My staff is made up of highly trained professionals who have mutual respect, admiration, compassion and confidence. This is extremely important to patients who seek to make changes in their appearance and ultimately, their lives. My competent and caring nurses treat patients as though they were family. The members of my staff are licensed and accredited and belong to their own professional associations.

Almost all plastic surgical procedures are now done on an outpatient basis, usually in a portion of my office which has been constructed as an outpatient surgical facility. Most patients prefer to have their procedures performed in this familiar, comfortable setting. This is not only less threatening than a hospital, but also more convenient, private, confidential and even more economical than other facilities.The entire office and outpatient surgical facility are annually inspected and accredited by The American Association for the Accredation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities, insuring patient comfort and safety. Anesthesia is provided by a board certified anesthesiologist. Arrangements have been made for patient transport to nearby hospitals (which are only minutes away) in the case of an emergency requiring hospital care.

Certain procedures and special circumstances require surgery to be performed in another outpatient surgical facility or hospital setting. In these cases, the facility most convenient to, or desired by the patient is selected. I am on the staff of, and enjoy full admitting and operating privileges at the following hospitals and facilities:

• Good Samaritan Hospital
• Maricopa Medical Center
• Phoenix Children's Hospital
• Scottsdale Memorial Hospital - Osborn
• Scottsdale Memorial Hospital - Shea
• St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center
• Biltmore Outpatient Surgical Center
• Surgical Recovery Center
• Surgicenter
