About Dr. Morello

Dr. Daniel C. Morello graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1965, and from the Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1969. He completed a full residency in General Surgery at Hahnemann University and was Chief Surgical Resident 1973-1974. His plastic surgery residency was at perhaps the best cosmetic surgery training program in the world, the Institute for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at the New York University Medical Center. This was under the tutelage of the late John Marquis Converse, M.D., who was well known as the editor of a famous seven volume textbook of plastic surgery. Together with Dr. Converse, Dr. Morello authored the chapter on cosmetic surgery of the aging face in that book.
