Your Facial Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Scott K. Thompson is a board certified head and neck surgeon with fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. His education and training in the area of facial plastic surgery includes work at the University of Rochester with Dr. Timothy Doerr, a leader in facial reconstruction and trauma, as well as a prestigious fellowship with world renowned facial cosmetic surgeon and president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Vito Quatela. He is devoted exclusively to the field of facial plastic surgery and is a skilled and respected surgeon in this field.

Because Dr. Thompson's practice focuses exclusively on conditions of the face, head, and neck, he is uniquely qualified in this area and is able to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to the care of the face. Moreover, his background in the fine arts enhances his ability to balance the technical and creative aspects of his specialty and assists him in his goal of achieving natural surgical results that enhance each individual's unique and attractive features. As a specialist of the face, Dr. Thompson also emphasizes a minimally invasive and preventive approach to facial and skin care that helps to maintain healthy, youthful features and overall health. He is committed to ethical, caring, and honest treatment of his patients and works very hard to earn and maintain their trust.

Although patient care is his primary focus, Dr. Thompson's academic, research, and teaching abilities have been recognized throughout his career with numerous awards as well as several scholarly publications. His love of teaching is evident as he educates his patients regarding their individual health care concerns and questions. One particular highlight for Dr. Thompson comes annually as he joins with several of his closest facial plastics colleagues from around the country in treating children with congenital deformities in Ecuador.

Dr. Thompson lives in Northern Utah with his wife and four children and enjoys playing the piano, backpacking, basketball, gardening, and most of all, spending time with his family.
