Dr. Kure was formerly trained in neuroscience in New York prior to the plastic surgery training, and he became board-certified in neuropathology (USA) and board-eligible in neurosurgery (USA). Because of such background, Dr. Kure also sees patients suffering from migraine headaches and stiff shoulder. He has been treating these patients with Botox.
Overall, Dr. Kure spent 18 years in the USA and more than 13 years in Japan in the residency training, research, and medical practice.
