DR. Herve` GENTILE...

Corpus Christi Plastic Surgeon Dr. Herve` Gentile's interests in plastic surgery matured very early while at the University of Padua Medical School in Italy (the second oldest medical school in the world).   Dr. Herve` Gentile has performed thousands of procedures in his surgical career resulting in enhanced quality of life for his patients and currently devotes all his practice to cosmetic surgery. Dr Herve` Gentile considers it a privilege to be able to do what he does.

Dr. Herve` Gentile specializes in Cosmetic Surgery of the Breast, Body and Face and for this reason he has established A Better You Cosmetic Surgery Center in 1998, one of the first in office accredited surgical centers, dedicated to the complete care of the cosmetic surgery patient.  Dr. Herve` Gentile will take his time to listen to your needs and desires.  In addition to his cosmetic surgery practice Dr. Herve` Gentile for many years has found time to dedicate to the community by performing reconstructive birth defect surgery, especially cleft lip and cleft palate repairs, at Driscoll Children's Hospital.  Dr. Gentile held a Plastic Surgery Clinic in the Valley in South Texas devoting a day each month for the children who could not come to the Corpus Christi Children's Plastic Clinic.

When you choose Dr. Herve` Gentile you are entrusting him with your appearance and you should know that his training and experience are of the highest standards so that you can confidently and comfortably put your expectations into his skillful hands. Dr. Herve` Gentile completed an 8 year long residency training to fulfill his desire to become a plastic surgeon and be able to improve a patient's quality of life.  He is one of the few doctors in the US that is triple board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.  His interests in Plastic Surgery are many and they include holding a teaching position as Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic Surgery) at the University of Georgia (MCG).  It is important to you that your surgeon be a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (this is why you will see fellow surgeons writing FACS after MD).  The American College of Surgeons admits to its Fellowship only those applicant surgeons who agree to abide by the College code of conduct after a very thorough investigation of the their entire surgical practice as well their professional and ethical behavior. This is another difficult step to climb for those who aspire to become the best physicians providing care to you.

Dr. Herve` Gentile has been elected by his peers for inclusion in the BEST DOCTORS IN AMERICA® from 2009 to 2010 in the subspecialty of Body Cosmetic Surgery.  The selection is done after an exhaustive peer-review survey by thousands of independent doctors who ultimately determine which outstanding doctor will be included in their database.  The only way to be recognized and voted as a Best Doctor is for the doctor to earn high marks for clinical ability from his or her peers.  Only the top 3-5 % of  US doctors are deemed deserving to be included on the Best Doctor list.

Dr. Herve` Gentile has a genuine love since his early teens for plastic surgery and all of the arts, actually he was motivated to seek a career in plastic surgery because of his love of art; in addition, he is not just one who appreciates paintings and sculpture but one who creates them and he is an accomplished painter and sculptor.
