About Dr. A. Peter Salas

I chose the field of plastic surgery for two reasons. First, because I am very detail-oriented, and in plastic surgery, this attention to detail enhances the outcome. Second, plastic surgery involves procedures through-out the body that require a comprehensive understanding of the different anatomic areas and their interactions. As a result of my training at prestigious universities (University of Michigan, University of Washington, and Wayne State University) and more than 25 years of experience, other physicians often rely on me to manage their most complex patients. In fact, a large percentage of my patients are physicians, nurses, and their families. Many travel long distances to see me in our New York or New Jersey locations.
I treat every patient like a member of my own family. My philosophy is that no one should feel rushed during a consultation. I will spend as much time as is required making sure the patient’s needs are addressed and their questions are answered.
I always engage with patients in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The consultation is not just an opportunity for the patient to learn about the available surgical and non-surgical options; it also gives me a chance to get to know the patient and learn about their motivation for seeking our services. What I enjoy most is the impact plastic surgery can have on the way patients feel about themselves. It’s often like a blossoming flower, as evidenced by their renewed self-confidence in their interpersonal interactions.
Board-certified in plastic surgery and general surgery, I’m proud to have been recognized as a New Jersey Monthly Top Doctor for the past 16 years, featured in Newsweek as one of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons, and listed in Vogue as one of the Top Choices in the Tri-State Area.
