He assists Dr. Ladner in surgery and performs in office procedures such as scar revisions, ear lobe repairs/reductions, mole removal, laser resurfacing and injectables.

While completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Florida, Tom came to Colorado for an internship at the University of Denver.
