For decades I have been privileged to help rebuild and enhance the lives of many individuals in Beverly Hills, California. Whether treating a child with a cleft lip or performing a breast reconstruction, I remain committed to improving on an individual's natural beauty with the latest techniques in cosmetic and aesthetic plastic surgery as well as delivering the highest quality care.

I think you will agree that trust matters most. I educate each of my patients so that they can make an intelligent and informed decision and be a full partner in a successful healing process. Being open and honest with my patients as to what they can anticipate in the way of results and potential risks and complications is extremely important. I would not perform a procedure on one of my patients that I would not willingly perform on a member of my own family. I have always looked at my work as the patient. It is someone who has entrusted and given me the privilege to operate on them and, in turn, to enable them to feel better about themselves.

Once the decision is made to go ahead with surgery, I bring a thoughtfully considered, aesthetic sense to the surgical procedure. The science - and the art - of plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery rests with the kind of individualized care I have provided to my patients over the past 20 years.
