Christopher R. Hove, M.D.
Dr. Hove is a fully licensed, board-certified facial plastic surgeon with a professional background that places him at the top of his field. After receiving his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Cornell University, he attained his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia and went on to complete his residency in otolaryngology/head and neck surgery at Albany Medical Center Hospital in Albany, New York. Dr. Hove then went through subspecialty fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at Stanford University Hospital in Palo Alto, California.
A member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Hove has written numerous medical articles, published medical illustrations, given scientific presentations, and served as a frequent guest lecturer at Stanford University Hospital's division of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Drawn to plastic surgery and its emphasis on technical proficiency and artistry, Dr. Hove is the first board-certified facial plastic & reconstructive surgeon in the Temecula Valley. He specializes in facial cosmetic surgery as well as difficult reconstructive procedures for facial trauma or cancer removal. As Dr. Hove is also board certified in head and neck surgery, he has extensive expertise in nasal obstruction and sinus problems, sleep disorders, and difficult airway anatomy. He is excited and passionate about the work he does, a fact that is exemplified in his service to the Vascular Birthmark Foundation, which provides care for children with vascular birthmarks, and the Face to Face program, a group that gives pro-bono cosmetic work to victims of domestic violence.
