Dr. Pathy was educated at Yale University where he received a Bachelor of Science degree with an intensive concentration based upon his research and thesis in neurobiology. He subsequently graduated from the Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia where he developed a passion for plastic surgery.

He then completed a rigorous General Surgery residency, including Chief Residency, at the prestigious Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine and its affiliates in New York City. He was selected to continue his training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Montefiore, having been chosen for one of only a handful of sought-after positions in New York City. He has had the honor of being trained by numerous internationally renowned pioneers in the field of plastic surgery throughout his career, including those at the acclaimed Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital.

Dr. Pathy’s practice at Northeast Plastic Surgery Center is one of only a select number of practices in Connecticut to offer the technically advanced DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap microsurgical breast reconstruction, in which only a patient’s abdominal skin and fat are utilized to reconstruct her breast without sacrificing muscle.

He additionally performs elective procedures at Lawrence & Memorial Hospital, Middlesex Hospital, Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam, Westerly Hospital, and The William W. Backus Hospital.

Though he carries out extensive reconstructive surgeries, Dr. Pathy also performs a wide array of non-surgical and surgical facial, breast, and body aesthetic procedures, such as breast augmentations, reductions, and lifts, as well as abdominoplasties, body contouring procedures, and liposuction, with the latter including both Power Assisted Liposuction and laser-assisted (Smartlipo) liposuction.

A published author and speaker regarding both aesthetic and reconstructive topics, Dr. Pathy is a Diplomate of both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. He is also a Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, The Aesthetic Society, the Northeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Connecticut Society of Plastic Surgeons, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

His extensive experience in the area of breast reconstruction has allowed him to be on the forefront of innovative technology and techniques, being requested by companies to assist in product development and review.

Having discovered inefficiencies and an unmet need while operating, Dr. Pathy founded a medical device company, Pathy Medical®, which aims to reduce stress and strain on the surgeon while enhancing the operative field, while also targeting infection control, ultimately benefiting the patient.

His commitment to excellence has led to him being regularly honored by his peers as a Castle Connelly Top Doctor.
