Plastic surgery is a medical art that seeks to heal, restore form and improve function. Plastic surgery incorporates aesthetic techniques to maintain or enhance an individual's appearance, contributing to improved self-esteem and psychological wellness. These techniques may include surgical procedures or nonsurgical treatments.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I am able to offer a complete range of plastic surgery care including cosmetic procedures and reconstructive surgery. Whether necessitated by a medical condition or to enhance one's appearance and self-image, the decision to undergo a surgical procedure is extremely important and personal. I believe it is critical to fully connect with the patient's goals, expectations and aesthetic perceptions prior to surgery in order to achieve the surgical results we both desire. I strive to offer personalized, private and expert care.
Simply stated, our office philosophy is that our patients' needs, expectations and well-being are always first and foremost. We expect our service and procedures to be of the highest professional standard and worthy of our patients' trust.
