Practice Philosophy

Danville, CAMy practice philosophy is rooted in the tradition of the Hippocratic Oath (Primum Non Nocere – First Do No Harm) and tempered in the sincere belief that optimal results and outcomes are obtained when well-informed and knowledgeable patients actively participate in a conscientious and mutually agreed upon surgical plan which is then deftly performed and carefully managed throughout the post-operative recovery period. Consultations are conducted with an emphasis on retaining or restoring function and form realizing that truly optimal outcomes achieve balance and symmetry while always recognizing nuances of individual proportion and body type. Whether it is cosmetic enhancement or restoration of function and form following injury or prior surgery, treatment begins with a detailed personal interview and physical examination. After reviewing all pertinent records including lab tests, prior photographs, and scans, a detailed plan of management is presented to the patient and their family.
