Robert George, MD

Plastic Surgery Resident

Robert grew up in Aspen, Colorado and was quickly drawn to plastic surgery after watching his father, an oral-maxillofacial surgeon, earn recognition in the community for helping improve a patient’s quality of life after treating a defect or a trauma injury. He went to Occidental College in Los Angeles for undergraduate before attending medical school at the University of Illinois College of Medicine – Peoria. He is also a lieutenant in the United States Navy and is honored to be able to give back to his country and his patients.

His main surgical interests are craniofacial and peripheral nerve surgery. In his free time, he enjoys running, biking, kayaking, exercising, and playing the violin.
