Brief Intro

Having Plastic Surgery is no doubt a significant event. Sometimes a person needs it to cure and reconstruct a disease, sometimes a person needs it to make a body part work better, and sometimes a person makes a conscious decision to undergo Plastic Surgery "on purpose" to change one's appearance. No matter the reason for needing or wanting Plastic Surgery, I believe that the entire process is a very personal experience. It may be frightening to a woman needing breast reconstruction because of breast cancer. It may be exciting to a woman who is getting a tummy tuck. It may be literally relieving to a man with carpal tunnel syndrome. And to just about everyone, surgery itself is downright intimidating -- but it doesn't have to be. As a board-certified Plastic Surgeon, it is my job to guide my patients through every step of the surgical process, from initial consultation to surgery to postoperative recovery. It is also my job to be up to date with the most recent surgical procedures and patient safety protocols. And being board-certified in Plastic Surgery means that I was formally trained in a recognized Plastic Surgery residency program and that I am trusted to expertly perform the surgeries in our specialty. Patients are the reason doctors exist. I truly respect that fact and work hard every day to make sure that I educate my patients, explain the entire surgical process, and gain their trust.
