Dr. Kasrai completed her residency at the University of Toronto and in 1999, she obtained her Plastic Surgery Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada (FRCSC). Following, Dr. Kasrai attended Harvard University to obtain a Masters in Public Health with a focus on International Health. Dr. Kasrai is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Toronto, one of the world's leading medical schools.

I had a surgery done with Dr Kasrai about 5 years ago to fix a deformity in my ears, looking at it now I regret doing the surgery, my ears actually look worse than before, she paid no attention to symmetry which was the whole point of the surgery. I thought I was going to an experienced doctor when it comes to ear procedures, I can tell you she is very overrated, unfortunately I learned the hard way. I wish I can go back in time and not do this surgery because this is really affecting my every day life right now.
