John Houle, MD

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Patient Rating
4.9/5 (Based on 96 Ratings)

I am one of only a few plastic surgeons in Minnesota to perform muscle sparing, microsurgical breast reconstruction using a patient’s own abdominal or thigh tissue (DIEP flap). Women from around the country come to CentraCare – Midsota Plastic Surgery for the procedure.

My expertise also extends to the full spectrum of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, including breast augmentation and reduction, as well as labiaplasty, body contouring and aesthetic facial surgery.

An astute listener and careful planner, I take the time to understand my patient’s goals, educate them on the process and deliver lasting results.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and participating in outdoor recreation.

    I had a really positive experience during my recent visit with Dr. Houle. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and well taken care of. Dr. Houle was incredibly kind, took the time to really listen to my concerns, and explained everything in a clear and thoughtful way. He was not only knowledgeable, but also made sure I felt fully informed and confident about the options available to me. I truly appreciated his professionalism and compassionate approach-and laughed at my jokes!
