I want every patient to understand the following things about me as a surgeon; first, I live by my father's rule: "A job done well cannot involve cutting corners and safety should always come first."

I want every patient to understand the following things about me as a surgeon; first, I live by my father's rule: "A job done well cannot involve cutting corners and safety should always come first." Second, my objective is that you feel as though your care has been customized to fit you as an individual patient to meet your specific needs and expectations. It is paramount to spend the time to discuss your aesthetic goals so that you are well-informed and then together we can create your treatment plan. Lastly, the happier you are with your care, the more likely I will have the privilege, opportunity and pleasure to continue your care and that of your family and friends. Cosmetic plastic surgery offers me artistic latitude and a craft that is extremely satisfying. My ultimate reward is that huge smile on a patient's face, when they love the way they look and feel. In my spare time, I'm involved with community organizations and events. Volunteering my skills and mentoring in an effort to transform the lives of the uninsured and promote higher education is very fulfilling to me. I enjoy the outdoors, whether it is mountain climbing, snowboarding, kayaking or barbequing with friends and family.
