Dr. Boardman has developed a special interest in cosmetic surgery since graduating medical school. Being a general surgeon, he has worked with a variety of cosmetic surgeons in the treatment of diseases and the reconstruction after surgical procedures. This began with his work at Westchester Medical Center. During his residency he rotated into the burn unit and onto the plastic surgery services. In those rotations he treated severely burned patients, assisted with the reconstruction of breast cancer patients and patients needing advanced reconstruction of cosmetic defects. This interest continued with his practice at Keller Army Community Hospital where he learned to perform abdominoplasties on patients who had significant weight loss after gastric bypass surgery. He also furthered his education on breast cosmetics by treating and reconstructing breast cancer patients. After opening Clermont Surgical Associates, he took time out of his busy practice to educate himself further on the subtleties of cosmetic breast surgery in order to be able to offer his patients the most comprehensive surgical practice around. He has partnered with Drs Lewis and McLean of Clermont Obstetrics and Gynecology, to be able to offer most cosmetic and skin related care.
