Dr. Mark Mandell-Brown
Celebrating thirty years in practice is a milestone for most physicians. But for Cincinnati, Ohio’s top voted plastic surgeon, Mark Mandell-Brown MD, it seems like the blink of an eye. “ If you have a passion for your work, it does not seem like a job,” commented Dr Mandell-Brown. He added, “ I tell my patients that time marches on, but how did thirty years pass so quickly?”
After attending Northwestern University, (recently rated number nine by US News and World college rankings ) the Columbus, Ohio resident, pursued medical school at the University of Cincinnati. He then completed a general surgery internship in Denver before moving to Pittsburgh for Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery.

With offices in Montgomery and Batavia, he spent the next ten years planning a free standing cosmetic surgery center.
The Mandell-Brown Plastic Surgery center with state licensure and national accreditation by AAAHC, opened in December 2000. The facility has earned awards by the City of Montgomery.
