A Desire to Serve
Born and raised in the Midwest, Dr. Kaufman enrolled in the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. There he earned his undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree with highest honors. He then moved across the country to report to Basic Underwater Demolition School in Southern California where he trained to become a Navy SEAL. Dr. Kaufman served four years of active duty, including time in the Middle East as part of Operation Desert Storm.
Today Dr. Kaufman continues to serve others by donating his plastic and reconstructive surgical skills to adults and children in other parts of the world. He began this work as a fellow with Interplast - a non-profit Bay Area organization that designs medical missions to developing countries - right after his formal surgical training. Dr. Kaufman estimates he has since operated on more than 500 patients from Latin America to the Far East.
Rigorous Education and Training
After serving his country in the Navy, Dr. Kaufman was accepted to Harvard Medical School. He earned his M.D. there, then relocated again to California to perform his general surgical/plastic surgery residency at Stanford University Medical Center. When his training was complete, he continued at Stanford as a volunteer clinical faculty member. While still in the Bay Area he was honored to be selected as the Director of the Regional Burn Unit at Valley Medical Center in San Jose.
Looking for an ideal place to open a private practice and raise a family, Dr. Kaufman and his wife, Kate, chose Sacramento. The plastic surgeon could not be happier with his adopted community. He and Kate are raising three young children and finding time for travel, athletics and volunteer activities.
