Founded over 20 years ago, Minneapolis Plastic Surgery (MPS) is committed to providing the highest quality, most advanced cosmetic and reconstructive surgical care in the upper Midwest. Both Dr. Tholen and Dr. Gervais are fully trained and Board-certified in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery, bringing a comprehensive surgical background and most up-to-date scientific information to their acknowledged expertise in cosmetic surgery. Our certified, experienced, and caring plastic surgeons have helped thousands of people realize their dreams for a new body image. With a strong commitment to personalized patient care, an outstanding staff, and superb on-site surgical facilities, MPS has distinguished itself in the field of cosmetic surgery. It continues to be a leader in the five-state's largest metropolitan area with 3 accredited in-office operating rooms, full outpatient anesthesia services, the first plastic surgery on-site laser, skin and body care clinics (three metropolitan locations) offering a wide range of services to complement MPS' core cosmetic surgery care, and a personal goal to provide the best cosmetic surgery experience possible to each and every patient.
Dr. Tholen and Dr. Gervais understand that patients have questions about their surgery throughout the process. That's why we give patients personal, individualized, professional attention before, during, and after surgery. Because we understand the importance of privacy for our patients, we provide services in a private, confidential environment. "Our patients can have complete confidence that they are getting the best care possible. We don't forget them once the surgery is completed."
Most cosmetic surgery procedures are performed at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery's free-standing, state-of-the-art, office surgical center at the main office in Golden Valley, Minnesota. The clinic's main facility includes three fully-equipped operating rooms, complete anesthesia care, treatment and minor procedure room, individual preparation and recovery areas, aesthetic suites, post-operative massage therapy, aesthetic area, and on-site surgical and cosmetic laser services. Post-operative patients can utilize a separate, private waiting area, and a separate exit can be used by patients after their surgery. The facility is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), and is evaluated annually to ensure that it meets accreditation standards. Operative procedures requiring overnight or inpatient care are performed at one of several hospitals where MPS's plastic surgeons have full surgical privileges.
A Twin Cities native, Dr. Douglas Gervais joined Minneapolis Plastic Surgery in 1996. Dr. Gervais is fully trained in all aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Throughout his education he has excelled in cosmetic surgery, and has obtained advanced specialized training in body contouring, laser surgery, and breast surgery.
