Personalized Care

Because plastic surgery is such a personal experience, we feel strongly about supporting you with the same team from our office to operating room to recovery. For example, Rachel Sobota is the nurse you will see for your pre-operative appointments and she's who you will see in the operating room and as you recover in the hospital. Our patients often tell us that this unique service made their experience even better than they had hoped for.

By knowing not only what to expect, but who to expect, patients are able to relax more, which can lead to faster recovery times.

Recover in Spa-like Rooms

All of our surgery patients will recover in the spa-like patient rooms on the eighth floor of the award-winning Firstenburg Tower at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center. Each room has expansive windows to let healing light in and take advantage of the restorative views of local mountains and the verdant terrain of southwest Washington and northern Oregon. The thoughtfully designed rooms feature modern amenities such as bedside entertainment consoles and space for overnight guests.
