ABOUT US

BIOGRAPHY

A native or Northern New Jersey, Dr. Mehul Kamdar is a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon practicing in the NJ/NY region.  He received his medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 2003.  Inspired by mentors in plastic surgery at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, he chose the field of plastic surgery because of his fascination with the beauty of human anatomy and form.  The field is unique in requiring a mastery of both male and female anatomy, from the head to the toe, including the understanding of change in form that occurs during growth.   He enjoys the ability to treat patients of all ages from newborns with congenital deformities, middle aged individuals dealing with trauma or cancer, or more elderly patients requiring subtle reversal of the ageing changes of their body.  He was accepted to stay and train in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the combined Columbia/Cornell Medical Centers including time spent at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Hospital for Special Surgery.  Dr. Kamdar embarked on a year long research fellowship at NYU Medical Center under world-renowned cleft surgeon, Dr. Court Cutting.  The culmination of his work was the first ever educational DVD training series to teach international surgeons state of the art pediatric cleft lip and palate surgery from the masters.  His exposure to adult cosmetic and cancer reconstruction in New York led him to ultimately pursue microvascular surgery for technical expertise in handling every challenge in reconstructive plastic surgery.  He was accepted as the sole fellow at the UCLA Medical Center microvascular fellowship where he continued to master plastic surgery techniques, focusing on breast cancer reconstruction in particular.  In 2010, Dr. Kamdar returned to northern NJ to establish the first DIEP flap breast reconstruction program at Morristown Medical Center.  He brings to NJ his wealth of experience from academic institutions including Columbia, Cornell, Memorial Sloan Kettering and UCLA.  Since then he has performed hundreds of microvascular procedures with unsurpassed success.  His professional interests focus on cosmetic and reconstructive breast and body procedures. He most recently served as Section Chief of Plastic Surgery at Morristown Medical Center.

CONNECT WITH OTHERS

Choosing a plastic surgeon can be daunting.  We treat each patient with the level of professionalism and attention we would give to someone in our family.  If you would like to explore a procedure and speak with a prior patient let our office manager, Reha, know.  Our patients are happy to ‘pay it forward,’ and share or counsel someone at the onset of the challenging task of deciding if surgery is right for them.

Our Staff

Reha and Dina are the backbone of our practice.   They come to work every day with a warm smile and positive energy, bringing a passion to help our patients as if they were family.  They handle all aspects of the practice from answering patient calls, to scheduling procedures, insurance coordination, billing, and ensuring our office provides all the warmth and comforts for our patients that are progressing through an overwhelmingly significant point in their lives.

Medical tattooist extraordinaire, Kris has been a part of our in-house services for patient undergoing post-mastectomy breast reconstruction since 2019.  She comes from an art background and found a passion in using her artistry to helping women with photo-realistic level nipple areola tattooing.  Restoring a near identical appearing nipple areola is paramount in the complete restoration of the breast after undergoing a mastectomy.  Living between Florida and New Jersey, she is spreading her gift to patients far and wide!

When we are not in the office, we long to be home with our fur babies.  Meet Sunny, Dr. Kamdar and Reha’s newest addition to their family since 2021.  It took this cutie to get Dr. Kamdar to get over his fear of a owning a pet, as he is often called to the ER to help suture a patient after a dog bite injury.  As sweet as a bunny, this morkie (Maltese/Yorkie mix) wants nothing more than to snuggle up next to you after a long day in the office or operating room!

TESTIMONIALS


CS, Age 40
Breast Reconstruction

I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience with Dr. Kamdar and his practice (Reha). From my initial call to the office, I felt like I was treated more like family than a patient.

During our first consultation, Dr. Kamdar took time to review all my surgical options, discuss the risks and walk me through the entire recovery process. His expertise, creative approach, interpersonal skills and surgical work is flawless. I felt cared for the entire time and continue to refer people to his practice. His practice manager is a champion for women and works to navigate the insurance process with careful attention.

When facing a large surgery, the decision-making process can feel daunting. The recovery process is difficult for the DIEP Flap Reconstruction and the hospital stay can be overwhelming. Dr. Kamdar and his practice was incredibly responsive, empathetic, attentive, caring and patient throughout the entire process from beginning to end. I am incredibly happy with the outcome and am so glad that I made the decision to have Dr. Kamdar perform my surgical reconstruction.
