Clinical Specialties
Dr. King's practice focuses on plastic and reconstructive surgery for infants, children and adults. He has special interests in pediatric plastic surgery; cleft lip and palate surgery; microsurgery, orthognathic (jaw) surgery, and the treatment of birthmarks and vascular lesions. He also performs general reconstruction of the adult trunk, extremities, and head and neck as well as aesthetic and cosmetic surgery.
Research Interests
Dr. King's research focuses on the development of tissue engineered constructs for use in reconstructive plastic surgery. His research has focused on elucidating the regulatory mechanisms required for neovascularization into engineered tissues. He is also interested in merging stem cell biology with tissue engineering to create viable tissue constructs.
Professional Activities
Dr. King is a member of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and an associate member of the American College of Surgeons.
