Dr. Costantino is the recent recipient of the prestigious "The Best Doctors in America Plaque" for 2003-2004.

This plaque is awarded only to those physicians who have been selected by consensus of their peers, to be included in the Best Doctors listings.

Only about 4% of all doctors in the U.S. are honored in this way by their colleagues. This award is bestowed as the result of a nationwide survey, in which doctors cast more than one million votes.

Dr. Costantino has developed a product for tissue reengineering called AlloDerm®. Tissue engineering is a hot topic for researchers, and close attention to AlloDerm® is being paid by researchers who are attempting to generate human organs.

Dr. Costantino states that, "many doctors and HMOs are unaware of our reconstructive capability. Instead, they steer their tumor-stricken patients to radiation and chemo, which could be less effective than surgery."
