Dear Internet User:

I would like to thank you for your interest in my practice and for taking the time to browse through my website.

My practice is located in San Ramon, California (about 20 miles east of San Francisco). I have been a surgeon since 1986 and am certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. I am honored to have served as the Chief of Staff and the Chief of Surgery at San Ramon Regional Medical Center.

I developed a desire to become a surgeon at a very early age and attended medical school at the University of Minnesota, completing postgraduate training at the University of California. In 1988, I decided to become a plastic surgeon. It was the creativity and artistry of plastic surgery that most appealed to me.

On a personal note, I am an active member of my local church, St. Isidore's Parish, and serve on the Pastoral Council both as a member and a past Chairman. I enjoy racquetball, basketball, gourmet cooking, and travel. In 1996, I was honored to be chosen to participate in a missionary trip to Guatemala. I spent two weeks performing surgery on deprived people living in rural villages and later traveled throughout the country.

I have included my resume of professional credentials. Please phone or e-mail me with your questions or comments. Thanks.

Sincerely yours,

Kevin Ciresi, M.D., FACS, FICS
