We have performed some of the most complex facial reconstructive cases involving the facial skeleton and overlying soft tissue. These cases include birth defects, trauma and defects related to cancer. 5 years ago we began doing transformative facial feminization and masculinization surgery. Our passion for excellence and dedication to our patients is evident in our superior surgical outcomes.
Our patients are our number one priority and we encourage open lines of communication. Our patients are given our work cellphone and can easily text or call, even off hours to ask a question or report a potential problem. Our goal is to make the entire process and seamless as possible and give our patients the support they deserve. In addition we offer in person as well as virtual visits to our patients who may be out of state or far away. We work with all major insurance companies to help you get the care you need.
