Dr. Joel Epperson has joined the medical staff of St. Bernards as a plastic surgeon.
A native Floridian, Epperson grew up in Tampa and earned a bachelor’s degree from Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from Ross University School of Medicine.
After serving an internship and residency in internal medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, he served a residency in general surgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. He also served a residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
Dr. Epperson is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery.
He is accepting patients at Jonesboro Plastic Surgery Associates, 1150 East Matthews Avenue.
Dr. Epperson offers a full range of cosmetic surgery for body contouring, face lifts, breast augmentation and reconstructive surgery and non-surgical enhancements. He also will hold clinics at the St. Bernards Wound Healing Center, working with patients whose wounds won’t heal or whose wounds need coverage.
“I see the plastic surgeon as essentially a problem-solving surgeon,” he says, adding that he uses his skills to restore form and function to a state of being as normal as possible.
He is a member of Healthcare Medical Group (HMG) and St. Bernards Healthcare Associated Regional Providers (SHARP).
Jonesboro Plastic Surgery Associates is located at 1150 East Matthews Ave.
