Private Clinics vs. Hospitals

If you are considering undergoing cosmetic plastic surgery of any sort, deciding where to have it performed is your next step. A private clinic may be your best and safest option. Dr. Sanjeev Kaila recommends that the private clinic be fully accredited by the Canadian Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities Inc (CAAASF).
Private clinics are the most efficient alternative to a public hospital when having cosmetic surgical procedures. Although public hospitals are safe, they generally do not have a focus towards cosmetic plastic surgery and the cosmetic surgery expertise may be lacking. A CAAASF accredited private clinic ensures patients that they will receive top quality (with an emphasis on safety) in an environment designed for their optimal comfort.


A private clinic is beneficial to the patient for many reasons. A CAAASF accredited clinic must meet (and may possibly exceed) specific standards such as having a Royal College of Surgeons of Canada qualified surgeon to perform any surgical or non-surgical procedure. As well, any procedure requiring anesthesia must be administered by a board certified anesthesiologist. The environment must also be fully equipped with an operating suite and include necessary equipment to perform any procedure. The environment and surgery setting must be prepared for proper emergency evacuation in the event of fire or power outages.
A private clinic will protect you from any problems associated with surgery and provide you with the utmost safety and patient standard care set forth by the CAAASF. By choosing the proper private clinic, you’ll be ensuring the facility meets all standards and guidelines necessary for your surgery. Contact Dr. Sanjeev Kaila at the Bluewater Surgical Centre for answers to any questions you may have on your surgery – you’ll be glad you asked!
