Dr. Christopher J. Salgado is private practice physician after 19 years in academic practice where he functioned as a Full Professor and previous Interim Chief of Plastic Surgery of the University of Miami.

He completed his undergraduate education in 1990 at Boston University with a degree in Applied Anatomy and Physiology.

For four years, Dr. Salgado served as a Major in the United States Army. During this time, he began his scientific research on Reconstructive Surgery while tending to the medical needs of soldiers injured in combat. Following his services with the armed forces, Dr. Salgado completed his fellowship in Microvascular Reconstruction at the E-Da Hospital/I-Shou University in Taiwan in 2005 and would serve as a Research Scholar until 2008.
