Joseph Rucker, MD, FACS - Applies Consultation Fee Toward Surgery!
Choosing a Plastic Surgeon is an extremely important decision. It is critical that both your surgeon and his staff are both talented and personalble. Our aim is to focus on the delivery of individualized plastic surgery services that result in a natural appearing result in a relaxing and friendly environment.
The decision to change and enhance your appearance can contribute to an expanded active lifestyle and a more vibrant and positive outlook on life.
A discovery of the priorities for the consultation are established. Second a detailed examination. And finally options (conservative,medium,aggressive)are outlined. Lastly a plan is developed to meet the goals of each patient.
When my husband came home today he told me my face looked beautiful. He said it had a differant look to it. I asked him like what. He remarked it had a clearness to it more than he has seen before. I stopped at my daughter's home on my way home and she also said the same thing. It looked so fresh and clean.
I want to thank you for the time you take and I feel you treat me special even knowing you are that way with all your clients. You are truly a professional and can tell you love and care about your remarkable results.
-Thank-you once again, Marilyn F.
I view my work as an art form of subtlety and harmony with a respect and appreciation for natural beauty. That is why I believe that reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery, and non-surgical alternatives are important choices that can improve the overall quality of your life. When reconstruction is the goal, I strive to restore both function and appearance. When the goal is cosmetic improvement, I strive to help patients achieve their desired results by enhancing their own natural beauty. In both situations, my goal is to avoid the bold or extravagant changes that can yield an "operated-on" appearance.
Myself and my staff offer you a small office setting. Not a large inhospitable clinic environment that tends to produce results with a cookie cutter approach to plastic surgery. We also feel that not all patients require a surgical approach. Many patients can achieve the results they desire with non-invasive options through our Medispa. Your inquiries are welcome..
