About Dr. Bosshardt
Shown operating under the watchful eye of Dr. Millard, Chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center, Dr. Bosshardt received his bachelor’s degree in science from the University of Miami, magna cum laude, then attended the university’s school of medicine and graduated in 1978 in the top third of his class. His surgical training was done at the United States Naval Hospital in Oakland, California. It was briefly interrupted from 1979-80 when he served as medical officer aboard the USS Wabash and was deployed to the Western Pacific with an aircraft carrier task force. He was involved in the rescue of Vietnamese boat people and was part of operations to end the Iranian hostage crisis in 1980. The USS Wabash received several decorations for this deployment, including the Meritorious Unit Commendation. Dr. Bosshardt completed his surgical training at Oakland and then served as general surgeon at the United States Naval Hospital in Okinawa, Japan. During this time, he obtained his board certification from the American Board of Surgery and applied for a position as a resident training in plastic surgery under world-renowned plastic surgeon, D. Ralph Millard, Jr., M.D., at the University of Miami, Jackson Memorial Medical center in Miami, Florida. He was honorably discharged from the Navy with the rank of Commander.
After completing his plastic surgery training in 1989, Dr. Bosshardt became the first plastic surgeon to practice full time in Lake County Florida. He obtained certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in 1991. Since starting in private practice, Dr. Bosshardt has participated regularly in overseas medical missions to provide reconstructive surgery to children with cleft lip and palate and other problems. His travels have taken him to the Phillippines, Guatemala, Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, and the West Bank. Dr. Bosshardt performs both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery in his practice, which has grown to two surgeons working out of a modern facility that houses the only state licensed private surgical suite in Central Florida dedicated exclusively to plastic surgery. Dr. Bosshardt has special interests in breast surgery including augmentation, reduction, and reconstruction after cancer surgery, skin cancer reconstruction, and pediatric plastic surgery for congenital deformities. The latter he does mainly on his overseas mission trips.
Although he takes pride in his accomplishments as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Bosshardt’s greatest pride is in his family: His wife, the former Sally Greenlee, and his three children: Lindsey, Travis and Olivia. Lindsey completed her masters degree in 2007 in clinical social work. Lindsey is married to David Pace, a pastor, and they have a daughter, Emerson. She is also a very accomplished photographer who is building a parallel career as an event/family photographer. The Pace family resides in Suffolk, VA. Travis obtained degrees in culinary arts and food service management from Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte, NC and is now a chef at Deep Blu, the signature restaurant at the new Wyndham Grand Resort and Hotel Bonnet Creek on Walt Disney World Property in Orlando. Olivia graduated from Samford University in Birmingham in December 2011 and has been accepted to the University of Miami School of Medicine, class of 2016. She is awaiting news from other schools before she makes her final decision on where to go.
Church in Leesburg for over 20 years. His personal and professional goals are to continually perfect his craft as a plastic surgeon and include making Bosshardt & Marzek Plastic Surgery Associates the premier practice for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in Central Florida, if not the state itself.
