Jason H. Pomerantz, M.D.

Plastic and reconstructive surgeon

Dr. Jason H. Pomerantz is a plastic surgeon who specializes in pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgery including the treatment of craniofacial anomalies. He cares for children and adults with congenital or acquired deformities, especially of the head and face, such as cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis and traumatic facial injuries.

Pomerantz earned a medical degree at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Mew York and completed a residency at UCSF, a postdoctoral research fellowship in regeneration biology at Stanford University and a fellowship in craniofacial surgery at the University of Washington. His research focuses on tissue regeneration and maintenance by stem cells to optimize tissue repair and correct deformities associated with development, trauma or disease. He is an assistant professor of surgery in the UCSF School of Medicine.
