Introduction

It is our goal to provide the best possible care for you and to make your experience with us pleasant and comfortable. In addition to our physicians, we have a dedicated and capable support staff always ready to help in any way possible.

Our group has been in existence for more than 30 years and consists of eight (8) plastic surgeons, all of whom are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which denotes that all have completed a lengthy program of post-graduate studies and have passed a competency examination. Each is assisted by a Registered Nurse.

What We Do

Aesthetic surgery
Aesthetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem.

Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. It is generally performed to improve function, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance.

For more in-depth information on procedures we perform, we do have a wide variety of brochures on aesthetic and reconstructive surgery available in our office. You can also view more in-depth information through our association links located on:

Telephone Calls

Our office staff is available to assist you 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. daily. Emergency calls after hours are explained in the "Emergency Care" section of this site.

Surgery Scheduling

Our Surgery Scheduler can assist you with questions regarding your upcoming surgery. She will explain pre-operative instructions and surgery center locations. If you need to re-schedule or cancel your surgery, we ask that you contact us as soon as possible.

Insurance and Billing

As a courtesy to our patients, we do file insurance claims for reconstructive procedures. Please help us process these claims promptly by bringing your insurance information with you on your first visit.

We accept Medicare assignment and we are members of numerous insurance plans. Refer to your insurance directory listing for participating physicians. If your insurance plan requires a referral form, you must obtain this from your primary care physician and provide it during your first visit with us. You will need to provide us with updates if your policy information changes so that your records can be corrected.

Financial counseling will be provided by our Insurance Coordinator. They will verify the coverage provided by your insurance policies and will estimate for you the amount of payment, due to the surgeon over and above the insurance payments. These estimated expenses are due prior to surgery

.Remember that your health care policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. It is ultimately the patient's responsibility to pay for services provided by The Plastic Surgery Group. If you have any questions about your bill or insurance claim, you may reach our billing staff at each location as follows:

Follow Up Care

It is very important for you to come for all of your post-operative appointments. Your doctor needs to see you even if you are feeling well.

Prescriptions and Refills

Refills should be requested during regular office hours. This is to assure you are given the proper medication and to avoid allergy problems and drug cross-reactions.

Your medical record is strictly private.
