Early in medical school, Dr. Minton developed a passion for the intricate anatomy of the head and neck and its associated disease processes. This led him to pursue residency training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, which he completed at the State University of New York Upstate Medical University in Syracuse. During residency, Dr. Minton received training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery with a specific emphasis the management of patients with facial trauma as well as head and neck cancer reconstructive surgery. It was this experience that allowed him to develop a special interest in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and pursue further fellowship training in this field.

Dr. Minton has published articles, book chapters, and presented research at national meetings in the field of facial plastic surgery. He plans to continue to advance the field of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery throughout his career with further publications as well as teaching and educational efforts.
