The Impact of Communication & Transparency In Plastic Surgery

What are we really looking for when selecting a professional like a plastic surgeon to perform a cosmetic procedure? Expertise and credentials are essential. As are years of relevant experience. But one thing that doesn’t get discussed enough in my opinion is a plastic surgeon’s willingness and ability to clearly communicate through every step of the plastic surgery process. Today, I wanted to get into more detail on the difference that this commitment can have on a patient’s plastic surgery experience:

“No surprises.” This is a philosophy that I have long believed is critical when trying to deliver the most satisfactory and enriching plastic surgery journey possible for my patients. And one of the most critical ways to ensure that there are no unwanted surprises is to be as thorough and forthcoming as possible, beginning during the plastic surgery consultation appointment. This includes discussing the possible procedure options at length, using visual aids like photos to depict a range of potential results, and making sure that no questions or concerns regarding the patient’s chosen procedure are left unanswered.

I was happy to provide the following plastic surgery testimonial from one of my patients, which I think well illustrates how my team and I prioritize clear communication with our patients and the impact this can have on their overall experience:

“Dr. LeRoy was excellent at listening to what my expectations were, and he explained what he thought was the best approach. He made me feel very comfortable about the procedure and was right on target about the healing process. I am extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend Dr LeRoy to anyone that wants an honest and superior surgeon! He by far exceeded my vision for my outcome! Just Awesome!”

My staff and I take great pride in being there for our patients and establishing real bonds with them that last over time.
