I have been thinking about __________ for the last ten years but just haven’t had the time/money to do anything about it. Besides, where do I begin the process?
When we decide we want to purchase something, what is the first thing to do? Research! We read reviews, talk to our friends, Google the topic, and look for availability in a familiar location. We weigh the pros and cons, we price things out, and we discuss everything about it with our friends and loved ones. This is exactly the same process that patients should use for a cosmetic procedure.
We encourage you to do all the above and even set up some consultations with a few surgeons. It is so important to meet the office staff, see the office, and get a feel of the people who will be involved with your care. Review credentials, ensure they’re board certified in plastic surgery, and find out how often they perform the surgery you are interested in.
Can they answer all your questions?
Do they treat you with respect?
Do you feel like your concerns will be managed promptly?
Remember to trust yourself and recognize that you will need a certain level of comfort to navigate this process and the time it takes to achieve your results.
Dr. Antimarino believes patient care is all about education and connecting with a patient, so their expectations and results are the same. He is committed to providing the best experience to each patient and helping them to understand and recognize each step of their journey. His patients know he is always just a phone call away.
If you’re considering a procedure, we encourage you to visit our website’s resources, like our surgeon’s checklist, pre-surgery checklist, patient reviews, and learn more about our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Antimarino.
