Dr Simoni has two board certification in Facial Plastic Surgery by American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery (www.abfprs.org) and American Board of Head and Neck Surgery/Otolaryngology.

Early through his training, Dr. Simoni realized that the field of facial plastic surgery is vast, diversified, and continuously changing. Following completion of his training, Dr. Simoni sought an experience that most plastic surgeons dream of but never achieve. He decided to travel through the country to study under and spend time with some of the top leaders in the field of facial plastic surgery to benefit from their techniques and experiences. His distinguished teachers in Facial Plastic Surgery include Dr. Louis Vasconez, Dr. Gaylon McCoulough, Dr. Russel Kridel, Dr. Daniel Rousso, and Dr. Artemus Cox. Dr Simoni extended his cosmetic surgery interest into liposuction and liposculpture by tumescent technique. He was trained by Dr Jeffery Klein, the inventor of tumescent liposuction.

Dr. Simoni's specialization in the field of Plastic Surgery has been in the facial aesthetics and tumescent liposuction. He is subspecialized in rhinoplasty (plastic surgery of nose), blephroplasty (eyelid rejuvenation), rhytidectomy (face lift), mid-facelift (minimal facelift for younger patients), endoscopic forehead (brow) lift, fat transfer, otoplasty (correction of protruded ears), tumescent liposuction, Botox and restylane injection, and skin resurfacing (for facial skin rejuvenation).
