Thomas Hester Jr MD
Overview
Dr. T. Roderick Hester received his MD and completed his general surgery and plastic surgery residencies at Emory, and was an Emory faculty member for 15 years before leaving in 1993 to found his Atlanta-based private practice aesthetic services clinic, Paces Plastic Surgery Center. Gradually Paces became the official aesthetic surgery rotation for Emory plastic surgery residents.
In 2001, Dr. Hester returned to Emory to serve as chief of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, formerly stepping down in January 2010. He remained on the Department of Surgery faculty while maintaining Paces' clinical activities, and began negotiating the unification of Paces' expertise with Emory's resources. His efforts culminated in March 2013, with Paces joining The Emory Clinic as the Emory Aesthetic Center.
