I am an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College and will be focusing on plastic surgery. My office is in 655 Park Avenue (corner of 68th street). Please stop by if you are in the neighborhood or want to look like we did when we all first met. Or send me an email to catch up at md@doftplasticsurgery.com.

It has given me a reason to finally learn how to use Facebook, as well. Though born in Chicago, Trip is already a member of Red Sox Nation and is learning about all things New England as much as I can teach him.” “It has been years since I have spoken to anyone from DA so I thought I would touch base,” writes Michael Schenk. “This has been an exciting few years for me, musically, as I have been touring non-stop with a band called The Magic Wands on Warner Brothers Records, and also just wrote a song that will be in the new Twilight: Breaking Dawn 2 movie and soundtrack. I have been lucky enough to have garnered a publishing deal and write music constantly for TV and film. I live in LA, and unless I’m touring, I don’t get back to the East Coast as much as I would like, and when I do I’m always in a rush. If you’re in LA feel free to reach out, as I would love to catch up with DA peeps!” Trenton Smith and Holly
