Dr Jennifer Guillemaud, who is warmly nicknamed Dr G by staff and patients, completed her medical training at the University of Alberta in 2008. This was followed by a rigorous comprehensive 5-year training program in Toronto in the highly coveted surgical subspecialty of Otolaryngology. Eager to return to her roots in Alberta, Dr G went on to complete a Mohs Micrographic Surgery fellowship through the University of Calgary – one of only 3 accredited programs in Canada. With this highly specialized and unique surgical training, Dr G furthered her credentials with sub-specialization as a board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. This extensive training makes Dr G a Mohs Micrographic and cutaneous oncologic head and neck surgeon, double board certified as a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Not only does Dr G hold this unique surgical title, she also is proud to be the only female in this small group of surgeons across North America, leading an all-female team at Calgary Skin Cancer Centre. 

The combination of surgical knowledge and skills provides Dr G the ability to cure cutaneous malignancies using the technique with the highest cure rate while providing patients with the best cosmetic and functional outcome using plastic surgery techniques. Dr G uses her extensive training and careful consideration of the functional and aesthetic requirements for each patient, and always considers all available treatment options and modalities before undertaking surgery. 

In Dr G’s scarce amount of free time away from Calgary Skin Cancer Centre she mixes her love of Africa with her dedication to serving others by volunteering her surgical skills with a charitable organization, Facing Africa. This UK based surgical organization travels to Ethiopia to provide much needed reconstructive surgery to pediatric patients that have suffered disfigurement related to a destructive gangrenous process called NOMA. This work is close to Dr G’s heart and she is proud to be a part of Facing Africa. 

On the evenings and weekends, Dr G can be found at home with her fur-baby, Cassius. She also enjoys tending to her outdoor pond and has a love of all things plant related. Her home is somewhat of an indoor rainforest! 

Most of all, Dr G loves her work and gives her patients her absolute best every day at Calgary skin Cancer Centre.
