"I think there has been a significant change in the way that more and more physicians are not working for themselves but becoming employees of hospitals or hospital systems. I like having more control over my own destiny, so I prefer the private practice way."

With 21 years dedicated to medicine, Dr. McCann is one of the Salt Lake City area's leading experts in the field of Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in this specialty, Dr. McCann said:
"I discovered that what most ophthalmologists do is the cataract and glaucoma surgery. Although I think that’s intriguing, I found it a little repetitive and so I wanted to go into something that had more variety in the kinds of problems that you take care of and that’s how I got involved in plastic surgery. It’s different than ophthalmology because every patient has a unique problem and you have to come up with a unique solution for it, and I found that it gave me a creative outlet."
Today, Dr. McCann specializes in Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, concentrating on cosmetic surgery of the eyelids, midface, lower face, and forehead. He treats disorders that affect the eyelid, orbit, and tear drain system, caring for patients through both cosmetic surgery as well as non-surgical procedures such as Botox and fillers. Now the medical director at the Center For Facial Appearances, Dr. McCann performs both cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries as a private practitioner. He is also the founder of Club Youthful Me, a long-term program for achieving and maintaining youthful facial appearances.
As a thought-leader in his specialty, Dr. McCann keeps his finger on the pulse of prevailing trends in cosmetic surgery. In particular, he notes the decreasing number of private practices both in his field and across other specialties in medicine:
"I think there has been a significant change in the way that more and more physicians are not working for themselves but becoming employees of hospitals or hospital systems. I like having more control over my own destiny, so I prefer the private practice way."
Beyond his practice, Dr. McCann is also a renowned innovator and has developed many cutting-edge medical devices throughout his career, including compressive goggles that are used to significantly reduce post-operative bruising. He is also the Developer, Founder, and CEO of McCann Medical Matrix, an electronic medical record software that is used by doctors all over the country.
