A fellowship-trained, board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon (FACS), this expert has developed a practice centered on complex microsurgical reconstruction and advanced soft tissue procedures. His clinical work includes free tissue transfer, flap-based reconstruction, limb salvage, and treatment of traumatic injuries affecting the upper and lower extremities. He also manages conditions involving nerve damage, chronic wounds, and post-surgical complications, combining functional restoration with aesthetic considerations.

In addition to reconstructive care, he maintains substantial experience in cosmetic surgery, including procedures involving the face, breast, and body. His surgical approach reflects a broad understanding of both elective and medically necessary interventions, with experience addressing congenital and acquired deformities, trauma-related defects, chronic wound conditions, and patient-driven cosmetic concerns. His work spans both acute injury management and long-term reconstructive planning.

He earned his Doctor of Medicine from Washington University School of Medicine and completed combined general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery residency training at the University of Chicago, where he served as Chief Resident in Plastic Surgery. He subsequently completed advanced fellowship training in hand and microsurgery at The Buncke Clinic, a leading center for microsurgical reconstruction. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts with honors in Philosophy and a minor in Biology from Washington University.

Alongside his clinical practice, he remains active in physician education, surgical training, and academic research. His contributions include involvement in the advancement of microsurgical techniques, reconstructive surgery, wound care, and outcomes-based clinical research. He has also participated in medico-legal work, providing case evaluations and expert opinions related to surgical decision-making, reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, treatment outcomes, and standards of care in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
