I am incredibly fortunate because I love what I do…
Plastic surgery combines anatomy, surgery, and visible results to make people feel whole again after reconstructive surgery or more confident after cosmetic surgery. Getting to know my patients, developing individualized treatment plans, and providing safe and evidence-based surgical care make my job meaningful. I believe in a patient-centered approach to plastic surgery.
I love working with patients who have a realistic sense of how plastic surgery can help refine or enhance their own beauty. My goal is not to entice patients into having procedures they don’t need, and I am more than happy to steer patients away from surgical procedures if they aren’t appropriate. Although I am proud of my education, training, and professional accomplishments, the most important thing that you will get from me as a patient is honesty and an evidence-based approach to patient care. I am a people person, not a salesman.
My practice is structured to allow me to spend time with you. This is the most fundamental part of being a doctor, and I take it very seriously. Understanding your perspective and learning your preferences is very important to me, as it forms the foundation of a relationship built on trust and a treatment plan that will meet your expectations. My team and I will not make you feel rushed, we will be available to you, and we will take excellent care of you. My priority is to provide natural, long-lasting results. I want you to feel like you are you, not like you’ve had plastic surgery.
Meet Dr. Halvorson
I grew up in Maplewood, NJ and went to Bates College in Maine. I attended Duke University School of Medicine and completed a general surgery residency at Brown University where I was given the “outstanding chief resident” award. I then completed a plastic surgery residency at Lahey Clinic that included rotations at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital of Boston, and Maine Medical Center. Throughout my surgical training, my goal was to become the most comprehensive surgeon possible. To that end, I pursued a fellowship in microsurgery and breast reconstruction at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
