A native of Portsmouth, Virginia I grew up in a military family but I had a strong desire to become a commercial artists. When I approached my parents with my career desires she simply said “No!” paraphrased of course. That was the end of my career as a commercial artist! Thirty years removed from that conversation I have found myself nicely settled in my career as a plastic surgeon.

Additionally, we perform aesthetic surgery to enhance the appearance to improve one’s self -confidence.

I am excited to be a quarterly contributor to the Gwinnett Citizen. I plan to provide our community with timely relevant information to raise the public’s awareness of what plastic surgery can offer. Happy New Year!
