He is a gifted surgeon and incredible teacher which made my time spent at Contemporary Cosmetic Surgery a rich learning experience. During this clinical rotation, Dr. Michelow was generous in sharing information about clinical techniques, patient interactions, and professional demeanor.
It was beneficial to have to opportunity to first assist during most surgery cases. Having the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Michelow has allowed me to improve my clinical skills such as suturing, various injections, and incision and drainages.
Surgeries ranged from extensive reconstructive and cosmetic cases in the operating room to various in-office procedures. It was interesting to work with a patient population ranging in age from toddlers to the elderly and being involved in surgery cases dealing with every part of the body from head to toe.
Dr. Michelow left me inspired to reach further and do more in my career as a PA. I would highly recommend other PA students interested in furthering their clinical skills to experience an elective rotation working with Dr. Michelow and his extremely helpful and caring office staff at Contemporary Cosmetic Surgery.
