He attended Louisiana State University Medical Center where he trained with the Department of Surgery and published his first scientific paper. In 1990, he graduated as valedictorian of his class and received his Doctor of Medicine degree.

Between 1990 and 1995, Dr. Hochstein trained in general and trauma surgery at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas.

His natural, beautiful results and thriving practice are a testament to what he set out to achieve from the very beginning: changing a person’s quality of life, through self-improvement.

Passion and dedication are what set Dr. Hochstein apart from other board-certified plastic surgeons. Patient care is and always will be his number one priority.

Dear Dr. Hochstein and Amanda,

I am not sure where to even begin so let me start by saying THANK YOU! A very big thank you from my heart. From the moment I walked into your office a few months ago, I was impressed beyond words. My first impression was the beauty of your office, next was the way I was greeted by one of the sweet girls at the front desk – with a pleasant and welcoming smile. My appointment was at 4PM. I could not believe that after filling out the paperwork (which took about 5 quick minutes) I did not even have time to pick up a magazine as I was called right away to see Dr. Hochstein for my consultation. That is impressive. I’ve never been to a Dr.’s office where I didn’t have to wait for a while. Let me also add that each time thereafter I came in for pre op, surgery and post up, it was the same deal. I was seen exactly at the time of my appointment. WOW! I then was seated in Dr. Hochstein’s office which was beautiful as well. Decorated with several plaques and gorgeous pictures of Lisa. I felt very welcomed. When Dr. H walked in also with a great smile, I felt very comfortable. He listened to every word I said, and asked all of the right questions. I knew at that moment, this was the place where I was having my surgery. I felt a trust in him basically at hello. Dr. Hochstein is very personable, warm, friendly and has a great sense of humor. And knows what he is doing. After showing me several pictures of his work which I felt I did not even need to see, as I was ready to book my surgery.

Love always,

Jamie Beth Schwarz

Dr. H,

I live in Canada & was very worried about going to a doctor that was so far away. But after speaking to his wonderful staff that spent the time to go over all of my concerns, I knew Dr. H was the doctor for me! It’s only been one week since my surgery and I’ve only experienced very little to no pain at all Everything looks amazing & I just can’t wait to show my friends back at home my new “editions.”
