Practical information
Cosmetic surgery is generally not covered by insurance. Surgical fees are quoted in writing after your consultation.
Elective cosmetic procedures are self-pay. Reconstructive procedures may be reviewed individually; the practice can help you understand what documentation your insurer requires.
The team
A small team, chosen so that the person who greets you is the same person who calls to check on you.
Registered Nurse · Customised Skin Care
Born and raised in Norwalk, Louisa returned to school for her nursing degree after years caring for a child with advanced medical needs. She specializes in cosmetic surgery nursing and customised skin care, and is known for her attention to detail and compassionate, whole-person care.
Patient Care Coordinator
The first person you meet in the office, Oksana keeps you on track with appointments, gets your questions answered promptly, and makes sure your documents are in order. Getting to know every patient is her favorite part of the job.
Patient Care Specialist
Cinzia is your patient coordinator for all things non-surgical, guiding you through skin care and non-surgical treatment options and making sure every visit is smooth from scheduling through follow-up.
Practice Manager
Lia oversees the day-to-day of the practice, coordinating scheduling and surgical planning so each patient’s experience stays smooth from the first call through the final follow-up.
