it’s only going to get better from here. This was a life changing surgery for me, I am so pleased I was able to get the opportunity to have such a great surgeon perform it. If you are a male that is looking for a good surgeon to perform this type of surgery, I am confident that you will be beyond happy with what Dr. Shortt can do, I know I was. Thank you.

I highly recommend dr. Shortt, he is very honest. I had a consultation for my son to do his nose he explained everything to us thoroughly and spend enough time with us and answered all our questions.

I had sought a breast reduction to ease the back and neck pain I had endured for years. I had met a few other plastic surgeons over a year period. I had never been comfortable or confident enough to make the decision to have surgery…not until I met with Dr Shortt. I had been afraid of surgery and never felt convinced it was worth it. After my consultation with Dr Shortt , I was excited about how he could help. He made me feel very comfortable. During the initial examination we also spoke about the large deposits of skin and fat under my arms – a constant source of embarrassment and discomfort. I had not worn anything sleeveless in years as they spilled out. He spoke to me about “auxiliary breast tissue removal”. I was thrilled there was something that could be done and both surgeries could be performed together When explaining what the procedure would entail and the recovery time, he spoke with me not at me. He acknowledged my fears and concerns. All my questions had been answered and I knew that surgery was the right decision and he was the right surgeon for me! ( I was so excited about the prospect now that I shared with my daughter now amazing he was – she had also meet other plastic surgeons for implants for herself – she met him and was also so impressed – she had her surgery performed by him as well!) The surgery went well. At all the follow up appointments, he was always timely. You would think being exposed and examined would be uncomfortable, but is wasn’t. He is such a professional and put you at such ease with him that I never had the chance to feel uncomfortable He would exam the areas and scars and instruct how to best take care of them. He shared in my joy and excitement for the difference this had made! I feel better and look better I also want to mention what an amazing team he has as well. Everyone I came into contact with at his office were amazing! I can’t come up with one thing that I feel he could have improved on. Without any hesitation I would, and do, recommend him!

At 51 years of age and many, many years of pain, I sought out a Surgeon who would perform for me an OHIP covered Breast Reduction and after a great deal of research, I selected Dr Shortt based on his credentials and experience. Reviewing his past surgery accomplishments, I soon wanted the “Mommy Makeover”. At my first appointment, I was pleasantly surprised by the Dr Shortt’s demeanor. He was found to be very approachable and empathetic. He took the time to explain everything that I needed to know and also answered all of my questions without making it seem a burden. He went through step by step what I would go through during and after my surgery. As a very self-conscious person, he was able to make me feel very comfortable being fully exposed and was professional every step of the way. His Support Staff are all so very courteous and professional. As far as the surgery itself, I would have to say I think that not only is he an excellent Surgeon, he is a Sculptor. I am extremely pleased with the results. The few people that I have shown my stomach and newly formed belly button are astounded at the results. Currently I am 9 weeks post op and feel wonderful and able to go back to the gym. Dr Shortt being a Perfectionist wants another 6mth appt to ensure that I remain am as happy as I am today and that the scarring is as minimal as possible. He has changed my life and I am very grateful. I would and have recommended him to several people already.

I am currently 5 weeks post op and am extremely pleased with my results so far and Dr.Shortt told me if I’m happy with the results so far, wait until I’m finally healed. Dr Shortt is an amazing doctor, his bedside manner is impeccable and at every step of the way he made me feel comfortable and you could tell he genuinely really cared. He took his time to listen to me and my concerns and reassured me he would do his very best, and the results so far are amazing, I am extremely happy and feel amazing. With any big surgery it can be scarey and nervous but Dr.Shortt is very knowledgeable and most of the time had already answered all my questions I had for him and he put me at ease. His staff are amazing to work with too, especially Joanne. Thank you guys, from my very first consult to today you have made this whole experience absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend you definitely go see Dr.Shortt his professionalism and the fact that he actually treats you like a person first shows he really cares.

I am very pleased with the excellent work of Dr. Rodger Shortt. His expertise and great manners helped me a lot through the difficult times and multiple operations I went through. As a cancer breast patient, I had two mastectomies for my right and left breasts. Dr. Short joined the surgeon on my second mastectomy and started his wonderful work of inserting the breast tissue expanders. I visited Dr. Shortt’s clinic several times to inject the saline into the breast expanders. During these visits, I appreciated the staff pleasant attitudes and Dr. Shortt recommendations. At the last stage of the process, Dr. Shortt removed the breast expanders and inserted the breast implants and he reconstructed my nipples from my breast skin. I am very pleased with the wonderful job Dr. Shortt has completed. I highly recommend Dr. Shortt and wish him every success with all the patients.

About 8 years ago I had a lumpectomy leaving my breasts very unbalanced. It has made super uncomfortable about my appearance especially in a bathing suite. Dr. Shortt did an amazing job fixing this. I am so very grateful for all the hard work he did. My girls look like twins instead of cousins. Also, his staff is excellent and caring. I am so happy and recommend him to anyone who needs a good Plastic Surgeon who listens and get the best possible results for his patient.

So unbelievably happy with my tummy tuck results with Dr. Shortt! After having two big babies (9&11.5 lb) I was left with stretched abdominal skin and a gap in my abdominal wall that no amount of working out was going to fix (and I tried!!!) I knew I was going to need surgery but it was a long road of research and decision making including visiting many surgeons before making my decision to go with Dr. Shortt. He did not disappoint! From the appointments, to the surgery techniques, products, his nursing and support staff, and after surgery care I could not be happier with my decision to go with him nor with my results. To start Dr. Shortt was very personable, he listened to what I wanted and seemed to really care about my concerns and get what I was looking for. Dr. Shortt was able to clearly explain his techniques and provide me with numerous before and after pictures. I had zero complications throughout surgery and my recovery and believe that was definitely due to the time and care Dr. Shortt took with me. I am so happy with my results and my decision to go with Dr. Shortt! I would highly recommend him!!!!

My experience with Dr. Shortt was fantastic. He is very personable and the first time I met him he had my trust. I have had two procedures done by Dr. Shortt and am extremely happy with the results. He takes the time with you to explain everything and is up front about what you can expect from the procedure. I would recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone.

I am a mommy of 3 lovely children and breast feed each of them. 44 years old, 140 pounds, active/fit person. After gaining and losing 50+ pounds three times I didn’t like the extra skin on my tummy and the “pancake” look my boobs had taken on. I originally saw Dr.Shortt in September and was only planning on doing fat transfer to my breasts and mini tuck. After many hours on this site and researching the heck out of everything I decided to do a small implant/ lift and tummy tuck but only moving my belly button down (not making a new one) Plus, I wanted the incision super low and not as long as usual so I can still wear a low string bikini. I should have started my review earlier as I’m on day 4 now but I figured better late than never. For the upcoming weeks before surgery I was thinking of canceling as $20k+ and 4-6 weeks of hell as a busy mom of three just feels irresponsible, but i kept telling myself that I MATTER TOO, I’m doing this!!! So here we are… it’s done no turning back now lol

I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Shortt – I have had two major procedures with him and am BEYOND thrilled with my results. He is the best there is and I would highly recommend him to all my family and friends. I will be forever grateful for everything he has done. Start to finish it was an amazing experience. Thank you again Dr. Shortt and your awesome staff!

I had a tummy tuck and breast reduction with Dr.Shortt and I am BEYOND thrilled with my results. He is such an amazing surgeon – he is knowledgeable, super talented and so helpful every step of the way and the results are truly amazing – he has changed me life and given me a whole new fabulous me!! I would highly highly recommend Dr Shortt to all my friends and family! Thank you again SO much Dr Shortt.

Fabulous Doctor, Extremely smart ( like Mensa IQ) with attention to detail. Confident, clear, and precise in conversations. Hand surgery was done extremely well with 4 breaks in one shattered bone. Bone was wrapped and pinned in titanium chain links and micro screwed. Recover has been excellent I have 100% of mobility in my hand and work in home renovation. The scar is small pin sized line, not noticeable; no extra bumps or blemishes. Truly a five star surgeon. I am hoping he does face surgery.

I was so pleased that my GP referred me to Dr Shortt, for knee surgery. Excellent caring Doctor, if you need plastic surgery place Dr. Shortt, at the top of your list. Great experience, great results, this Doc, is a 10!

I simply cannot find enough superlatives to express my gratitude to Dr. Short for his wonderful work.
I have, for many years now, had numerous black moles and dark spots on my face and they seemed to be multiplying. Dr. Short removed over 40 of these and when I left his office, I have to admit, I was worried. I looked pretty rough. But there are no crevices or dips in my skin (of which I thought there’d be many) and most incredibly there is no visible scarring at all. It’s hard for me to say how much better I feel now. I have a refreshed, natural look. I am a career musician and in the public eye so, needless to say, I feel so much more confident about my appearance.
Dr. Short was honest with me from the beginning. He clearly explained options to me but never made me feel that he was up selling other services. I was fearful and had huge reservations about having anybody touch my face but everything about my experience with Dr. Short and his staff was positive and I would have absolutely no hesitation to recommend him. He has my sincere thanks.

From the get go the professionalism and expertise I had received far surpassed those from other consultations I had done. I had gone in for a breast augmentation and am amazed from the results. You can tell the enthusiasm and passion Dr.Shortt has for his work. He had stated that afterwards my breast would look “perfect”, I figured anything would be better then what I had. Unbelieving then, here I am now absolutely thrilled with the results. I had a tattoo where the implant incision would be, to my surprise Dr. Shortt was able to work around it as well.

The day of my surgery Dr. Shortt and his team made me feel very comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you again !

Everyone reacts differently to a diagnosis / treatment of breast cancer. For me, after the mastectomy, I no longer felt whole. I decided reconstructive surgery was the answer which was very intense – but no regrets. The results were good but I still felt a little mismatched. My surgeon referred me to Dr. Shortt. Like so many others on this site, I felt like he knew exactly what I was looking for and how to get there. Dr. Shortt has a great eye and is a creative visionary that can determine what need to be done, coupled with the skill to do it. What really differentiates him from the rest though, is his empathy and understanding. You don’t often find doctors who are good at combining the science with compassion. This was a surprising and greatly appreciated aspect of my care. I am 4 weeks post op now and I have to say the results are spectacular. I feel like the sisters have been reunited and I am whole again. If you have had reconstructive surgery and feel you need a little more finessing, take my advice and make it happen. You will be glad you did. I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt to my closest friends and family and to anyone looking for cosmetic improvements.

