Dr. Strock is a native Texan, originally from Austin. He is a graduate of Amherst College and received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. He completed residencies in Surgery and Plastic Surgery at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, where he later served as Assistant Professor of Surgery, Division of Plastic Surgery. While serving on the faculty at UTMB, Dr. Strock focused his efforts on cosmetic surgery of the breast and face and reconstructive breast surgery. Dr. Strock first began to use endoscopic techniques at UTMB in 1996 for the placement of saline breast implants through a one-inch armpit incision, and for rejuvenation of the upper face and brow, and for mobilization of muscle flaps used for reconstruction in patients with breast cancer. He began his private practice in Fort Worth in 1996 and has focused on further advances in Transaxillary Endoscopic Breast Augmentation, developing refinements in technique that allow for both silicone gel and saline breast implants to be placed with no incisions on the patient's breasts. In addition to breast augmentation, Dr. Strock also continues to use minimal incision techniques routinely in the placement of breast implants, selected patients for implant revision or replacement, breast lift, and rejuvenation of the upper face, brow and eyelid areas.
