An American Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Flores’ clinical and practical experience, and innate talent, is world-renowned. Domestically, Dr. Flores enjoyed a full-time faculty position in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. His gift for both performing and teaching surgery led to invitations to lecture and teach abroad. He now regularly travels internationally to instruct foreign surgeons on surgical techniques he has pioneered or practiced to perfection. Dr. Flores performs over 650 surgeries annually and has privileges at all local-area hospitals. He continually is recruited to improve upon medical equipment, and currently consults on the make and surgical use of state-of-the-art technologies.
Locally, Dr. Flores’ generous heart is legendary. In addition to taking his time when consulting with patients, Dr. Flores’ attention to his patients’ well-being post-operation is unparalleled. This is true for paying patients and for the countless patients who have benefited from Dr. Flores’ philanthropic work. Every year, Dr. Flores attends four to five international medical missions where he performs surgeries for cleft lips, cleft palates, burn scars, and other congenital deformities. He has been involved in missionary work since his college years and continues to devote himself to healing people in impoverished communities.
Dr. Flores grew up several blocks away from Johns Hopkins and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology while playing football for the Maryland Terrapins from 1989-1994. He graduated from the University of Maryland Medical School and completed residencies in both Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology. A perfectionist, humanitarian, and above all, a humble surgeon, Dr. Flores’ dedication to surgery and commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the practice he founded, Flores Plastic Surgery.
