Profile of Joseph Woods IV

Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of Dr. Woods’ career has been the opportunity to serve in missionary hospitals in the developing world. Starting in 2000, Dr. Woods and his family began serving through the international relief organization Samaritan’s Purse. They have worked in mission hospitals in Kenya, Zambia, and Ethiopia. After learning of the severe lack of healthcare providers in these regions, Dr. Woods has viewed it a privilege to work alongside full time missionary physicians and national doctors, operating and also teaching plastic surgery procedures.

Presently, Dr. Joseph M. Woods IV serves as chief of plastic surgery at Piedmont Hospital. Atlanta Magazine has published the “TOP DOC” issue regularly, including a peer physician survey of the top vote recipients from all specialties. Dr. Woods has been on the top plastic surgery list every issue since 1999, most recently July 2018. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Southern Society of Clinical Surgeons, and the Christian Medical and Dental Association.
