Plastic surgery is Dr. Teitelbaum's true passion. His primary focus is his patients and he augments that care by learning, writing, and teaching. Medical research and writing provides deep intellectual satisfaction in addition to further developing Dr. Teitelbaum's skills as a communicator and surgeon. He serves as a reviewer of journal articles for both of the major plastic surgery publications and, importantly, has helped advance the state of plastic surgery for the good of all patients through his own publications.
Dr. Teitelbaum has lectured throughout the United States and around the world to meetings large and small. His colleagues listen to his knowledge of the latest advances in plastic surgery and his insightful approach to them. There is an adage that the teacher learns more from preparing a talk than a student does hearing it, and with each lecture Dr. Teitelbaum further synthesizes and advances his holistic understanding of plastic surgery.
