Being fortunate to spend his entire medical and surgical training at the largest, most renowned community in the world, The Texas Medical Center in Houston, Dr. Courtney was mentored by some of the world’s most prominent and esteemed plastic surgeons.

During my fellowship, I was fascinated with reconstructive surgery, specifically breast reconstruction. I really connected with patients who were going through a difficult time and comforting them was so rewarding. I then began treating the patient as a whole.
While I was training at M.D. Anderson and removing cancer daily, I found myself staying to watch the beautiful intricacy of reconstructive surgery. Cutting-out cancer can leave a hole, both emotionally and physically. Creating beauty out of something taken from these patients taught me techniques applicable to every part of the body.
After mastering the art of breast reconstruction, I realized that extremely detailed surgery could also be applied to the lighthearted world of cosmetic surgery. This is what led me to cosmetic plastic surgery. I love seeing the confidence and dramatic transformation in my reconstruction and cosmetic patients.
I like to see the immediate results after each procedure, and the positive effect it has on patients. I enjoy working with my hands and operating from head-to-toe. I also find the diversity of plastic surgery to be fascinating, as each case is different.
I enjoy spending time with my family, and quality time creating arts and crafts with my daughter, and spending time outdoors.
Patient, understanding, and relatable.
Patients choose me because I am honest and truly have their best interest at heart. I give my patients realistic, reasonable expectations. I am constantly learning new techniques and strive to provide my patients with the latest procedure options. When patients choose me as their surgeon, I take care of them for life.
