About Your Plastic Surgeon

 

“No matter why you choose to have Plastic Surgery, selecting your surgeon is a big decision.  Perhaps, like many of my patients, you’re unhappy with some aspect of your appearance that no longer reflects the youthful, energetic person within. I would like to help you achieve your goals by listening to your needs, answering your questions, and providing the very best in rejuvenative care.”

 

 

A Respected Member of the Community

“I’m proud to be a member of the medical staff at St. Lucie Medical Center. I have served as the Chair of many of the quality assurance and management committees at the hospital and was on the Board of Trustees for 10 years. I am active in the national and state Plastic Surgical societies, and have been on the Board of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons. Membership in professional societies provides opportunities for continuing education and networking with colleagues. Lecturing in the public schools, Indian River State College, and internationally, has allowed me to share my interest in medicine.”

A Background of Recognized Training and Certification in Plastic Surgery
“Many doctors refer to themselves as facial plastic or cosmetic surgeons without the specialized training that is required for certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In order to provide my patients with the level of care they expect and deserve, I have attended respected schools, completed specialized residency training, and passed exams to attain board certification in Plastic Surgery. I utilize my training, experience and artistic talent to provide you knowledgeable, up-to-date care that you can trust.”
