Exceptional training to offer patients safety, comfort.

"My patients' safety and comfort are critical, so where I received my training was very important to me. There's no better teacher than the actual creator of a technique, so I was thrilled when I was accepted to train under the developer of tumescent liposuction, Jeff Klein MD. Now I can deliver the most advanced, safe, and comfortable form of liposuction to my patients."

A real commitment to people and his profession.

"Playing an active role in professional associations and networking with other physicians keeps me in touch with the latest techniques. We have been performing laser surgery since 1992. We were the first in the area to perform laser skin resurfacing and spider vein treatment. We were also the first in the area to obtain the LightSheer Laser, which was the first laser to recieve approval from the FDA for permanent hair reduction. Becoming an expert with such advanced equipment enables me to continue to give my patients exquisite results with minimul discomfort."

Dedication to exceeding patients' expectations.

"One of the most important things I stress while teaching is that it's essential to recognize everyone as a unique individual with their own desires and expectations. l also emphasize the importance of thoroughly and objectively explaining equipment and procedures to patients - which dramatically reduces the intimidation they might otherwise feel."