Thank you again,

Susan

Amazing plastic surgeon who was initially referred to me by another plastic surgeon. From my first consultation, Dr Shortt immediately knew what surgical procedures were the best option for my situation. No hesitation in diagnosis and recommended plan of action. I’m a breast cancer survivor and I thought a breast reconstruction was a lost cause for me due to my extension radiation treatments and consequential skin damage. Dr Shortt was very methodical and professional throughout the entire 18 month process. Before each surgery, I witnessed assertiveness and confidence with a sure hand mapping my body with his sharpie pen. He made me feel at ease with his good sense of humour and music.
My breast cancer journey is at long last over and I am quite happy with the final results. I feel rejuvenated and have gained my confidence back. I am so glad that I didn’t hesitate with my initial decision to go forward with the breast reconstruction. Thank you so much Dr. Shortt.

Dr. Shortt made my experience so wonderful and easy, he listened to all my concerns and was so helpful with everything. I had small implants put in to correct my tuberous breast and didn’t want too much of a visible change in size, he did exactly that and was so helpful throughout the whole process and made things very easy. I can’t thank I’m enough!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Shortt and his staff. I am so thankful to have had such a skilled surgeon and I am extremely happy with the results and I am glad I went through with the procedure/ chose Dr. Shortt as my surgeon. When I went for my pre-op check-up with my GP he asked who my surgeon was and when I told him it was Dr. Shortt he said that Dr. Shortt is a very good surgeon/ “one of the best.” The consultation process was excellent, I had more questions than the average patient. I asked specific questions about the procedure and the techniques that he uses for the surgery and he was more than happy to answer all my questions and let me know that I could come back for further consultations if I had more questions etc.

I highly recommend Dr. Shortt. I recently had laser surgery on my face and am very pleased with the results. Dr. Shortt was patient, understanding and answered all my questions during our consultation. I later had some concerns about the surgery and Dr. Shortt listened to them and modified the procedure for me. I felt completely confident in his skill, expertise and professionalism and am very glad I went ahead with the surgery.

Over the past 7 months, I have seen Dr Shortt for 2 procedures – breast implant removal, followed by breast augmentation using fat transfer (separate procedures). Dr Shortt is an amazing surgeon. His professionalism, perfectionism in his work, his bedside manner and not to mention his sense of humour are all on point. He never tries to “up sell” and truly listens. His assistant, Joanne, is excellent.
From my first consult to my post-op after care, the experience has been exceptional.

Absolutely hands down the best! Dr Shortt is very skilled surgeon and has a warm, caring personality along with a sense of humour which will keep you at ease throughout the whole process. You are in the best hands should you choose Dr. Shortt. Thank you Dr Shortt and Joanne for making my surgical journey a great experience!

I was reviewing breast transfer procedures on real self. Dr. Shorrt had comment on a previous post. I checked out his profile/website and decided to go for a consultation. I was glad that he actually conducted the consultation. I’ve been to one where the Dr.’s assistant did the initial one. He was very easy to talk , to express your concerns. He was very knowledge. Some doctors are in rush to explain things. “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression” . I felt very comfortable right away. I knew I wanted him to be my surgeon.

Dr Short t was my surgeon for breast reduction, tummy tuck, bra-line back lift and panniculectomy. I was at ease upon our first meeting. I felt he genuinely was on my side and interested in my well being. Although the surgeries I have undergone have been major , the pain was surprisingly minor. I have had excellent recoveries and shockingly minimal scaring. I could not be more satisfied with having been his patient. I did some research about plastic surgery and costs were in line with others. All in all I can not say enough good things about my experience with both Dr. Shortt and his staff

I had lost an excessive amount of weight. After success in living a healthier lifestyle I found that the extra skin impacted my health in other ways. Dr Short completed a Belt Lipectomy.
My experience through the consultation visits and pre and post surgery was very positive!
Dr. Shortt was detailed with my questions leaving nothing to my imagination, defining the realities I would experience throughout the process. He was specific through the preparatory work that needed to happen and made me feel connected and comfortable with the procedure.
Dr. Shortt is professional, extremely knowledgeable as a plastic surgeon, and has the ability to communicate to people with clarity during each appointment!
I have also appreciated the office environment and connections with Joanne as she answered my questions with efficiency and genuine care.
Dr. Shortt is highly skilled in what he does, and he has the character of caring and valuing as he speaks with you. Dr. Shortt wants great results for each person and sets a very high standard, in which I am grateful!
I am really happy with the whole process from start to finish and excited about the outcome of having this surgery!
Thank you Dr. Shortt!

I had a bump on my thumb removed by Dr Shortt a few years ago. It was e third time I’d had it removed, as it kept growing back, but since Dr Shortt removed it, it hasn’t returned!

Dr Shortt was recommended to me for my explant surgery. I was informed he was the best surgeon for the job and that I would be very happy with the results.
We met on a couple of occasions before the surgery and discussed the options of new implants, fat grafting or just an explant. He was courteous, respectful and very knowledgeable.
He respected my decision to just have the explant surgery and didn’t try to sell me on other procedures. He is all about what’s best for his patients. When I had my pre-op at the hospital, the intake nurse couldn’t say enough wonderful things about him and his skills. That solidified it for me.
I’m very pleased with the results of my explant surgery. It was a unique case in that the implants had completely liquified. They were done 8 years ago by another recommended surgeon in Burlington, not Dr Shortt himself. It seems they were just defective.
Dr. Shortt noted that he had never seen any implants come out in that condition. I appreciate that he is following up with the manufacturer to inform them of the situation.
if you are choosing implants, please do your research and educate yourself and if you choose to have them done, Dr. Shortt is your guy.

Recently I had Dr Shortt remove a large lump from the back of my leg. His genuinely friendly manner immediately put me at ease.
In the hospital, he explained how the procedure was going to work, which made me feel comfortable. The actual procedure took less than 5 minutes, with no pain. I was completely relaxed, knowing I was in good hands. Dr. Shortt is a true professional, with an amazing bedside manner. I’d trust him to do absolutely any surgical procedure and would feel confident that the outcome would be very successful.

Absolutely hands down the best! Dr Shortt is very skilled and has a warm, caring personality along with a sense of humour:) You are in the best hands should you choose Dr. Shortt. Thank you Dr Shortt and Joanne for making this a great experience!

Dr. Shortt performed breast reduction/tummy tuck surgery and I am very happy with the results. He is a masterful surgeon and he has exceeded my expectations. I’m a 64 yr. old woman who has lived with shoulder and back pain for years. I decided to have a breast reduction in the hope of easing this discomfort and improving my quality of life in retirement. I was able to discuss questions and concerns easily with Dr. Shortt. He has a quiet, kind manner , complemented by a good sense of humour. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Shortt to my family and friends. The office staff are also very professional, friendly and helpful.

I went to Dr. Shortt for breast reduction in 2015 and things went sideways when they found an early form of breast cancer (DCIS). It hadn’t shown up on the mammogram 6 months earlier. Dr. Rodger delivered the news, and was gentle and frank about my choices. I had been thrilled and pleasantly surprised with the breast reduction. I was equally happy about what followed after the cancer news; no chemo or radiation required: just a series of surgeries starting with a unilateral mastectomy, DIEP Flap surgery for breast reconstruction, nipple reconstruction and scar remediation, all ending with a nipple tattoo by one of his expert colleagues. I’ve never been so well cared for in my life. Dr. Shortt and his teams, both at the office and in the OR, formed a circle of care that kept me comfortable, confident and happy.
Dr. Shortt has fully embraced social media, which translates into access to tons of information through his blogs, links about procedures (i.e. DIEP flap surgery), and the ability to ask him questions remembered after appointments. He’s a straight shooter and a healer with a quick wit and a world of personal experience. I can’t recommend him enough!

Dr Shortt was has been incredible! I went to him in search of options for correctly my breast asymmetry. I read a lot of reviews for plastic surgeons in and around Toronto and I chose Dr Shortt because his reviews were overwhelmingly positive. Initially, I was interested in fat grafting because I feared an implant would be obvious. At my consultation, Dr Shortt explained the advantages and disadvantages of both options. His opinion was that an implant would actually be the better choice because breast augmentation with an implant is much more predictable and due to the difference in my breasts, I would probably need multiple sessions of fat grafting, which would get quite expensive. After the consultation, I understood why an implant would be the better choice for me and my body. He wrote a letter on my behalf advocating that my surgery be covered by OHIP, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, and they agreed to cover it! I really appreciated that Dr Shortt was honest about what he thought would make me the most happy (an implant in one side), not what would make him the most money (multiple sessions of fat grafting). Throughout the whole process, he was patient, understanding, and confident. His sense of humour put me at ease on surgery day and I couldn’t be happier with the results of my surgery. I didn’t want bigger breasts, just more symmetrical ones and he managed to balance me out beautifully without even touching my bigger left breast. My surgery was three weeks ago and except for the scar (which is healing beautifully) you can’t even tell I had surgery. My new breast looks and feels great and I can’t stop buying pretty new bras now that any bra will work for me. I can’t wait for bikini season! Dr Shortt is talented, trustworthy, and kind. As soon as you meet him, you’ll see that he truly cares about your happiness. Thank you, Dr Shortt!

I would 100% recommend Dr. Shortt and his staff to anyone who is considering breast reconstruction surgery. Dr. Shortt is a very knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate surgeon. i
felt comfortable with him from the first consultation appointment. He answered every question we had and was never in a rush. I am very grateful to Dr. Shortt for his expertise and his skills for making me feel like a whole woman again
Thank you so much !!

My experience with Dr. Shortt was great. I highly recommend Dr Shortt if you are considering any surgery. He did my breast reconstruction twice and each was very professional . He also took care of me after that so no concerns.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Dr. Shortt for my initial assessment this week. My appointment was not only on time, but they were able to accommodate my early arrival. Dr. Shortt was a delight. He immediately put me at ease and was not in a rush. He was thorough, professional and clearly is the expert in his field. This is my second assessment and and I very happy that I held out for this referral.

I wish I had had a breast reduction sooner; the improvement in how I feel physically and mentally is simply amazing. I could repeat so much of what others have said about Dr. Shortt; he is professional, knowleable and is quick with a funny quip when needed. I appreciate and am so grateful for his skill as a surgeon/artist. Joanne is always friendly and helpful and I appreciate her time in scheduling my surgery. Most definately recommend this Dr. Shortt and his team!

Great Doctor with a great front office staff. Joanne amazing. Dr. Shortt is kinda, and helpful he is definitely a recommended Dr.

Dr. Shortt was very easy to talk to, he made me feel comfortable about having the breast reconstruction. I had a breast removed on May 25,2015 due to cancer. One of the cancer doctors in the Hamilton Cancer Center recommended Dr. Shortt. This was a great turning point in my life. I could not begin to tell you how great this experience was. He is so down to earth, kept me calm in talking about the surgery. If I had to tell another person dealing with breast cancer and having to have it removed, to see Dr. Shortt. This was a very traumatic experience to go through but this doctor made it easier to deal with the operation.

