I am passionate about my chosen field and about helping my patients. I believe the hallmark of excellence in aesthetic plastic surgery is a natural, beautiful result. I believe that beauty is found in art, animals, nature, music, dance, architecture, and the human form. My surgical results are inspired by an appreciation for all of these.

Surgical Facilities
Our custom-designed office ambulatory surgical facility was built to exacting standards and is nationally and globally accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF). The AAAASF is considered the gold standard for outpatient surgical facility accreditation. We are accredited to perform both sedation and general anesthesia. We are proud of our facility, which offers the ultimate in patient safety and privacy, infection control, and cost considerations as compared to traditional hospital-based care. Our original facility was one of the earliest office ambulatory surgical facilities to be accredited by the AAAASF in 1982. Additional information regarding AAAASF certification can be obtained on their website at aaaasf.org.
