I'm Dr. Donald Balder. I earned my chemistry degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and completed my medical degree at the University of Illinois in Chicago. I specialized with a surgery residency at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. I am a board-certified general surgeon with over 25 years of experience in surgery.
While transforming my weight loss surgery patients, I recognized a significant need for cosmetic options to enhance their overall satisfaction. That insight led me to specialize in tummy tucks, arm lifts, body contouring, and facial aesthetics.
As a proctor and teacher for Apollo Medical Innovations, I have trained medical professionals in advanced techniques like PDO thread lifts, Botox, fillers, and PRF BioGel.
I am excited to be part of Acadia Women's Health & Cosmetic Surgery, where I aim to provide high-quality, compassionate care to my patients.
