Dr David Straughan is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who uses his skills to perform both cosmetic and reconstruction surgeries. He is fellowship-trained in craniofacial reconstruction and facial aesthetics. What is your patient care philosophy? My goal is to treat every patient with the respect that they deserve. Whether I am meeting a patient on their worst day or discussing cosmetic surgery, I want them to know that we are on a journey together as a team. Why did you decide to become a physician? I chose plastic and reconstructive surgery as it seemed like a perfect avenue to help people with a variety of needs.
