I’m Dr. Rouch, thanks for your interest in Boulder Plastic Surgery. As a board certified surgeon from the American Board of Plastic Surgery, I am committed to helping both my cosmetic and reconstructive patients embrace the best version of themselves, and believe in the role that plastic surgery can play in that journey. I bring compassion, high attention to detail, and devotion to excellence to every case. In doing so, I strive for comprehensive care of my patients – physically, mentally and emotionally. My approach will ensure you feel fully cared for and achieve your desired outcomes.

My upbringing and training have informed my compassionate and attentive approach to your care. I was born and raised just north of Indianapolis, Indiana. As the proud son of a surgeon and a nurse, I admired their dedication to helping others and have been set on joining the medical field from a young age. I spent my undergraduate years at Vanderbilt University studying Human and Organizational Development, setting a foundation of how to work in teams and communicate effectively with others. I then attended medical school at Indiana University where I was inducted into the prestigious Gold Humanism Honor Society given to those who exhibit excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion and dedication to service.

I moved to Los Angeles to train in general surgery at UCLA, one of the premier academic general surgery programs in the country and was voted most outstanding resident during each of my eligible years. I’m proud to have stayed at UCLA to join the world class Plastic and Reconstructive training program where I was able to hone my surgical skill through training with the country’s most eminent aesthetic and reconstructive surgeons. With such close ties to the aesthetic plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and West Los Angeles, I developed an understanding of how to critically appraise innovative techniques, devices and materials, and bring that knowledge and skill to Boulder.

To demonstrate my commitment to ongoing learning and innovation, as well as my dedication to excellent care, I am proud to hold a board certification from the prestigious American Board of Plastic Surgery, which is the standard bearer for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and am a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. While at UCLA, I spent two years as a tissue engineering research fellow within the UCLA Department of Bioengineering, where I was at the forefront of groundbreaking research and device development, even gaining a patent for a novel treatment of chronic wounds. So far I have authored over 25 peer reviewed publications featured in top journals such as JAMA Surgery and Plos One.

I am proud to be a part of the BPS team, bringing clinical expertise, intimate knowledge of the face, breast and body, and a warm personality to take the best care of patients in and around Boulder. While not with my patients, you can find me riding my bike, snowboarding, or exploring the outdoors with my wife Mae and our two young and precious children.
