Two Decades of Surgery in Barrie
The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada certified him as a specialist in plastic surgery. He received that Canadian specialist certificate from McMaster University. He also completed a plastic surgery fellowship at the University of Toronto. He joined Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie as a consultant plastic surgeon in 2004.
He finished medical school in 1987. He then rotated through general surgery, orthopedic surgery and trauma surgery before joining the Tripoli Center for Plastic Surgery in 1989, where he stayed until 2004.
Each of these is on a public register or a third-party site. Look him up on the CPSO register.

His approach
Surgical and
non-surgical consultations
Patients describe the consultation as the reason they chose him more often than they describe any procedure, so it is worth setting out what actually happens in it.
He examines rather than takes a description. What people believe is causing what they see is frequently not what is causing it. Heaviness around the eye has three common causes. It can be loose skin on the lid, a brow that has descended, or a weakened muscle that lifts the lid. Each one is treated differently. A fold beside the mouth is often a cheek that has dropped rather than a fold that has deepened. Sorting that out is the appointment.
He explains what he finds in ordinary language, including what cannot be changed. He gives the smaller option where a smaller option exists, and he says when nothing surgical is the honest answer.

Your assessment
Dr. Tumi examines the area and works out what is actually causing it. You will be told what can be done, what cannot, and what recovery looks like.
- 04
A written quote
The quote comes after the assessment, because the assessment is what determines the procedure. Nobody is asked to decide on the day.
- 05
Payment and financing
Cosmetic procedures are not covered by OHIP. Financing is available through Beautifi, Medicard and Credit Medical, so the cost can be spread over monthly payments.
- 06
Your date and recovery path
Choose a surgery date with time off booked before it, not during recovery, and someone to drive you home. You leave with written aftercare instructions and your follow-up appointments.
An assessment and a conversation.
You do not need to arrive knowing which procedure you want. Describing what bothers you is enough. You are not committing to surgery by booking a consultation.
