Dr. Jennifer Weintraub

 

Dr. Weintraub's warm and approachable personality, combined with her meticulous nature, distinguishes her as a talented surgeon.

 

Born and raised in California, Dr. Jennifer Weintraub temporarily relocated to the east coast to attend college at prominent Ivy League institution the University of Pennsylvania, where she graduated cum laude with a BA in politics and philosophy. She then moved one state north for medical school at the historic Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University in New York City, receiving her medical degree as a member of the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. Dr. Weintraub returned to the west coast to continue her training as a chosen resident of Stanford University Medical Center’s highly competitive reconstructive and plastic surgery program, where she met her Duet partner Dr. Angeline Lim.

As part of the intensive residency program at Stanford, Dr. Weintraub received training in all aspects of complex reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, which included rotations at several world-class medical institutions in the Bay Area. Rather than join the ranks of doctors of hospital-based practices upon completing her residency in 2008, she joined forces with Dr. Lim to co-found the intimate, small-group practice that is Duet.

As a woman, mother, and a surgeon, Dr. Weintraub takes a special interest in restoring the figures of women after pregnancy and childbirth with body contouring procedures such as breast lift and augmentation, tummy tuck, and body lifts. She also specializes in tuberous breast reconstruction and improvement of breast asymmetry. She has distinguished herself with a top-notch reputation for her meticulous surgical technique, artistic eye, and warm, personalized approach to every patient throughout every step of their care.

Board-certified in plastic surgery, Dr. Weintraub is also active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery and the California Society of Plastic Surgeons. She has published numerous scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and textbook chapters on topics including wound healing and scars, rhinoplasty, breast aesthetics and reconstruction, burn resuscitation, and complex hand reconstruction. She has also presented her research at several national scientific meetings and medical conferences.

A resident of the Bay Area, Dr. Weintraub enjoys spending time after office hours with her husband, their three children, and of course, their beloved border collie.
