Juan Jose Gilbert Fernandez, MD

As a highly skilled plastic and microvascular reconstructive surgeon dedicated to delivering exceptional, compassionate care, my journey in medicine began at age 15 when witnessing my first surgery—a life-changing moment that fueled my passion for helping others through surgery. Since then, I have devoted my career to restoring confidence and quality of life for patients seeking both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.

I specialize in breast cancer reconstruction, including advanced options such as oncoplastic reconstruction and DIEP flap procedures. My expertise extends to helping patients after massive weight loss, providing breast reductions, and offering a range of cosmetic enhancements. With an extensive background in reconstructive techniques, I am well-equipped to handle complex cases such as facial and lower extremity trauma with advanced microsurgical techniques as well as body lifts for massive weight loss patients, making me a top choice for patients with diverse surgical needs.

At the heart of my practice is a commitment to empathy, patient education, and proactive healthcare. My patient-centered approach emphasizes open communication and individualized treatment plans, helping each patient feel informed, comfortable, and empowered throughout their surgical journey. I am known for building lasting relationships with my patients, listening closely to their needs, and tailoring my care to ensure the best possible outcomes.

As part of the expert team at NYU Langone, I value coordinated, seamless care that supports patients every step of the way. Passionate about education, I frequently participate in community seminars and provide resources on reconstructive and cosmetic surgery options to help patients make informed decisions with confidence.

I am dedicated to combining exceptional surgical skills with compassion and precision, striving to exceed patient expectations and make a lasting positive impact on their lives.
