IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA
Dr. Rod has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery since 2009. This certification meets the exacting standards of the coveted American Board of Medical Specialties founded in 1933.

Indeed, this society strongly counsels plastic surgeons to perform in an accredited surgical facility that has passed rigorous external review of equipment and staffing. Dr. Rod is proud to say that his onsite surgical facility is duly accredited.

Dr. Rod has also taught a course to prepare other plastic surgeons to pass the oral board examination, which is the last examination a plastic surgeon must pass to become certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has almost 17 years of training and experience in enhancing natural beauty with surgical and non-surgical procedures.
He also has just as many years of research experience under his belt, covering topics ranging from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (pretty heavy stuff) to “the use of post-operative local anesthetic delivery systems on patients having immediate expander-based breast reconstruction.”
During his downtime, Dr. Rod likes to kick back and watch the University of Wisconsin football team hit the field; he was especially excited to attend the 2015 Outback Bowl in Tampa, Florida, and see his Badgers beat the Auburn Tigers. His other passions are cheering on the Green Bay Packers, golfing, running, and serving inner-city youth through his participation as a Member of the Wesley Community Center Board of Directors.
