60 Minutes Features Treatment of Disfigured Iraqi Boy by Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh of Long Island Plastic Surgical Group
On Sunday, March 27, 2011, the award-winning CBS news program 60 Minutes featured renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh of the Garden City-based Long Island Plastic Surgical Group and his recent treatment of a 9-year-old Iraqi boy who was disfigured and maimed by a roadside bomb.
The boy, Waad Baktar, was playfully kicking bottles while walking home from school with friends. One of the bottles turned out to be an improvised explosive device, or roadside bomb, and detonated. Waad was severely burned on his face and tiny body, and he also lost his arm, leg and eye.
Dr. Alizadeh first learned about Waad from Elissa Montanti, founder and director of the Global Medical Relief Fund (GMRF), who will also be featured in the 60 Minutes segment. Montanti heard about the boy from a U.S. soldier in Iraq, and then contacted Dr. Alizadeh for help. Dr. Alizadeh, now a GMRF board member, has been working with Montanti since 2003, when he first offered his services to her charity and rebuilt the face of an Iraqi man who had been shot in the head by a Saddam loyalist for helping American forces in Baghdad. Founded in 1996, GMRF has helped 106 children, by arranging visas, bringing them to the U.S., housing them, and arranging free surgery, treatment and prostheses.
Upon learning about his injuries, Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh offered to treat Waad free of charge on Long Island, performing reconstructive plastic surgery on his face and his foot at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset. “My ultimate goal in treating Waad was to help him appear normal from a conversational distance,” Dr. Alizadeh said. The scarring on Waad’s foot was also severe enough to cause contracture, limiting the little boy’s ability to walk. Dr. Alizadeh surgically removed the scarred tissue and replaced it with a skin graft, enabling the foot to lie flat so Waad can walk more easily.
“He is truly an angel,” Montanti said, citing Dr. Alizadeh’s compassion and generosity. “This is someone who is a hero in my eyes.”
