Howard Rosenberg, M.D. Plastic Surgeon	“I was in my teens when I decided I wanted to become a physician and was initially drawn to cardiac surgery. I was introduced to plastic surgery when I was interning at UCLA and remember being immediately struck by how passionate the other surgeons were about this specialty. It piqued my interests and the more I explored my options, the more convinced I became that plastic surgery was to become my area of expertise. “This is a very creative field and I love the fact that it is primarily elective – patients come to you not because they have to but because they want to make a positive change. It’s very rewarding to see the gratitude in someone’s eyes when you’ve been able to fulfill their expectations and improve their self-image. “I enjoy my profession and am very proud to have built a practice that is well-received and respected within the community. But what gives my life meaning is the relationship I have with my wife and my three wonderful children. I’ve been married for 40 years and have managed to raise two physicians and a lawyer – I do consider that to be my greatest accomplishment.” Diplomate: American Board of Plastic Surgery Fellow: American College of Surgeons MD: Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD BA: Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD Surgical Training: UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA; Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA Member: American Society of Plastic Surgeons, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, California Society of Plastic Surgeons Appointments: Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery, Stanford University; Chairman, El Camino Hospital Department of Surgery Hospital Affiliations: El Camino Surgery Center, Mountain View, CA; El Camino Hospital, Mountain View, CA
