Personal Statement
Plastic surgery is a partnership between me and my patients. To this partnership, I bring a combination of skill, integrity, feminism, and compassion. Whether we meet because you are considering reconstruction, or you are contemplating aesthetic rejuvenation, it is my goal to provide the highest level of patient safety and quality care. I strive to empower my patients, simplify what can be a challenging maze of surgical options, and make your experience a pleasant one.
