He successfully completed the certification test for pharmacy in Idaho and in Nevada, and became a Registered Pharmacist. After working as a full time pharmacist for three years, his desire was to embrace more patient contact, so he entered medical school in 1976. He was granted a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Nevada Medical School in Reno Nevada, graduating with honors.
After medical school, Dr. True completed his internship at one of the most reputable programs in the nation, Charity Hospital in New Orleans Louisiana, affiliated with Tulane University Medical School. After internship, he practiced emergency medicine full time in Louisiana hospitals for two years. Subsequently, he returned to New Orleans to complete his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology again at Charity Hospital under the acclaimed Tulane division. During his residency, he acquired extensive training in surgical techniques and had the luxury of training with many of today’s pre-eminent gynecologic surgeons from Nevada to Louisiana. During his last year in residency, Dr. True was given the prestigious honor by his professors and fellow resident colleagues of serving as chief resident of the OB-GYN department of Charity Hospital of New Orleans.
Dr. True was interested in expanding his surgical skills and interests to include cosmetic procedures, so during his last year of residency, he attended further training in traditional liposuction body contouring surgery. He became a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons.
After completion of his residency in 1986, Dr. True started his practice in Obstetrics and Gynecology in Arlington, Texas. He immediately became very busy in his obstetrics and gynecology practice and incorporated liposuction and body contouring into his practice. He received further training in the advanced technique of tumescent liposuction and was one of the first physicians in Texas to incorporate
SmartLipo ™ Laser Liposculpture into his practice.
Because of his extensive experience in liposuction techniques, he now is one of a few select cosmetic surgeons who teach these techniques to physicians from around the world. His accredited course is sponsored by the American Academy of Cosmetic Gynecologists (AAOCG.ORG). He is also a preceptor of Tumescent Liposuction and SmartLipo™ to help train physicians in these techniques.
Dr. True is one of a very few physicians trained in the technique of Awake Breast Augmentation. Trained by the talented surgeon who developed and improved this technique to be performed “under the muscle” for improved cosmetic appearance, he is privileged to be able to offer this innovative technique to his patients who desire painless breast augmentation while they’re awake without being put to sleep.
