Dr. Marouk
Although Dr. Marouk’s practice is built on the cornerstone of surgical science, he also recognizes and embraces the importance of treating the whole patient by forging a professional relationship with each of them to provide educational and emotional support. He has the uncanny ability to move beyond the technical jargon to explain the sometimes intimidating intricacies of cosmetic surgery in a way that fosters a strong understanding of what his patients are about to experience. He’s a master at jumping between the differing worlds of objective science and the subjective pursuit of beauty.
Dr. Marouk’s affinity for helping people through the practice of modern medicine makes perfect sense when viewed through the lens of his upbringing. He and his two siblings followed in their father’s footsteps to become successful physicians. In the nature vs. nurture argument, it would seem Dr. Marouk has both sides of the debate working for him. He was raised within a medical context and has the innate predisposition to excel within it, a unique perspective not shared by many of his ilk.
Dr. Marouk looks for the same qualities in his professional staff. He insists on competency, compassion and clear understanding of how these two qualities lead to positive outcomes for the patient.
Dr. Marouk completed his Cosmetic Surgical fellowship training at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania under the auspices of Dr. Julius Newman. Dr. Newman was considered by many to be one of the fore-fathers of Cosmetic Surgery and credited with introducing liposuction procedures to the United States from France. He and Dr. Marouk pioneered several modern surgical techniques which are at the forefront of Cosmetic Surgery.
We are confident that Dr. Marouk and his staff will provide you with a guided hand and the resources necessary to make an educated and well-informed decision regarding your specific needs and desires.
Through an unyielding desire to give his patients the results that look natural, Dr. Marouk has become a sought after Cosmetic/Plastic Surgeon in Phoenix. His honesty and high standards place Dr. Marouk as one of the Cosmetic Surgeons in the state of Arizona that you can trust.

Diane
There is much more to cosmetic surgery than the procedure. Multiple factors influence the process of arriving at the best decisions and outcomes that are by definition based on individual circumstances. To help sift through the initial questions, Dr. Marouk relies on the astute judgment and sincere compassion of long-time associate, Diane.
Her eight years of experience at Cosmetic Surgical Art Center in addition to prior education and experience gained while working under the direction of other physicians provides Diane with the technical expertise needed to serve as valued asset for patients. Add this to an innate understanding of the emotional and psychological implications, and it’s easy to see why Diane has become such a valued part of the team. She excels at welcoming patients at their first visit, helping them “imagine the new you,” working with them through the entire process and encouraging the healing process.
“The best compliment that patients tell me about Diane is that they knew from the moment they met her that she cared about them on a personal level,” said Dr. Marouk. “You can’t fake that kind of sincerity…it’s just who she is.”
Diane is knowledgeable about all of the surgical procedures and is always open to answering questions or reviewing sometimes complex information so that patients are able to make the best decision for themselves.
