  • 2006—philanthropic mission to Honduras with fellow Mt. Sinai Medical Center faculty and medical students. Performed plastic surgery on burn patients as well as those who suffered from scar contractures.

"Dr. Sterry is amazing. He performed a lower body lift on Nov. 14, 2005 and I am thrilled with the result. He will be doing a breast/arm lift on Feb. 3. I interviewed several of the top plastic surgeons in New York City when I decided to begin my plastics and there was NO comparison when it came to Dr. Sterry."
