Meet Dr. Wilhelm A. Kienast
Plastic Surgeon in Monterey, CA
Dr. Wil(helm) Kienast is a board-eligible plastic surgeon. Originally born and raised in Houston, Texas, he always had his eyes set on the West Coast. After completing his undergraduate degree at Rice university, he went on and completed his medical school M.D. degree at Texas A&M University HSC College of Medicine. He then became a California transplant completing his 6 year Integrated plastic surgery residency program at Loma Linda University Medical Center, in Southern California. He trained alongside Dr. Wong before her graduation, and received a similar expansive and diverse training in the fields of reconstructive surgery, aesthetic surgery, craniofacial surgery, breast surgery, and hand surgery.
In addition, during his training, he completed several research projects, having presented and published papers for wound journals, burn journals, and plastic surgery journals, his ability to stay on top of the latest advances in plastic surgery is facile. His interest in medical education has also allowed him to provide training to medical students both in Texas and California, who are in pursuit of their own residency programs.
When away from the office or OR, Dr. Wil enjoys spending his time doing outdoor activities such as running, hiking, playing soccer, visiting dog parks, and going to the beach. Visiting vineyards, dancing, and listening to new music follows closely behind.
