GET TO KNOW US
Haruko Okada, MD
PHYSICIAN & PRACTICE OWNER
Dr. Haruko Okada is a board-certified plastic surgeon and hand surgeon. She is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with additional Subspecialty Certificate in Surgery of the Hand.
Dr. Okada graduated from Brown University and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha national medical honor society. She completed a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, under the tutelage of world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Bahman Guyuron. Following residency, she pursued additional training at the University of Connecticut Combined Hand Surgery Fellowship under Dr. Kirk Watson.
Dr. Okada created Stratus Plastic Surgery for patients seeking safe, natural and aesthetic results. She credits her interest in people’s diversity to an international upbringing in the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom. One of her greatest accomplishments was creating a successful gender affirmation surgery practice in a hospital setting. She continues and refines this goal in private practice, elevating the patient experience.

PRACTICE ETHOS
We exist to provide personal and compassionate care to individuals seeking to align their outsides with the way they feel inside.
We believe that a confident self-image is foundational to living authentically, and we are honored to help patients live their best lives through the services we provide.
For plastic surgery and aesthetic patients, we pride ourselves on offering understanding and care that is unmatched in our industry, where each patient is seen as an individual and treated as a whole person rather than a procedure.
For our gender affirmation patients, we are proud to provide trans-competent, medically necessary treatment for gender dysphoria, while simultaneously offering empathy, understanding and support. Our goal for these procedures is natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing results.
For hand surgery patients, we strive to restore function and mobility, along with quality of life.
