Providing comprehensive plastic and reconstructive surgical care

We provide complex reconstructive surgical care that Oregonians may not be able to find elsewhere. We work closely with other surgical specialties to find solutions for functional and appearance problems, so that Oregonians can get their quality of life back.  

Through our connections with OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and the Portland VA Medical Center, we offer faculty and staff exposure to plastic surgery procedures for adult and pediatric patients. 

What sets us apart

  • A team-based approach to providing care
  • The full breadth of plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures, including lymphatic surgery, gender surgery and complex pediatric craniofacial surgery
  • Experience with complicated plastic and reconstructive surgery cases 

Clinical programs 

Our programs include: 

Fellowships and a residency

We train fellows through our one-year Hand Surgery Fellowship and a one-year Craniofacial and Pediatric Plastic Surgery Fellowship. We also have the nation’s number one gender-affirming surgery fellowship and a Plastic Surgery Residency program.
