The youngest of five children, Dr. Bob Caridi comes from humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York, where he enjoyed playing street hockey and fishing off Sheepshead Bay. At the young age of 13, Dr. Bob lost his father and his carefree childhood. He quickly matured into a responsible and dependable man who understands the importance of living life to its fullest. Dr. Caridi married his wife and Wisconsin native, Dana, in 1990 on ABC's "Good Morning America." The popular morning show chose Dana and Bob to follow through the trials and tribulations of the wedding process. Bob and Dana were the first couple to be involved in (what has now become a national obsession) called Reality TV. Good Morning America continues to broadcast updates on their original couple and their prototype American family. After completing his residency at New York's prestigious Mount Sinai Hospital, Dr. Caridi practiced in the Chicago area for eight years in a group practice before relocating to Austin in 2000. Dr. Caridi states, "I felt personally and professionally limited in a group practice. My wife and I love Austin, its milder climate, and outdoor activities-so we decided to relocate our family and established Westlake Plastic Surgery." The Caridi family resides in Westlake where their two high school age daughters attend the Eanes School District. They enjoy boating, swimming, kayaking, bike riding, snow skiing, traveling and their three Chinese Crested dogs. Dr. Caridi is physically active. Being a plastic surgeon can be mentally and physically exhausting, therefore, Dr. Bob exercises regularly to be at the top of his game. He also enjoys yard work and gardening, as well as nature photography.
