About Dr. Rafizadeh

Dr. Farhad Rafizadeh is Board Certified in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery, and has been in practice of plastic and reconstructive surgery in Morristown, New Jersey since 1984. He has been recognized year after year by multiple publications as a “Top Doctor” and “Top Surgeon” in the New Jersey and New York Metropolitan areas, and has served as Chairman of Plastic Surgery at Morristown Memorial Hospital for many years.

Before becoming a surgeon, Dr. Rafizadeh was an artist. That innate sense of proportion, harmony, and the golden ratio informs every procedure he performs — delivering results that look natural, not operated. His artwork was selected as cover art for the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, one of the world’s most prestigious plastic surgery publications.

Trained in Lausanne, Switzerland and at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and New York Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Rafizadeh brings four decades of surgical precision to every patient. He personally evaluates every consultation and has never delegated a patient interaction to a junior provider.

In 2010, Dr. Rafizadeh was the recipient of the exclusive Patient Choice Award and the Compassionate Doctor Award — recognizing both exceptional outcomes and bedside manner. Presently, his practice is focused on cosmetic surgery of the face, breasts, body contouring, and reconstructive breast surgery after mastectomy.
