Overview of practice:
As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, I perform cosmetic plastic surgery procedures including breast augmentation and body contouring (such as tummy tuck, and liposuction), Smartlipo-MPX™ (minimally-invasive, laser-assisted body sculpting), as well as non- invasive procedures such as Botox®, facial fillers, laser rejuvenation and laser hair removal. In my practice, I see patients who are looking for subtle rejuvenating treatments as well as those who are looking to change their body contours. I enjoy working closely with each patient to design a personalized plan. In addition to cosmetic procedures it gives me great satisfaction to help patients who require reconstructive surgery, whether after breast cancer or following a traumatic accident or injury. I find it truly rewarding to practice medicine in a field that has such a positive impact and where I can help people in so many ways.
How do you stay current with new advances in your field?
As a member of the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), I regularly attend national conferences as well as local meetings. In addition, I thoroughly enjoy reading books and journal articles about the latest techniques and developments within the field of plastic surgery. I always welcome opportunities to research and learn about new technology and products.
How has your specialty changed over the last decade?
Significant change has been the story of plastic surgery over the last decade. From new advances in technology such as Smartlipo™ and laser treatments to the introduction of injectables such as Botox® and dermal fillers, the landscape of plastic surgery has changed dramatically. These new advances have opened up plastic surgery to a whole new group of patients who prefer to go the route of less invasive non-surgical procedures. Additionally, less costly non-surgical alternatives have opened the door to many patients who previously thought that plastic surgery was too expensive, especially considering the current economic climate.
Are there any programs your practice is offering to help patients hurt by the economy?
The economy has had an effect on everyone. While media reports have indicated that the economy is now heading in the right direction, the reality is that many people are considering delaying purchases they consider to be “luxury items.” Some patients jokingly refer to their treatments as “necessities.” For many people, however, getting a surgical procedure that they have always wanted may seem out of reach. We are pleased to offer CareCredit® to our patients as a way to finance procedures they would prefer to have sooner, rather than later. We work directly with CareCredit® and have been successful in helping patients open accounts. CareCredit® offers a variety of plans including the very popular shorter term “no-interest” plans. Additionally, we regularly share information with our patients via our website and emails about manufacturers’ rebates from companies who make products such as Botox®, Juvederm™, Latisse® and Dysport®. We know that patients appreciate saving money whenever possible.
What would a referral say about your practice?
I am personally dedicated, as is each member of our staff, to making patients feel welcome and comfortable. Attention to detail is paramount to us and we have worked hard to create a warm and relaxing environment. Our patients regularly refer friends and we sincerely appreciate the confidence they have in me and our staff. We love the feedback from patients we receive during (and after) they have been in my care. Recently, we were told by a patient who was healed after reconstructive surgery, “We’re going to miss you…we love coming here.”