From his front office staff (Joanne) to his OR staff and Dr. Shortt himself, all made my experience a good one. I highly recommend Dr Shortt if you are considering any surgery.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, facing the necessity for a mastectomy and frightened of the unknown that lay ahead of me. I quickly researched the various breast reconstruction options including flap reconstruction and which plastic surgeons were skilled in this microsurgery procedure. I was EXTREMELY fortunately to learn about Dr. Shortt.
My reconstruction was a multi-step process over 2.5 years and during each consultation, surgery and post-op appointment, Dr. Shortt and his staff (Kristen, Joanne) were professional, compassionate and attentive to my questions.
I am very grateful to Dr. Shortt for his skills which have made me feel and look whole again. Thank you Dr. Shortt!

I am soo happy to have found Dr shortt..I feel soo lucky to have followed my gutt feeling and chose Dr shortt as my surgeon..I was between Dr shortt and another Hollywood Dr in the states..after having a skyp call with both of them..I felt instant comfort with Dr shortt.. he explained everything about the procedure ( the tummy thigh and breast lift) and really took time answering all my questions and concerns…I got very nervous as the day got closer.. but as soon as I saw him in person( I forgot to mention that I flew all the way from Dubai to Toronto for this and boy am I glad) as soon as I saw him in person I felt that sense of comfort I had during my skyp calls ..
Do now let me tell you about my recovery..I had the surgery and got discharged same day.. my breast lift was a piece of cake. I did feel nothing but a sense of discomfort to say the most.. however it was okaaay, controlable with meds..I walked immediately as per Dr shortt recommendation.. but I stayed home for the first 5 days because my meds were making me drowsy .. for the next 5 days .. off meds by now(i chose to do so because I got bored and s wanted to get out) it was torture I couldn’t walk more than an hour in the mall or so and it was very painful getting out of bed.. after 10 days it got soo much better .. at 15 days I was perfectly fine.

Nowabout my results..I am one month in and soo thrilled of the outcomes..I was soo ecstatic .. of my new set of knockers I was showing them to all my girlfriends.. they could not believe that I didn’t have implants in .. they were asking me to touch them to make sure and asked me are you sure Dr didn’t insert any kind of support ????????.. because there too perky with beautiful shape..Dr shortt not only does a lift.. apparently during the procedure.. somehow he shapes the fat as well to create fullness in the right places..ie more lifted breasts.. and i have to say i have heavy breasts i am 32DD so that was a phenomenal thing to achieve.. the scars are amazing almost invisible now.
About my tummy tuck..I have to say i am a fit person I exercise alot and I have strong abs and mainly wanted the tummy tuck for the muscle repairs.. mine were strong but a bit separated and you can only do soo much with working out.. my stomach is so flat now.. it’s unbelievable. And it supposed to get even better with time and exercise ..I can’t wait to have a six pack????????
I would like to thank Dr shortt and Joanne.. his amazing secretary assistant.. she was soo nice and warm..I am soo greatful for them both.. and i will defenitly consider coming back for any cosmetic procedures in the future .. it was defenitly worth the 17 hours journey from Dubai.!!

This experience took awhile to absorb for a few reasons. Clearly a breast cancer diagnosis is a scary reality but I am happy to say with the beautiful reconstruction surgery I went through under the care of Dr. Shortt I am now starting to feel like a beautiful person on the inside and out! I very grateful for the new me!! Sincerely
M. Dohan

Dr Shortt and his staff provided excellent care. From my initial communication with the office and my multiple visits (while I decided exactly what I wanted done) everyone was through, communicative and helpful. I ended up having a ‘mommy makeover’ and couldn’t be happier with my results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Shortt to anyone looking for a PS.

I always had a small chest (34A at best) and had considered implants for years. Just over a year prior to getting my surgery, I had started a fitness journey to get me back to a place where I was comfortable in my own skin again. Something I didn’t anticipate was actually losing fat in my chest.
Becoming frustrated with not being able to fit into any of my shirts, even after all the hard work I had put in through fitness, I made the decision to get a small implant to at the very least get me back up to where I was before losing weight.
I chose an implant that was 170cc’s along with fat grafting to help hide the implant. I wanted to make sure it looked as natural as possible.
After the surgery, everything went pretty much as expected. I had a bit of excess swelling where the lipo was done on my thighs to collect the fat for the grafting. The brusing was worse than I had expected but definitely not out of the ordinary. Dr Shortt even met with me a few days after my surgery just to make sure.
It’s now been just over 2 months since my surgery and I couldn’t be happier. Things are still settling but I’m more pleased and would highly recommend Dr Shortt to anyone! His care and detail were exceptional!

Dr. Shortt is an outstanding surgeon. I approached him regarding nipple reduction surgery, and frankly, I was a bit embarrassed when I began discussing it with him at the consultation. However, Dr. Shortt was very professional, took the time to answer all of my questions, and made me feel completely comfortable. By the time my consultation wrapped up, I was so impressed with Dr. Shortt that I went ahead and booked the surgery before I left the office… and I can honestly state that the outcome of my surgery was fantastic! My nipples are much smaller but look completely natural and there is no perceptible scar. By the way, I also had Dr. Shortt perform a facial laser rejuvenation procedure and I’m very happy with the results. Dr. Shortt is a perfectionist and I would not hesitate to recommend him and the Briarwood Surgical Centre in Oakville.

These journeys that we are faced with are filled with emotions right from the beginning. It is so important to be surrounded by positive, good people to help you through. Unfortunately, I did not have that. Not until I went to Briarwood Cosmetic Surgical Centre. For me, the reconstruction part of my journey has been the most important. I truly feel like the luckiest person in the world. I have been blessed, not only with surviving cancer but with crossing paths with the most amazing person I have ever met. The kindness, care, time and dedication that I received from a total stranger. Dr. Shortt took the time to care about me and how I felt about myself. He not only fixed me with reconstruction, which I really thought would be impossible, he did so much more. He fixed ME…my self-confidence and inner strength like I’ve never felt before. I will forever be thankful, grateful and most of all honoured to say that I spent the most important part of my journey surrounded by the love and care of the wonderful people at Briarwood Cosmetic Surgical Centre, all of them; including Dr. Brown, the most wonderful Joanne and the most amazing Ann Marie. Everyone had such a huge positive impact on my life and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Dr. Shortt…I have no words…thank you so much

If you are looking for a kind, caring, compassionate and patient, surgeon, Dr. Rodger Shortt is your man. In March of 2015, I was diagnosed with stage three, invasive ductal carcinoma and, as a result, in April 2015, I underwent a full mastectomy. Upon learning that I carried the BRAC 1 mutation, I chose to have my left breast removed as a health precaution in November 2016. Because of the damage caused by the radiation treatments, I had to be realistic about the possibility of not being able to have reconstructive surgery. From the start, Dr. Shortt has been honest, patient, sensitive and beyond helpful with my questions and concerns throughout this process (3 surgeries)! I am beyond grateful for what this man has been able to accomplish, he has not only met, but exceeded my expectations. He worked magic and I will be forever thankful to him for what he has done for me.

Awesome experience, waited a long time before having reconstruction, but it was definitely worth it.

Dr Shortt was informative, friendly and humourous. He also is very particular about his work and takes it very seriously. I truly don’t think I could of had a more positive experience than what I had with Dr Shortt and his staff. Joanne, his scheduler/admin assistant is amazing also. Thanks again for being you.

I had waited many years after my mastectomy to have breast reconstruction, and I am very happy that I decided to choose Dr Shortt over all the other consultations I had over the years. His commitment to professionalism and perfection are traits you want in a plastic surgeon.
His sense of humor is a bonus, that just makes the experience better.
Thank you Dr Short for your great work.
Oops…just about forgot to mention Joanne, his amazing personal administrator…she is truly caring and lovely also.

I am really happy that I got it done. I can wear what I feel like and not be stressed out how I have to tuck in. Feels great now. Procedure was not long. Was home same day. First few days wete hard. needed the help from family but they say. NO PAIN NO GAIN. Overall not bad. I would definitely recommend Dr Shortt and his team. Thanks And good luck.

After having 2 c sections, it was clear that no matter how much diet and exercise I did, it was not going to reverse the damage of pregnancy.

I was planning to have a breast reduction anyway, so having a “mommy makeover “ seemed the best fit for me.

A year and a half later, my results are spectacular!

After breastfeeding my babies, I was left with some pretty sad breasts. I didn’t want a huge difference – nothing very noticeable, just to be a bit more filled out and well balanced. The cosmetic surgery world is pretty foreign to me, I didn’t know where to start. After hours of research I decided to book a consultation with Dr. Shortt. The process was quite quick and I felt very comfortable. He achieved phenomenal results, I couldn’t be more pleased.

Dr. Shortt and his staff are absolutely amazing! I’m from Niagara and people ask me , why do you travel to Oakville to see you doctor, and my reply HE’S WORTH TO TRAVEL TO SEE THE BEST! I think , that says it all! Words can’t express how thankful I am to him and his staff! THANKS DR. SHORTT 🙂

Excellent Doctor and all around great person. It’s really hard to find a doctor who has such a superb skillset and the bedside manner to go along with it. I had an unsightly cyst removed from my face and Dr Shortt used one stitch. No word of a lie there is not even a scar and it’s been less than two months. I have seen a few plastic surgeons in the past and Dr Shortt is by and far a class in his own. If I do have any major procedures in the future I will definitely be going to him.

Dr. Shortt and staff were absolutely amazing. All were extremely professional, down-to-earth and very personable. The OR staff have a great sense of humour, and did an excellent job of incorporating humour to relax me/lighten the mood but at the same time always maintained a high degree of professionalism. Dr. Shortt provided all the facts and risks associated with the procedure and took time to answer all my questions. The procedure itself went well and I am extremely happy with the outcome. He is very knowledgeable and pays close attention to detail. It is clear he loves what he does and takes great pride in his work. I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt! There are many reasons why I chose Dr. Shortt but one I love is that he didn’t try to ‘up-sell’ me on liposuction or anything else. Despite exercising and eating clean, I don’t have the media’s idea of a ‘perfect body’ and I am also not interested in one. I wanted the tummy tuck not to look perfect but because the flap of skin/fat…

My 9 year old son had his ears pinned by Dr Shortt in August, 2017. He had a great experience from the time we met with Dr Shortt to post procedure. His ears have healed well and he looks great. Dr Shortt was very patient with him.

