Project Description

Joanna Ng-Glazier, MD

BIO

Dr. Ng was born and raised in Honolulu, and received a Bachelor of Arts magna cum laude in Sociology and Biology at Boston University. She then matriculated into Boston University School of Medicine, and completed a General Surgery Residency at Boston University School of Medicine/Boston Medical Center. Following this, Dr. Ng moved to Pittsburgh with her husband and two daughters, and is excited to begin her Independent Plastic Surgery Residency at Pitt.

Why Pitt?

I chose Pitt for several reasons, including its historical legacy, exceptional educational and operative experience, cutting-edge research in regenerative medicine, and genuinely caring and supportive nature.
