About Lawrence G. Kass, MD

Hello. My name is Dr. Lawrence G Kass and I am a board certified cosmetic and eye plastic surgeon specializing in reconstructive and cosmetic facial and eye surgeries. My 34 years of experience in the Tampa Bay Area have taught me the value of listening closely to my patients. I believe that it is best to spend additional time with my patients before doing a procedure so that I have an optimal understanding of the patient’s needs and desires. During that time, I will discuss their options and opportunities honestly and with respect to each individual patient. My goal is to deliver realistic and satisfying results to every patient who entrusts me with their care. While absolute perfection is not always possible, our patients’ satisfaction and happiness with their medical procedures and their care is of paramount concern to our staff and to me. With as little inconvenience and discomfort as possible, our experienced professionals provide the highest standard of care and excellence.
