Dr Buckley was drawn to plastic surgery because of the impact it can make, noting that even a simple surgery can sometimes cause a huge improvement in a patient’s quality of life. She also enjoys the challenges involved in very complex cases. It is the reason she has spent her entire career working in highly specialized hospital care. It provides her with the ability to help where it is most needed. Dr Buckley believes that it is always the people around her that make each day an exciting opportunity. She states that, “when you work in a place where people feel valued, and value each other, they are able to let that shine through in providing the best care possible.

Dr Ver Steeg learned early in his life what a difference plastic surgery can make in someone’s life. One friend with a cleft palate was helped by a plastic surgeon. Another friend received care after a lawnmower accident. He credits his grandfather with instilling a sense of hard work and drive that has helped to guide him through life. Additionally, Dr Ver Steeg finds the field of plastic surgery quite intellectually stimulating. Encountering problems not found in a textbook, he has to weight the different options and come up with the right solution for problem at hand. Dr Ver Steeg has a special interest in reconstructive surgeries including facial trauma, breast reconstruction, skin cancer surgery and wound care.
