Philosophy
My own philosophy is simple. I believe in educating my patients regarding their best treatment options while being sensitive to their individual needs and priorities. I emphasize a natural appearing result and achieve it with the patient's safety as my highest priority.
Cosmetic surgery today offers many choices, some of which can be very confusing to a prospective patient. I strongly believe in helping my patients understand what to expect, both in terms of their surgery and recovery as well as the alternatives available. New technologies can offer real advantages, but can also be misused as "marketing tools," to the patient's detriment. My goal is to offer my best advice and skills so that my patients can look forward to successful and pleasing results.
