Meet Dr. Misch

Emily Misch, MD, MPH

DENVER’S PREMIERE FACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON

Dr. Emily Misch is a New York City-trained Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon who exclusively specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the head and neck.

Recognized and rewarded for her excellence

Dr. Emily Misch completed her undergraduate education at Colgate University in Hamilton, NY, where she was recognized as an Alumni Memorial Scholar, a designation given to the top 200 Colgate University applicants, and graduated cum laude

She went on to obtain a Master in Public Health degree from Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, a world leader in public health education. There, she focused on global health and received a scholarship to visit and study the Community Rural Health Project in Jamkhed, India. 

Dr. Misch received her medical degree in Chicago, IL at Rush Medical College. She then completed a highly competitive five year residency in Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Colorado. 

In both medical school and residency, Dr. Misch conducted multiple research projects and published numerous peer review research articles and book chapters. She was also actively involved in many volunteer and service organizations.


World Class Facial Plastic Surgery Training

It was in Colorado where Dr. Misch realized her passion for Facial Plastic Surgery. 

After residency, she completed a prestigious American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery accredited fellowship with Dr. Andrew Jacono in Manhattan, NY. 

Working under Dr. Jacono, a world renowned facelift surgeon, Dr. Misch is one of a select few surgeons in the world who have received extensive training in the extended deep plane facelift.

Dr. Misch is an active member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, where she sits on their Young Professionals Committee, as well as the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery. She is board certified in Otolaryngology- Head & Neck Surgery.

When not seeing patients, Dr. Misch enjoys basking in the sunshine of Colorado through hiking, cycling, and skiing (with ample sunscreen, of course). She also enjoys traveling, exploring the local Denver food scene, and spending time with her adorable niece.

Dr. Misch is excited to return to Denver and bring her unique, advanced surgical skills to the people of Colorado.
