My father and I started the Plastic Surgery Institute of Miami rendering professional cosmetic and reconstructive surgery services in the Miami, Florida area for over thirty years.
Opportunities in working in the emergency room in major hospitals, reconstructing burn patients, treating trauma patients and facial injuries is one of many reasons I enjoy the work in the field of plastic surgery.
I enjoy reviewing cases, helping patients achieve a maximum medical improvement and helping the patient can have a better outcome.
I am certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, also a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
I had graduated from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Graduating with special honors, also served as Chief Resident in plastic surgery at the Louisiana State University.
A noted author of numerous articles and chapters on various aspects of plastic surgery. I have been the president of the Florida Society of Plastic surgery. Guest speaker at the American Society of Plastic Surgery, the Southeastern Society of Plastic Surgery, and speaker at the World Center Marriott Division of Worker's compensation for several years.
