Meet our Team

Leo Urbinelli, MD, MA, FAAP, is a well-respected and highly-sought after board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon.  Dr. Urbinelli is often regarded as one of the top Plastic Surgeons in Portland, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.  He founded and serves as Medical Director at PNW Plastic Surgery in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Urbinelli specializes in plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery; as well as pediatric plastic, craniofacial and reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Urbinelli brings to the Pacific Northwest a unique background, skillset and expertise gained from his extensive training and experience.  After finishing in the top of his medical school class we was selected for and completed a rigorous and comprehensive combined surgical residency in general surgery – plastic & reconstructive surgery at the NYU Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (IRPS) at New York University (NYU) Medical Center/Bellevue Hospital in New York City. This highly competitive and world-renowed training program (regarded widely as the #1 Plastic Surgery Residency in the US) helped forge Dr. Urbinelli into the caring and skilled surgeon he is today.