I was dx with breast cancer, shortly after giving birth to my daughter 2014. My family doctor without hesitation suggest Dr shortt to help my reconstruction. He was truly an amazing doctor. He answer all questions and was helpful. He thrives to do the best work. I felt comfortable and believed in him. Through my entire journey,he help me take back my femanity. Breast cancer did not take that away from me. Dr. Shortt and his staff are great. Joanne is amazing. Thank you for your skills, your knowledge and heart. I recommend Dr shortt. Thank you so much.

Over the years my breasts kept getting larger and looked very matronly. Clothes didn’t fit properly and because I am only 5′ 2″ tall, I looked chubby all the time. I lost 12 pounds after Christmas and no one noticed. All anyone commented on was how large my breasts were. My neck hurt all the time and my self esteem was really hurting. My family physician recommended I have consultation with Dr. Short and it was the single best decision I have made in a very long time. Dr. Short is very kind and gentle, explains procedures and expected outcomes very thoroughly. I had the procedure done in July and was surprised at how little recovery time I needed. I had one wobbly week but was not taking any pain killers after a couple of days. It has been the most remarkable transformation as I have a new found sense of self confidence. I carry myself straighter and lighter. I feel years younger. I now have these cute perky boobs. Dr. Short is well versed in the latest surgical techniques. There is a remarkable difference in having this procedure done by him regarding internal stitches, no drains, etc. rather then the type of surgery done in years past. Even the nurses at the hospital where I had my procedure done choose him for their own procedures. I highly recommend Dr. Short for cosmetic procedures.

I had been concerned about my eye bags for some time and decided it was time for action. Dr Shortt is extremely knowledgeable, very professional in his conduct and has a great bedside manner. He listened to my concerns and then made suggestions about what he thought should be done. I decided to proceed and couldn’t be any happier with the end result.The after procedure care is equally as good and I was even given Dr Shortt’s personal cell number should I have any concerns and wanted to speak to him out of surgery hours.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Shortt and the staff at Briarwood Cosmetic. I had a laser rejuvenation treatment on my face and could not be happier with the results!! The treatment itself was short and painless! The recovery time was quick and the results were AMAZING!! Even my teenage daughter noticed how fresh looking my face was; coming from a teenager that means a lot!! More rescently, I was at an engagement party for a younger friend and they were taken back by my age. My skin looks better than theirs!! Thank you Dr. Shortt, I could not be more pleased by my results and recommend this treatment to anyone looking for a fresh revived look.

I was received at the outpatient clinic in a timely manner, and was escorted to my room almost immediately. The nurses were kind and thoughtful, and really helped me conquer my fear of what was about to happen. Knowing what to expect from a previous similar procedure. That was uncomfortable and left me feeling weak from the sensation of cutting into my body. Thankfully, and I do mean that thankfully, Dr Shortt was amazing. The staff were efficient and excelled at thier jobs. I didn’t feel a thing, after the small sting of the freezing needle and I am grateful. Dr Shortt conducted himself as a solid professional and with great temperament, and skill. I am happy with the results, and would highly recommend him. I myself am looking forward to my next procedure.

Dr. Shortt was no less than exceptional. His bedside manner wonderful. He makes you feel very comfortable. He never tries to upsell you on anything. He gives you the straight goods on what he can do for you. . He is very honest and straightforward. If he doesn’t think you will be happy with something you request (in my case I thought maybe an arm lift)-he tells you its not worth doing. All of his staff are excellent and very helpful. I am thrilled with my results and highly recommend Dr. Shortt. I give him 5 stars for all of the below!

Dr Shortt explained the treatment in detail so I knew exactly what to expect. He was also very helpful in answering any questions I had in the days following the treatment.

Kind and professional. Made the out patient experience, relaxing and dare I say fun! Nurses at the clinic were understanding and, a treat to be around. Dr Shortts clerk was also very kind. Thank you Dr. Shortt and staff.

When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb 2014, I was referred to Dr. Shortt. Upon meeting Dr. Shortt I was very nervous meeting him not knowing what to expect but I found he was very understanding and caring and compassionate. He makes sure that you understand his explanations and will take the time to go over any details that you are not sure about. All of his staff especially Joanne was also very helpful and understanding and compassionate. We discussed my options on whether I wanted to have reconstruction surgery and what options that were available to me. He never rushed my decision and always assured me that when I was ready he would discuss my decision with me again. I later made my decision, and Dr. Shortt performed full reconstruction. Throughout all of my appointments, treatments and surgeries he was always very compassionate, caring and supportive. I also had my right wrist operated on for carpal tunnel and Dr. Shortt did an amazing job and my hand feels 10 times better than it did before the surgery. Dr Shortt takes pride in his work and it shows from his results. I can not thank you enough, Dr. Shortt you made me feel whole again. You are highly respected among your peers as you were highly recommended to me. D Davis

I went to Dr. Shortt for the removal of an infected cyst. Dr. Shortt and his staff were so caring and supportive through all of my treatment. Thank you all so much! I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt.

For years I have been putting up with back and shoulder pain, and I finally decided that I had to have a breast reduction. The minute you walk in the door you know that you are in good hands. Everyone in the office is professional and courteous. Dr. Shortt was always on time, and took the time to ensure that I had all the information that I needed. Dr. Shortt has a top notch surgical team and therefore I had exceptional results. My breast are spectacular.

I am a new person. I feel lighter and the tension/pressure is gone from my back and shoulders. I regret that I didn’t do this earlier.

Dr. Shortts work is second to none. Aside from being an expert plastic surgeon, he is also kind and charing.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Shortt.

I went to see Dr. Short for botox treatment and for the first time, face fillers. I had a wonderful experience. All the staff were very pleasant and made me feel comfortable. Once the procedures began, Dr. Short explained, with his easy style and wonderful sense of humour, all that was going to happen, making me feel extremely at ease. I am very pleased with my results. I can not thank you enough, Dr. Short, for making me look refreshed and feeling more vibrant. Highly recommended.

In late January 2017, Dr. Shortt performed a Diep Flap reconstruction after a double mastectomy followed by fat grafting and nipple reconstruction this past July. Throughout this process which began with my first consultation almost two years ago, Dr. Shortt has been easy to talk to, informative and reassuring with any questions or concerns. The decision to undertake this surgery did not come easy, but from my first appointment with Dr. Shortt I was immediately assured that I had found the right surgeon for me and felt completely comfortable with my decision. Certainly having reviewed former patients testimonials of their experience’s with Dr. Shortt also gave me confidence as does his extensive education and experience. He approaches his craft with a desire to achieve the best result possible, understanding that every patient and situation is different, I can only speak to my result, and that result is far more than I hoped for. His skill, knowledge and attention to detail is…

I went to Dr. Shortt from a brachioplasty and thigh lift following significant weight loss. From the initial consultation, the morning of the surgery and through out the entire recovery period, Dr. Shortt took the time to explain all possible options and procedures to you, made you feel extremely comfortable and did everything possible to ensure you received the best care possible. I am extremely pleased with the results of my surgery and felt like a brand new person afterwards. I drove from 3 hours out of town to have Dr. Shortt as my surgeon for all consults, surgery and follow ups and will do it again when I am ready for my next procedure. My experience with Dr. Shortt and his staff was nothing but amazing!

Beyond my expectations. I did a consultation with a very well known doctor in Toronto and then saw Dr. Shortt. My consultation with Dr. Shortt was so different and made me feel so confident in my decision to proceed with him and his team for my procedures. They were able to give me a cancellation appointment so I got to have my surgery SO quickly. He is personable, funny, genuine and an absolute artist at his craft. I am in awe of my results. My confidence and how I feel is off the charts. My recovery was amazing. The drain free technique he used made it smoother and faster. I was working within a week. 8 weeks later and I am 100% my old self. My bellybutton looks SO natural and cute (a big deal for my procedure). I can’t wait to wear a bikini this summer! His staff are friendly, responsive, and I felt comforatable with every aspect of the process. His pricing is extremely competitive. You may have to wait for a consult but he personally does the consults and seeing how much time he takes it makes sense to me. Thank you so much Dr. Shortt and your team!!!

Dr. Shortt was knowledgeable & patient answering my questions. We are absolutely thrilled with the end result and would recommend him to anyone considering any type of self-improvement surgery.

Dr. Shortt did my breast implant removal. He was extremely professional, going out of his way to make sure all my questions are answered. My results are fantastic and have exceeded my wildest expectations.

I wish I knew how to express in words how amazing I feel after the great results I had with the Abdominoplasty and Gynecomastia performed by Dr. Shortt on June 8th 2017. From the moment I found his profile on Real Self, I knew that he was the perfect surgeon for me. So last October I made the conscious decision to arrange my first consultation with him and I was pleased to find out that my gut instinct was right. At my first appointment Dr Shortt listened carefully and respectfully and when I was done explaining my needs he gave me his professional opinion on what he truly believed I needed. Unlike other doctors, he did not try to sell me many other costly surgeries nor try to convince me to spend unnecessary thousands of dollars. By not trying to over prescribe unnecessary and costly treatments, Dr Shortt showed integrity and earned my trust and respect. After hearing Dr Shortt’s professional opinion, I knew that my journey for the perfect surgeon was over. What I learned through my entire journey and experience with Dr. Shortt is that he is a caring human being, a real artist, and a truly professional surgeon. Dr Shortt displays kindness and concern for his patients. As I worked with him, I could sense his pride and commitment to his profession and his patients. From the beginning to the end, Dr Shortt was there for me. He answered all my questions and gave me his opinion on everything. Even on the day of the surgery he took the time to look a bit more and told me that he would fix something that I had not noticed before due to the excess of skin which was covering the spot that he had mentioned. I am glad that he did because the results are far greater than what I had expected and could have imagined. I feel like a walking master piece. This is true and I sincerely mean it! I love the way my belly looks even though it is still a bit swollen in some areas. My belly button is looking perfect and my chest is definitely looking more firm than before. I had worked out hard all my life, ate well, and took care of my body to keep the weight down, but I could never look as good and feel as awesome as I do right now. I am so glad that I choose to go with Dr Shortt’s expertise, care, and dedication to help me transform into who I truly am. Dr Shortt delivered a perfect surgery, a great look, a most importantly a great amount of inner peace. Throughout the process I felt I was kept very well informed by Dr. Shortt and was given all the necessary information for me to undergo surgery. I followed all the guidelines and listened carefully to his opinion. I am happy that I did because I think every bit helped to deliver Dr. Shortt’s talented master piece on my body. In addition to this I should mention that his professional staff and front desk are a great team and you always feel welcome at his office. Finally I should say that anyone out there looking for a good doctor must not look further. Dr. Shortt will deliver whatever your needs might be. I would totally recommend anyone contemplating this type of surgery arrange a consultation with him and find out for yourself. My experience has been incredible, the results speak for themselves and I am happy that I did take the time and do my research to find the perfect doctor for myself. I am sure you will be in great hands.

