If you are good at your job, people will sing your praises. Plastic Surgeon Dr. Robert Morin from New York gets many praises. Known for impeccable work and professionalism, Dr. Morin is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Craniofacial Surgeon and Pediatric Plastic Surgeon who has improved many lives over the past decade.
When asked to describe his personality, the surgeon answered, "I am a surgeon in every sense of the word. I am meticulous and precise, reliable and effective, intelligent and decisive. I help people every day in any way that I can. I am a man of my word and I believe this is one of the most important human attributes in life."
Most people have a good reason why they chose a particular field as their career. Successful plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Morin definitely has a good reason for why he went down his path. He shared that his father, a foot and ankle surgeon, inspired him from childhood by helping people. Hence, Robert decided to be a surgeon and to help as many people as possible, especially children. He says, "Reconstructive plastic surgery is incredibly challenging. I am constantly intellectually stimulated, and I need to call upon my vast knowledge and experience every day in order to solve complex problems and provide the best possible results for my patients."
Earning his board certification in plastic surgery was a long yet insightful journey for Dr. Morin. When asked what path he took in order to reach his goals, the surgeon gave an interesting answer. Dr. Morin revealed, "After college I took a year off and did HIV research at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City while studying for the MCAT and applying to medical school. We discovered a fascinating compound that prevented the entry of HIV into cells, and I was published in a major peer reviewed medical journal. I then spent the first summer of medical school working with a plastic surgeon in San Jose, Costa Rica. I subsequently did several clinical rotations in both plastic surgery and trauma surgery and I spent many nights reconstructing the faces of accident victims in the emergency room. This is where I developed my love for reconstructing the face."
From that point on, Dr. Morin’s goal was to help people, and specifically children, in any way that he could. Hence, it was a natural progression for him to go into craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery. “Today I perform a mix of both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. In any given week I might perform rhinoplasty, cleft lip repair, cranial vault remodeling for craniosynostosis or facial reconstruction in the setting of trauma or cancer. It’s a challenging career and I love it.”
