About Alex Kaminsky, MD
Dr. Kaminsky believes in evidence based, compassionate care of all patients, and achieves the aesthetic vision of each one by harmonizing artistry with cutting edge surgical and non-surgical techniques. Dr. Kaminsky is fundamentally interested in his patients, and enjoys collaborating with them in a supportive environment free of judgment to develop personalized treatment plans that emphasize positive body image and safety. Dr. Kaminsky traces his passion for success in plastic and reconstructive surgery in part to his time as a professional photographer. He has been published internationally including a magazine cover from his time as a freelance photographer (and tour guide) in Rome Italy. In addition to developing an eye for aesthetics and meticulous attention to fine details, photography taught him to examine everything from multiple perspectives and to expand his vision to create captivating images. During his time at the University of Michigan, obtaining a degree in Public Health, Dr. Kaminsky sub-specialized in the field of Environmental Sciences – Toxicology, which piqued his interest in the relationship between our environment and our health. He has continued to explore this vital connection throughout his training and it infuses his holistic approach to his patient care. Dr. Kaminsky attended medical school in Israel at the prestigious Tel Aviv University – New York Program. It was here he was first exposed to advanced surgical techniques and medical innovations that sparked his interest in surgery. Dr. Kaminsky completed nine years of post-graduate training, including his General Surgery residency just outside of Washington D.C. in Fairfax, Virginia. In addition to winning awards in educational leadership from Virginia Commonwealth University and his residency program at Inova Fairfax Hospital, Dr. Kaminsky took advantage of his proximity to Washington D.C. to lobby national politicians on behalf of the American Society of Plastic Surgery to advance surgical training.
