Meet Our South Florida Plastic Surgeons
Timothy Alexander, MD
Dr. Timothy Alexander always knew that his passion in life was to practice cosmetic surgery. This passion caused him to spend his early years as a surgeon traveling around the world learning new and different techniques from some of the world's top plastic surgeons. Dr. Alexander's additional training (his training exceeds Board Certification requirements by a full 5 years) gives him the unique ability to draw upon experiences that most other plastic surgeons lack. Moreover, this training when combined with his 30 years of active practice, make him one of the best trained and most experienced surgeons in Florida.

"I consider myself very fortunate for having had the opportunity of being guided and taught by some of the most brilliant plastic surgeons around the world, who have mastered, in their own unique way, the art of cosmetic surgery. Thanks to this, I was exposed to many different and excellent techniques which helped me to develop my own skills and techniques to the maximum". Timothy Alexander, M.D., F.R.C.S., Ed. UK.
