Keith R. Durante, MD, PC, FACS

A SURGEON'S COMPELLING JOURNEY OF HEALING THROUGH FORGIVENESS

Before bocoming a highly successful hair-replacement surgeon, for many years Dr. Keith R. Durante was a highly successful micro-vuscular surgeon, known for his skillful precision in replacing aortas, restoring limbs, fixing carotid arter-ica, and saving Lives. His extensive oducation, board certifica- don, and training included a vascular fellowship under Dr.Lester R. Sauvage, a world-renowned cardio-vascular surgeon in Seattle. The remarkable story of Dr. Durante’s switch from one spocialty to another is detailed below:

Dr. Durante transitioned from an esteemed career in a surgical specialty critical to a person’s life to his current spe-clalty critical to a person’s happiness; hair transplantation for men and women. He not only treats hair loss and fixes poorly done transplants, but he is also a master at transforming eyebrows and is now increasingly called on to restore beards.

Dr. Durante has perfected it all because his experience and expertise as a vascular surgeon has given him a true advantage in his current practice. He is Lager-focused on hair and he absolutely loves what he does. *I’m thrilled that thousands of people have discovered me and my practice.” He is hands down considered the best for hair transplants.

You may ask why Dr. Durante changed specialtics. The key event that drove him into a personal and professional meta morphosis wus the sudden death of his beloved daughter Elizabeth. She was an aspiring doctor who was tragically killed by a drunk driver while on her way to the airport for humani tarian work in Uganda. De. Durante made it his mission to honor Liz’s philanthropic ambitions and eventually travelled to Uganda himself. From that trip. “Project Lia – The Mountain Pygmy Project” was born. “I felt it was my obligation to continue the work ahe had started,” aays Dr. Durante. When he began his work in Uganda, he buile a clinic from generous donations in Liz’s honet Yet the clinic wasn’t oquipped

to treat very sick children, let alone perform surgery. He knew that a child would die if a scrious emergency presented, so Dr. Durante sought a more appropriate medical setting where he could volunteer his skills as a surgeon.

In rural Uganda near the Virunga Mountain Range, Dr. Durante discovered a hospital that needed a sungcon, and he quickly found it to be a new home. “I started going as often as I could, because it was there I realized that I could per form surgeries and serve the community the best,” he says.
