Dr Patrick Felice: Owner

After a 5-year residency in General/Trauma surgery and completing board certification, Dr. Felice wanted to combine his artistic passion, with a desire to help patients feel comfortable within their own bodies. It was then, he went on to complete his Plastic Surgery training, obtaining his second board certification, and started his private practice in 1990.

Dr. Felice's background is broad. The son of a stone mason, he was raised to understand the value of hard work and ethical behavior. He has played musical instruments since the age of 5 and enjoys oil painting. His artistic background has given him an appreciation for nature always striving to achieve natural results for his patients.

His greatest joy is the expression of happiness his patients share upon completion of their procedures. Maintaining ongoing relationships with his patients is of tremendous value to him and gives him continued joy in his work.
