People often ask me, 'How did you get involved with peripheral nerve surgery after a plastic surgery residency at Harvard?' The answer comes in two parts. First, many people don't realize that plastic surgical training involves work with many types of soft tissues including, skin, muscle, fat, bone and yes, nerves. We would often get called upon to re-attach limbs that had been amputated in accidents and as part of those procedures we would repair the injured nerves in order to restore function and sensation. Secondly, in deciding what type of surgeon I would become and what I would do following my training, I happened upon a colleague and friend who was doing some interesting surgical work with patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy. I spent some time with him and did several operations with him during my Chief Residency year and after that experience, knew that I had found what I would ultimately do with my life. After a whole additional year of training focusing on and learning how to operate on peripheral nerves, I landed in the Bay Area and knew I had found my new home.
