Dr. Van Wormer graduated summa cum laude in biology and biochemistry from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. He received his doctorate in medicine from The Medical College of Virginia, in Richmond, in 1980 and finished his surgical internship at York Hospital in Pennsylvania in 1981.

Dr. Van Wormer is a Board Certified Laser Surgeon by the American Board of Laser Surgery – the only one in Texas or New Mexico and one of only 300 in the United States. He is a Board Certified Diplomat of the American Board of AntiAging Medicine.

He has 2 decades of medical experience in Internal Medicine, Intensive Care, Emergency Medicine and Family Practice. He has a special interest in physics and completed registry requirements in Vascular Ultrasound and Cardiac Ultrasound, performing in the 99th percentile. He subsequently patented his own invention, the world’s first ultrasonographically-guided angioplasty catheter, after designing the laboratory and experimentation facility for testing.

Over a decade ago, Dr. Van Wormer became certified in office laser procedures such as hemorroidectomy, cervical laser, correction of obstructive sleep apnea and blepharoplasty. He subsequently became a laser safety and laser physics instructor for Luxar Lasers, having been certified by the Laser Safety Institute. He completed training in Laser Resurfacing at the Scripps Dermal Institute in La Jolla, California, under the direction of Drs. Goldman and Fitzpatrick, as seen on “Nightline” and “20/20”. He has completed hundreds of full face resurfacings, many with combined eye area blepharoplasties, with extraordinary results.. His expertise and innovation in pre- and post-operative management with dermal growth products gives his patients an “edge” in healing and resurfacing results.

And he practices what he preaches – Dr. Van Wormer is 52 years old.
