During my plastic surgery residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, I learned to appreciate the importance of maintaining the highest level of technical skills, innovation and ethical standards to care for patients undergoing plastic surgery. In my practice here in western Maryland, I have come to appreciate the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere of the Allegany Mountains. At Allegany Plastic Surgery, I like to think we have the best of both worlds: state-of-the-art plastic surgical services in a warm, small town atmosphere. Your Consultation Nestled in the picturesque mountains of western Maryland, Cumberland offers excellent medical services. Our community boasts two 250 bed hospitals (which act as referral centers for western Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia), a Maryland Regional trauma center, open heart surgery program and several "centers of excellence" in various specialties. Adjacent to the hospital, our office is a state-of-the-art, fully computerized, "chartless" office with digital imaging and photo morphing capabilities.
