Our anesthesiologists are board-certified medical doctors. We are prepared to handle any emergency, should one occur. If necessary, a patient would be transferred directly to Integris Baptist Medical Center, which is less than one mile away.
Dr. Silverstein's Biography
A native of Boston, Paul Silverstein, M.D., earned his undergraduate degree at Harvard University, graduating magna cum laude. After completing medical school at another Ivy League institution, the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Silverstein returned to Boston where he completed a general surgery residency at the Boston City Hospital.
From 1969 to 1972, Dr. Silverstein served as a Major in the U.S. Army Medical Corp at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, where he treated soldiers who had been injured in the Vietnam War. In 1972, he received a Meritorious Service Medal, an award given to honor distinguished service and achievement in a non-combat setting.
Following his military service, Dr. Silverstein decided to pursue a career in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He completed a residency in plastic surgery at the prestigious Emory University in Atlanta and has been building a reputation as a premiere plastic and reconstructive surgeon ever since. Dr. Silverstein moved to Oklahoma City and began to establish one of the leading plastic surgery practices in the state. Now, with over 34 years of experience, he has successfully helped thousands of patients enhance their image and self-confidence with rejuvenating procedures such as facelift, tummy tuck, laser skin resurfacing, and more.
Our plastic surgeon is committed to giving back to the Oklahoma City community. In 1975, shortly after his arrival in Oklahoma City, he founded the burn center at the Integris Baptist Medical Center that now bears his name. The Paul Silverstein Burn Center was the first of its kind in Oklahoma City, and its physicians, nurses, and staff have a history of providing compassionate, comprehensive care. Dr. Silverstein knew he wanted to offer advanced treatment to burn victims after treating soldiers who sustained these painful injuries in the Vietnam War. Now, over 15,000 patients from a six-state area have received treatment at the center, recognized for its standards of excellence.
Since 1979, Dr. Silverstein has served as a clinical professor of plastic surgery for the University of Oklahoma.
