Her dedication to improving plastic surgery techniques reflects the same commitment of the surgeons at The Wall Center to consistently pursue advances that will improve outcomes for our patients. Her interest in research has led Dr. Kugar to publish numerous papers on improving patient safety and surgical outcomes.

Her skill, empathy, and passion for teaching were recognized with multiple awards, including the Kaiser Permanente Excellence in Teaching Award and the Cefalo House Officer Award.

Dr. Kugar graduated from the University of Notre Dame, where her commitment to community service earned her the prestigious Kellogg Internship and the opportunity to support clinical outreach in Peru. She earned her medical degree from the Indiana University School of Medicine.
