  • Dr. Agarwal's clinical interests include aesthetic plastic surgery, hand surgery, and reconstructive microsurgery with a focus on reconstruction of traumatic injuries and defects caused by cancer. He emphasizes using perforator flaps, a cutting-edge technique that uses the patient's own tissues to reconstruct the breast, head and neck, and extremities. Dr. Agarwal started the first Breast Reconstruction Fellowship training program at the University of Utah and serves as the Program Director for this Fellowship. Dr. Agarwal also serves as an advisor for medical students seeking to match into competitive residency programs.

    On this visit, I did not see Dr. Agarwal, but saw Dr. Osborne his associate instead. She was amazing! She did reassure me, though that Dr. Agarwal would be doing the surgical procedure.

    Dr. Agarwal is a very intelligent and empathetic surgeon. He has some of the best bedside manners I've known. He knows how to talk to his patients to make them feel comfortable and he takes time to listen and answer questions with confidence. Thank you Doctor Agarwal for being my reconstruction surgeon since 2013.

    Dr. Agarwal was excellent. Very thorough, kind, caring, professional. His Fellow, Greg and Irfan were excellent as well, as they discussed my case with me and explained my surgery so I could understand what to expect.

    I thought Dr Agerwall was very professional and obviously very intelligent. But I ended up choosing a surgeon who showed more warmth in our consolation. I didn't feel like I could trust Dr. Agerwall.
