Get to know Plastic Surgeon Dr. John E. Gatti, who serves patients in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Gatti has over 40 years of experience in his field. At his private plastic surgery center in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, patients have access to a wide range of procedures to improve their confidence and quality of life. Whether they are seeking cosmetic enhancements or reconstructive surgery due to trauma or disease, each treatment is carefully tailored to meet their individual needs.

Dedicated to providing the best possible results for his patients, Dr. Gatti will spend an adequate amount of time getting to know his patients in order to understand their medical history and their reasons for visiting a surgeon. During a relaxed and focused consultation, he should be able to offer options that will address his patients’ concerns. Options may be offered but it is the patient who will ultimately decide what direction will be taken. He strongly believes that the decision to undergo surgery is a serious and personal one and that it is one only the patient can make. Every effort is made to educate his patients about what is available today with the modern procedures in plastic surgery. Examples of surgery performed on previous patients are usually used to represent what changes can be obtained by the options offered.

Back in 1978, Dr. Gatti obtained his medical degree from the Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. He then went on to serve his residencies in general and plastic surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

While his background and abilities are quite extensive – he was board-certified as a general surgeon and remains board-certified in plastic surgery – he is most concerned that his patients receive the best results from their surgery. Revisional surgery is generally offered to those patients who wish to further improve their surgical results. He takes great pride in his work and wants each patient to be completely satisfied with his or her results.

Remaining current on all of the new technologies and techniques, Dr. Gatti is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). He is also a member of several professional organizations, including the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and the Northeastern Society of 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. 

Recognized as an authority in his field, Dr. Gatti is the recipient of various awards and honors, including Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2014, 2017), On-Time Doctor Award (2015, 2017, 2018), and Patients’ Choice Award (2013, 2014, 2017, 2018).
