The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction (IFAR) is uniquely positioned as the ‘go to’ center for revolutionary nerve procedures, as well as world-class reconstructive treatments. Our surgeons have experience in cutting-edge procedures such as nerve transplantation that may restore a significant degree of function for those who have suffered from a stroke and other forms of paralysis.

IFAR’s team of specialists are leaders in their field and each doctor has a unique area of focus and expertise within reconstructive surgery. Dr. Matthew Kaufman has a rare distinction of being board certified in both Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology (head and neck surgery). This gives him the additional expertise necessary to deal with complex cosmetic and reconstructive problems of the head, face, and neck, and has enabled him to succeed in two of his surgical specialty programs: Phrenic Nerve Surgery and Occipital Neuralgia Surgery.
