Plastic Surgical mentors have included Martha Matthews, MD, who trained in Norfolk under John McGraw, MD and James Carraway, MD, James W. May, Jr., MD at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Lester Silver, MD at Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Wisser's Orthopaedic mentors have been numerous, but he specifically attributes his expertise in the fields of Hand and Upper Limb, Microvascular and Pediatric Reconstructive Surgery to Martin Posner, MD at NYU/Hospital for Joint Diseases, who trained with Joseph Boyes, MD in San Francisco, Dr. Pulvertaft in England as well as Emanuel B.

Dr. Wisser feels as though the field of cosmetic surgery has become overly complex due to the number of different practitioners offering cosmetic services. Dr. Wisser's philosophy is to simplify the process by listening carefully and focusing on each patient's area(s) of concern while offering the array of treatment options, ranging from those that are non-invasive (skin care and microdermabrasion), or those that are minimally invasive (such as use of BOTOX® and use of injectable fillers) to offering expert cosmetic surgical experience having performed numerous procedures involving all bodily areas including the face, i.e., brows, eyes, nose, ears, cheeks, jaw line, neck, as well as the breasts, abdomen, flanks, hips, buttocks, female genitalia, upper and lower limbs. A comprehensive list of procedures Dr. Wisser offers is available for your review on a separate web page.
