Dr. Renata's parents came to New York City from the Ukraine when she was only five years old. A true reflection of the American Dream, her parents each dedicated their lives to retraining as doctors and helping the people of their Brooklyn community while raising their daughter in a new land. When the time came for Dr. Renata to open her own facial cosmetic surgery practice, she felt a "magnetic" pull bringing her back to New York City. For Dr. Renata, her family is the inspiration to return to her roots and continue along the pathway of providing exceptional patient care, right here in Brooklyn.
