Dr. Brian Blumenauer is a third generation native Floridian who was born and raised in central Florida. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Florida and this is where he met his wife, Natalie. His interest in medicine and desire to become a surgeon led him to Florida State University for medical school.

Upon completion of medical school, Brian couples-matched with his wife and was selected to complete his residency as a general surgeon at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. This program offered training at one the busiest trauma centers while situated in the largest medical center in the country, the Texas Medical Center. Under the guidance of some of the best, most recognized surgeons in the country at both the University of Texas and MD Anderson, Brian formed the foundation of his surgical abilities. His training and love of surgery guided him towards the idea of becoming a true surgeon’s surgeon; a plastic surgeon.

Through relentless hard work, outstanding clinical performance and research, Brian was accepted as a fellow to the highly sought-after Vanderbilt University plastic surgery program. His fellowship consisted of 3 years of perfecting the art of plastic and reconstructive surgery while under the tutelage of some of the most respected plastic surgeons in the field.

Following the completion of his plastic surgery fellowship, Brian has returned home to Florida. Since meeting his wife back during his days at the University of Florida, Brian has been visiting her hometown of Stuart, Florida any chance he can get. He fell in love with Stuart the first time he visited. “I knew right away this was the place I wanted to return to and raise a family.” Speaking of family, Brian and his wife Natalie, an emergency medicine physician, are proud parents of three boys.

In his free time, Dr. Blumenauer is a proud husband and father who loves spending time with his family. The Blumenauer family loves being on the water or spending the day relaxing at the beach. Of note, Brian is an avid fisherman who loves the fishery Stuart offers.  If not with his family or out fishing, Brian can be found on the golf course working on his short game.
