About Us

Empowering individuals with subtle yet impactful transformations, fostering confidence and self-assurance

Who we are:

We are a group of experienced board-certified plastic surgeons who perform the gamut of plastic, reconstructive and hand surgery.  We take pride in caring for cancer and trauma patients, and we excel at helping people transform their bodies in the realm of elective cosmetic surgery. 

We are problem solvers. We are here for you.

Some patients come to us in the midst of injury or trauma, a new cancer diagnosis, or congenital issues. Others come to improve their look after weight loss, pregnancy, or just from aging. Whatever your reason, as plastic surgeons we are problem solvers and we are here for you.

One unique aspect of our field is the opportunity to work collaboratively with almost every medical and surgical specialty. We work regularly with breast surgeons and perform breast reconstruction after mastectomy. We work with cancer surgeons to remove tumors and provide reconstruction for all parts of the body. We daily work with dermatologists in the realm of skin cancer, benign soft tissue tumors and other skin conditions. We are busy with breast reduction surgeries which are life changing for patients. We are experts at cosmetic surgeries such as breast augmentations, breast lifts, tummy-tucks and liposuction. For patients who have had major weight loss, surgeries such as belt-lipectomy, brachioplasty and thigh lift are transformative.

Our fellowship trained hand surgeons have taken additional years of training and provide expert hand and wrist surgical and non-surgical care for conditions such as carpal tunnel, tendonitis, trigger finger, fractures, arthritis and all varieties of hand trauma.  Please see our site at www.rochesterhandcenter.com to learn more about hand surgery.
