PLEDGE Our pledge is to provide each patient with their best opportunity for improvement with the least possible risk at a reasonable price.
CONSULTATIONS Consultations cost $60 which is subtracted from the cost of surgery. At the beginning of the consultation, after completing the preliminary paper work, the patient talks with Dr. McMahan in his office about the procedures that he or she is interested in. Brochures and consent forms are critically reviewed which discuss details of the procedure(s), risks, and what is done to minimize those risks. Following a detailed examination, a cost analysis is provided along with a list of medications to avoid prior to surgery. A packet of literature is given to each patient.
Top Benefits:
The number one 'top benefit' of our practice is our surgery results. Our greatest source of patients is our previous patients who are thrilled with their outcomes and send in their friends and family with their highest recommendation.
Patients love our 'no-pressure' attitude towards plastic surgery. You will never feel like you are in a used car lot where the salesman is pressuring you to buy something. You will never be offered something that isn't right for you.
We are repeatedly told by patients that our consultations are 'the best!' You start out by meeting with Dr. McMahan discussing what you are interested in and what your concerns are. He will take your medical history, discuss the procedures that you are considering and go over your options, risks and expected results with absolute honesty. After your examination, you will get a written breakdown of the costs and you go home with a packet of information including brochures, consent forms and a list of medications to avoid before surgery. It is a relaxed, honest, no-pressure consultation with plenty of time to ask all of the questions that you have.
Patients love our prices. We are not the most expensive in town by a long shot but we do not try to cheapen out product by trying to undersell everyone else.
