Be careful with what you read elsewhere and do your homework. The only two medical specialties that have formal training in their residency programs and treat keloids very frequently are the dermatologists and the plastic and reconstructive surgeons.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons are the only specialists with formal training in residency that will take care of the large and most complex keloids and ugly scars from head to toe, using surgical techniques in which many times flaps have to be formed to cover large defects (Z-plastics and rotation flaps).As Plastic Surgeons, aesthetic principles are always considered to get the most pleasing results.

Gabe Salloum, M.D., F.A.C.S., has earned a reputation as one of South Florida's finest emerging talents in the specialized field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. He is known for his superior surgical skills as well as his outstanding patient care and, most significantly, his consistent track record of successful results and happy patients.
For years I dealt with a large unsightly keloid on the back of my head. When years of dermatology visits with treatment including injections and oral antibiotic medication did nothing to stop the growth and discomfort of this keloid, I decided to seek a different route and look into surgery. That's when I met Dr. Mendez.
Our doctors have treated patients with keloids, not only from the U.S. mainland but from all over the world. There are many hotels and restaurants around Mt. Sinai Medical Center that you may consider to make your stay while getting treated. Internationally known and respected, Dr. Mendez and Dr. Salloum are experts in keloids.
At The Keloid Plastic Surgery Center, we offer a variety of options for treating keloids, including keloid removal with surgery. We are one of the few plastic surgery offices in the U.S.A. using the latest XRT technology (Superficial Radiation Therapy, also known as S.R.T.) for the treatment of keloids with proven lower recurrence rates.

5-Star doctor! I had a very large unsightly keloid that continued to grow even surgical removal and steroid injections. I finally discovered the Keloid Plastic Surgery center and Dr. Mendez. I was instantly sold just by his bedside manner and knowledge about Keloids. My treatment plan went perfect and follow up care perfect including my SRT treatments. I am very pleased with my results; they’re literally life altering. If you have keloids then You know how unpredictable and erratic they can be. You definitely want to make sure the person removing them knows what they are doing. Dr. Mendez is

Im from The Bahamas, so I flew in to have these incredible professional individuals assistant me with my keloid removal. They were very pleasant- Dr. Mendez, Yanny, Ms. Ellis& Mildred, just to name a few!
Dr. Mendez was gentle yet very thorough with me during my process and kept checking as to if I was okay whether it was while my procedure was ongoing, he kept asking if I was okay, while I went to therapy and even when I returned home. I will recommend & have recommended his office to others that I know whom are struggling with the same thing.
10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Thank you guys for making

Persons do not realise how traumatizing keloids can be. After researching the positive results patients were experiencing from SRT (superficial radiation therapy) after undergoing keloid surgery removal, I began searching for surgeons who specialize in this treatment and initially my attempts were unsuccessful. Nonetheless, I persisted until I found Dr. Mendez at The Keloid Plastic Surgery Center and I am extremely satisfied with my results. I highly recommend this practice for anybody who is suffering with keloids especially those with melanated skin who have lost hope in finding a specialist

I had been battling keloids for about 15 years and had 4 previous surgeries. I had a very painful and discomforting keloid in my chest and another keloid in my umbilical area. As a result of one of the surgeries, to my disappointment I lost my umbilicus. I cannot put into words how frustrated I was every time the keloids came back. I had tried every treatment available without success (Surgery, steroid injections, silicone patches and every cream on the market). I was looking for something different and innovative that would solve my problem permanently and found Dr. Roberto Mendez at The Keloid

For years I dealt with a large unsightly keloid on the back of my head. When years of dermatology visits with treatment including injections and oral antibiotic medication did nothing to stop the growth and discomfort of this keloid, I decided to seek a different route and look into surgery. That’s when I met Dr. Mendez. He informed me of a procedure I never thought of or knew was avaiable to me. The procedure not only got rid of the keloid but now leaves me pain free and with a great feeling of confidence in my appearance.
I can’t thank Dr. Mendez enough. His bedside manners and skill set
