Dr. Samantha Cummins grew up in Connecticut and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Connecticut with a dual degree in Molecular Cell Biology and Global Health. She subsequently attended medical school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, graduating with admission to the Gold Humanism Honor Society and Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. Dr. Cummins completed a six-year plastic surgery residency at the prestigious University of Texas Southwestern and Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas where she was also appointed Administrative Chief Resident, a liaison between her peers and faculty.

Dr. Cummins’s primary clinical focus is on oncologic breast reconstruction, with a particular interest in alternative flap reconstruction. Her practice is heavily influenced by her training at UT Southwestern, where she was taught and mentored by expert surgeons who pioneered many of the cutting-edge techniques for breast cancer reconstruction including “stacked” flaps, profunda artery perforator (PAP) flaps, and lumbar artery perforator (LAP) flaps. She is experienced in deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap and direct-to-implant reconstructions as well, having performed hundreds of these cases during her training. Aside from breast reconstruction, her specialties also include primary and revisionary cosmetic breast surgery, abdominoplasty, and body contouring in the setting of massive weight loss.

With an unassuming personality and genuine ability to connect with patients, Dr. Cummins focuses on helping you to become the most confident version of yourself through a journey based on the highest level of trust, privacy and comfort. Dr. Cummins is excited to offer women increased access and options for breast cancer reconstruction with a goal to provide patients with patient-centered care, personalized surgical planning and the most natural results.
