Dr. Horowitz and His Great Advocacy

Man has a reason why he is living in this world. He has purposes. As he grows older, he will finally know what those purposes are and how to put those things into action. Some of them would say, “I am living to please and to give happiness to everyone”, “I am born to love and be loved”, and the other one is “I am born to serve and share what I have!” What a great principles, isn’t it?

Dr. Jed H. Horowitz, a certified philanthropist, is a plastic surgeon and Vice President of Plasticos Foundation, a non-religious and non-profit organization that has the goal to provide life changing reconstructive surgery to those children in need. His goal is to help his patients enhance their self-esteem through surgery. Dr. Horowitz and the other members of Plasticos Foundation including its volunteers go visit deprived communities around the world to identify children with body deformities, birth defects, and other congenital malformations such as cleft palate, hare lip, webbed hands or feet, burn scars, and tumors. They provide free reconstructive surgery for these children to bring back the deformities as well as the children’s lives into its normal form.

Here is a letter of thanks from one of Dr. Horowitz’s past patients.

“Dear Dr. Horowitz,

Thank you so much for the great care and attention I received during my recent surgery.

You were so kind and your staff was exemplary just the right combination of friendliness and professionalism to help get me through a very difficult time.”

Dr. Jed Horowitz’s extensive knowledge, training and exceptional abilities in plastic surgery have changed many lives. He has already performed thousands of reconstructive surgery operations which mean that Dr. Horowitz is indeed blessed with great skills with regards to his field of expertise and because of it many deformed lives have been reshaped as what they usually say in Plasticos Foundation. His vast surgical knowledge and experience allowed him to create beautiful and natural results. Aside from this, he also travels abroad to developing countries to train the local surgeons about the modern reconstructive surgical techniques. His kind heart, his determination to help and to serve the less fortunate especially the children, and his dedication to his work resulted to what he calls his “great advocacy”. I hope that Dr. Horowitz’s advocacy will also inspire others to do the same thing even in small ways.
