Unlike many "medi-spa clinics", where you will never even meet a physician, at the Baywood Clinic there is always a physician on-site, providing your consultations and personally peforming or directly supervising your treatment.
Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Medicine are serious medical treatments - you can trust our experience and count on our commitment to caring for you as your physicians.The Baywood Clinic is regularly featured in the media (The Toronto Star, The National Post, The Life Network, CBC Radio). The Doctors perform over 5000 laser and cosmetic surgery treatments every year.
