Summary

  • I am practicing congenital cardiac surgery after 26 years as a general surgeon first and then a plastic surgeon. I graduated from MIT with a degree in Physics and from the U. of South Florida for my M.D. For the last 20 years, I have been working in a charity I started in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We do not accept donations. It is financed with profits from my cosmetic surgery practice. My websites are: www.drsheftall.com and www.opkidsfoundation.org
