This was followed by a fellowship in advanced reconstructive and microvascular surgery at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at New York University (NYU). Dr. Tanna also holds a MBA in healthcare management from The George Washington University. Dr. Neil Tanna is passionate about the art and science of plastic surgery. In 2018, Dr. Tanna was promoted to the rank of Professor of Plastic Surgery with the Zucker School of Medicine, making him one of the youngest full professors at Northwell Health.
