A Personal Statement From Dr. Gilbert:

Dr. Gilbert finds passion in every aspect of plastic surgery. From when he is improving the aesthetic outlook in an elective cosmetic case, to the time at the emergency room when he is reconstructing a face. Early on in his career, Dr. Gilbert volunteered his time aiding people in third-world countries providing specialized plastic surgery care. He has developed his own Plastic Surgery Mission, offering free breast reconstruction for breast cancer survivors in Ecuador, where patients do not have access to microvascular breast reconstruction. Being able to improve a patient’s life by either restoring what cancer took away or by improving the aesthetic aspect of a patient’s look after trauma is what drives his motivation to become better every day. Dr. Gilbert also enjoys teaching at and participating in academic conferences. He holds an active academic appointment at Stony Brook School of Medicine and LSU (Louisiana State University) where he completed his microvascular surgery training.
