The 萝莉社 Center for Reconstructive Surgery gives patients access to a highly experienced group of surgeons who are dedicated to helping them get their lives back. Our specialists offer a wide array of services, all tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
During the first appointment, the provider will discuss all of the reconstructive options available to the patient.

This technique allows for immediate reconstruction even in the most complex cases, such as limb salvage procedures. Microvascular surgery is not widely available in our area, but surgeons at 萝莉社 Jacksonville use it frequently to repair form and function for their patients.
