Overview
I am fortunate to have a profession that allows me to apply my skills to help children and adults who have challenging problems. My areas of clinical focus include cleft lip and palate, craniofacial surgery, functional and cosmetic nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) for adolescents and adults, facial paralysis, vascular malformation, ear surgery, congenital hand abnormalities, and birth-related brachial plexus injury. Often, I am asked how I chose this profession. To me, plastic surgery combines technical challenge with creativity and problem solving. My patients' problems are usually apparent to others and create a layer of issues related to self-esteem. To a child born with a facial disfigurement, surgery provides a change that is needed to grow up and feel like any other kid. In consultation, my job is three-fold: to listen to concerns, to study problems, and to provide accurate, unbiased information about the possibilities. I am motivated only by my patients’ happiness. If I do not feel that surgery will realistically achieve my patients’ goals, I have no reason to recommend it. To a parent, there is no such thing as minor surgery. The same is true for adult patients who are making an important decision for themselves.

Duke Aesthetic Center
My interest in becoming a doctor can be traced to elementary school when every kid is asked what they want to be when they grow up. Surgery became a clear career decision because it provided instant results and changes in my patients' condition. To this day, I still get excited about going to the operating room and being able to immediately affect the lives of my patients. I specifically enjoy reconstructive surgery and hope to help people who suffer from congenital disorders, cancer, and trauma. My clinical interests include complex oncologic microsurgical reconstruction from head to toe. Additionally, I am interested in both dynamic and static facial reanimation procedures for adult and pediatric patients. In my free time, I enjoy spending time and traveling with friends and family.
