Now, Dermatology Specialists of Florida and Aqua Medical Spa clients will further benefit from the addition of having a plastic surgeon on staff who offers a multitude of surgical cosmetic procedures. April Marchand, Aqua Medical Spa Director added, “We are happy to welcome Dr. Chandler to our practice and look forward to providing advanced cosmetic options to our patients with the expertise and experience of a skilled board-certified plastic surgeon.”

Dr. Chandler has high surgical standards and provides patients with consultative sessions to help understand their needs clearly before proceeding with any surgical procedures. He focuses on delivering quality, and he derives tremendous satisfaction out of helping patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals.

Prior to joining their practice, Dr. Chandler held several academic leadership roles, including serving as an assistant professor of plastic surgery at the University of Kansas School of Medicine and serving as a representative on the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers.

He enjoys sharing his experience and expertise with others as a featured presenter on a wide variety of plastic surgery and reconstructive topics, as well as volunteering for overseas medical mission work for both pediatric and adult patients.

Dr. Chandler is a diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons.

“Plastic surgery and dermatology are a natural fit, and I am pleased to join board-certified dermatologists and Mohs surgeons Dr. Ward and Dr. Stickler and their team of skin care experts. Dermatology Specialists of Florida and Aqua Medical Spa have an outstanding patient-centered reputation and an experienced team focused on quality outcomes, so I believe our partnership will be a win-win for the patients,” commented Dr. Chandler.
