Fort Myers, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/29/2015 --In addition to helping his South Florida patients achieve the looks they desire, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Robert J. Brueck is using his professional skills and religious convictions to benefit the lives of hundreds of children in need in the Dominican Republic. Dr. Brueck has been active in Dominican Republic mission work for nearly two decades and regularly visits the Caribbean nation to serve children at hospitals, schools, and churches.

In his regular humanitarian visits to the Dominican Republic, Dr. Brueck donates his time and professional skills at the Children's Hospital in Santiago, where he does burn reconstruction on children in need. Many children with severe deformities or scarring as a result of burns face a lifetime of pain, hardship, and social shame, but Dr. Brueck is able to provide them with new hope through donated plastic surgery.

In addition to providing cosmetic surgery, Dr. Brueck also assists at the Genesis School, serving children who otherwise cannot attend public school because of the lack of a valid birth certificate or deceased parents. The Genesis School provides food and schooling for these children, and Dr. Brueck was also instrumental in the fundraising for and dedication of an orphanage for the children at the Genesis school two years ago. He has also been involved in the "Home of New Hope," which is a live-in facility for profoundly intellectually disabled or handicapped children and continually supports these children through a sponsorship program.

Additionally, Dr. Brueck's efforts in the Dominican Republic have led to several new churches being built due the faith-based assistance he provides through St. Michael's Lutheran Church.
