-Patient C, (contact us for more Patient Testimonials)
Stratis-Gayner Plastic Surgery is the first practice in the state and one of a relative handful in the country to have implemented the cutting-edge practice of having one plastic surgeon specializing in the body and the other specializing in facial work. Dr. John Stratis, a board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in the body, while Dr. Scott Gayner, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializes in the face. Being focused on a particular aspect of the anatomy as we are provides a number of significant patient benefits. In fact, it was these patient benefits that led us to pursue our unique configuration. With one face specialist and one body specialist, we truly are “Focused for You.”
BENEFITS of FOCUSING The benefits to the patient of having one plastic surgeon focused on the face and one plastic surgeon focused on the body can be profound. And they are unique to Stratis-Gayner Plastic Surgery.
BENEFIT: Depth of knowledge Plastic Surgery is one of the most rapidly changing fields in medicine today. New devices, procedures and drugs are announced each week. With Dr. Stratis focused on body procedures and Dr. Gayner focused on facial procedures, each of them can stay up to date on the latest developments in his respective discipline. With every learning opportunity from seminars to medical journals focused on their subspecialty, their expertise in their area of focus continues to grow. The result? Stratis-Gayner’s patients are assured that their physician is fluent in the leading-edge developments as well as the latest techniques that impact the patient’s treatment.
BENEFIT: Simultaneous procedures It’s not that unusual for a patient’s surgical plan to include both a facial procedure and a body procedure. In the conventional plastic surgery practice, the generalist plastic surgeon will perform both operations on the same day, one after the other. Dr. Stratis and Dr. Gayner can work on a patient simultaneously, typically cutting the time for surgery by half. With the simultaneous operation, the patient is under anesthesia for less time, minimizing recovery time and risk. Since the doctors are also working for less time—four hours instead of eight, for example, doctor fatigue is reduced. And because the facility and staff are needed for less time, there can be cost savings as well when performing procedures simultaneously.
BENEFIT: Cross-consultation Cross-consultation is another benefit unique to Stratis-Gayner Plastic Surgery. Typically the patient will come with a concern related to either body or face. But sometimes during the consultation, the patient expresses interest in additional work on another part of the body. When the other specialist is needed, they are available as an in-house referral and the doctors will work together collaboratively on the patient’s case.
For example, suppose a patient comes in to see Dr. Stratis, say for body contouring using the LipoSelection process. In the process of their conversation, it becomes clear that the patient has an interest as well in finding out about rhinoplasty—surgery of the nose. Dr. Gayner will be brought in to consult on the rhinoplasty. The patient gets the benefits of the depth of both doctors’ specialized expertise.
Consultations For certain procedures, a free consultation with our staff is offered. This consultation will be performed by either a nurse or a registered medical assistant, and is designed to help you understand what can be achieved through your procedure and to help you create realistic goals.
During your free consultation, the staff person may review before and after photographs with you in order to create a better focus towards the proposed results. By the time you come in for a full consultation with Dr. Stratis or Dr. Gayner, you'll have a good understanding of your procedure(s) and what you can expect.
