George A. Farber, M.D.

Patients want to know more about Dr. Farber on a personal and career interest note.

Farber, M.D.Dr. Farber was born in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1934. As an infant, he was a passenger on the first nonstop flight from Miami to New York City. He attended the University of Florida his freshman year, and was on the swimming, baseball and boxing teams. He then transferred to LSU where he completed his undergraduate studies in 1955. Upon graduation, he attended LSU School of Medicine and graduated in 1959. Dr. Farber interned at Southern Baptist Hospital. He also trained in Ob-Gyn and general surgery, and worked with Dr. Walter Becker of the Mahorner Clinic.

At LSU, Dr. Farber had been a commander of the Air Force ROTC, and he continued in the Reserves throughout medical school. In 1960, Dr. Farber was called to active duty in the U.S. Air Force. After completing a training program at the Aerospace School of Medicine in San Antonio, Texas, he spent three years as a flight surgeon, rising to the level of chief flight surgeon at Luke Air Force Base in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1963, he began a residency in dermatology at LSU School of Medicine. In 1966, Dr. Farber was sent to Vietnam as a dermatologist - the first dermatologist sent to Vietnam by any branch of the service. Dr. Farber has received the Bronze Star, four combat flying medals, and numerous other citations for his service.

When he returned from Vietnam, he spent three years as chief of dermatology at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi and as a consultant to the Surgeon General for dermatology for the southeastern United States. In 1970, Dr. Farber began his association with Dr. Burks, which led to a full partnership. He also served on the faculty of Tulane School of Medicine, and from 1981-1983, he served as Interim Chairman of the Department of Dermatology while the head of the department was on sabbatical.

Dr. Farber was one of the founders of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, which has become the major international society for dermatologic surgery. He held many offices and directorships with that organization, including the presidency. He was also one of the founding members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and an officer, director, and examiner for the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery.

He held these positions until 1990, when he relinquished his positions in favor of more youthful candidates in order to ensure a continuum of qualified leadership for that organization. In 1990, Dr. Farber was one of the four founders of the American Academy of Aesthetic and Restorative Surgery. He is the president at this time. This organization is limited to specialists with board certification in five areas of specialization, and is a medical non-profit organization dedicated to teaching in aesthetic and restorative surgery. Dr. Farber represents the specialty of dermatology in that organization.

Dr. Farber has published many articles and has been a member of many organizations. Dr. Farber's ability to develop and maintain a large practice, and to maintain quality standards, has allowed him to be a leader in the area of dermatology and dermatologic cosmetic surgery worldwide. We, at the Burks-Farber Clinics, are pleased to work with him and for him, take pleasure and countenance in his constant inexhaustible energy and experience and his kindness to employees, patients, and friends.
