Practice Philosophy

During my plastic surgery residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, I learned to appreciate the importance of maintaining the highest level of technical skills, innovation and ethical standards to care for patients undergoing plastic surgery. In my practice here in western Maryland, I have come to appreciate the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere of the Appalachian Mountains . At Allegany Plastic Surgery, I like to think that we have the best of both worlds: state-of-the-art plastic surgical services in a warm, small town atmosphere.
