Dr. Leila Kasrai and Dr. David Fisher are plastic surgeons practicing at Toronto's prestigious Hospital for Sick Children. Drs. Kasrai and Fisher are committed to the ongoing treatment of children with significant congenital and traumatic ear injuries. As Pediatric Plastic Surgeons, both physicians have dedicated their practices to advancing the science of care in this highly specialized field. Their unique partnership enables a rare combination of expertise in art and medical science.
Congenital ear deformities can cause stigma and issues of self-esteem in children as they grow, in addition to the possible hearing deficits that may accompany such conditions. Microtia is one of the severe forms of congenital abnormalities affecting the ear. For many children and their parents, the possibility for permanent aesthetic treatment represents a tremendous opportunity to enhance social acceptance and build self worth.
Drs. Kasrai and Fisher strongly believe in caring for both the patient and family. They recognize the importance of parental support throughout the treatment process and work to ensure that all decisions are also family decisions. Both physicians are involved with every patient and family in their care. In the case of patients with microtia, both physicians work together in the operating room to produce outstanding clinical results while reducing the total surgical time required to complete the procedure. This team approach, or co-surgeon advantage, means surgical risk is reduced while attention to detail is never compromised. This philosophy ensures that patients and their families receive the best care possible at every stage of treatment and follow-up.
The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto is Canadas largest health care centre focusing exclusively on improving childrens health. The hospital has an international reputation for excellence and is considered one of the world leaders in the advancement of pediatric medicine.
