NORTHAMPTON — Plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Brian Pryor and physician assistants Taylor Cohen and Miah DiGregorio have joined Cooley Dickinson Northampton Plastic Surgery and the Cooley Dickinson Hospital medical staff.

Board-certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery, Pryor comes to Cooley Dickinson Hospital after nearly seven years at Mercy Medical Center in Springfield, where he served as chief of Plastic Surgery.

Pryor brings new skills and specialized services to Cooley Dickinson, including fat-transfer procedures, such as gluteal-augmentation surgery and fat grafting; highly specialized tummy-tuck techniques for patients following bariatric surgery (fluer de lis abdominoplasty, panniculectomy); genital surgery (labiaplasty); as well as liposuction, breast reduction and breast reconstruction, breast augmentation, and breast-lift surgery (mastopexy); and face-lift, arm-lift (brachioplasty), and thigh-lift (thighplasty) procedures.

“I work with each person on their unique solution,” Pryor said. “I am dedicated to helping each patient find the treatment or procedure to accomplish their goals.”

Pryor graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, where he completed his internship and residency in general surgery, as well as a fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He is a fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons.

Prior joins colleagues Dr. Simone Topal and physician assistant Nicole Zarba. Pryor, along with Cohen and DiGregorio, joined Cooley Dickinson Plastic Surgery last fall.
