Personal History
At the age of five, Dr. Vonu was inspired by his pediatrician and decided to become a physician. He never wavered from that choice. When asked why he chose plastic surgery as a specialty, Dr. Vonu said, “It offers me the luxury of being both a physician and an artist. I enjoy developing a vision with my patient and then bringing it to fruition.” This collaborative approach is much appreciated by his patients. He takes his obligations as a doctor very seriously, wanting to give his patients the best possible result while minimizing their exposure to risks.
Dr. Vonu shares his surgical skills by volunteering with the University of Florida’s outreach program. He also visited Angola, Africa, where he worked with patients correcting congenital malformations.
Dr. Vonu’s passion for art extends beyond the operating room. He and his wife Mary enjoy visiting art galleries and finding new pieces to add to their home. An avid sportsman, Dr. Vonu can be frequently found sharing his love of the outdoors with his three children: Chelsea, Peter, and Trevor. Their Yorktown home is the perfect setting for his family’s love of water sports.

Patient Testimonials
”Dr Vonu and his entire staff was wonderful!!! They took as much time as I needed to explain things and answer my many questions. In the pre-op room Dr Vonu had friendly interactions with my husband making him feel comfortable with me having the procedure. The results are impressive. Even my husband was amazed. Initially, he didn't think I needed it. The change is natural. I get compliments about various things like "you have lost a lot of weight", you have a new hairstyle that looks great", "are you trying new makeup because your skin looks so good", "you look very happy and rested". It has been worth more to me than I imagined. I even received flowers from Dr Vonu during the recovery. Thanks to all!!!
