He received his medical degree at the Medical College of Virginia at VCU, where he graduated at the top of his class. His integrated residency training in plastic and reconstructive surgery was completed at the University of Missouri–Columbia, where he finished with over 3,400 individual cases — more than double the minimum required to graduate.

Dr. Chumble is a board-eligible plastic surgeon who enjoys the broad scope of cases plastic surgery has to offer. His research contributions have included studies identifying the causes of complications in breast reconstruction, techniques to minimize blood loss in pediatric plastic surgery, and care-delivery quality improvement; as an undergraduate he studied epigenetic control of developing zebrafish embryos. Aside from his academic interests, Dr. Chumble emphasizes kindness, patience, and shared decision making, and believes in empowering patients to make informed choices about their own bodies and health.
Outside of the office, Dr. Chumble enjoys hiking, fishing, flying small aircraft, and clay target sports, and is passionate about wildlife protection and the environment. He and his wife spend their breaks cooking, traveling, and experiencing new cultures.
