My Philosophy
“My approach to surgical enhancement of the human form is built upon the concept of understated elegance. True beauty should never appear forced, but instead should appear natural and effortless. Therefore, I always insist that the best cosmetic surgical result is achieved when the result goes unnoticed as surgery. To achieve this end, I’ve acquired training in the latest techniques that minimize scars, preserve anatomy, and work in harmony with each patient’s natural beauty.
I believe that learning and perfecting the art of surgery is a life-long endeavor and I am continually dedicated to improving old techniques as well as staying abreast of the latest developments in the field of cosmetic surgery. I do not believe that the same technique is best for every patient. Instead, I will take the time to tailor each operation in accordance with each patient’s individual anatomy, as well as their ideal vision. My ultimate goal is to help you achieve your natural beauty with each and every procedure so that I may earn the privilege of being your doctor and surgeon for many years to come. I invite you to call today to speak to our caring staff so that we can answer your questions and help you schedule your personal consultation.”
I look forward to meeting you in person!

What is the Difference Between a Cosmetic Surgeon and a Plastic Surgeon?
If you’ve ever heard the terms plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery and thought they were the same thing, you’re not alone. Most people use these terms interchangeably because a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon perform many of the same procedures and there is a lot of overlap. However there are differences between a cosmetic surgeon vs plastic surgeon in their training and designation.
