Dr. John N. Simons MD

Plastic surgery is the surgical specialty concerned with the restoration and alteration of the outer-body. Reconstructive surgery specifically focuses on correcting functional impairments, congentital abnormalities, and developmental abnormalities. Cosmetic plastic surgery is voluntary and purely aesthetic.

A surgeon is a medical doctor trained in the diagnosis and operative aspects of patient care. Like physicians, surgeons interact with patients to review medical histories, determine diagnoses, and form treatment plans. Surgeons use their knowledge of anatomy, physiology and more to treat diagnoses through adjustments to the inner body. They are additionally responsible for pre- and post-operative patient care.
