My background allows me to customize each patient’s treatment plan and thus optimize both functional and aesthetic results. Armed with 5-years of basic science research experience, I continue to be very involved with research, as my extensive list of scientific publications and presentations confirm. I take pride in being on the cutting edge of new advances in medical and surgical treatment. At least several times each year I attend national and international plastic surgery meetings, to teach others about my experience and further my own knowledge with new advances in medicine. I am a member of several major plastic surgery societies and have been featured in number of media reports. The safety and quality of patient care is the central principle of my practice.