I recently had blepharoplasty surgery to removes excess sagging skin around my upper eyelids with Dr Shortt, and I am so pleased. The results are fantastic!! My upper lids are smooth, and I have a more youthful appearance. Dr Shortt is an artist who loves his profession. He is very detailed, patient, and will give you his honest opinion for the best results. I had consulted a few other plastic surgeons prior to meeting Dr Shortt and felt the most comfortable with Dr Shortt. His office staff, and nurses are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Joanne is such a sweetheart! I experienced a little swelling and bruising which is normal with this type of surgery. There was no pain and scars have healed beautifully. If you are considering Dr Shortt do not hesitate for a second, you will be pleased!

I went to Dr. Shortt for breast reconstruction and he was very helpful and very respectful. His manners and the surgery has way exceeded my expectations. He was very knowledgable and gave me many options (as well as took the time to explain each option in detail) and left me to decide which option was best for my situation and comfort. I am beyond pleased with my whole experience with Dr. Shortt and I wouldn’t recommend anyone but him to anyone who wants/needs a breast reconstructive surgery.

I have been seeing Dr. Shortt for Botox treatments for the past few years and every time I walk away wondering how I can help him as much as he helps me so thought I’d take to RateMDs! Dr. Shortt is so caring and is appreciative of my wanting to reduce the lines and time that age has brought while balancing not wanting to look ‘too fake’! He always works with me to achieve the desired outcome and is patient in his approach. Dr. Shortt presents with with all my options and is never sales like or pushy with the options available. He works with his patients based on their individual needs. To top it all off – the staff and colleagues at his office demonstrate the same caring, confidentiality and patience as Dr. Shortt. Things always run smoothly and on time – an experience I do not find at most medical offices today. I would recommend Dr. Shortt to anyone who (like me) was hesitant to see a cosmetic surgeon.

Dr. Shortt has amazing bedside manner, a great sense of humor and is extremely knowledgeable. My husband was previously against the procedure for me and for himself, but after meeting Dr. Shortt, he had lipo as well!! We both look and feel great. It has given us the the look and confidence that we were praying for. This experience has far exceeded all of our expectations. We just love Dr.Shortt and his entire team. They are simply the best.

Dr. Shortt performed liposuction on my abs and flanks. He has an amazing bedside manner and made sure I understood my options and had realistic expectations. I was very comfortable with my decision and the results have far exceeded my expectations. I haven’t looked this great and felt this confident in years! His entire staff has always been pleasant and helpful. I had several consultations in the U.S and Canada but as soon as I met with Dr. Shortt I knew I’d found the right doctor.

The reason for my eyelid surgery was due to my right eyelid drooping. I was very apprehensive about the surgery itself, in terms of what the results will look like and a greater concern was discolouration, due to my brown skin tone. I choose Dr. Shortt due to his extensive experience, education in plastics and professional mannerism. I had encountered Dr. Shortt at Oakville Trafalgar Hospital and the first thing I noticed about him was his disposition, he spoke very calmly and was very attentive. In all my consultations leading up to the surgery Dr. Shortt was very collaborative in discussing the results I wanted and how they would be achieved. He always answered all my questions and concerns and I never felt rushed in my appointments. I had the eyelid surgery and fractional laser under my eyes for the dark circles. My results have been amazing, a natural look was achieved and the dark circles lightened up by about 30%, which means less concealer. Thank you Dr. Shortt, Joanne and the team.

I was diagnose with breast cancer stage 1 in my left breast and had a full mastectomy in 2015. The care I have received along the way has been nothing short of exceptional. I have recently completed reconstructive breast surgery, under the care of Dr. Shortt. When I met him he gave me a number of options and stated what he felt would work best for me. I went away with a lot of information and began online researching pros and cons of each procedures. Dr. Shortt’s confidence made me feel at ease with my decision that was not easy to make. I had decided that Fat Graphing was the best option for me, Dr. Shortt started the process in Aug 2016 and after 4 transfers (waiting 3 months between each procedure) I am now at the final lap. (June 2017). Fat Graphing is taking fat through liposuction from various body area and transferring my own body fat to create a new breast mound. Dr Shortt is very knowledgeable and having such a positive experience with him, I have recommended him to others that are in need of the same services. i am left with very little scarring and an added bonus Dr. Shortt “tweeked” my right breast as well. Now I have one last step and that is to have a 3D nipple tattoo,..can’t wait to see the final results. I am very pleased with our outcome, Dr. Shortt… I can not thank you enough, God bless! J from G’Town

My experience with Dr. Shortt was excellent throughout my pre surgical appointments for mastectomy, during the surgery and post surgery during my recovery and subsequent reconstructive surgery. Dr. Shortt was professional and personable at all times, very direct, thorough and clear in his communication, always taking the time to answer my many questions. Dr. Shortt’s manner is caring and professional, and he was able to put me at ease with the procedures, and with my outcomes. Dr. Shortt’s excellent care and surgical expertise produced great outcomes which exceeded my expectations! Dr. Shortt’s staff is also excellent, attentive and caring, ensuring good communication throughout my procedures and numerous appointments.

I had a brachioplasty (arm) procedure . Due to a significant weight loss i had excessive upper arm skin, which was removed in this procedure. From the original consultation to pre-surgery, surgery and post surgery, my care was excellent. My interaction with Dr. Shortt and his staff was consistently thoughtful and through and made me confident. No detail was missed. Recovery has been exceptional. i believe my good experience is due to the professionalism of the people involved in my care, Dr. Shortt, Joanne (office Admin) and Kristin (nurse). Further, the success of my surgery and recovery would not be possible without the exceptional professionalism and skills of Dr. Shortt. I am so pleased with the outcome of my surgery and with no regret or hesitation, what so ever, i would highly recommend Dr Shortt. Many thanks to Joanne and Kristin for their support along the way! Your professionalism and warm kindness was very much appreciated. Other staff in the clinic certainly add to my positive experience.

Dr Shortt takes the time to explain everything to you to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Very professional.

Absolutely beautiful results! I couldn’t have chosen a better surgeon for breast augmentation and lift. He made me cry I was so happy!

I just have to say that Dr. Rodger Shortt did exactly what he said he would do to remove the tissue which was left after I lost sixty four pounds fifteen years ago. The skin under the overhang if tissue was always very red and burned and did not heal no matter what cream I put on it. I am so pleased with the results of my surgery and the after care is very good and the Dr is very attentive. I am a former surgical nursed and would recommend his and his clinic to any one whom asked me. Total satisfaction.

I heard Dr. Shortt speak at the BRA (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) event in September 2014. I opted for a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, March 2014. What a journey! After meeting with other plastic surgeons to learn about their breast reconstruction methods, I opted to go with Dr. Shortt’s bilateral breast DIEP reconstruction which used my own tissue (fat) – April 2016. The results were good; I was happy to have breasts again but there was more he felt could be done to make them even more natural. In April 2017, he removed the flap and created nipples. Instead of having cat-eye scars on each breast, there is only one now. Indeed, an incredible improvement. Dr. Shortt takes incredible pride in his work and valued having a relationship with me. Having cancer was enough of an experience; I waffled between anger and gratitude – anger because cancer mutilated my body and gratitude because my breasts could be removed and I was living to tell the tale. It would have been easy to just live with wearing prosthesis however when I thought back to the BRA event and hearing the stories of other woman who had their breasts reconstructed, I found the inspiration I needed to face another doctor and more surgeries. Happy to say it’s all behind me now. Dr. Shortt’s presentation at the BRA event, his dedication to perfecting breast reconstruction surgical techniques and his ability to relate to people is extraordinary. Also, a shout-out to Joanne who was easy to connect with via email and responded quickly to questions or concerns. They make a good team!

From the moment I spoke with Dr. Shortt, I knew I had made the right decision in choosing Briarwood Cosmetic. For some time now, I have wanted to refresh my appearance but was unsure of what to do, what was possible or even where to begin! I was feeling quite nervous and anxious, but with his calm demeanour, Dr. Shortt quickly made me feel at ease and walked me through my options. In the end, we agreed that a non surgical laser treatment would help achieve my goal. I could not be more pleased with the results!!! My face is free of sun damage and spots… I feel (and look) 10 years younger!!! Thank you Dr. Shortt

We should all be so lucky to have an incredible plastic surgeon such as Dr Shortt. The moment you consult with him, you feel at ease. His sense of humour, patience, knowledge and honesty is truly within a league of its own. I had a Belkyra treatment performed by Dr Shortt – this was to minimize the appearance of the excess fat in my chin (something that has always bothered me). With a minimally invasive procedure the results were far beyond my expectations, I no longer feel the need to cover the lower part of my face – such a confidence boost! I am finally photogenic! My only regret is that I did not connect with Dr Shortt sooner. I highly recommend this phenomenal surgeon! The Briarwood team is very experienced and understanding, such a comfortable environment. Thank you, I can’t wait to come back!

I had Septoplasty surgery and it was done very well; no scars and healing was fast. I can breath properly and smell very well now. Thank you Dr. Shortt

Dr. Shortt was professional and was able to put my mind at ease for my procedure through his likable demeanor. He explained all the aspects and risks in a way that I could understand easily. His staff was also extremely helpful and friendly. After the operation, he was always available for any questions or concerns I may have had. He truly is a talented doctor. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel like I’ve been brought back in time 20 years, all thanks to Dr. Shortt 🙂

Very pleased with Dr.Shortt. I had ablation to my face on Nov.10 and I am very pleased with the results. He is very professional, kind, you really feel at ease and make you trust him. I will recommend him to anyone who think having any plastic procedure. My husband made an appointment with him for liposuction in April 2017. THANK YOU DR. SHORTT

Such an amazing Dr.!!! listens to what you’re looking to achieve and explains everything in detail. Really took his time guiding me through my process of having a tummy tuck and fat transfer to breasts. I’d go back for any future treatments in a heartbeat. Thank you Dr. Shortt and your wonderful staff

I saw Dr. Shortt in regards to a rhinoplasty and deviated septum. I had met with Dr. Shortt for a number of consultations and each time he was sure to hear all my concerns and hopes for the surgery and made sure I felt comfortable with the surgery. I am so pleased with the results and how well everything healed! I couldn’t be happier and Dr. Shortt did a great job.

Excellent doctor, friendly staff. He removed a BCC off my nose that healed amazingly . Another issue was removing a keratosis that left no scarring . I recommended Dr Shortt to all my friends.

