" The procedure is just one part of the care. What matters is how you feel before, during, and after."
Dr. Gaurav Jain was born and raised in Ottawa, where he completed all of his medical training at the University of Ottawa, including his bachelor's degree, medical school, and residency. From early in his studies, he developed a strong passion for hands-on medicine, discovering that he preferred performing procedures on awake patients, rather than those unconscious in the operating room, which led to a special interest in minor procedures.
His commitment to serving rural populations grew during his residency in the rural town of Winchester, where he observed firsthand the exceptional skill and adaptability required of rural physicians. In communities with limited access to specialists, doctors often provide a wide scope of care, from emergency services to outpatient clinics, managing everything from skin cancer excisions to acute medical conditions. This experience solidified Dr. Jain’s dedication to comprehensive, patient-centered care, ensuring every procedure is tailored with respect for the individual’s needs and comfort.
Throughout residency and his ongoing practice, Dr. Jain has cultivated expertise in a broad range of procedures, including minor surgical excisions of moles, skin tags, steroid joint injections, skin cancer removals, and women’s health services such as intrauterine device (IUD) and hormonal contraceptive implant insertions. His training also includes advanced ultrasound-guided procedures, enabling him to perform interventions like paracenteses and thoracenteses with precision and safety, though these are usually done by him in hospitals.
During his residency, to further hone his skills, Dr. Jain sought out mentorship and training under some of Ontario's best general and plastic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, dermatologists, and cosmetic practitioners, gaining proficiency in the wide variety of treatments he provides, from wrist injections for carpal tunnel syndrome to cosmetic excisions of lipomas. He is passionate about offering both insured and cosmetic procedures, recognizing the profound impact that physical appearance can have on well-being and confidence. His goal is to help patients feel their best — medically and cosmetically — through skilled, compassionate care.
In an era of increasing medical specialization, Dr. Jain embraces a holistic approach reminiscent of the traditional generalist doctor who provides care for a wide variety of needs. His work as a hospitalist, rural emergency physician, and comprehensive family doctor complements his procedural practice, allowing him to integrate acute and outpatient care seamlessly.
He strives to maintain the ideal of a physician who can meet patients wherever they are in their health journey — offering expert, personalized care that prioritizes comfort, trust, and understanding. By combining a broad clinical perspective with advanced procedural skills, Dr. Jain is dedicated to supporting his patients before, during, and after every procedure.
