My Personal Practice Philosophy

In the more than twenty years of the practice of Cosmetic, Reconstructive, and Plastic Surgery, I have been offering my patients an uncompromising dedication to personalized care and to meet each individual's unique needs and goals. It begins with an honest, thorough and insightful consultation, proceeds to precise "state of the art" surgical care, and includes attentive and long-term aftercare. Confidentiality is respected throughout this process.

I am also very committed to giving back to society. In addition to teaching at the University of Louisville, I donate my time and skills to those in need. I have been involved in international medical care and teaching throughout my medical career. I have spent about two weeks each year in Latin America, teaching and performing cleft lip, cleft palate, and burn reconstructive surgery on patients with few resources. Giving of my skills enhances my medical practice and my life.

My commitment to quality care is also reflected through continuous education in the advancement of our surgical specialties. I am certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and am a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and other national and regional medical societies.
