Dr. Tanya Judge skillfully blends an innate artistic eye with years of surgical experience in plastic surgery. She discovered her love for science at a young age, which led her to pursue a career in medicine. After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley and during medical school, Dr. Judge realized that her love for science was only matched by her love of art — she is an avid photographer, woodworker, interior designer, and painter (including some of what you see on this site). It was clear that plastic surgery was the only field of medicine that could uniquely take advantage of her artistic talents and zeal for medicine.
Her approach to medical care is to understand her patient’s aesthetic goals and then to set realistic expectations about the results that are achievable for them. She believes in natural beauty, a simple idea that great aesthetic surgery is imperceptible to even the most trained eye. She achieves this by focusing on the visual ideas of achieving symmetry and balance.
Dr. Judge is a Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. She completed her General Surgery residency at Cornell University and Temple University and is board certified in General Surgery. In addition, she completed a residency in Plastic Surgery from UC Davis and is board certified in Plastic Surgery.
