About Me

My job as a reconstructive surgeon is to put things back together and make people feel whole again. I’d say most people are surprised by what is available to them – whether we’re using implants or we’re using their own tissue.

What attracted Keith Hood, MD, most to plastic surgery were these two words: precision and perfectionism.

 

As a plastic surgeon, he never accepts anything less than his personal best. His goal is to offer treatments and procedures that help patients feel satisfied the rest of their lives.

 

Hood’s practice is focused on reconstructive surgery, body contouring and cosmetic procedures. He knows that plastic surgery (even just something minor) can positively transform a patient’s emotional and physical well-being. He’s proud to be part of the process.

 

As an assistant professor in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Rush, he enjoys teaching and is a big believer in patient education. During an initial consultation, he sees himself as a guide to show the many options that plastic surgery can offer so patients can feel knowledgeable about the possibilities. By showing diagrams and pictures, he helps each patient confidently choose the option that works best for their body and lifestyle. And he is always happy to answer any follow-up questions after an initial visit by email or phone.

 

What brings him the most joy are the numerous thank you cards and emails he receives from patients. Especially from breast cancer patients who have undergone an extensive reconstructive process, he and his staff feel happy that they were able to be the “light at the end of a tunnel” in the patient’s journey.

 

He enjoys hiking, biking, kayaking and rock climbing. Hood is a Bears and White Sox fan and loves being a dad to his two little girls.

I love how patiently and calmly Dr Hood answers my questions. Goes through the plan to make sure I understand. THEN repeats it back to me to make sure we are in the same page.

A Patient at Rush - Jul 2024
Dr Hood made me cry (HAPPY TEARS)! I saw another Dr through another network that made me feel worthless and as if she didn't want to see me and like she didn't have time for me and I wasn't worthy of surgery. Dr Hood IMMEDIATELY let me know he was happy to help me and said we were going to have a long relationship as I need several surgeries. He's so PHENOMENAL!
