Dr. Scott Spiro
The Artist
Dr. Spiro studied art as a second major while preparing for a career in medicine and surgery. He illustrated many medical journal articles, chapters in books, and pamphlets for patient resource information for national societies.
He was acclaimed as a national winner for surgeon artist in 1994 (the only year he entered!). He was one of the main artists in a show at APEX ART in NYC in 2008 that won acclaim in “I am ART” Plastic Surgery as Art which was reviewed by the NY Times.
Recently, Dr. Spiro was given a coveted commission for Art Basel Miami 2018, in Wynwood Miami Florida, where he painted a 32’ x 14’ foot mural which stood for one year in the heart of Wynwood.
Every patient walking through his office is treated to a gallery of reproductions of many of his pieces in oil, graphite, and photography.
