About Me

I specialize in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, body contouring, skin cancer, pediatric plastic surgery and adult plastic and reconstructive surgery. One of my specialties is using an endoscopic method of breast augmentation, which does not leave a scar on the breast. I am also an associate professor at UVM Larner College of Medicine.

I find plastic surgery very fulfilling, especially breast surgery for cosmetic or reconstructive needs, and microsurgery. I enjoy working with patients to help them return to activities they could not do before surgery.
