Our focus in cosmetic surgery is dedicated to the fine art of achieving beautiful and natural appearing aesthetic results in the safest possible environment and with the greatest attention to personalized caring. We believe every patient is unique and requires a personalized plan to achieve their goals. This requires understanding on the part of patient and surgeon, mutual agreement on the goals and personal trust. We believe in the relentless pursuit of perfection and see no substitute for trying to obtain it in all that we do. We want our patients to feel welcome in our office and establish long term relationships for their needs. Lastly we can not over emphasize the important nature of the artistic component of cosmetic surgery, it is, above all else the defining feature of this type of work. We hope to have the opportunity to discuss your particular wishes and goals in the near future.
Sincerely,
Paul Vitenas, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S.
