Dr. Daniel S. Guberman, MD, FRCS(C)- Plastic Surgeon, Medical Director and Co-Founder of Essbé Beauté
Dr. Daniel Guberman is a board-certified Plastic Surgeon, Medical Director of Essbé Beauté, and one of Westmount's most respected voices in aesthetic medicine — known for results that are precise, natural, and profoundly personal.
His philosophy is deceptively simple: enhance, never alter. Respect proportion. Honour identity. Over the course of more than 16 years and 3,000 procedures, this guiding principle has shaped a practice defined by surgical excellence, artistic sensibility, and an unwavering commitment to the individual in front of him.
Trained at Université de Montréal and mentored by leading specialists in breast, body, and facial aesthetic surgery, Dr. Guberman developed both the technical mastery and the refined aesthetic eye that distinguish his work. He approaches each patient not as a procedure to be performed, but as a person with a unique story — one that deserves to be honoured in every decision made.
Essbé Beauté is the natural evolution of that vision. Originally established as Clinique DSG, the practice became known early on for its thoughtful, unhurried approach to aesthetic plastic surgery and non-surgical care. Patients weren't simply seeking change — they were embarking on deeply personal journeys toward confidence, balance, and lasting results. Over time, Dr. Guberman's clinical insight led to a fundamental understanding: the most enduring outcomes are achieved when healing is supported, care is structured with intention, and treatments are designed to work in concert with one another.
This realization gave rise to Essbé Beauté's Signature Programs — integrated treatment pathways co-created with Samantha that bring together surgical precision, advanced non-surgical modalities, and restorative skincare protocols to support optimal, long-lasting results. It was also the catalyst for the clinic's evolution into a more holistic, program-based model of aesthetic care — one where the experience is as considered as the outcome.
Today, Dr. Guberman leads Essbé Beauté with the same clarity of vision he has always held: that aesthetic medicine is not defined by a single moment of transformation, but by how results evolve, feel, and endure over time. His care extends well beyond the procedure itself — into recovery, follow-up, and the long-term relationship he builds with every patient.
He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, a member of the Canadian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the Collège des Médecins du Québec, and the Association des Spécialistes en Chirurgie Plastique et Esthétique du Québec. He also serves as a professor in the Division of Plastic Surgery at Université de Montréal — a role that reflects his dedication to advancing the field and mentoring the next generation of surgeons.

Samantha - Co-Founder & Curator of Essbé Beauté Holistic Skin Care Specialist
Samantha is the Co-Founder of Essbé Beauté and the holistic vision behind its most defining dimension — the belief that truly exceptional aesthetic results begin long before a treatment, and extend far beyond it.
With over ten years of experience in the aesthetic industry, Samantha's path has been shaped by an enduring curiosity about skin health in its fullest sense. Her studies in Ayurvedic medicine deepened her understanding of the body as an interconnected system — one where inner balance, lifestyle, and external care are inseparable. Certified in Reiki I & II, she brings an additional layer of restorative intention to her work, honouring the connection between physical healing and energetic wellbeing.
This inside-out philosophy is the foundation of everything she does. Samantha approaches skin not as a surface to be treated, but as a living reflection of overall health — responsive to consistency, nourishment, and care that honours the whole person.
Originally rooted within Clinique DSG in Westmount, Essbé Beauté grew from Samantha's conviction that skincare and aesthetic procedures are most powerful when they work in harmony. Working closely with Dr. Guberman, she co-created Essbé Beauté's Signature Programs — integrated treatment pathways that thoughtfully combine surgical and non-surgical procedures with carefully curated skincare, Aerolase lasers, and restorative protocols designed to support optimal, long-lasting outcomes.
Samantha specializes in results-driven methodologies including Biologique Recherche facial techniques, Aerolase Neo and Era Elite laser protocols — including the signature Reverse treatment — and a range of complementary modalities. Her approach is grounded in precision, deep personalization, and an unwavering respect for the skin's natural intelligence.
Every experience she designs is intended to prepare the skin, support its healing, and sustain its radiance — ensuring that results are not only achieved, but long lasting.
At its core, Essbé Beauté reflects Samantha's deepest belief — that feeling beautiful begins within, and that the most lasting results are built on care that honours the whole person.
