Meet Dr. Stover

Aloha and welcome to my website. I hope that you find it interesting and easy to use. My staff and I have worked hard over the past four years to develop an office where patients feel comfortable and receive excellent care. This website introduces patients to all of the many procedures and services that we provide, from the most minimally invasive skin care treatments to quite invasive total facial cosmetic surgery. I was in training for quite a long time and so now have knowledge and expertise in not only the entire spectrum of facial cosmetic and oral surgery, but also cosmetic dermatology and laser procedures. From my almost monthly travels to educational meetings and visits to other offices I know that there are few practices in the US that offer a spectrum of services and procedures that we offer.

I pride myself in continually updating my knowledge and skill in the latest surgical and non-surgical procedures and techniques.

Thank you for visiting my new website. Whatever reason you have visited this site, I hope that you find it informative and that you feel comfortable coming to one of my offices for a consultation.
