In His Own Words
“After I graduated from college, I became a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa. I saw a lot of people with hand problems, cleft lips and palates, and bad burn injuries, so I decided I wanted to become a physician. During medical school I decided to become a plastic surgeon. A big part of my practice now is going overseas once a year to work in developing countries to help children with cleft lips and palates, hand problems, and burns.

I find helping children with cleft lip and palate tremendously rewarding. I enjoy working with the children and their parents and have a good working relationship with our cleft lip and palate team. It’s a very satisfying experience.”
