Why Dr. Liberman Chose Facial Plastic Surgery

At Cornell, Dr. Lieberman was awarded several academic distinctions including the school’s top prize awarded to the 3 top performers throughout medical school. For his academic achievement, he was inducted early into the Alpha Omega honor society.

Dr. Lieberman’s achievements led him back to Stanford University for surgical training in the highly competitive field of head and neck surgery. Through his experience and mentorship at Stanford, he chose to pursue a career dedicated to the cosmetic and reconstructive enhancement of the face.

Following residency, he was accepted into one of the top fellowships in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery with world-renowned surgeon, Dr. Vito C. Quatela, a past president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Dr. Lieberman was the winner of the Jack R.

His commitment to excellence shines through in each procedure he performs for his patients.
