Meet John T. Cozzone, M.D.
Dr. John T. Cozzone, MD is a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 25 years of expertise. He has been the Chief of Plastic Surgery at Saint Joseph Wayne Hospital in Wayne N.J. since 2001. He has performed thousands of breast, body and facial cosmetic procedures. Liposuction and a full range of breast procedures—including breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast lifting—have been a special focus of his career in plastic surgery. Dr. Cozzone is also highly adept at performing body remodeling procedures such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck surgery). Known for his exceptional, natural-looking results and commitment to personalized care from the first consultation to the last post-operative visit, Dr. Cozzone is highly recommended by his former patients.
VISION & PHILOSOPHY
Dr. John T. Cozzone’s approach to treatment includes this important philosophy: to provide patients with personalized, compassionate, one-on-one care and an unquestionable level of medical expertise—a form of professionalism previously available only from large Manhattan-based practices.
Today, with the partnership of Dr. Luis Zapiach, and the staff of caring and dedicated professionals here at Art Plastic Surgery, Dr. Cozzone adds to the vision of personalized, attentive care as a fundamental quality of our practice.
Because cosmetic surgery involves patient emotion, appearance and self-esteem, every patient is more than a client and every transformation more than simply a medical procedure. Accordingly, Dr. Cozzone views each patient as unique, and each need as highly personalized.
“My commitment is to provide patients with personalized, compassionate, one-on-one care and an unquestionable level of medical expertise.”
