Background
Dr. J’s background is extraordinary. Before founding one of the nation’s most respected and successful plastic surgery practices in 2008, Dr. J began his surgical career on the East Coast. Starting with an internship at New York University (NYU), Dr. J next became Chief Resident at Morristown Memorial Hospital in New Jersey. A hand surgery fellowship at New York’s Beth Israel Medical Center taught him one of the most delicate and complex types of surgery. Later, Dr. J found his true calling in the even more challenging and extremely competitive discipline of plastic surgery while working with some of the nation’s finest plastic surgeons as a resident at Michigan’s Wayne State University, Detroit Medical Center.
Dr. J moved to the Los Angeles area to start his own practice and quickly established himself, working with such noted medical institutions as Cedars Sinai Medical Center and Saint John’s Health Center, where he maintains privileges until this day. Along with being one of the most sought-after physicians in the country, he has published a wide range of papers in many prestigious scientific and medical journals, has presented his research to local, regional, and national symposia and has volunteered on medical missions.
