Keith Hood, MD

What attracted Keith Hood, MD, the most to the field of plastic surgery were these two words: precision and perfectionism.

As a plastic surgeon, he never accepts anything less than his personal best. His goal is to offer treatments and procedures that help patients feel satisfied the rest of their lives.

Dr. Hood’s practice is focused on reconstructive surgery, body contouring and cosmetic procedures. He knows that plastic surgery (even just something minor) can positively transform a patient’s emotional and physical well-being. He’s proud to be part of the process.

As an assistant professor in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Rush, he enjoys teaching and is a big believer in patient education. During an initial consultation, he sees himself as a guide to show the many options that plastic surgery can offer so patients can feel knowledgeable about the possibilities. By showing diagrams and pictures, he helps each patient confidently choose the option that works best for their body and lifestyle. And he is always happy to answer any follow-up questions after an initial visit by email or phone.
