Total years in practice: 5

I have a passion for helping patients look and feel their best, and this is what initially drove me to the field of Facial Plastic Surgery. I always strive to provide a comfortable and collaborative experience for every individual patient, combining personal attentive care with flawless results. My philosophy is to deliver natural and balanced results, while achieving each individual’s unique aesthetic goals.

I continue to be actively involved in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery research, co-authoring several journal publications, book chapters, and am an active member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Outside of my academic endeavors and clinical practice, I have been involved with humanitarian work around the world, with my most recent trip to Guatemala to help children with nasal deformities associated with cleft lip and palates. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and eating good food.
