1. What influenced you to pursue your career?
My mentors. Beginning with my father, I have always had great mentors. Throughout my education, I have been fortunate enough to find attentive teachers who were genuinely interested in my future. Each of them helped me identify my strengths and guided me along the career path right to where I am now.
2. What is your philosophy when it comes to the care of your patients?
Whether the patient seeks my advice for cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, my goal is to be attentive, thorough, and methodical throughout the course of our relationship.
3. How do you choose the right procedure for your plastic surgery patients?
Most patients come to my office with an understanding regarding what problem they would like to approach. It is then my task to serve as a guide as we, together, develop a plan of action that is tailored to each patient’s physiology and desires.
4. What is the key to making a great first impression?
Be in the moment and know your audience.
5. What is one of your happiest professional moments?
A substantial portion of my practice is dedicated to the reconstruction of breast cancer patients. My happiest moments are now when my breast reconstruction patients reach “graduation day” from my practice … No professional success exceeds the sense that my patient can, at our final visits, begin to close a trying chapter in their lives.
