Our Story
“Dr C” is a board-certified plastic surgeon and microsurgeon, and President of PRMA Plastic Surgery. He specializes in state-of-the-art breast reconstruction with a particular focus on perforator flap breast reconstruction, nipple-sparing mastectomy, techniques to maximize aesthetic outcomes, and restoring sensation after mastectomy.
Dr C is routinely featured in the media for his contributions to the field of breast reconstruction and has been the featured "expert guest" on various shows. He has authored and co-authored several book chapters and scientific articles in peer-reviewed medical journals, and has been an invited speaker on expert breast reconstruction panels at regional, national, and international conferences. Dr C was named one of "America's Top Surgeons" and was also a recipient of the San Antonio Business Journal's "Top 40 Under Forty" (2007) and “Healthcare Hero” (2019) awards.
Dr C is also a strong advocate for shared decision-making between the healthcare team and patient. He believes shared decision-making is an extremely effective and most ethical approach for delivering patient-centered, high quality healthcare with excellent outcomes. To empower as many patients as possible, he created the Breast Advocate® App, the World's first shared decision-making app for breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction. Breast Advocate® is a free app, co-created by breast cancer specialists and patient advocates, that provides anyone with a breast cancer diagnosis, or at risk of developing breast cancer, a much needed voice in their breast cancer surgery decision-making.
Dr C is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and is also an active member in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery, the Plastic Surgery Education Foundation, the Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the San Antonio International Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
