PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY/STATEMENT: A full-time faculty member and associate professor at Baylor College of
Medicine in Houston's Texas Medical Center, I emhasize skillful, compassionate medical care. A significant portion of my practice
centers around hand surgery and reconstructive microsurgery, accenting congenital hand and arthritic conditions and hand trauma. I
manage skin cancers and reconstructions following skin, breast, oropharyngeal tumor removal and apply reconstructive principles in
performing aesthetic, facial, and body contouring plastic surgery procedures.
Hand Surgery, microvascular surgery, general reconstructive surgery, and aesthetic surgery.