I recently had a facial seborrhoeic keratosis (age spot) removed by Dr. Shortt. For both the consultation and the procedure itself, the staff was friendly and the doctor was punctual, taking the time to explain everything to me. Most importantly, the result of the procedure was fantastic. Even though the spot was near my hairline, the healing process went well, I could wash my hair, and there is no scarring. I would definitely recommend Dr. Shortt.

Dr. Shortt performed a full face laser skin rejuvenation procedure on me back in July. I am writing to say how extremely pleased I am with the outcome. He has taken 15 years off my appearance. When having a procedure done on your face, it can be very frightening. However, Dr. Shortt and his staff are very professional, reassuring, warm and kind. I will recommend him to all my girlfriends!! Thank you Dr. Shortt.

After months of researching and meeting with different plastic surgeons in both Toronto and Oakville, I finally found the right match for me Dr Shortt!! My consultation with Dr Shortt was in regards to a droopy eye lid. Dr Shortt was professional, knowledgeable, kind and very patient. He took a lot of time explaining all my options and made me feel very reassured with my decision. I am already looking forward to my next apt with him. So glad I found his practice, and will refer all my friends to him in the future.

I was rushed to hospital for pretty well a amputated thumb & finger damage from a table saw injury. Dr short & his team managed to reattach my thumb & repair all nerve damage surgically. It’s been 5 months now & thanks to all involed have the use of my left hand. Just fantastic to see what was done to repair hand & would like to express my gratitude. In closing, exceptional in all fields from start to finish. Thanks to Dr. Shortt that my thumb & fingers were saved. As in all cases credit must also be shared, shared with his whole team that were involved. Thanks & would recommend Dr Shortt to anyone in the future.

THANK YOU! After being diagnosed with early stage breast cancer at age 50 during a routine mammogram, I chose to have a mastectomy and simultaneous breast reconstruction with Dr. Shortt. From the beginning, I was grateful for the professional, diligent and cooperative nature of his staff as well as Dr. Shortt working with the general surgeon to expedite the initial surgery and ensure the best possible outcome. Having now attended my final post-operative check up, I am filled with an enormous sense of gratitude. Since our first consultation in 2015, Dr. Shortt has conducted 3 surgeries to reconstruct my left breast, augment the right to ensure a reasonable match, and reconstruct the left nipple. Over 19 months, 4 surgeries and multiple pre- and post-op appointments, I have only positive feedback on Dr. Shortt and his staff. He and his team are professional, methodical, efficient, warm, calm, and approachable. As a bonus, the good doctor’s sense of humour and levity made my…

I saw Dr Shortt for Botox and Juvaderm injections a few weeks a go. The entire experience was enjoyable including the end result. I found the staff friendly and approachable. Dr Shortt answered my questions and put me at ease. It was wonderful to have a doctor with such a great sense of humour. I was concerned my appearance would look unnatural but I am so pleased. I feel I appear more rested, lighter and more youthful. I would recommend Dr Shortt to all my friends and family. Thank you Dr Shortt!

Dr. Shortt performed a breast reduction on me in July. I have to say that I was very impressed with the whole process. Dr. Shortt and his entire staff were very knowledgeable and helpful through the whole process. The surgery went very well with exceptional results. I would recommend Dr. Shortt to any of my friends or relatives without hesitation. He made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions, as well as his staff. The after care was also great.

Dr. Shortt is a great physician. As a physician, I can attest to his great communication and surgical skills. I brought my mother to him to remove a skin lesion on her face. Dr. Shortt explained the surgery, thoroughly answered her questions and was great with her. My mother felt very comfortable with his care. Now two weeks after the surgery, there is no evidence of the lesion and she is very happy with the cosmetic result. Thanks Dr. Shortt for the great outcome and care that you provided.

Dr. Shortt, did by breast reduction surgery and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I met with several surgeons before deciding on Dr. Shortt. I felt that he was the most approachable and respectful. He asked me what was important to me (shape, size etc) and then delivered exactly what I had wanted. My post-surgery recuperation was extremely fast. If I had any suggestion for improvement, it would be to have a better understanding of what to expect on the day of surgery. In hindsight, I should have asked more questions as it would have helped me feel more prepared, but in my case everything went extremely smoothly and there really was nothing to do.

Dr Shortt is an amazing doctor, he was very pleasant and explained everything that needed to be done to replace my 22 year old breast implants. He was also very patient with me as I was quite apprehensive about the procedure. I felt very reassured right up until he put the music on in the operating room. It has been four weeks since the procedure and I feel great. He made them look even more real than the ones he removed. The size was perfect as he checked a few sizes to make sure that they looked natural. Thank you Dr. Shortt you are a very caring and talented doctor.

Dr Shortt removed a mole from my face and cholesterol deposits from my eyelids. He explained in detail the procedure beforehand. He was very professional and knowledgable. I was worried about the work being so close to my eyes but it was not a problem. I arrived at the office and was seen on time – or maybe even a few minutes before. Dr. Shortt was very friendly and he and his whole team made me very comfortable and were constantly checking in with me throughout the procedure. They asked me several times if I was feeling any pain and in fact did not at any time. It one time I started to feel a bit chilly, so they brought me a blanket! He exceeded my expectations. I am so happy with the results and highly recommend Dr. Shortt.

Dr. Shortt performed a tummy tuck on me after I had lost a significant amount of weight. Throughout the entire process of evaluation through to follow-ups, Dr. Shortt impressed me with his expertise, professionalism, kindness, generosity, attention to detail, and humour. He made me feel very comfortable, even though I am rather shy about my body. He is a wonderful doctor, does does fantastic work, and is lovely person in general. I had my last appointment with him this morning, and I will miss him. His support staff are also very kind and helpful, and there have even been occasions where I was early and able to see him before my scheduled appointment. I recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Dr. Shortt removed a keratosis from my face. The procedure was painless, it healed with no issues and I was even going to cancel my follow up appointment because I could barely see where it had been removed. All of my expectations were exceeded, and his timeliness, professionalism and sense of humour were just the icing on the cake. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Shortt. His staff also met all expectations and were very helpful.

Dr. Shortt removed an ugly mole from my face that had started to grow larger over the last year. His sense of humour made me feel instantly at ease. He took the time to explain my options and exactly what to expect during the procedure. There was hardly any discomfort during the procedure, and none afterwards. When he removed the bandage one week later I was VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED that there was no scab and no redness. I will definitely recommend Dr. Shortt to family and friends.

This summer I had a tummy tuck and thigh lift at Briarwood. I am more than thrilled! Dr Shortt is amazing in all aspects of care; his attention to detail, his compassion, his bedside manner and his marvelous sense of humour. I did my homework beforehand and knew he was top-rated, but he exceeded in all areas. Staff at the clinic are friendly, professional and helpful. Many thanks!!!!!

My experience with Dr. Shortt was amazing . I had a breast reduction. He is an great plastic surgeon that is and perfectionist. I am very pleased. Thank you, Dr Shortt

My experience with Doctor shortt was no less than amazing. From consultation to post op he was professional and friendly in every manner. His staff dealt with every question I asked in a timely and professional manner and I am more than satisfied with my experience. In the future I will always go to him even though he is hours away, because of the great experience. I have already and will continue to refer friends and family to him. If you want a reliable and professional Doctor than he is the one to go to.

I have met Dr Shortt while looking for a surgeon who specialises in breast surgeries. Right from the start he made me feel at ease – he took the time to understand my case, explained my options, the procedure, what to expect, after care, etc. I am a member of the Realself and came in with my ‘homework’ done: a very large number of questions, which he patiently answered. Throughout all this he was very professional and knowledgeable, friendly and personable at the same time. Not for a second did I feel rushed or that my questions or concerns were dismissed – very different from my previous experience with other (highly rated) surgeons. Shortly after meeting with him I decided he was the surgeon I felt met all my requirements and we scheduled the surgery for the fall. During follow up discussions with Dr Shortt and while waiting for my surgery day, I learned he also specialises in ‘lumps and bumps’ – I had a growth on the side of my nose that was removed 3 times previously and kept…

Omg, totally had the most amazing surgeon patient experience. Totally rocked and looked like something out of my fave medical show Grey’s anatomy without all the sensual stuff of course. Anyways had a Pyogenic Flexor Tenosynovitis (Doc, i hope I was listening right) and went to emerg at CVH. Well they had to call in the big guns and Dr Shortt came within the hour and we set to work. He made the whole operation go so easy, he was friendly, chatted with me during the op, which kept me relaxed. Guess what I even had music- Jazz (Glory, Hallelujah) with Boze speakers (we later joked that the patients in adjoining rooms would be going, why does she get music and we don’t?). He was very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, explained the procedure to me, had a great sense of humor and did a wonderful cleanup job. I had no doubts that I was in very capable hands. Having a follow up with him soon and I’m confident that this will be no different. So here you have it, Dr Shortt, i think you…

I had a breast reduction and lift in January of this year I am now 6 months post op and I am absolutely in love with dr shortts work!! He is an amazing plastic surgeon that is a huge perfectionist with an a type personality which is perfect if you want an amazing outcome!! His bedside manner is spot on and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best plastic surgeon!! I will only see him from now on for any of my plastic surgical needs!!

An amazing doctor, professional and knowledgeable. He performed a facial surgery (damaged skin due to excessive sun exposure). Awesome result! The staff is great! Thank you Dr. Shortt

I just finished my final post op check up and must share my experience. Dr. Shortt reconstructed my breast, removed due to a radical mastectomy. When I first lost my breast I was brave and accepting and didn’t realize the effect it had on me until Dr. Shortt gave me a new one. He is methodical and detailed and certainly inspired confidence. He has a calm, confident bedside manner and is extremely approachable. I would and have extolled his praises and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr. Shortt for letting me feel like a woman again and thanks to your wonderful staff.

Awesome doctor! He performed a minor surgery on my forehead that could have left a noticeable scar. He advised me of post operative care that I could do at home and now my scar isn’t even noticeable. Love, love, love the care this guy and his staff give! Highly recommend him.

Master Piece of Art!!!! Recently Dr. Shortt did double breast reconstruction for me, and the results are outstanding !!! He has a great bed side manner and full of knowledge and talent. As well, his office staff are amazing! He’s definitely the Man!!

I recently had some noninvasive cosmetic work by Dr. Shortt and I am extremely satisfied and pleased with the results. He listened to my concerns closely and then offered his opinion. The results are natural looking and I look refreshed. The office is very nice giving off a sense of tranquility. I would highly recommend Dr. Shortt for any types of Cosmetic or Reconstruction surgery that one may need or want. Very professional knowledgable with a great sense of humour which I liked as it put me at ease. I rate him 5 stars.

