Haworth has been frequently profiled in print media, including Los Angeles Magazine, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, as well as on television. In 1998, Los Angeles magazine nominated him as one of L.A.'s top 8 plastic surgeons, while in 2005, LA Confidential magazine named him as one of the 2 best plastic surgeons in Los Angeles.

Art

Haworth began hand-drawing medical illustrations for medical journal articles in 1981. He was inspired by master medical illustrator Max Broedel of Johns Hopkins University. His illustrations were published in multiple journals, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Annals of Plastic Surgery, Trauma Quarterly, and Hand Clinics.
Haworth's illustrations crossed over into fine art when in August 2000, he had his first solo art show entitled "Memories Lost" at the BGH Gallery/Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, California. The body of work comprised photorealistic drawings of missing children and adults. A more recent series of rendered acrylic paintings was entitled "Iconography" which focused on reflecting modern culture through anachronistic figurative images. This show was staged at The James Gray Gallery in Santa Monica, the Karen Lynne Gallery in Beverly Hills, and Caesarea Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida. Art critic Peter Frank called it 'anti-Pop Realism' stating that his art 'synthesizes classic style with Pop Surrealism.'"
