Bio

Jonathan Boraski, MD, DMD, FACS is Chief of Surgery at West Jefferson hospital, as well as a major faculty member at UMC. 

Dr. Boraski received a BA from the University of Vermont, he originally decided on dentistry and received a dental degree from Tufts University in Boston.  He then completed training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Emory University. While pursuing a career in oral surgery, he became increasingly interested in plastic surgery and decided to pursue further training.  He subsequently completed a residency in general surgery at Tulane University before transitioning to plastic surgery at LSU.

Following his training at LSU, he entered private practice at West Jefferson.  His primary interest was in general reconstruction and microsurgery.  His training in oral surgery was useful in treating major craniofacial injuries resulting from the industrial West Bank location. He also became a medical leader, with multiple terms of service as Chief of Surgery and Chief of Staff at West Jefferson and mentoring a generation of residents along the way. He now staffs cases at UMC on a weekly basis, in addition to his duties at West Jefferson.

Dr. Boraski arguably has the most fun operating out of all the faculty; the fun carries down to the residents operating with him.
