Dr. Dan Knight
Dr. Dan Knight was raised in Shreveport, the son of a prominent general surgeon with 3 brothers (all of whom became surgeons). He attended local schools and then received his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. in 1979. He attended medical school at LSU in Shreveport, receiving his M.D. degree in 1983. After a 5 year residency at LSU Shreveport, Dr. Knight completed a residency in Plastic Surgery at LSU in New Orleans in 1990, followed by a fellowship in cosmetic and hand surgery in Phoenix, Az. He started his private practice in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 1991 at Highland Clinic in Shreveport.
Dr. Knight’s early practice was weighted in reconstructive surgery. During this time Dr. Knight performed the first fibular free flap jaw reconstruction in the area, as well as the area’s first toe to thumb transplant procedure with his hand surgeon brother. In 2003 Dr. Knight started Highland Clinic Surgery Center, the first surgery center in Shreveport devoted solely to plastic surgery.
In 2014 Dr. Knight left Highland Clinic and built Spring Lake Surgery Center, leaving in 2019 to start a new practice, Knight Plastic Surgery, in preparation for being part of a joint venture between Christus Health and the Outpatient Surgery Center at the Villages of Bert Kouns. In 2020 Dr. Knight will do all of his outpatient surgery at the Outpatient Surgery Center while continuing to do his hospital cases at Christus Highland Hospital. In recent years Dr. Knight’s practice has had a heavy emphasis on breast surgery and body contouring with a special interest in breast implant problems and body contouring after massive weight loss.
Dr. Knight’s reputation has brought the opportunity to take care of not only patients in the Shreveport/Bossier area and Ark-La-Tex, but all across the country from New York to California. Although Dr. Knight has had the privilege of taking care of high profile patients such as A-list actresses and Playboy models, the location of his practice has allowed patients from all walks of life to be able to receive the highest quality surgery in a state of the art facility at affordable prices.
Dr. Knight is looking forward to offering the same level of care and service to his new practice, ELF Aesthetics. Focusing on aesthetic and wellness services for the Shreveport, LA area and beyond.
