Thank you for visiting my website. Nothing can replace an in person consultation but I hope you find my site informative and that it gives you a sense of what to expect when you visit our office. Plastic surgery has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father was a plastic surgeon. I knew from very early on that I wanted to become a plastic surgeon and that I wanted to focus on cosmetic surgery.I enjoyed practicing with my father for a few years, from 1996-2000, and now he is enjoying his retirement and I have continued as the sole surgeon at the Merrillville, IN plastic surgery office. I started in private practice in the Chicago area in 1997 and founded CosMedic Skin and Body Clinic in 2001.
