BIOGRAPHY
I started
my college education at the University of Colorado,
Boulder. Next I went to the Minerva Institute in Zurich,
Switzerland. I then attended the University of Michigan
in Ann Arbor, where I received my dental degree in 1961,
and my medical degree in 1965. While there, I was
inducted into several honor societies, including Dental
Academic, Medical Historical, and Medical Academic Honor
Fraternities.
I
continued at the University of Michigan as a resident in
general surgery after serving as a Captain in the U.S.
Army Medical Corps from 1966-1968, and completed my
residency in Plastic Surgery at Stanford University
Medical Center, where I held the position of Chief
Resident from 1971-1972. From there I traveled to Paris
to become the first American to assist Doctor Paul
Tessier in the techniques of craniofacial surgery.
Upon my
return to the United States, I was certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery in 1974, and have been
in the practice of plastic surgery in San Francisco
since then. I have fellowships with 185 medical
societies including American Society of Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgeons, American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery, International Society of Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery, Societe Francaise de Chirurgie
Plastique Reconstructrice et Esthetique, American
Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons, The Harry S. Benjamin
International Gender Dysphoria Association, and the
International Society of Craniofacial Surgery.
I am, and
have been, on the boards of many plastic surgical
societies, including being President of the American
Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons (1994-1995), and on
the editorial board of four different plastic surgery
journals. I am on the Advisory Committee for
"Recommended Guidelines for Transgender Care",
AEGIS.
I hold
staff memberships at several hospitals, including Davies
Medical Center, Saint Francis Memorial Hospital,
California Pacific Medical Center, and the University of
California, San Francisco, where I am a Clinical
Professor of Plastic Surgery, participating especially
with a panel of experts at the Center for Craniofacial
Anomalies. I have operated in many countries outside the
United States.
Throughout
my career, I have presented dozens of major scientific
papers, both nationally and internationally. I have
published scores of scientific papers. My recent medical
textbook, Aesthetic Contouring of the Craniofacial
Skeleton, was published in 1991.
