MEET DR. SLOAN
Except for a few years out of state for education, Dr. Gene Sloan has been a lifelong Arkansas resident. Born in Jonesboro and raised in Hot Springs, he graduated from Hot Springs High School in 1973. He attended the University of Central Arkansas and received his medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 1985.
Dr. Sloan began Medical School intending to be a radiologist, having had only limited exposure to plastic surgery. Then he took an elective course in the Plastic Surgery Department at Stanford University. “After that month of training at Stanford, I just knew that this was what I was meant to do,” says Dr. Sloan.
After completing General Surgery training at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1990, he began a year of training in Plastic Surgery at City Hospital in Nottingham, England. This was followed by two years of Plastic Surgery Residency at the University of Miami in Florida under the direction of Dr. Ralph Millard, one of the most decorated and influential plastic surgeons of all time.
Dr. Sloan is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is a member of several plastic surgery societies including the prestigious American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. He has also held teaching positions at university hospitals. He recently has been a Patients’ Choice Award recipient, which recognizes doctors who consistently receive top patient ratings.
EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE
Dr. Sloan began private practice in Little Rock in 1993 with a small shared office on the St Vincent’s Infirmary campus and two part time employees. Over the ensuing years his practice grew and in 1998 he opened his present Aesthetic Plastic Surgery office in the Pavilion Centre on Cantrell Road in Little Rock with the goal of creating a state of the art facility devoted exclusively to providing the finest in cosmetic surgery services. Today the facility houses his clinical office and skin care center, as well as an accredited Surgery Center. He has over ten employees who have been selected for their expertise and caring attitudes. As patient safety is of paramount importance, he has several Registered Nurses on staff and all anesthesia is provided by a Board Certified Anesthesiologist.
The most common procedure Dr. Sloan currently performs is breast augmentation. His expertise has been recognized by his participation in numerous breast implant studies. He has been recognized by one of the world’s leading implant manufacturers by serving on their advisory board and being invited to their exclusive leadership conferences. The remainder of his practice consists of facial cosmetic surgery, cosmetic nasal surgery, and some body contouring procedures.
“Our practice philosophy is that even though we are engaged in the practice of plastic surgery every day, for our patients this is a once in a lifetime experience. We strive to make it a positive one”
