Berry Fairchild, MD

Dr. Berry Fairchild’s fascination with the human body and process of disease was nurtured from a young age, moving around the country while her father completed his surgical training in abdominal transplantation. A product of five grade schools in different states, frequent relocations encouraged her to integrate into different situations and hone communication skills from a young age, lessons that cultivated a resilience she has carried with her into the professional setting.

As an ER technician, phlebotomist and surgical resident, she took pride in meticulously managing patients which progressed naturally into pursuit of surgical training. She attended medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where her interest in Surgery grew. After graduating with honors, she attended The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston for General Surgery residency. At one of the busiest level one trauma centers in the country she cared for numerous patients in the wake of devastating injury. Throughout surgical training, she found herself returning to the OR long past the initial damage control surgeries to partake in the reconstructive aftermath and was consistently drawn to intricate operations demanding technical precision. This interest persisted and grew throughout her time training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
