Philosophy
We would like you to know that taking the time to get to know our patients is of great importance to us. During your initial visit we'll talk about your lifestyle, your needs, your goals and your expectations. We'll also review your medical history and discuss any concerns you may have. In addition, we will carefully explain the procedures we recommend to help you reach your individual goals. We believe that understanding one another is essential to building an effective doctor-patient relationship. Keeping communications open, direct, and honest is important. Over the years we have attempted to offer our patients the latest - and safest - cosmetic surgery techniques. We want each of our patients to feel confident that their comfort and well-being are our foremost priorities - before, during and after their procedures. We look forward to meeting you and explaining in person the ways we can help you achieve your desired results.
