My History
- 30 Years of Experience
- Performing All Forms of Cosmetic Surgery
- No Medical Malpractice Judgments – Ever
- The results are thousands of happy patients after thousands of surgeries performed by myself
- Find out about me or any doctor’s standing with the Medical Board
- 100% Perfect Safety Record
- For all the years I have been in practice and after several thousand surgical procedures
My Philosophy – It is based on these important tenets:
- Honest, up front answers to all your questions
- Making myself available to listen to your needs
- Provide you with information, without pressure, so that cosmetic surgery is always the “your” decision
- Give you sound advice and judgment – using the great experience I have gained since performing surgery beginning 1986
- Continue to maintain safe surgical decisions
By following these dictates, using sound judgment and safe surgical practices, I have seen fears about cosmetic surgery turned into wonderful experiences.
1986 – After finishing training at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minnesota, I set up solo practice in Thousand Oaks California.
1987 – I attained Board Certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
