Today's Jedi is Dr. Jerry Chidester aka “Dr. Chiddy”

Dr. Jerry Chidester, or “Dr. Chiddy,” is a board-certified (American Board of Plastic Surgery) plastic and reconstructive surgeon who also specializes in hand surgery. After spending seven years in Southern California for his plastic surgery and hand fellowship training, he returned to Salt Lake City, Utah to start his own practice and to be closer to family. Since opening Jerry Chidester, MD PLLC in January of 2020, just two months before the pandemic, and then The Plastics Clinic, LLC in 2021, his practice has grown to be one of the busiest and most well-known plastic surgery practices in the country. He attests his rapid growth to his social media presence, along with his unique approach to patient-centered care and consistent surgical results.

He has started other business ventures as well, founding a consulting firm helping other professionals with building their own practices and social media portfolios. He’s co-founded a software company and also created his own post-surgical bra line for patients. He speaks locally, regionally, and nationally on plastic surgery and social media, and is pioneering the way to whole-patient plastic surgery care. His goal has always been to provide a unique, personal, and well-rounded experience for all of his patients. He’s married to Mindee, his high school sweetheart, and father of three children.
