Vision
To provide hope and compassionate healing to the survivors we meet.
Mission
The Victims of Violence Foundation believes that surgical and therapeutic treatment can provide a healing touch to the soul that impacts the health and well-being of people recovering from traumatic situations. Often, people carry the physical scars of abuse and violence that become daily reminders of trauma that prevents a peaceful recovery. Healing treatments can make a difference in how quickly the person recovers, regaining strength and self-esteem.
Our mission is to bring compassionate care and healing to victims suffering from painful physical injuries or disfigurements caused by violence or abuse, by providing reconstructive treatment that provides both physical and emotional healing, alleviates suffering, and improves the quality of life of survivors with their greatest financial and health care needs.
To bring healing to the lives of as many of these survivors as we can is a privilege for us. We are very excited about the potential of helping people uncover their inner strength and beauty, and we look forward to expanding with treatments throughout the community.

Dr. Chernoff’s Personal Mission
Dr. Chernoff has first-hand experience of the physical and psychological damage caused by violence, abuse, injury, illness, or disfigurement. As a result of this experience, Dr. Chernoff connects with victims and has made it his personal mission to help victims heal their physical wounds. He believes that by helping heal the physical wounds, victims’ emotional healing can begin.
Using cosmetic reconstructive surgery, laser, and scar therapy, Dr. Chernoff helps heal the physical signs of injury and disfigurement.
“We have the privilege of helping men, women, and children who have injuries, physical scars, or non-healing wounds as a result of violent acts, abuse, injury, illness, or birth defect. Our foundation works with non-profit organizations as well as Law Enforcement agencies.”
These organizations refer victims to our center for care or contact Dr. Chernoff directly if emergency surgery is required.
Dr. Chernoff has extensive experience and expertise treating non-healing wounds, injuries, fractured facial bones and scars of all levels of severity using a series of therapies. These therapies range from minimally to moderately invasive lasers, injectable cellular therapy, stem cell therapy, and reconstructive surgery or surgical revision.
