Meet our Surgeons

Residents rotate through  (a 516-bed Level I Trauma Center with a multidisciplinary cancer center) and  (a 306-bed Level I Trauma Center), located in the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center. They also spend time at the  (the regional Spinal Cord Injury and Breast Care Center),  in nearby Menomonee Falls, and get additional aesthetic experience at local hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. Residents participate in a large volume of diverse cases, with strengths in breast, craniofacial, hand and upper extremity, and microsurgery for traumatic and oncologic reconstruction

Trainees are exposed to a vast array of clinical pathology, patient populations, and case complexity. Decision-making, clinical care, and surgical experience are gained through graduated autonomy, ultimately preparing our residents to enter academic or private practice careers or proceed on to fellowship pursuits.

Department of Plastic Surgery believes in local and global health initiatives. A relationship has existed with the Plastic Surgery training program at the Universidad de Santander in Bucaramanga, Colombia for over three decades. An annual two-week mission trip concentrates on health inequities and collaborative plastic surgery training and education.

The Department of Plastic Surgery has many research projects mirroring the full range of plastic surgery. Each year our residents present their research to the faculty and a visiting professor.鈥� In cosmetic surgery, residents have studied surgical tourism and CT analysis of mid-face volume loss over time. Hand surgery research has covered diverse topics ranging from blast injuries to peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Our microsurgical faculty have mentored residents in studies of predictive factors for DIEP reconstruction, lower extremity flap debulking, and outcomes in orthotopic replantation. Our pediatric and craniofacial group has presented on pain control following pediatric intracranial procedures and outcomes of cleft lip and palate surgeries.
