Practice Philosophy

The medical landscape of advanced skincare and cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery is continually evolving. The demand for more inventive, less invasive procedures to improve the appearance of one’s face and body is ever increasing.  With this in mind, the mission of Aspen Institute of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is to incorporate these revolutionary treatments and procedures into our practice while maintaining a patient-first atmosphere that emphasizes a patient’s physical and emotional well-being.

We offer a unique experience to our patients, one that reflects the Aspen Idea: the concept of the complete life where mind, body, and spirit are enriched.  An evaluation by one of our surgeons is a comprehensive process that will include a detailed review of a patient’s medical and aesthetic history.  Treatment plans with be tailored to one’s lifestyle and ensure a natural and rejuvenating result.   We also emphasize patient education, thus empowering patients to improve their physical and mental health under the guidance of our experienced surgeons. Furthermore, we have incorporated the tenants that are ascribed by the American Board of Plastic Surgery: a strict adherence to an unwavering code of ethics, an emphasis on patient safety, compassion, surgical precision, and an embrace of advanced clinical research.

Since the creation of the Aspen Institute of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 1997, we have strived to offer a more fulfilling experience for our skin care, plastic surgery and reconstructive patients. Most recently, we have expanded our treatment options to include a full array of aesthetician and laser services.  With the assistance of our experienced aestheticians, our surgeons are now able to formulate skin care protocols that address every aspect of skin health.   This is extremely useful for patients who require either cosmetic or reconstructive procedures and for those patients who are challenged with the skin changes associated with sun damage and age.

All of our surgical procedures are performed at Aspen Valley Hospital.  Aspen Valley Hospital is well known for its personalized care, advanced technology, and comprehensive services.

Outpatient procedures are performed in the comfort and privacy of our state-of-the-art office in downtown Aspen.
