Erlanger Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Dedication to Details
Dr. Jason Rehm cares about the details. From consultations and post-op follow ups to days in the operating room and regular involvement in teaching conferences, attention to detail is his top priority and passion. He believes each patient deserves to be heard and always takes extra care to listen and educate his patients as if they were his own relative. Rehm has been in his current role with Erlanger for 21 years and loves getting to be “part of a team that sometimes delivers life changing care, whether that be an aesthetic improvement, a reconstructive surgery, or the improved pain-free use of the hands.”
Great doctor and staff. He did plastic surgery on me and hand surgery on my mom and dad, and we are all pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dr. Jason Rehm.”
My Credentials
1. What would you consider to be your main strengths?
Attention to detail and an ability to effectively communicate with patients by both listening and also educating them on their medical issues, whether that be a desire to change an aesthetic appearance or recover from a hand injury.
2. What’s the key to making a great first impression?
A receptive and understanding personality.
3. What is one of your happiest professional moments?
Years ago, I was part of the team that reconstructed a teenager’s arm after a severe trauma. My part consisted of muscle flap transfer, nerve repair, and skin grafting. After many surgeries and a great deal of rehabilitation, that patient is now also a surgeon training in plastic surgery.
4. How do you choose the right procedure for your clients?
You first have to understand the disease or pathology of the situation, and then rely on a strong educational background and depth of experience to formulate a plan, a procedure, and a recovery.
5. What is your best advice for clients?
Do some research. Use a resource like the website of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (plasticsurgery.org). You can find a board-certified surgeon in your area and learn about procedures and find links to videos and recovery processes.
