Jeffrey Rosenthal, M.D., is a Fairfield, Connecticut Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Chief of Plastic Surgery at Bridgeport Hospital. He has been in private practice for 23 years. Dr. Rosenthal specializes in cosmetic surgery which results in a natural-looking appearance that can only be accomplished by combining art and science. He uses his creativity and imagination to achieve balance and harmony, be it as a surgeon, artist, poet, writer, sculptor, illustrator or inventor.

Since starting his private practice in 1985, Dr. Rosenthal has been sought by patients from across the U.S. and the world.

Dr. Rosenthal has said, “My art enhances my surgery by allowing me to be creative while embellishing the individual and personal identity.” His powers of visualization and imagination are coupled with skilled hands which allow him to successfully meld together art and plastic surgery. "Plastic Surgery is an art form that allows you to feel good about yourself by either restoring or rejuvenating a natural healthy appearance. The warm glow of contentment and confidence will permeate your life’s experiences.”

“An art is a celebration of life and all the various nuances that give meaning to the newly formed day. There is a beginning to the artistic process, but never a definitive end. The blending of art and science has always been my artistic endeavor and I have found that there is no higher form of art than to sculpt and redesign the human body. I am hopeful that you will be moved by my art and that it will inspire you to feel the joy that comes from following your dreams.”

He deems himself fortunate to have had three art exhibitions in France as well as showings in Westport and Stamford Connecticut; Discovery Museum, Bridgeport; Fairfield University, Walsh Art Center Gallery; and in New York City.

How do art and plastic surgery fit together? “It is a unique privilege to sculpt and design on the human body; there is no higher form of art. The blending of science and art has always been my endeavor.”

Dr. Rosenthal is a member of the Connecticut Plastic Surgery Executive Committee, Operating Room Committee at Bridgeport Hospital, Medical Executive Committee at the Surgery Center of Fairfield County, and the Connecticut State Medical Insurance Committee. Additionally, Dr. Rosenthal is the Chairperson for a national medical book review service. His reviews of plastic surgery texts and writing reach 300,000 subscribers and medical librarians in the country. He has lectured both nationally and internationally on plastic surgery topics and has had numerous articles written about his art in combination with cosmetic surgery. Likewise, these subjects have been discussed during appearances and interviews on both radio and television.

He received his training in some of America’s finest medical institutions: General Surgery at Bridgeport Hospital; Plastic Surgery at Nassau County Medical Center with affiliations at Nassau, North Shore, Glen Cove and Mercy Hospitals.

Additional training: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital, Yale School of Medicine, Boston University Hospital, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Continuing medical education is an ongoing, yearly event.
