DR. DANIEL HATEF
Finding a good board certified plastic surgeon in Nashville isn’t difficult. As the 3rd most saturated market in the country per capita, we have a lot of talented plastic surgeons. But when girlfriends are talking about who to see, one of the names that comes up most often is that of DR. DAN HATEF. Dr. Hatef’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence quickly established his name in a town known as the healthcare mecca, and through the years he has continued to build that reputation.
The double-fellowship trained, board certified, aesthetic plastic surgeon is widely regarded as “Nashville’s Nose Doc”, but he is also highly regarded when it comes to aesthetic surgery of the breast. Despite his penchant for surgery, Dr. Hatef and his Manhattan-trained Nurse Practitioner Jessie Madormo are on the cutting edge of regenerative injectables. “We have really cut back on our use of filler. Hyaluronic acid has its’ place, but that place is evolving into a smaller and smaller piece of what we do”.
