Profile of Paul Pierce, Dr

Dr. Paul Pierce M.D. is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with a private practice in Colorado Springs that focuses on breast and body cosmetic procedures and breast reconstruction.

Since his youth, Dr. Pierce has had a strong interest in art. From drawing and painting to origami and woodworking, he has tried his hand at anything that allows him to be creative. He has painted canvases that now adorn the walls of his home and built a playhouse and climbing wall with a backdrop that mirrors Pikes Peak for his three kids. While studying in high school and college, he was also drawn to the sciences. Learning how nature and the human body worked was fascinating. Eventually, these two interests collided in the field of plastic surgery. The origin of the term plastic comes from the Greek work plastikos, which means to “form” or “mold.” It is not uncommon to hear Dr. Pierce refer to plastic surgery as the perfect blend of art and science.

Dr. Pierce graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. He then attended The University of Texas Medical School at Houston and graduated in 2007 with the added prestige of Alpha Omega Alpha membership and The Hitoshi C. Nikaidoh MD Award for Humanism in Medicine. Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society is the only national medical honor society. Members are selected on the basis of academic achievement, public and school service accomplishments, and demonstrated professionalism. The Hitoshi C. Nikaidoh Award was established in memory of Hitoshi C. Nikaidoh, who tragically died in an accident in August 2003, two months after beginning his residency training. Dr. Nikaidoh was known for his exemplary interpersonal skills, ever-present smile, and caring, giving nature toward patients, colleagues, and everyone he encountered. This award honors those qualities in a graduating medical student selected by the faculty.
