BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Bernier is a perfectionist in everything he undertakes. He undeniably derives a great deal of satisfaction from aesthetic surgery, as it allows him to express his love for beauty and harmonious lines.

After extensive studies in medicine that earned him the title of specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, Dr. Bernier went to California where he worked with highly reputed plastic surgeons.

Dr. Bruce F. Connell, among other prominent surgeons, was a role model for him. From his prolonged stay in California, an environment rich in new knowledge, Dr Bernier brought back the expertise that enabled him to become a master in the fine art of aesthetic surgery.

After his return to Canada, Dr Bernier dedicated himself wholly to aesthetic surgery. His professionalism is highlighted by his numerous specialist certifications, which he obtained from the Collège des médecins du Québec (C.S.P.Q.), the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (F.R.C.S.C.) and the American College of Surgeons (F.A.C.S.).