I had a consultation with Dr. Shortt regarding excision of a lipoma that was slow growing for over 10 years. This lipoma was on the back of my head just above my neck. This lipoma bothered me not in a cosmetic fashion because it was under my hair. It just hurt, it throbbed, it would swell and it would get warm. I had many, many referrals sent out over the years to different surgeons and plastic surgeons. Always rejected! Not Dr. Shortt. He took the time, explained everything to me and my husband and he removed it in the office. Lots of freezing, the excision took about an hour. He was very gentle. He is a very nice young man, speaks in a very gentle manner and doesn’t make you self conscious in any way. The procedure was a success. I had three follow up visits. Dr. Shortt is definitely my “go to” first choice surgeon in the future. Thank you again Dr. Shortt!!

Dr. Shortt is a wonderful surgeon! He removed a small growth from my forehead that I felt was unsightly. This was a strictly cosmetic procedure. You can’t even see the scar! I’m thrilled! He’s got a wonderful personality, tells you what you can expect and how to manage post-operatively. I highly recommend Dr. Shortt.

Dr Shortt is a very skilled and talented surgeon! I was born with very asymmetrical breasts, one was about an A cup and the other a DD cup. This has affected my self confidence for as long as I can remember, but I was lucky to find Dr. Shortt. He was helpful, informative and gave me the best options that would benefit me. He performed the surgery, and right away I felt great. My breasts healed quickly and beautifully, and I entirely attribute this to Dr. Shortt’s hard and dedicated work. He changed my life, and today I am so confident and happy with the results, he is an amazing surgeon, and I would recommend him to any individual. His work is precise and has left me with beautiful results

Dr Shortt is a great guy and a great Surgeon. He performed a surgery on me that was covered by OHIP…. A lot of Dr’s would not do it because they don’t get paid a lot for it. He did it for me, and has changed my life for the better (more then he will know!). He is a person of integrity and he is a very gifted surgeon…my scar was done with great care and is healing very well…thanks Dr. Shortt!

I had extreme damage in my right arm – my tendons were completely cut and I was unable to use my arm at all. After thinking I would never be able to work in my passion again, Dr Shortt did an incredible job with repairing all damage done in my hand. I have him to thank for being able to do what I love everyday, baking and running my business. I am extremely grateful to his kind service and the wonderful outcome he provided for me. I absolutely recommend Dr Shortt to everyone!

I had plastic surgery 6 months ago to remove basal cell cancer on my forehead, just above my eyebrow. The skin isn’t doesn’t stretch too much in that area, but Dr. Shortt did a great job. He saved most of my eyebrow and you can hardly see my scar. He really does care about his work and his patients. I would highly recommend him. Thank you

I had surgery to remove basal cell cancer in and just above my eyebrow. Dr. Shortt had not much to work with because being that part of your forehead,, the skin isn’t very stretchy. He did wonders. I have most of my eyebrow and even just 6 months later, you can hardly see the scar. He did an amazing job. He made you feel at ease and answered all your questions. You really felt that he cared about you and how you would look. Thank you!

An amazing doctor, professional and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Had Ulnar nerve surgery 4 months ago with Dr Shortt, he undersold and over delivered. Everything went extremely well, he and his staff are really great, and my quality of life is much improved… Thanks!!!

Wow this man is amazing. Stong reviews, after seeing local docs, decided to travel out of town to meet the BEST. Very good choice. This Doctor cares and listens and educates his patients about their options. I had breast cancer, lumpectomy forcing right nipple to about under my armpit. Dr. Shortt is professional, caring, qualified excellent at his work, a perfectionist and a true artist. My surgery results where amazing. His staff is awesome and caring and very helpful. I can not thank his team enough. Divorce, breast cancer, chemo, radiation really took a toll on my self esteem. Thank you so much for helping me end that chapter of my life on a positive note. Truely feel like a woman again.

There is God then there is Dr. Shortt. He boosted my self confidence and made me feel feminine again. After having a radical bilateral mastectomy in November 2012, and many reconstructive surgeries and procedures. My surgical oncologist, suggested I see Dr. Shortt, well I cannot thank him enough. From speaking with Joanne and her kind helpful, demeanor, I new I had been sent to the right place. Dr. Shortt was always prompt, professional and put me to ease about the surgeries he would perform. Having Breast cancer at the young age of 44 and a newly single lady with a Beautiful daughter. I wanted to not only be healthy to be here for her, but I needed to feel good again about myself. Thanks to Dr. Shortt and his superb, precise work, I feel and look good again. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. DSP

After having a terrible experience with the first attempt to fix my deviated septum, I was incredibly afraid and nervous to try again. Not being able to breathe well brought me in to see Dr. Shortt. He was incredibly understanding and went out of his way to explain each part of the process to me. After deciding to go ahead with a septoplasty with Dr. Shortt, he made sure I felt comfortable about everything that was going to happen. He did an amazing job with the surgery and my breathing has substantially improved…not to mention I have an almost invisible scar from the procedure. He did a great job, and his after care was fantastic as well. Joanna, Dr. Shortt’s assistant, is amazing and always available to help answer any questions or concerns you may have. I would not only consider having another procedure with Dr.Shortt, but would recommend him to all family and friends.

Dr. Shortt is always professional and courteous. I wanted a very natural result and that’s exactly what I got. I couldn’t be more happy with my results. I have received both Botox and Juvederm to soften lines and re-gain natural volume in my lips. No one believes my age when I tell them, in fact many think I’m at least 10 years younger than I am. That is thanks to Dr. Shortt!

I had two “problems” removed from my legs. Both required stitches and I have NEVER seen such perfectly done work. It’s only been 6 weeks since my surgery and I can’t even see the scars. I now tell everyone about Dr.Shortt!!

I found Dr. Shortt up front, courteous and professional. Although I have earned my wrinkles, I wanted them softened and not completely taken away leaving me with no expression. Dr. Shortt did not conform to the pressures of overuse in Botox as many do. He gave me great results that allows me to still have expression and softer lines to make it look natural.

Professional, reassuring, felt comfortable receiving treatment, developed trust to know that I am in good hands, will go back to see again.

Skillful surgeon, did a great job doing both my carpal tunnel problems. He is a very good at his job and has a great personality as well. He takes his time explaining before and after. I would not hesitate if I needed his services again.

Thanks to Dr. Shortt, so long carpal tunnel syndrome! I’m an artist and the pain in my hands prevented me from being able to draw for prolonged periods. I can’t believe how much better they are now. Excellent service from all involved; great bedside manner and not what I consider long waits –PLUS, I was able to have my right hand done six months sooner due to a cancellation. Thank you Dr. Shortt and staff!

Dr. Shortt is a very professional and kind doctor. He understood everything about my situation and seemed very eager and happy to help me. Aside from his excellent expertise, Dr. Shortt is also a great person with an awesome personality. Can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Shortt and the staff working there. Thank you so much for everything!

Dr Shortt is a professional doctor with an appropriate sense of humor. From the first appointment to the surgical follow ups, I was impressed with his work on my breast reduction. The experience was excellent, and I would highly recommend him as a plastic surgeon.

You are an amazing man. Thanks for helping me cope with post breast cancer. I know you are not paid enough for by ohip I appreciate how you helping my quality of life. Thanks again. Btw your staff is awesome!!

Had a basal cancer removed from my lip. No scar. Fabulous operation. Couldn’t be happier.

I’m a young woman who went through a double mastectomy and had severe scarring. He finished my reconstruction and helped me feel whole again when others told me they couldn’t help me. He truly cares about his patients.

I have nothing but positive feedback regarding Dr. Shortt. He performed excess auxillary breast tissue removal from under both my arms. He did a great job and paid attention to make sure no scars were left for all to see. Thanks again.

After having Cancer removed from my Nose I was left with Holes & Scaring, I was referred to Dr. Shortt who repaired my Nose by removing the Scaring and left my Nose looking normal again. At all Dr. Shortt was extremely Caring, & Provided Full Information. Dr Shortt was Thoroughly Professional.
Many Thanks Dr. Shortt

Can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Shortt. He performed a breast reduction and liposuction on me and throughout the entire process and follow up appointments he was kind, informative, thorough and generally awesome :). Surgeons sometimes lack the approachability that Dr. Shortt shares with his patients and I am more than delighted with the results. Nice to enjoy the summer feeling great in T Shirts again :).

I am grateful to have found Dr. Shortt to perform my surgery. He is professional, kind, caring and friendly. He is knowledgeable and diligent.
He changed my life. I feel like a new person. He gave me back my self esteem. He motivated me to start thinking of a new life. I am extremely happy with my breast reduction. The operation went smoothly. Afterward no discomfort or problems and mostly him and his friendly office staff helped me in recovery period. I am very happy. I regret that I did not do this earlier. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Dr.Shortt. I am grateful to you for the rest of my life.

I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer in October 2010. After 6 rounds of Chemo, a double mastectomy and 25 rounds of radiation, I went to see Dr. Shortt. I was tired of having inserts in my bra and worrying about other people seeing the inserts if I wore a blouse that was slightly revealing. Dr. Shortt almost rejected me as my skin was so badly damaged from the radiation. However, he took me on as a patient. In my surgery I had muscle from my back moved to my left side of my chest to help build the breast, skin from my back was also used. I also had tissue expanders inserted. Once I was happy with my cup size from the saline injections , I waited 3 months to have the last part of surgery completed. This involved taking out the tissue expanders and replacing them with the implants. I am very happy with the results. Dr. Shortt is a perfectionist and a compassionate person. Thank you!

I had a breast reduction done and am very happy with the results of the operation.
Dr. Rodger Shortt is very good at giving out all the ins and outs ( information of procedure, side effects and recovery ). He has a bedside manner that is short and straight to point… he answers all questions and makes you feel comfortable about his procedure and answers.
There is a slight waiting time. but isn’t there with any doctor or specialist..
I would reccomend Dr. Shortt to anyone.

I am a breast cancer patient who had reconstruction surgery due to a mastectomy. Dr.Shortt performed a reduction, lift, and reshape on the other breast to match the implant. He did a great job. I am now a middle age woman with perky breasts. I am very pleased and highly recommend Dr. Shortt.

Dr. Shortt is truly a professional and expert plastic surgeon. His personality and bedside manner put you at ease. He ensures you are well informed regarding your options and procedure. He gives honest advise and answers all questions thoroughly to ensure you are comfortable with your final decision. All the staff are very attentive at Briarwood Cosmetic Surgical Centre. I highly recommend Dr. Rodger Shortt!

