The experience gained through hundreds of complex operations exposed him to different approaches and techniques, allowing him to become well-equipped and qualified to perform intricate surgeries that require finesse.

Being fortunate to spend his entire medical and surgical training at the largest and highly renowned Texas Medical Center in Houston, Dr. Courtney was mentored by prominent and esteemed plastic surgeons.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done.

Beyond his surgical skills, Dr. Courtney is dedicated to working closely with his patients to help achieve the ideal outcome. His process includes setting realistic expectations and providing personalized, compassionate guidance through each step of the plastic surgery process.

Dr. Courtney grew up in a household with three sisters, and his family background prepared him well for his career in aesthetic surgery. Now with two daughters, he understands the challenges and social pressure that women face — especially mothers — and connects with genuine compassion and understanding for his female patients. He closely listens and understands his patients’ needs and goals, developing a personalized surgical plan for each unique individual. He provides a high level of care before, during, and after the procedure.

During his leisure time, he enjoys spending time with his family, quality time creating arts and crafts with his two daughters, and spending time outdoors.
