Through his pragmatic yet compassionate approach, Dr. Robert T. Howard has integrated his surgical expertise into the fabric of Annapolis by joining Plastic Surgery Specialists, marking a successful homecoming to the place where he grew up.
Dr. Howard’s medical journey began at the United States Naval Academy, cultivating in him a deep-rooted commitment to service. After completing his medical education at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and internships at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, VA, his military career took him across the globe.
From his initial role as a Diving Medical Officer in Guam to serving as the Ship’s Surgeon on the USS Nimitz in the Persian Gulf, Dr. Howard’s experiences affirmed his belief in the transformative potential of surgical intervention.
That potential applied just as strongly to civilian life as it did to the armed forces. Now at Plastic Surgery Specialists, Dr. Howard applies his skills with a personalized touch to help patients regain their confidence.
Beyond the operating room, Dr. Howard’s research, from extremity injuries to flap coverage techniques, advances medical knowledge and elevates patient care. Affiliations with esteemed organizations like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons underscore his pursuit of excellence.
Amidst his professional achievements, Dr. Howard’s bond with Maryland remains unwavering. Reflecting on this connection, he said, “There’s a unique satisfaction in giving back to the place that shaped me. Settling into and supporting the community that’s been an integral part of my life feels incredibly fulfilling.”
He finds joy in sharing life’s moments with his family—his wife, twin daughters, and son—while exploring the Anne Arundel County that shaped him. His transition from a globe-spanning military career to a local focus is felt throughout the area, as this skilled surgeon uses his platform at Plastic Surgery Specialists to improve lives every day.
