Dr. LoVerme is a past-president of the New Jersey Society of Plastic Surgeons and a Clinical Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery at UMDNJ - New Jersey Medical School where he has participated in teaching the art of Plastic Surgery to New Jersey and New York area students since 1985.

His brothers have also followed the family tradition - William is a Plastic Surgeon in Wellesley and Boston, MA, and Stephen is a Neurologist in Beverly, MA. His sister Mary Lou is a physical therapist.

The single most important factor in the success of Plastic Surgery is the surgeon you select.
