Best Plastic Surgeon Oakland Near Me

4worldlovers: Hello! - Welcome to my Kaiser Permanente physician home page. I am a Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon based at the Oakland Medical Center, although I sometimes travel to our Richmond and San Leandro facilities, too.

Plastic Surgery is a problem-solving type of surgical subspecialty and I enjoy the challenges each patient brings.

"The deformities requiring operations of this class are necessarily so dissimilar in different cases; everyone becomes a separate study to the surgeon and opens a fresh field for the exercise of his mind in restoring the lost or deformed parts."

I treat both children and adults. I help with problems all over the body. I reconstruct injuries to the soft tissues, extensive scars, large birthmarks or vascular malformations, defects after cancer surgeries, complex wounds, and problems due to burn injuries, among others. I often work with other surgeons to help reconstruct the body after cancer or trauma using flaps, grafts, and microsurgical and non microsurgical techniques. I do skin cancer excisions in sensitive areas like the face or ears if removal will cause a difficult problem maintaining a normal appearance or function.

In the East Bay we have an interest in breast cancer. I offer many types of reconstruction; all types of implant reconstruction, oncoplastic partial breast reconstruction, and your own soft tissue breast reconstructions with microsurgical techniques such as the DIEP flap. I also perform all sorts of breast surgery; for large breasts and congenital breast issues.
