As surgeons, we feel incredibly privileged to have received our surgical training in Canada -- which is amongst the best in the world. We are dedicated to giving back to both our home and our global community. Volunteering in developing countries with the charitable health organizations Health for Humanity, Operation Smile, and Operation Rainbow has given us the opportunity to use our skills as surgeons to help both little children and adults who suffer from easily correctable conditions but who would not otherwise get treated because they don’t have access to the necessary healthcare.
It is incredibly gratifying to know that we have given a child a chance at a normal and productive life just by repairing what in Canada would be only a minor deformity.
