Meet Dr. Keagle

Dr. Keagle's connection to Southern California began in Chicago, where she met her husband, a Los Angeles native, and earned her undergraduate and medical degrees at Northwestern University.

From there, she began ten years of postgraduate training, including residencies in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery, at the prestigious University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

While at UCSF, she also studied the basic science and biology behind scar and wound healing in a two-year research fellowship funded by the National Institutes of Health.

The scene then changed to Westwood, where she was selected for the Craniofacial fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The UCLA fellowship gives her an uncommon advantage in working on the face, along with precise knowledge of how facial appearance is affected by surgical procedures.

Working under the tutelage of Dr. Henry Kawamoto, she was only the third woman among more than two-dozen fellows in the program’s history to gain this intensive training and experience operating on the facial bones, soft tissue and skin.

Most recently, Dr. Keagle was an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington in Seattle, where she performed surgeries, taught fellows, residents and medical students, and received a Seattle Children’s Hospital grant for basic science research.

She and her family moved back to Southern California in 2008 to be closer to family.

As a working mother of two, Dr. Keagle understands the needs of professional parents and is eager to spend time with you to listen to your goals, understand your desires and customize your surgical plan. She also appreciates the demands on your time and believes that returning to your everyday life requires attention to detail.

Today, she splits her practice between cosmetic surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital and the Craniofacial and Cleft Palate Clinic at Orthopaedic Hospital, where she performs face and jaw surgeries on children with cleft lip and palate and other congenital deformities.
