Background
Dr. James B. Joaquino has served on the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery for eight years — the body responsible for upholding national standards in plastic surgery safety and quality. He is also an Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Medical Center and Section Chief at two government hospitals. He has publicly committed to "restoring the real image of plastic surgery" — a direct response to unregulated private clinics whose surgical stunts have damaged the field's credibility.
Approach & Philosophy
His reconstructive background gives NewLife particular strength in complex cases and revision surgery, including reconstruction after trauma, congenital deformity correction, and corrective work after failed prior procedures elsewhere. Dr. Joaquino is known for frank, honest consultations and a strong emphasis on patient safety above all else.
