Service
Dr. Babbitt has been part of volunteer programs at every stage of his career and has found these experiences to be some of the most fulfilling aspects of his professional life. During residency and fellowship, he participated in multiple trips to South America where he was part of a team that performed cleft lip, cleft palate, burn and congenital hand surgeries. He plans to continue this work throughout his career, and encourages everyone to support programs that help bring much-needed medical and surgical care to those who are less fortunate.
Dr Babbitt is a skilled physician who does awesome plastic surgery! Somewhere, along the way in his training, he never lost his compassion for the human spirit. He is gentle, kind and a supportive clinician. He makes his patients feel at ease utilizing his excellent teaching skills along with humor, self-confidence and tenderness. He should be on the faculty of a med school mentoring future physicians. His treatment of my 17-year-old daughter was wonderful. I have been a nurse for over 30 years and he is, by far, one of the best physicians I have ever encountered.
