Dr. Roland was recognized upon his graduation for outstanding achievement by receiving the Leo M. Davidoff Award for his teaching of Plastic Surgery. Before becoming a New York plastic surgeon, Dr. Roland devoted a year to research during his training, as the Jacques Maliniac Microsurgery fellow, where he conducted groundbreaking research on the effects of pulsed magnetic energy on new blood vessel formation.
