Team BiosMarotta Plastic Surgery Specialists

Kenneth J. Ruiz, PA-C is a board-certified physician associate with a passion for using his surgical experience and keen aesthetic eye to deliver life-enhancing treatment results. He earned his degree in Physician Assistant Studies from Touro College and trained at some of New York’s most prestigious medical institutions, including NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, NYU Langone, and St. Francis Hospital. During this time, he developed an intimate knowledge of anatomy, assessment, and technical precision through years of clinical experience and first-assisting in surgical cases.

PA Ken specializes in advanced aesthetic treatments with a focus on cosmetic injectables that offer natural, artistic results that enhance facial balance and restore youthful harmony. Guided by the philosophy that “injectables don’t need to be loud,” his approach emphasizes subtle refinements—softening transitions, reducing shadows, restoring structure, and improving symmetry—to create refreshed, cohesive, and beautifully understated outcomes.

Widely respected in the aesthetics community, PA Ken serves as a national trainer for the Allergan Medical Institute®, where he advances clinical excellence by educating fellow providers through hands-on training and evidence-based aesthetic techniques.

PA Ken’s commitment to excellence and artistry has earned him top industry accolades, including Long Island Beauty Awards for Best Overall Injector and Best Natural Facial Sculpting Injector.

He is an active member of both the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) and the Association of Plastic Surgery Physician Assistants (APSPA).
