Summary

• I am a fellowship trained plastic surgeon who strives to provide patients with the latest cutting-edge techniques and results that reflect my extensive training. I know that today’s patients do their homework: they have seen videos, listened to podcasts, and are active on social media. I also know that paternalistic medicine is antiquated. Instead, I think of my patients as partners on a journey to provide individualized, long-lasting, natural, and consistent results. I attended Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana, where I graduated in the top 5 of my class. Following graduation, I matched into the extremely competitive New York City Mount Sinai six year integrated plastic surgery residency position. I completed rotations at five different Mount Sinai locations, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the Bronx Veterans’ Affairs, and Elmhurst Hospital. I gained experience in cosmetic surgery working along many of the world’s top plastic surgeons on Park Avenue. I served as chief resident from 2021 to 2022. While a resident, I spearheaded numerous educational efforts for junior residents and medical students alike. During the COVID pandemic, I was the director of a virtual training program to help medical students interested in plastic surgery learn the fundamentals while being unable to be present in-person. In order to provide the highest quality of care, I completed a cosmetic surgery fellowship with the then-president of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), Dr. Jennifer Walden in Austin, Texas. There, I learned the importance of the patient experience and a holistic approach to aesthetic medicine.
