I thought I would take a few moments to reflect on these last 10 years, and I thought I should share those thoughts with you. I am so honoured to be able to carry on the work started by Dr. Peter Wyshynski, who bought the historic Seagram house in 1990, and converted it to the modern medical and surgical clinic it is today.

A few words from the desk of Dr. Shenker – Blurry lines.

Posted on May 9, 2017 by Sara

My eyesight is perfect, but sometimes I see blurry lines. I don’t mean the lines of newsprint in my newspaper, or the lines in the plastic surgery journals that I read. I mean the lines between boundaries that separate the sub-disciplines of plastic surgery. I mean the lines between what we think we believe, to be true, and reality as others around us see it.
