On a more personal note: She is an avid reader, a self-proclaimed “foodie,” and secretly loves to binge on Netflix.

Throughout all of my work, I’ve found that cosmetic surgery is where my passions for medicine and aesthetics intersect. What I love most about working at Cosmoplastic Surgery is the genuine connections I’ve formed with the patients as well as the staff. Our team is so hands on, always willing to go above and beyond to provide the best possible experience for our patients.
