Russel PalmerDr

Dr. Palmer attended the University of Miami Medical School until 1980. He completed his internship and general surgery residency at Beth Israel Hospital, Harvard Medical School in 1985 where he was appointed and served as the surgical chief resident. After completing his general surgical training at Beth Israel Hospital, a Harvard University teaching hospital, Dr. Palmer moved to California, where he completed his plastic surgery residency at the UCLA Medical Center.

Following his graduation from UCLA in 1987, Dr. Palmer completed a microsurgical and hand surgery fellowship and served as a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Plastic Surgery at UCLA in 1988. Dr. Palmer then moved to Hollywood, FL, where he started his private practice in 1989. His safety record is unblemished, and he brings his experience of having performed thousands of operations to his established and prospective patients

Dr. Palmer has customized his patient care protocol to the point that he does not need to use general anesthesia with any of his office-based procedures, including breast and abdominal surgery. His surgeries are done under IV sedation anesthesia, which does not require intubation, insertion of breathing tubes, or inhalation of gases.

Sedation anesthesia is administered intravenously. Patients are breathing on their own and controlling their bodily functions. They remain completely asleep during the procedure, have no awareness, and feel no pain during their operation.
