Dr. Warren E. Hagan
Dr. Hagan is known by many for his precision work and sincere concern for his patients’ well-being. He has a knack for listening intently to patient concerns and creating a strategy to achieve the desired result. Not surprisingly, the outcome produces patients that feel great and have the appearance they’ve longed for. Dr. Hagan’s philosophy is derived from the 16th century “Father of Plastic surgery” Italian Taglacossi, who stated, “As plastic surgeons we mold and restore our patients of defects which nature had given them, not only to delight the eye of the patient but to also buoy up the spirits and body image of that perplexed patient.” (paraphrased) As a modern plastic surgeon, I hope to surgically affect the results that the patient realistically seeks so as to create a positive self-image and body perception. In short: to allow them to be the best they can be in physical appearance and in self-appreciation and fulfillment. Additionally, having held an active Florida Medical License for over three decades, Dr. Hagan has practiced previously in Tallahassee and Sarasota. Furthermore, he also has garnered valuable experience doing hair restoration surgery in Boca Raton. Now, opportunely for us, he is looking forward to sharing his clinical expertise in Plastic Surgery in the Dunedin–Clearwater area.
