Virginia Information

Dr. Marefat has been practicing in the Washington metropolitan area since 1992. He obtained his medical degree with distinction (AOA) from Georgetown University in 1985. He then embarked on his residency training at Georgetown, first in general surgery (1985-1989), and later in plastic and reconstructive surgery (1989-1991). After his residency was completed, he underwent further post-graduate training at New York University, specializing in reconstructive microsurgery (1991-1992). Dr. Marefat has been affiliated with many of the finest medical facilities in the greater Washington metropolitan area since the completion of his training, including Inova Fairfax Hospital, Inova Alexandria Hospital, and Potomac Hospital. During his many years of practice, he has been dedicated to the art of plastic surgery in the truest sense by being both an accomplished "artist" and a conscientious "surgeon." Saeed Marefat has been painting from an early age, and over the past 20 years he has experimented with various other mediums such as sculpture, photography, and film. He is primarily a figurative painter and sculptor, although he continues to explore possibilities of abstract design for expressing conceptual subject matters in a visual format. Artistic creativity plays a major role in all aspects of his life, both personally and professionally. In fact, he views plastic surgery as another outlet for artistic expression. In this case, the human body itself becomes the medium through which a sculptor/surgeon creates perfect form and balance.
