Trust, as defined at www.dictionary.com is …–noun 1. Reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.
2. Confident expectation of something; hope. That “Hope” and “confident expectation” not only helped President-Elect Barack Obama to the White House , but also is an essential characteristic to look for and feel when choosing your physician.
I actually just finished a Fraxel re:pair (fractionated CO2 laser) of a patient’s face and neck. She said that the process was so much easier for her because she trusted me (she’s been my patient for 20 years). Over the 23 years of practicing facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, I have found that patient’s procedures and recoveries, and ultimately their results turn out better when they have trust in their treating physician.
I can’t promise and guarantee your results, but I can promise that I will do the best that can be done, the best that I can do, while keeping you as safe and comfortable as possible. Also I look for a long term relationship with my patients to keep them looking and feeling as youthful and healthy as possible using all of the great tools at our disposal today. I also promise to use only treatments with proven effectiveness, and be a reference source in “making sense” out of all of the new treatments and technologies (separating the “hype” from what really works).
The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery has as their slogan, “Trust Your Face to a Facial Plastic Surgeon”, the key word being Trust. Be well, and happy, healthy Holidays. Dr. P
