1 00:00:13.657 --> 00:00:17.100 I founded Tarrant Plastic Surgery in the summer of 2004. 2 00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:18.820 I grew up in Arlington, Texas, 3 00:00:18.850 --> 00:00:22.240 and after completing high school, I went to the University of Miami, 4 00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:26.060 where I both did my undergraduate and medical school training. 5 00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:31.140 I went to Rutgers University in New Jersey and did a residency in general surgery. 6 00:00:31.170 --> 00:00:34.843 I became board certified by the American Board of Surgery. 7 00:00:35.343 --> 00:00:38.014 I was then selected to the prestigious program 8 00:00:38.015 --> 00:00:40.143 of Indiana University Plastic Surgery. 9 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.000 There I became board certified after work 10 00:00:43.001 --> 00:00:45.571 through the American Board of Plastic Surgery. 11 00:00:45.810 --> 00:00:47.129 As a son of a doctor, 12 00:00:47.570 --> 00:00:50.459 I always knew the importance of how it is 13 00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:52.971 to take care of our patients extremely well, 14 00:00:53.243 --> 00:00:55.686 and I developed a passion from a very early age. 15 00:00:56.290 --> 00:00:59.986 In terms of surgery, I fell in love with being in the operating room. 16 00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:05.214 But sometimes in surgery, we spend a lot of time taking things apart. 17 00:01:05.629 --> 00:01:10.414 But I noticed what the plastic surgeons got to do was put things back together, 18 00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:13.570 and that's when I knew this is what I wanted to do. 19 00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:18.529 After returning home here to North Texas, I opened up my first location 20 00:01:18.530 --> 00:01:19.986 down in Fort Worth, Texas, 21 00:01:20.171 --> 00:01:24.660 and today enjoy an office in Keller and also in South Lake. 22 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:29.405 One of the most important things about being a doctor is, as I like to say, 23 00:01:29.406 --> 00:01:31.228 being a good doctor first. 24 00:01:31.229 --> 00:01:36.457 People's medical health and their wellness is at the top of priorities to me. 25 00:01:36.730 --> 00:01:38.799 Once I evaluate that people are actually 26 00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:42.800 great candidates for surgery, then it's about making good plans. 27 00:01:43.071 --> 00:01:46.260 I think what we do best in this practice is customize those plans. 28 00:01:46.290 --> 00:01:48.371 There are no cookie cutter operations, 29 00:01:48.570 --> 00:01:52.257 and we really believe that here at Tarrant Plastic Surgery. 30 00:01:52.543 --> 00:01:55.456 We are in the business of restoring, 31 00:01:55.457 --> 00:01:59.850 restoring function, restoring beauty, restoring confidence. 32 00:02:00.343 --> 00:02:02.628 It's an extreme privilege to be part 33 00:02:02.629 --> 00:02:05.460 of every one of my patient's transformations. 34 00:02:05.490 --> 00:02:10.170 In fact, our practice motto is specializing in beautiful transformations, 35 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:12.643 and that's what we hope to do each and every day.
