       HONORING THE CAREER AND SERVICE OF DR. KULWANT S. BHANGOO

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 10, 2014

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a respected member of 
my Western New York community, Dr. Kulwant S. Bhangoo.
  Dr. Bhangoo is a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery and 
has a practice in Buffalo, New York. He has earned an undergraduate 
degree from the University of Cambridge and his medical degree from the 
University of East Africa, where he won the Mulgibhai Madhavani 
recognition which is awarded to the best student of the year. He 
completed his surgical training in England before coming to the Mercy 
Hospital of Buffalo to complete his residency in plastic surgery.
  He has continued his distinguished academic record in Buffalo, where 
he has been published on subjects including wound healing and scar 
tissue and is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at the 
University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
  The history of Western New York is the story of immigrants who have 
brought their experience, training and drive to enrich our community, 
and Dr. Bhangoo's story is no different. Yet he has remained engaged 
with his native India. He travels often to conduct workshops and 
training for surgeons in India and has been recognized for his good 
work with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Association of 
Aesthetic Surgeons of India.
  Through his hard work and generous spirit Dr. Bhangoo has changed the 
lives of patients and enriched the careers of surgeons on four 
continents. We are proud to have him in our community and look forward 
to many years of his continued service in Western New York.
