Center for Dermatology & Plastic Surgery 3530 S.

The Gilbert resident is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who deals with the ravages of skin cancer. The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery has grown to nine clinics across the Valley since he joined the practice in 2015. And while post-cancer reconstructive surgery accounts for 60 percent of reconstructive and plastic surgery, the rest is cosmetic – such as face and neck lifts, eyelid and breast enhancements and what Dr. Kelly called “mommy makeovers.”
