Meet Dr. Roth
Born in Los Angeles, Dr. Jeffrey Roth moved to Las Vegas in 1977, and fell in love with what was, then, a sleepy little town. He remembers riding his bike to his local 7-11, which still had a fence post outside for customers’ horses. Talk about a different time. Although he headed east to Brandeis University for college, his dream was to always come home, and somehow make an impact on the people of Las Vegas. Drawn to medicine by his innate desire to help others, he received his medical degree from the University of Nevada School of Medicine, and completed his general surgery residency at the Medical College of Pennsylvania/Hahnemann University in Philadelphia and his plastic surgery residency at the University of California, San Francisco, serving as chief resident in both programs. He then furthered his training with a fellowship in microsurgery and hand surgery at USC where he also served on the faculty. Having finally gathered the kind of expertise that makes him a leader in his field, Dr. Roth returned to Las Vegas in 2003 and opened his own practice, Las Vegas Plastic Surgery, Inc.
