Dr. Flores joined the Division of Plastic Surgery in August of 2008. Dr. Roberto Flores received his Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University with a major in Biopsychology. He then went on to complete his Medical Doctorate from New York University. He then continued his studies at NYU as both a General Surgery Resident and Plastic Surgery Resident. Following this training he elected to do a further Fellowship in Craniofacial Surgery at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery in New York.

Since joining the Division of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Flores works predominantly at Riley Hospital for Children, specifically on craniofacial injuries and anomalies. He also has interests in cosmetic surgery.

Research Interests: Dr. Flores' laboratory uses virtual 3-dimensional digital models of the human body to create surgical simulations of conceptually complex surgical procedures. These simulations will serve as a resource for practicing and training surgeons to help improve their intraoperative learning process and skills. This research has the potential to greatly impact patient safety in a positive manner.
