Dr. Choe knew he wanted to become a surgeon early on in his life. He remembers the anatomy class during his junior year in high school and how much he enjoyed the dissection lab. Dr. Choe spent several summers during his medical school shadowing a well-known cardiothoracic surgeon in his hometown of Tacoma, Washington. He imagined being a famous heart surgeon someday. It wasn't until his senior year in medical school that he realized that facial plastic surgery had better suited his life goals. "I realized that life is more than just enjoying work, and I am glad I made the discovery." He credits his mentors and fellowship director for his love for facial plastic surgery. As the premier facial plastic & reconstructive surgery practice in the greater Hampton Roads area, Dr. Choe is committed to helping his patients achieve their goals with natural results that are individually focused.
He looks forward to meeting you soon. Trust your face to a facial plastic surgeon.
Dr. Choe received his undergraduate degree with honors from Occidental College and his medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine Dentistry. He completed his Head Neck surgical training at the New York Eye Ear Infirmary in Manhattan under the tutelage of some of the world’s preeminent head, neck and plastic surgeons.
Dr. Choe believes that recent advances in plastic surgery have changed the way we view cosmetic enhancement today. Techniques and aesthetics have improved greatly, offering the patient more amazing options for the goals they are seeking.
The nose is such a distinctive part of our face. As we get older, we either appreciate it for what it is or we wish it looked different somehow.
