I attended Swarthmore College outside of Philadelphia, PA, which at the time was and at the present is considered one of the best small colleges in America. Due to my interest in Plastic Surgery and a strong tradition of Plastic Surgery advances and education in Houston, I decided to go to Baylor College of Medicine. I stayed in Houston at Baylor for my plastic surgery residency in order to take advantage of the immense training opportunities that existed there and at the world famous Texas Medical Center.

I developed a strong interest in cosmetic surgery and decided to pursue additional training in that area in the form of two cosmetic surgery fellowships. Thus, I spent one additional year after the required and customary residency plastic surgery program to have specialized, focused, and highly sought after training with several of the world’s authorities in cosmetic surgery including Bahman Guyron, MD, Mark Codner, MD, Foad Nahai, MD, Rod Hester, MD, and Sonny McCord, MD. The focus of this additional training was rhinoplasty, facial rejuvenation surgery, oculoplastic surgery, and cosmetic surgery of the breast and body. I chose to do this for the sole purpose of delivering the best patient care I would be able to deliver to patients in the realm of cosmetic surgery.
