Dr. Brutus was born in Belgium and graduated from medical school in Brussels in 1995.

Dr. Brutus uses the most state-of-the-art and least invasive techniques. His clinical practice and research have helped pioneer endoscopic hand surgery in Canada. He has developed and popularized a variety of minimally invasive surgical techniques, including revolutionary procedures used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, lacertus syndrome, trigger finger, Dupuytren’s contracture, and rhizarthrosis.
