That's interesting: His first degree was in Neurobiology with High Honors from UC Berkeley (1986). He completed medical school at UC Irvine in 1990 and started a General Surgery residency that year at UC Irvine. He completed General and Plastic Surgery Residencies at UC Irvine in 1995 and 1997 respectively.
The doctor's post-graduate activities have included several publications in the medical journals, a regular series of articles in local newspapers and expert reviewer status for the California Medical Board since 2003. As an honest blogging plastic surgeon the doctor is frequently quoted in the Orange County Register and has appeared on a few television interviews as a voice of reason.
How did you start your journey to plastic surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is part of a plastic surgery residency. My beginning was in the cosmetic surgery clinic of the university in the mid-nineties. It is no secret that cosmetic surgery is the financial subsidy upon which a plastic surgery practice operates.
Can you tell us more about your clinic?
We run a very small shop for patients interested in a more intimate experience...
