A former U.S. Air Force Chief of General Surgery and Rapid Response Team member for four years (2001-2005), Dr. Lo has done everything from directing surgeons and technicians in all aspects of preoperative care plus peer and medical record review; to mobilizing troops and supplies and creating a 300-bed field hospital during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The former chairman of both the infection control committee and cancer committee function — and a member of the air base’s critical incident stress team and expeditionary medical support teams – Dr. Lo won the Meritorious Service Medal while at McGuire Air Force Base (N.J.) in 2005, the First Sergeant’s Award at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C.

As a physician volunteer for both free clinics and the Red Cross, Dr. Lo has provided free general or plastic surgical and wound care for uninsured and indigent patients, as well as federal employees, military members, and their families.
Research-wise, Dr. Lo has authored or co-authored nine different publications on reconstructive surgery, infection control, postoperative care, and hernia repair. He has investigated and authored studies and projects on wound healing and chronic, non-healing wounds, complex sound management and reconstruction, and multi, drug-resistant organisms as a Fellow at the Institute for Wound Care and Limb Preservation, and has performed research on cranial suture fusion and facial aging factors in addition to performing cosmetic hand and reconstructive surgery on both adults and children.
