MEET DR. HERVE`  GENTILE...

Dr. Herve`  Gentile's interests in plastic surgery matured very early while at the University of Padua Medical School in Italy (the second oldest medical school in the world).   The emblem chosen by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is that of Gaspare Tagliacozzi who laid the cornerstone of modern plastic surgery by reconstructing patients noses in nearby Bologna and published in 1597 his treatise "De Curtorum Chirurgia per Insitionem".   This was the first textbook ever in Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Herve` Gentile did a General Surgery Internship and completed his training in Ear, Nose and Throat/Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Maryland.

He then returned to Italy where he obtained further education by completing a Fellowship in Cosmetic and Facial Plastic Surgery with Professor L. Ponti in Rome.   Dr. Ponti is a world renowned Plastic Surgeon and an early pioneer in cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Herve` Gentile moved to Corpus Christi where he practiced Facial Plastic Surgery until he started a residency in Plastic Surgery at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG), under the tutelage of Dr. Kenna Given, the former chairman and the founder of the Plastic Surgery Program at MCG, and past chairman of the American Board of Plastic Surgery.   Dr. Herve` Gentile still holds there an active teaching position as Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic Surgery).

Dr. Herve` Gentile has a genuine love since his early teens for plastic surgery and all of the arts, actually he was motivated to seek a career in plastic surgery because of his love of art; in addition, he is not just one who appreciates paintings and sculpture but one who creates them and he is an accomplished painter and sculptor.
