Practice Philosophy:
I have maintained a successful private practice in this community for the past 41 years. I have been actively involved in teaching and also sustaining a busy active practice primarily encompassing aesthetic (cosmetic), hand, cancer, and traumatic surgery. I am a strong advocate in professional medical ethics which reverts to my upbringing in a medical environment. I was fortunate to have been raised in a medically oriented family and was early on indoctrinated into the importance of proper expedient patient care and offering compassion to the patient and their family. My father-in-law was the first plastic surgeon in Pittsburgh, PA, (James A. Cowan Jr.) and my father was a well respected general surgeon in Johnstown, PA. These gentlemen both devoted most of their weekly daytime hours to the care of their patients. I, like them love my chosen profession. I feel proper understanding of the patients desires and needs, pre and post operatively, are as important as the surgical techniques applied. I spend a significant period of time with pre-operative patients evaluating personally each situation.
