We you've visited over the past several months, you may have noticed the redecoration of our lobby.  The project has been undertaken to provide more comfortable seating in the lobby.  Fowler Interiors assisted us, and we thank them for their good work.  Individual pieces have been arriving gradually, but everything is complete!

We hope your visits will be handled efficiently, and you won't have long to wait in our lobby.  But we want each of you to be comfortable while you're with us.  Plus, some of our surgery patients' family chose to wait during their spouse's procedures.  They are with us for a while.

If you have any other suggestions  to make your visit more comfortable, please speak with Dr. Graham or one of the staff, or comment here.  Enjoy!

I recently noticed this editorial from last September in USA Today newspaper on the subject of non-plastic surgeons performing cosmetic surgery on patients.  The editorial was published following an article about an unfortunate woman who selected a non-plastic surgeon to perform liposuction surgery on her.  Apparently the surgery was performed in a so-called med-spa. 

Plastic surgeons in South Carolina and nationally have been working to inform the general public and lawmakers about the dangers of our system in which all licensed physicians can legally perform all procedures.  This means patients must carefully select the doctor that claims qualifications to do their surgery. 

It can be hard since well-done advertisements often substitute for referrals from respected doctors and satisfied patients. 

The American College of Surgeons sums it up, "SURGERY BY SURGEONS."
