As Division of Facial Plastic
and Reconstructive Surgery Director, Dr. Douglas M.
Sidle, believes in developing a close relationship with
his patients so that he may learn as much as he can
about their needs and concerns. It is his belief that

every step of the recovery process. His humanistic approach
coupled with his excellent background and technical
skill in facial plastic surgery provides a sense of
security and reassurance to his patients.
