Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. Dr. Navarro received his training in general surgery from the State

He then pursued a fellowship in microsurgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY,
prior to completing his residency in plastic surgery at Nassau University Medical Center on Long Island,
NY. Dr. Navarro is always current with new innovations, including the fascinating field of lasers, so he
