Practice Information
It is difficult to encapsulate years of training and experience in a few words. What I most prefer to emphasize in my practice is honesty. I will not promise impossible results nor will I discount the risks of any procedure no matter how small. That being said I will strive to achieve the best results humanly possible.
In my current role as chief of plastic surgery at the Cleveland VA Medical Center and assistant professor of plastic surgery at Case Western Reserve and University Hospitals, I have had extensive experience in all aspects of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. Each consultation will be comprehensive and detail the surgery to be performed, including risks and benefits and any alternative treatments.
My goal is to answer the needs of any surgical candidate with patience and skill and perform to the utmost of my capabilities.
