Meet The Staff
Once you decide to consult with Dr. Salzman our Front Desk Coordinator, Tara, will work with you to find the earliest available consultation that fits your schedule. Tara will also be the one who will greet you when you first arrive to our office. If you have any questions or concerns about your consultation appointment just ask Tara and she will see that everything is taken care of.
Once you are checked in, one of our friendly staff members will accompany you to the consultation room where we will go over your goals and past medical history. After meeting with Dr. Salzman, computer imaging photos will be taken so you may discuss the procedures of interest in detail. The computer imaging is also used to help you visualize what changes can be made.
Once you have decided which procedure is best for you, Melissa, our Patient Care Coordinator, will help you put a plan in motion. Here you will review before and after photos, receive exact pricing and can choose your procedure date. Melissa can answer any of your questions, and is always available to help arrange all aspects of your surgical experience including financing options.
Before your procedure, you will come to our office to see our Plastic Surgery Nurse, Kim, for your pre-operative appointment. Kim, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgical Nurses, adds an additional level of value to our office with her vast experience in surgical care. During your appointment with Kim you will have an informal opportunity to learn much about your upcoming procedure. During this appointment you will go over all related surgical paperwork, consents, prescriptions, etc. If you are having a breast augmentation you will be sized for implants and if you are having liposuction or a tummy tuck you will be sized for a compression garment that is worn after surgery. Kim also spends time reviewing all aspects of the surgery and what to expect during your post-operative recovery period.
When you arrive at the surgery site for your procedure, Susan will take care of all your surgical needs. Susan has worked with Dr. Salzman since early 1993 as his Surgical Care Coordinator and assists him during surgery. With Susan in charge of your surgical care, all you have to do is relax, fall asleep, and you will wake up renewed.
