About Dr. Mosser

Scott W. Mosser, M.D. began his career in Medicine as a Fulbright Scholar to Ecuador, where he spent a year investigating the Ecuadorian healthcare system. He is a graduate of Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX) and Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH), where he completed his internship and six years of comprehensive general and plastic surgery training. This was followed with a year-long fellowship dedicated to San Francisco cosmetic surgery where he perfected his techniques as a facial and whole body cosmetic surgeon.

When he is not working, Dr. Mosser is a dedicated adventurer, avid world traveler, lover of the performing arts and most of all enjoys spending time with his family and friends.
