The Art in Surgery

There is Art, and there is Science. Art is creative, subjective, and personal. Science is algorithmic, objective, and ubiquitous. The beauty of Plastic Surgery to me, is that it encompasses both Art and Science.

After graduating medical school, I completed residencies in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery. After 8 years of training, I chose to pursue an additional fellowship year in Microsurgery. I chose a longer road than many, but each training program has afforded me a unique skillset to make whole again what is lost to trauma and cancer. Cancer treatment is complex, and as a board certified General Surgeon I can speak the language of your Surgical Oncologist. I understand the role of radiation, chemotherapy, and how they affect surgical options. As a Plastic Surgeon I understand the nuance of reconstruction. Every patient deserves a uniquely tailored reconstructive plan that considers every part of their cancer, treatment, and preferences. Microsurgery fellowship has afforded me what I am most proud of: I am well trained to provide the entire gamut of reconstructive surgery.

I want to hear your story and be a part of your journey. I will always advocate for you, the patient. Feel empowered to curate your surgical team. Choose a surgeon who has trained extensively, completed a fellowship program in the specialty you need, and brings you confidence. I specialize in all cancer and trauma reconstruction, with special interest in Breast Reconstruction. Whether you are planning to undergo breast cancer surgery, considering delayed reconstruction, or have already undergone reconstruction but looking for an improved result, the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery team at Cedars-Sinai can help. We have world class facilities and dedicated staff. Our Breast Center is internationally renowned for being on the forefront of research and clinical endeavors. Let our team fight for you.
