Summary

My credentials are my most important assets. Few surgeons in this area are board certified in both Plastic Surgery and Surgery of the Hand. I have also trained in a Burn Unit for two years completing a fellowship in Burns and Wound Care. My extensive training and lifelong commitment to education and self-improvement enable me to give my patients the safety and quality they deserve.

Recently, the focus of my practice has turned to cosmetic rejuvenation of the face and body. I specialize in the mommy makeover, a procedure combining breast augmentation or lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction. This procedure is designed to reverse the effects of pregnancy and breast feeding.
