Why Plastic Surgery in Portland, Maine?
Dr. Zelones joined Plastic + Hand Surgical Associates in 2019. As a resident in plastic, reconstructive, and hand surgery at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center he had the opportunity to work with the Plastic + Hand surgeons. He enjoyed working with the group as everyone was extremely talented but also very easy to get along with. The lifestyle in Maine is second to none and the Portland area also reminds him of his hometown of San Diego.
Philosophy of Care
Dr. Zelones believes that plastic surgery is not another surgical specialty but a way of thinking about surgical problems. Techniques learned from training allow us to operate on skin/muscles/tendons/vessels/nerves/bones from head to toe on all patients regardless of their age. It is important to have a plan “A” for a surgical problem but more importantly to have a plan “B” and plan “C” in case your initial plan does not work.
