Paul A. Critelli, MD

Paul Critelli, MD, is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, who performs both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face, body and hands. He believes communication is the key to a good doctor-patient relationship and encourages the patient’s participation in his or her care. “I enjoy doing cases that make an impact in the quality of people’s lives. Whether it be restoring a patient’s image after breast cancer or building a patient’s self-confidence with body contouring.”

Working as a general surgeon for five years in Dallas is what increased his interest in helping patients achieve their desired form, function and aesthetics. “When most surgeons operate, they remove a disease like cancer. Plastic surgeons have the unique job of putting the puzzle back together, as in facial and hand trauma, or they create and sculpt the body using your own tissues or implants, as is the case with breast reconstruction or body contouring.”

Dr. Critelli earned his bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University in College Station, his graduate certificate in biomedical science from the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth and his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. He also completed his general surgery residency at the Methodist Health System in Dallas and his plastic surgery fellowship at the University of Texas at Houston.

His personal interests include skiing, volleyball, golfing, biking and swimming.
