MOHAMAD H. BAZZI, MD, FACS
Dr. Bazzi is the heart of Celestial Institute of Plastic Surgery which he and his wife founded in 2003. Starting off in private practice was the path he chose as a young surgeon. His dedication to patient education, care and outcomes made his practice flourish very quickly. He is a native of the metro-Detroit area. His academic career started at the University of Michigan where he was a chemistry major and recipient of many awards and accolades. As an undergraduate student he had diverse interests that ranged from different disciplines of engineering but somehow realized that he was only fit for medicine. What ever Dr. Bazzi applies himself to must be completed to perfection and serve the purpose of fulfillment. After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan he attended Wayne State University School of Medicine and decided that he belonged in Surgery. Dr. Bazzi was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honors Society along with several other awards and recognitions. He completed his general surgery residency at WSU/DMC still here in metro Detroit. As a general surgeon he realized that after trauma and acute care surgery, the loop in patient care and outcomes still needed to be closed. It was at that point that he realized Plastic Surgery was simply the natural progression for him to feel complete as a surgeon. The ability to see each patient through trauma, cancer or whatever pathology they were experiencing; helping restore their health and then finally taking their physical being back as close to the starting point as possible was where Dr. Bazzi found most satisfaction. He moved on to complete his fellowship in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery through WSU and William Beaumont Hospital.
Dr. Bazzi’s uncompromising standards, dedication to patient care and true love of humanity and medicine make it easy for patients to find comfort in his surgical skills and trust in his character. Dr. Bazzi is board certified by both the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. These boards are recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and remains active in his specialty to ensure that he delivers the best surgical outcomes for his patients.
Dr. Bazzi’s credentials are second-to-none, but lets talk about who he is personally. He comes from a large family, 1 of 9 children with many nieces and nephews. He is married with 3 children who add to his undeniably chaotic schedule. He and his wife work together as a team but personally and professionally. Dr. Bazzi loves children because he appreciates their innocence and curiosity. He feels lucky when he has a rare morning where he is able to drive his kids to school and listen to their stories. He loves to provoke his daughter since she is very feisty and opinionated and he loves to pick his sons brain since he is an intuitive “old soul” who is wise beyond his years. Dr. Bazzi is a lover of world history, tea, old books and humanity in general. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is an exceptionally humble surgeon who considers his talent a blessing that requires him to serve others. Dr. Bazzi remains at the forefront of his specialty while maintaining the practice of gold standards and acknowledging the need to evolve when necessary but to also recognize when some of the newer things are not as innovative as they may seem.
