Mastering the Art

Now that I have been practicing for over 30 years, I feel that the next decade will be the prime of my career. I am passionate about the variety of procedures that I do as a plastic surgeon. I love that plastic surgeons are trained to operate from head-to-toe and that we treat patients of all ages. I like continually pushing the boundaries of my specialty and advancing my craft with new techniques. I feel it is important that plastic surgeons maintain their roots in all areas of Plastic Surgery. I believe that the techniques required to do complex reconstructive procedures hone Plastic Surgery skills and make them much better Cosmetic Surgeons.
