He studies classical and flamenco guitar and continues to make time for pencil, pen, and ink drawing. With each of his patients, Dr. Criswell evaluates and treats them with this dual scientific and artistic focus.
it is important to add an artistic quality to the field of surgery. Plastic surgery is a highly technical and exact science, but ultimately it involves meticulous, artistic technique.- Dr. Bryan Criswell
