WONDERFUL DR AND OFFICE. WELL WORTH THE WAIT. SHE MAKES YOU FEEL AT EASE

Submitted June 10, 2019

Please read this entire review. It is a long one, but will prove to be extremely helpful for anyone who may be considering Dr. Guiffre as their surgeon.

I just had a surgical procedure done yesterday and am already recovering extremely well. If any women are considering her for cosmetic surgery, feel free to email me about which procedure I got and I will give you more details about the whole process/answer any questions you may have:). My email is: shanny_56@hotmail.com. Dr. Guiffre is absolutely amazing. I had rhinoplasty done about a year ago and had consults with numerous surgeons and I found that a LOT of surgeons lacked bedside manner and just basic respect and kindness. I can tell you right now that Dr. Guiffre is the kind of person you want operating on you. She’s caring, very sweet, knowledgeable, and an expert in her field. She will make you feel comfortable and that is sooo important when choosing a surgeon. The nurses in the operating room were amazing too. I want to point out a couple of things because I have done so much research on surgeons/surgeries over the last few years.

1. I did see that Dr. G had a few negative reviews and that initially worried me, as it should’ve. Please understand that before you make any decisions on a surgeon you NEED to consult/meet them first (unless they have an alarming amount of terrible reviews). For example, I saw a couple reviews that stated she “botched” a couple people’s hands. For all we know, these people could be total trolls just trying to ruin her reputation, however, if this is not the case, please consider this: because I’ve seen her professionalism firsthand, I can guarantee you that she told these people that she’d be able to save their fingers/reconstruct their hand(s), but they may lose some or all of the sensation in some areas. These people with the negative reviews were likely told that this was a possibility, decided to go through with the procedure, and then complained about it when it happened to them. Crap happens! That is why surgeons tell you the truth from the beginning. They aren’t magicians. I just wanted to say that it is absolutely necessary to meet surgeons yourself before forming your final decision.

2. Surgery is about improvement, not perfection!!

3. I got my surgery done at Maples Surgical Centre in Winnipeg. Maples also has some bad reviews in general, which again, worried me. First off, it’s about who is operating on you that matters, not about who sets up your consult, takes your payment, or whatever else. Although it is desired to be treated pleasantly by all staff members of a facility, sometimes people are having a busy/bad day and aren’t as kind to you as you thought they should be, but don’t judge the surgeon for that! For the record, the front desk staff were so nice and funny! Also, Karen, the patient coordinator was super sweet and accommodating.

4. Lastly, I know there are reviews that state that Dr. G is not punctual. I was about 20-30 minutes late on getting in for my procedure, but instead of complaining about it, I thought about it differently. When surgeons are late that means they are not RUSHING the patients prior to you. My procedure took a little longer than expected but she still took her time and because of that I am recovering well and have no doubt that I will love the final results. Having a surgeon be a little late is still better than them rushing your surgery just to try to stay on time. Surgery is a big deal and Dr. G treats it as such.

Anyways, that’s my spiel. I haven’t made very many online reviews in general, but I felt Dr. G deserved this one. Thank-you Dr. Guiffre and the entire team (from admin to the nurses) at Maples Surgical Centre for the best experience. I will continue to recommend you! :)

Dr Giuffre and Dr Clarke did my surgery on my elbow and wrist and I couldn't have asked for a better team.

I had my tummy tuck 2 years ago and was so impressed with Dr. Giuffre and her staff. Dr. Giuffre was absolutely amazing. I wouldn't see any other doctor for surgery. She should be #1.

Dr. Giuffre is an excellent surgeon whom just performed an abdominoplasty and panniculectomy in January, 2017. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is very professional, confident and honest and puts you at ease with her personality and beautiful smile. She made me feel like I was the most important patient and was never rushed in her manner.
