LEADING OUR PRACTICE

Andrew J.L. Gear, MD is a devoted student to technology in plastic surgery, constantly pursuing better techniques for his patients and training for more than 10 years alongside some of the most renowned surgeons in the country.

With a long line of academic physicians in his family, to say «medicine is in his blood,» would not be a stretch. His great, great paternal grandfather was an Obstetrician. His great grandfather, Sir William Leishman, was an infectious disease doctor who discovered Leishmaniasis, a tropical disease caused by a protozoan parasite. And his grandfather, Dr. Harry Gear, co-​founded the World Health Organization, the leading organization for establishing global healthcare standards, in 1948.
