Dr. Shirley Hu is a double board-certified and fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon who holds exceptional qualifications and surgical expertise in both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face. She developed a love for the fine arts at a young age, spending much of her formative years drawing and painting, and credits this as the spark for her passion for facial plastic surgery. She was awarded a full academic scholarship to Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, where she graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art/Sculpture and Chemistry.

Dr. Hu received her Doctor of Medicine degree from New York Medical College in Valhalla, NY. While in medical school, she was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society for excellence in scholarship and service, ultimately graduating second in her class. Dr. Hu then completed a five-year Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery residency at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. During her residency, she served as a surgeon on a medical mission trip to Colombia for microtia and cleft lip and palate repair and spearheaded research and educational initiatives. Dr. Hu also organized the nation’s first ENT-run COVID ICU during the height of the pandemic. Dr. Hu then completed a highly prestigious fellowship in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery with Dr. Stephen W. Perkins in Indianapolis, IN. She is board-certified by both the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (ABOHNS).
