His work spans cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, nose, eyelids, head and neck, including rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation.

For cheek enhancement he uses surgical implants, fat transfer or advanced dermal fillers. He also offers minimally invasive options including BOTOX, Dysport and filler. In injectable consultations, he talks through a patient's cosmetic goals and recommends injectables to meet them.

He trained at the University of Iowa, completed residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, and finished a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Rochester. He is double board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology, and holds the MD and FACS credentials.
