She is thrilled to join Dr. Sauerhammer specifically, as she did her training in the Harvard hospitals including Boston Children’s Hospital, the same place Amanda was first employed as a PA.

Commitment to Excellence

Amanda’s professional philosophy has always been to provide care for her patients in an environment where they feel understood and that their medical and emotional needs are heard and met.

Amanda loves plastic surgery because it offers a new problem and solution for every patient and case even those with the same diagnosis. “I love seeing patients as individuals and treating their concerns as such. The cosmetic and reconstructive aspects add another layer of ‘plasticity’ which is what plastic surgery is all about.”

Amanda enjoys spending time with her daughter, practicing hot yoga, traveling, making and eating great food, and outdoor activities.
