Dr. Javad Tavassoli

Dr. Javad Tavassoli was born in Boston, Massachusetts but lived most of his life in Jackson, Mississippi. He graduated from Millsaps College in Jackson, completing a Bachelor's degree in Biology as well as Philosophy and Religion. He subsequently matriculated to medical school and completed his medical degree at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, also in Jackson.

Having developed a strong interest in surgery during medical school, Dr. Tavassoli applied and was accepted for surgical residency in General Surgery at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, Georgia. Memorial Health is the only Level 1 Trauma center in Savannah and serves as the Tertiary referral center for a relatively large patient population in and around the city.

During his surgical training, Dr. Tavassoli has operated on over 1400 primary major cases with a total case log of over 2500 cases. His surgical experiences have included Trauma/Surgical Intensive Care, Surgical Oncology, Colorectal, Minimally Invasive surgery, Head & Neck surgery, Plastic, Vascular, Pediatric, Cardiothoracic, and Breast Cancer surgery.

After completing his Chief resident year, Dr. Tavassoli gained acceptance to our General Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship. The patients who have met him already have experienced his southern hospitality with his southern accent and are fond of him. He is a great addition to our team.
