Ellen Satteson MD
My name is Dr. Satteson, and I am an assistant professor and plastic surgeon in the University of Florida Department of Surgery. The intricate anatomy of the hand drew my pursuit in hand surgery, in addition to getting patients back to their normal activities. As a physician, my goal is to provide quality, compassionate, patient-centered and customizable care for each of my patients.
My journey started at Georgetown University School of Medicine where I earned my medical degree. Shortly after, I completed my integrated plastic surgery residency at Wake Forest School of Medicine, where I have been a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society since 2011. During my residency, I was awarded the Wake Forest Plastic Surgery Resident Research Award and won the American Society for Surgery of the Hand Annual Meeting Scholarship. Finally, I completed a hand and upper limb fellowship at Stanford University.
In 2022, I was selected as a Young Leader for the American Society for Surgery of the Hand. Prior, I completed multiple medical mission trips in Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Moldova and most recently in Zimbabwe. Additionally, my publications have been in the top of hand and plastic surgery journals and I have been asked to speak at national conferences. I am a member of the Southeastern Society of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons, among several other affiliations.
In my leisure time, I enjoy staying active by hiking and running. I also enjoy traveling around the world. Some of my most favorite trips were visiting the Galapagos Islands, Iceland, New Zealand and Thailand.

Rachel N Cohen-Shohet M.D.
I am a plastic surgeon in the University of Florida Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and I specialize in hand surgery, peripheral nerve and microsurgery. My clinical areas of interests are in carpal tunnel release, carpal tunnel syndrome, hand x-ray, wrist arthroscopy and wrist pain.
I earned my medical degree and pursued my plastic surgery residency at the University of Florida College of Medicine. Thereafter, I completed a hand surgery fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, where I received training in common hand surgery pathologies such as arthritis, Dupuytren’s and nerve compression. I also received training in complex upper extremity trauma and reconstruction, brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries.
I have authored and contributed to numerous publications and have participated in multiple scientific podium and poster presentations. I specialize in extremity salvage and reconstruction including microsurgical free flaps. In addition, I offer a procedure known as targeted muscle reinnervation, which aims to treat chronic pain in amputee patients.

Loretta M Coady-Fariborzian MD
I joined the University of Florida Department of Surgery as an assistant professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery in 2007. I currently practice at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville. I strive to provide the highest level of care for the veteran population. My patients are like my family members as I treat them like one of mine.
Prior to joining the department of surgery, I completed a fellowship in plastic surgery at UF and a fellowship in hand surgery at the Hand Center of Western New York in Buffalo. I attended medical school at SUNY Health Science Center in Brooklyn, New York, then completed a surgery internship and surgery residency at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York.
My clinical interests are in breast reconstruction and hand surgery. I treat patients for various conditions, including breast reconstruction (natural tissue and microvascular surgery for breast reconstruction), skin cancer, nerve compressions (carpal tunnel, ulnar tunnel and cubital tunnel syndromes), Dupuytren’s contracture, basilar joint arthritis, replantation of digits and webbing of the fingers of toes.
In addition to treating patients, I contribute to resident education and improving the surgical standards of care. When not treating patients, I enjoy staying active by running and biking. You can also find me at Busch Gardens riding the fastest roller coasters.

Watching my father, who is a general surgeon, take care of patients in remote and underserved areas growing up, inspired my direction to become a doctor. After my general surgery residency, I recognized my strengths of being meticulous and problem solving. The rest is history, and now I am an assistant professor with the University of Florida Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. My treatment philosophy is simple: I listen to my patients to understand their needs, explain their condition and all the treatment options available, help them arrive at a well-informed decision, and strive to deliver the best personalized treatment plan that is achievable.
I am a skilled plastic surgeon with 8 years of active practice. My training started in India, where I received my bachelor’s degrees for surgery and medicine at NDMVP Samaj Medical College (now Dr. Vasantrao Pawar Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre). I also achieved a Master of Surgery in general surgery at Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College and a Master of Chirurgiae in Plastic and Reconstructive surgery at the Sri Ramachandra Medical College. Thereafter, I completed three plastic surgery fellowships in burn surgery, microsurgery and pediatric craniofacial surgery at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
In India, I am also board certified in general surgery, in addition to plastic and reconstructive surgery. Prior to arriving at UF, I worked at the University of Tennessee as a plastic surgeon and faculty member for five years. In addition to my several research publications, I am a member of various organizations domestically and globally, such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Association of Plastic Surgeons of India, Indian Society for Surgery of the Hand, American Burn Association and Indian Medical Association.

For as long as I can remember, I had a desire to make a difference. As a professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery, I seek to make a difference for those I treat and those I work with. I was drawn to plastic surgery because it allows me to treat patients with various conditions that affect function or appearance as a result of birth defects, trauma, illness and aging. I specialize in cosmetic surgical procedures, breast reconstruction and reduction and skin cancer. As a provider, I aim to provide care that is both compassionate and individualized to each patient.
I earned my medical degree from the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Thereafter, I completed a general surgery residency at the Medical College of Virginia (now the VCU Medical Center) in Richmond. Then, I completed a plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Previously, I have served as an assistant professor of surgery in the UF Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery from 1995 to 2000, followed by working in private practice in Gainesville for 10 years before returning to UF in 2010.
Since 1995, I have been practicing as a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I am a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and serve in a variety of leadership roles in regional and national plastic surgery organizations. Additionally, I have lectured nationally and internationally on the topics of aesthetic surgery and breast surgery. Many instances, I have been recognized by various organizations as Top Doctor or among Top Plastic Surgeons.
When I am not practicing at UF Health Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center, I enjoy spending time with my family. Also, I enjoy staying active by backpacking, cycling and doing strength training.
