The Derfner-Lieberman Family Center for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery was officially unveiled Tuesday, July 30, at a ribbon-cutting held at the May Center for Mount Sinai Doctors. The facility was made possible through a $6 million gift from Jay Lieberman, trustee of the Derfner Foundation and member of the Department of Surgery Advisory Board.
Featuring first-of-its-kind technology, each of the nine modern private patient exam rooms is equipped with a 55-inch touchscreen Microsoft HUB computer, allowing for a more comprehensive and interactive review of presurgical planning; better visualization of anticipated surgical results following reconstructive surgery for a cancer diagnosis, an accident, or gender-affirming procedures; and a more enhanced consultation experience for the patient and the surgeon.
