November 08, 2026 | Awards, Plastic Surgery News
I was very grateful and happy. We didn’t know before the actual event and award presentation, so it was hard to keep it under wraps. We could only share with so few of our staff, but the event itself made that word real, and we were able to celebrate as a team.
That is how the Best of El Paso 2026 results reached us. For the sixth year in a row, the readers of El Paso Inc. voted me Best Plastic Surgeon and Best Cosmetic Surgeon. Southwest Plastic Surgery also made the top three for Med Spa and for Tattoo Removal.
Why a Reader Vote Is Different
Board certification, the Mayo Clinic fellowship, the Castle Connolly list, the Texas Tech appointment. I am proud of all of it, and none of it was decided by a patient. This vote was. El Paso Inc. opens the poll every May and people in this city write in the names they trust. Somebody I operated on, or somebody’s sister, sat down and typed my name into a form. Six years of that is the review I care about most.
I Cannot Pin It on One Person
I was asked to name the one thing that earned it this year. I don’t think I can pinpoint the merit to just one event or one person. It is really a team approach to plastic surgery and a patient-centered philosophy. Just like plastic surgery is my passion, every member of the team feels the same way and shows up to work to give their very best representation of Southwest Plastic Surgery. I believe they really enjoy what they do, and just like I feed off of the patient’s happiness, they do as well.
Two of the four honors this year belong to the MedSpa team. With so many med spas in the Southwest, it is really significant to be ranked among the top three. This really shows that our patients are happy with the services they are provided and that our focus on patient care truly pays off. I think one of the factors that sets our med spa apart is that it is led by a board-certified plastic surgeon, myself, who has a passion for providing state-of-the-art therapies and treatments in a safe environment.
What Six Years Changes
Your vote of confidence only reassures me that we are providing top-level plastic and cosmetic surgery services in the Southwest. It motivates me to continue to grow and seek out the latest technologies for our community.
We are very happy to have put El Paso and the Southwest on the map for top-level plastic and cosmetic surgery services. We are proud to say that over 70% of our patients travel from other cities and states, and even countries, for these services, and that also reinforces our pride in El Paso and the community. The people who live here voted first.
Thank You, El Paso
To El Paso and the Southwest community, I am very grateful. To our patients and everyone who voted: thank you for your trust and continued support. These honors belong to all of us.
