Date of Decision: 23 Nov 2020
Summary of Decision:
On January 10, 2020, allegations of Dr. Guirguis’s professional misconduct were referred to the Discipline Committee of the College. It was alleged that Dr. Guirguis engaged in disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional conduct by performing surgical cosmetic procedures that were outside of his scope of practice, and engaged in disgraceful, dishonourable and unprofessional conduct through his online advertising and in his communications with Patient A.

The matter was heard on November 23, 2020, by way of videoconference, in the presence of Dr. Guirguis, counsel for the College and counsel for Dr. Guirguis. On the basis of a Statement of Uncontested Facts and Plea of No Contest (Liability), the Discipline Committee found that Dr. Guirguis committed an act of professional misconduct in that he has contravened the Act, the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 or the regulations under either of those Acts; and has engaged in an act or omission relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would be reasonably regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.

Disposition
Noting that Dr. Guirguis undertook to resign from the College and never to apply or re-apply to practise medicine in any jurisdiction, the Discipline Committee issued its Order dated November 24, 2020, directing that:
- Dr. Guirguis appear before the panel to be reprimanded; and
- Dr. Guirguis pay costs to the College in the amount of $6,000 within 30 days of the date of this Order.

On March 9, 2021, the Committee released its full reasons for decision, including the Statement of Uncontested Facts and Plea of No Contest. The decision is available for review on the College’s website.
