DR. JESSICA LATTMAN & DR. DAVID ROSENBERGDr. David Rosenberg is a board certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeonrenowned for his mastery of facial aesthetic surgery. Over the past decade Dr. Rosenberghas gained an international reputation for performing cosmetic facial operations thatmeld surgery and artistry. Patients routinely travel from around the globe in pursuit of hisbeautiful and natural results.

His surgical training included a fellowship sponsored by the American Academy ofFacial Plastic Surgery, a residency in Otolaryngology at Manhattan Eye, Ear and ThroatHospital under the leadership of Chairman, Simon C. Parisier, MD and General Surgery atLenox Hill Hospital. He received his Medical Degree from Cornell University MedicalCollege after earning his undergraduate degree from Cornell University.

One of the foremost cosmetic surgeons in the world, Dr. Rosenberg's surgical techniquesand modern aesthetic continuously garner attention in the press and at nationalconferences. He has been featured in Forbes, Vogue, French Elle, Tattler, New York Mag-azine, and The New York Times.

Dr. Jessica Lattman is a board certified ophthalmologist and fellowship trained oculoplasticsurgeon. She expertly addresses both the cosmetic and reconstructive aspects of the eyelids.During her 15 years in private practice, she has developed advanced and innovative surgicaltechniques that allow her to provide her patients with natural and long lasting surgicalresults, with rapid recovery times. She is particularly known for her mastery of complicatedcosmetic and reconstructive eyelid issues.

Dr. Lattman completed her residency training at Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospitaland then went on to an advanced fellowship in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructivesurgery. She graduated with honors from Cornell University and received her medicaldegree from New York University.

In addition to private practice, Dr. Lattman is a Clinical AssistantProfessor at New York University where she supervises andteaches residents. Dr. Lattman has authored textbook chaptersand numerous scientific articles in the field ofophthalmic plastic surgery and ophthalmology.She has been featured in Vogue and NewBeauty Magazine.

Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Lattman share athriving private practice on the UpperEast Side of Manhattan. They are marriedand live in Westchester with their threechildren.

ELAINE AND SIMON C. PARISIER, MDWhen Dr. Simon C. Parisier, a world renowned Otologist, began his career in 1966, his goalswere fairly straight forward – to help individuals with ear problems. In the 1970’s his privatepractice consisted of patients who had diseases of the ear, dizzy patients and many deafadults and children. The treatment of ear diseases took his surgical expertise to the highestlevel. The dizzy patients were treated with both surgical and rehabilitative approaches. Butthe profoundly deaf adults and children left him frustrated and powerless. Their optionswere to use sign language or read lips. In an effort to offer these patients a better alternative,he embarked on an approach that, at the time, was both controversial and risky.

Dr. Parisier’s most significant accomplishment was his visionary exploration of cochlearimplant technology with the goal of eliminating deafness. In 1979, he began his groundbreaking work using this device, which is surgically placed in the cochlea to restore hear-ing to deaf individuals. Dr. Parisier and his wife Elaine recognized that this revolutionary,surgical intervention could not, in and of itself, ensure a young deaf child’s ability todevelop the hearing, speech, language, and learning skills that are necessary to attaineducational success. And so, together they founded The Children’s Hearing Institute in1983. The Institute’s mission would be to fund research into the efficacy of the cochlearimplant as well as fund the critical educational and clinical services essential for a cochlearimplant child’s development of language and educational achievements.

It was 30 years ago when Elaine, the Institute’s first Executive Director, had the foresightto recruit an admirable, philanthropic, committed Board of Directors to help achieve itsmission. Under her dedication and leadership, the Institute has raised millions to supportpioneering research as well as medical, educational, and therapeutic innovations thathave improved the lives of children with hearing loss. Over the past three decades, it wasElaine’s compassion, mentoring, and continued guidance that has createdThe Children’s Hearing Institute we celebrate today.

Dr. Parisier will be retiring from private practice in May. However,he will continue to teach, sharing his vast knowledge and experiencewith the ENT residency program. Dedicated to TheChildren’s Hearing Institute, both Dr. Parisier and Elainewill continue to remain active in its programs.

In celebration of 30 years of service and the countlesslives Elaine and Simon Parisier have changed for thebetter, CHI is proud to acknowledge and honor theirvision, commitment and dedication to humanity withthe Lifetime Achievement Award.