About 2 years ago I woke up and decided I had to make a change. I lost 85 pounds . As much as this was great I was left with lots of flabby skin and droopy breasts. I saw a couple different surgeons but decided to go ahead with Dr Shortt after getting to know him. He was the most honest Dr and really gave me the straight goods on what could or could not be done. I had a mommy makeover with a tummy tuck and a breast lift. I couldn’t be more pleased. The results are a transformation beyond my dreams. In addition to the surgery I really can’t say enough about his bedside manner. He was so relaxed and funny. He was also there for me whenever I needed to talk (which was a lot before surgery) and followed me carefully afterwards. I would highly rank this doctor.

When I was diagnosed with a melanoma I was sent to see Dr Shortt. It was my lucky day. I felt like I had been blindsided with the diagnosis and he put me immediately at ease. The surgery was scheduled and his kind, caring demeanor made a very anxious situation manageable. He is truly a perfectionist. Although I wasn’t concerned about a scar he insisted it would be the best it could be. I have such a sense of confidence in this surgeon and would recommend him most highly. You do not need to look any further than Dr Shortt.

Dr. Shortt is not only a perfectionist, but he takes the time to make his patients feel at ease while dealing with a sometimes uncomfortable situation. The quality of his work is exceptional! He is there to answer any questions from the first consult to post op. I highly recommend Dr. Shortt and will be sure to go back to him!

I had a breast reduction four months ago with Dr. Shortt. I am extremely happy with the results. He was upfront with me from the first appointment, saying that my breasts were not as large as he usually saw in his practice, and he wasn’t sure that I would get the result that I was looking for. Even right after the surgery with all the dressings on, I could tell that I the results were more than I had hoped for! I was quite nervous, and he was very reassuring, but at the same time, open about all the possible complications. I had a couple of minor issues, and he was available quickly to deal with these; he even met me in ER to make sure that I was okay. The staff members at the clinic were all very attentive and kind. A special thanks to Joanne, who was my main contact person. She was very helpful. I am thrilled with my new breasts – no more back and neck pain, and they look great! I would recommend Dr. Shortt and his clinic staff in a hearbeat!

I had a breast reduction just 2 months ago with Dr. Shortt. Right from my first appointment I found the staff to be very kind and caring. It was so nice to be treated like a person which isn’t always the case at a doctor’s office. Dr. Shortt was always punctual and gave me all the information I needed and answered all my questions in a very comfortable atmosphere. I am so happy with the results. My breasts were very large and now are just right. The surgery went perfectly smooth with no problems at all. The healing process went very well too. Everything about the whole experience was extremely positive and so much less painful and scary than I expected….mostly thanks to Dr. Shortt. He is kind, caring, very articulate and knowledgeable. Makes you feel very comfortable and confident in his care. I couldn’t ask for anything better.

Dr Shortt preformed my Bilateral Brest Reduction and I am SO happy with the results. He was so professional and helpful right from the start. The day of surgery he was supportive and listened to my concerns and most importantly what I hoped for as a result. The result WELL exceeded my expectations and I am thrilled. The nurses and his team are so friendly and really helped me every step of the way. I would recommend Dr Shortt and his team 100%.

I had a single mastectomy in 2012. . My mother had five failed implants by another doctor so I didn’t want to go there. My sister had a flap with an implant that she was pleased with but her doctor moved. I heard about Dr Shortt from my cancer support group and saw his results. I had a DIEP flap with only my skin and fat. He just put the finishing touches on his June surgery with a nipple and fat grafting to smooth the edge out last week. What FABULOUS RESULTS. Even my 21 year old daughter said “Mom, that looks normal” There is no higher praise. Thank-you so much D.r Shortt.

I had Breast Cancer in 2010 and had a mastectomy. I thought I had no options until a doctor friend of mine suggested to make an appointment with Dr. Shortt. He’s very professional and had answered all my questions. One word to describe him : “Perfectionist”. If you are looking for someone to put you at ease and have remarkable results, he’s the one. No disappointments! Love him.

Dr Shortt is a perfectionist! He is kind, caring and amazing at what he does. Had reconstructive surgery with him and the care I received was amazing. He is knowledgeable, and most importantly he is realistic and very thorough. If any female needs reconstructive surgery in the area, don’t bother Dr shopping… He is the one to go to.

I had a great experience with him, fantastic surgeon!

Performed surgery on my lip . It was painless with no scar Thanks

I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck 3 weeks ago and even with the expected post op swelling and recovery time I am totally thrilled. Dr. Shortt is confident , thorough and caring. He spent hours over multiple appointments answering questions and discussing procedures and options. He is a very talented surgeon with a wonderful sense of humor that made me very comfortable before and after surgery. My breasts are tiny and beautiful. My stomach and belly button look better than when I was 20. I’ve never had a 6 pack even when I hit the gym 4 times a week. I do now. He will have improved my life.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 26. I underwent a bi-lateral mastectomy to implants with a different doctor as I did not know Dr. Shortt at the time. I was having issues with the appearance of my scars as well as rippling. My doctor recommended Dr. Shortt and he assured me he is the best. Indeed he is! Not only is Dr. Shortt a caring, compassionate and personable doctor, he is also extremely knowledgeable and exceptionally skilled. He performed fat transfer and scar revision surgery on me. He explained the procedure in detail and took his time going over all my questions and concerns. On the day of surgery he made me feel so comfortable and even phoned me later that day to see how I was doing. The results were amazing!!! I am soon undergoing another surgery with him for nipple reconstruction. He is so patient and does not settle for less than perfection. I am so glad to have met Dr. Shortt and thanks to him I can once again feel confident about my body which at one point…

Dr. Shortt performed a breast reduction on me in September.He has to be one of the best doctors I have every dealt with. Professional and caring. Explained everything to me in detail and was such a great support the day of my surgery. I would highly recommend him.

I went to see Dr Shortt because two of my friends raved about him. I am really glad that I did. He was methodical and efficient. He pointed out several things I never thought of. He gave me lots of options but did not hesitate to indicate why he felt one was better than another. I had my breasts lifted with just a little reduction. They are more beautiful than I ever hoped for. The scars are almost invisible. He may not have as much experience (or arrogance) as some plastic surgeons but he has a gift. You will not be disappointed. I strongly recommend him. He (and his staff -nurse and secretary) really far exceeded my expectations.

What an amazing doctor that I recommend extremely highly. He took his time to carefully explain all my options and the benefits and downside to each. I never felt that he was pushing me into anything but rather was there to provide a professional opinion so that I could make the choice that was right for me. My tummy tuck results are amazing. I went to him because of his reputation for an amazing tummy tuck and perfect belly button. He has lived up to that reputation. Anyone looking for a caring, compassionate plastic surgeon should really see Dr Shortt. He is great.

Dr Shortt has performed 2 basal cell surgeries on my face in the last year and a half, and i have to say that he is one of the best dr’s I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He’s so easy to talk to and answers any questions you have for him. His bedside manner is impeccable. I was petrified going into surgery for the first time and he made me feel at complete ease throughout the whole ordeal. And the scar on my face, while being about 2 inches long is barely visible at all. I’ve never had to wait over 10 minutes for any of my appointments with him, and Jenna at his reception desk is awesome! I would highly recommend Dr Shortt and would never hesitate to go to him again if necessary. Awesome Dr.!!

Dr. Shortt did the surgery on my hand after breaking my 4th metacarpal. I am extremely pleased with how everything went, I am happy to say I will be able to use my hand fully in no time. He was very kind and helpful.

An awesome surgeon and great fellow. From Day 1 he’s been very helpful and supportive. His assistant and my nurse with him are amazing. The whole team is there for you through everything. I felt confident in his care as he was with me going into surgery, giving me his support and through the months that have followed. I feel very lucky to have had him as my surgeon.

Dr. Shortt performed a bilateral breast reduction May 2013 following a right lumpectomy in December 2011. I was diagnosed in 2011 by Dr. Kealey with a very large breast mass called PASH. From the moment I walked into their office I had full confidence in their team. Dr. Shortt was very thorough and understanding. He has an amazing bed side manner, making you feel immediately comfortable. Upon seeing him in the hospital , I felt at complete ease. Even before the surgery in the operating room, I was felt safe and confident. I cannot say enough about Dr. Shortt. If you are looking for a caring, warm surgeon, you have the perfect doctor. Thank you to the staff as well. Having been referred to another doctor with no bed side manner whatsoever it was a pleasure to have a doctor take the time to explain every detail and then be so pleased with the final result. Thank you Dr. Shortt.

It is with great pleasure and confidence to refer Dr. Rodger Shortt to anyone who’s looking for a trustworthy M.D., F.R.C.S.C, who knows the latest technologies in surgical procedures and is naturally sincere, realistic and compassionate. As his patient, I’m comfortable discussing my concerns with him and I’m certain that my concerns are always his priority. He made the challenges of my situation look flawless. I’d also like to add that the staff of receptionists and nurses working in Dr. Shortt’s office make it a warm and welcoming environment. My sincere thanks.

I received very professional and dedicated services. I was well informed and assisted so I could take the best decisions for myself. All steps were completed with great expertise. The results are life changing for me and are reaching way beyond the physical aspects of the treatments performed. Thank you for your excellent services – which I recommended to anyone looking for changes to occurred in a safe and expert manner.

I was referred to Dr.Shortt and I can’t say enough good things about him from the initial consult to the end result. I was a little nervous about the procedure but he took the time to explain it to me along with the healing process. He was very caring, a good listener and reassuring. He is very compassionate about what he does and it shows through his dedication to his patients. My surgery was the Thursday before Good Friday and he took the time out of his day to call me to see how I was doing the following day. I was very surprised but again it’s a testament to his commitment to his patients from start to finish. I recently had my last follow-up and he advised me that if I had any further questions or concerns down the road not to hesitate to contact him. Dr.Shortt is a very intelligent and well respected doctor in his field. I have already recommended him to others and may be seeing him again in the fall. Thank you Dr.Shortt I couldn’t be happier with the results!!

Dr. Shortt performed a breast reduction on me. I am very pleased with the result. He is easy to talk to, proffesional and very skilled. I would highly recommend this doctor.

I have been dealing with Dr Shortt from September 2011 until April 2012. A very easy Doctor to talk discuss options with. Innovative ideas, great work and a beautiful final result.

I had seen Dr. Shortt about 2x for a consultation for my upcoming Double Mastectomy AND immediate DIEP Tram Replacement. He is very polite & professional and he is “easy” to talk to. His receptionist Jenna is AWSOME young lady.

I had surgery on my breasts. My GP says it is the best she has seen. I love how I look. He is AMAZING and so nice.
