Dr. Arrington is originally from Harford County, Maryland and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia.  He matriculated to the University of Miami where he earned his Doctorate of Medicine.  Dr. Arrington was then honored as the first Miami medical student ever to match directly into a plastic surgery training program.  He subsequently spent six years at the University of Kentucky completing a combined Plastic Surgery Residency and Fellowship.  Upon completion of his training he returned to Maryland where he has been in private practice since 2000.
 
Dr. Arrington was fortunate to begin his training in Miami, arguably one of the epicenters of modern cosmetic surgery.  He benefited from an environment of cutting edge techniques and international influences.  He went on to Lexington where he completed his training in one of the strongest academic programs in the country. 
 
Once in private practice Dr. Arrington became well known for his technical expertise combined with his warm and compassionate bedside manner.  Building upon his reputation and growing success in 2002 he realized a personal dream and founded Atlantic Plastic Surgery.
 
Since that time, Atlantic Plastic Surgery has grown exponentially.  Under Dr. Arrington's stewardship Atlantic Plastic Surgery expanded to West Ocean City and recently added Anew MedSpa.  In October of 2007 Anew became the first free standing medical spa on the Eastern Shore.
 
The principals of surgical excellence combined with compassionate care are the driving forces behind Dr. Arrington's practice of medicine.  This standard of care and commitment to quality service has been instrumental in the development and subsequent success of Atlantic Plastic Surgery.

Philosophy

Plastic surgery is often considered a combination of art and science.  Utilizing the powerful tools of medicine in the pursuit of beauty.

Beauty is a subjective goal.  Often seen as the restoration of form or function be it actual or perceived.  We seek to repair the ravishes of time, pregnancy and the daily stress of life which accumulates on us all.  What is trivial to one may be vital to another.  Success arises from appreciating the subjective nature and subtle nuances of beauty.
