Dr. Amir Karam, MD believes excellent communication and the ability to truly understand
the desires of the patient is the foundation of a successful outcome.  "My personal taste is
not nearly as important as addressing the patient’s expectations.”   This is the key to his
patients’ high rate of satisfaction.  Dr. Karam’s experience and knowledge of facial anatomy
help guide decision-making and serve to develop a realistic and safe treatment plan.  After
a decade of focused medical and surgical training, “I believe when it comes to the face,
there is no other standard than that of excellence. I pride myself on providing technically
sound, elegant, natural and lasting results”.
