At the age of five, Dr. Vonu was inspired by his pediatrician and decided to become a physician. He never wavered from that choice. When asked why he chose plastic surgery as a specialty, Dr. Vonu said, “It offers me the luxury of being both a physician and an artist. I enjoy developing a vision with my patient and then bringing it to fruition.” This collaborative approach is much appreciated by his patients.
