Many people in the Bay Area require some form of facial surgery. This may be something as simple as a facelift in order to keep that youthful appearance, or it could be as the result of an accident resulting in facial trauma.
There are several maxillofacial surgeons in the Bay Area, but few have the amazing skills, years of training, and experience as Dr Alex Rabinovich. He began his medical training at Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery in New York where he graduated with his DDS degree. Following this, he attended the State University of New York, Downstate School of Medicine, obtaining his MD. After this he went to Kings County Hospital where he undertook a residency in General Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Here he developed a special interest in facial cosmetic surgery and was invited to take a Fellowship at Georgetown University / Posnick Center for Facial Plastic Surgery. During his time here he worked with some of the world’s leading surgeons in the field of facial plastic surgery, occuloplastic surgery and craniofacial surgery from Georgetown and Johns Hopkins Universities.
Today, Dr Rabinovich is one of the very top maxillofacial surgeons in the Bay Area. His skills are renowned throughout the medical profession and he is the author of several medical publications. In addition he is frequently sought after to speak at dental and medical conventions.

In the case of facial trauma surgery, insurance should not be an issue. However, in the case of cosmetic surgery it may be that you consider it will not be covered by insurance.
