Precision and Purpose

Dr. Connor’s pursuit of excellence led him to Austin, Texas, where he completed a highly selective two-year fellowship in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery at Texas Oculoplastic Consultants—the largest oculoplastic practice in the nation. Over the course of this fellowship, he performed more than 1,200 surgical procedures and received advanced training at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, specializing in the treatment and reconstruction of periocular cancers.

His clinical interests include upper and lower blepharoplasty, brow lifts, and midface surgery, along with intricate reconstructive procedures for patients who have undergone cancer treatment, sustained trauma, or experienced unsatisfactory outcomes from prior cosmetic surgery. In 2011, Dr. Connor and his family returned to Florida. Just a few years later, in 2016, he was honored by his patients as one of South Florida’s Top Docs.
