A Saskatoon cosmetic doctor behind a line of esthetic clinics in Western Canada is prohibited from providing health care in Saskatchewan following a series of complaints from patients in Ontario.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan says Dr. Naveen Tandon of Physician Skincare Centre on Eighth Street was banned from providing primary health care in the province last month.

Documents from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario detail how that college investigated Tandon in the past, with investigations finding that he falsified a document, would charged for unnecessary procedures and tests and cut corners.

In one instance, an investigator found Tandon failed to diagnose a patient with cancer until it was incurable.

College documents say that, in 2014, a patient complained that Tandon failed to provide her with diagnostic testing after she complained of pain. The cause of the pain was later identified as breast cancer. The independent assessor contracted by the college said Tandon’s failure to meet the standard of care resulted in the cancer being discovered after it was incurable. According to college documents, Tandon did not cooperate with a college investigation into the complaint.
